Default finally decided to make it more than a daily (my 97 hatch)

well ive had the car for about 5 months now and i was just going to keep it as a daily because my truck is horrible on gas. well gas prices have gone down and i got a better job. so, ive been driving the truck more and im really starting to work on the civic now. anyways heres how i got it.



i got bored with it and threw it up for sale for a little while and something just told me to keep it. i did a y8 head swap, arp head studs and cometic gasket with intentions of boosting the single slammer.

before


after




but i decided not to boost the single cam.... but recently i did install some ground controls on tockiko illuminas and some enkie rpf1s with bfg gforce tires.



got bored one day and made a home made grille with some mesh i had laying around.



thats pretty much it for now but my future plans are:

b18c (gsr) swap
sir headlights
99-00 tail lights
dc sports lower control arms and tie bar (ordered)
hks hi power cat back with test pipe (ordered)
sir front lip
clear oem fogs
all body work and paintjob (going back DAP)
and im sure there will be much more to come lol

i will be posting an official build thread in the appearence build thread shortly. all comments accepted, i still have my flame suit lol.

Looks good. Might wanna try running some spacers to make the stance more aggressive.

What's wrong with boosted D's? Do it right and there's no reason not to. For the cost of a GSR you could have a monster of a Dseries turbo.
