Default No0b to Honda...My 98 vsm

What's up guys! I've been a member here for a couple of weeks now so i decided to post some pics of my 98 coupe si (canadian model). So far all it has is an aem short ram, canadian model sir mags and in my trunk is a set of tokico blues with h&r lowering springs which i will install tommorow. The paint has seen better days, but other than that, car runs great!

Here are some fast pics after a good wash.







Future plans are:
-motor swap (B16A)
-re-spray (Championship White)
-5 lug conversion
-white integra type-r mags
-full line skunk2 exhaust
-99-00 rear tail lights
...and other type-r little goodies for the interior.

For now, she will sit like this until winter comes along.

Thanks!

Nick

Clean, solid looking car to start with. Have fun with it.

VSM FTW! a nice wax & buff and the paint will look amazing, trust me. I'd keep it VSM. oh yea and the 99/00 tails make a huge difference IMO.

Thanks everyone!

The paint is really wack. Previous owner did some touch-ups to it cause of some deep scrathes along the sides and trunk lid. Really crappy touch up job if you ask me!

I'm an ex vw guy, so this is all new to me. Going to have some fun with her.

Heres my old mk4 golf which I sold for the new civic.





and my old mk2 gti

Thanks for the positive comments guys. I'm learning something new everyday here on honda-tech. The magic of the search button haha

For the interior, I know that acura 1.6-1.7 el seats will fit right in, but is there other seats that will bolt right in also without having to switch base rails? I want a leather interior, but i will have to get my door panels redone
