Default My Build Thread

The first few months I got my 2002 Civic EX coupe it looked pretty stock. I put some Rotas on and Type-R Grille, Lowered on Eibach Sportlines, GReddy Evo 2 Exhaust, and K&N FIPK Intake.





It stayed looking like that for quite a while until my tires got worn and I had to roll on steelies.





I painted my grille.



Put my wheels back on even though they were bald. I hated rolling on steelies.



I blacked out the headlights.



Got a Mugen Style Front Lip





Finally painted my front lip and had to put a pair of back up wheels on.



Got Black 15x6.5 Konig Heliums and painted them blue. I liked them.



Then sometime in between then I sold the Konig Heliums and got some Rota Slipstreams in white.

I then got rid of the Rota Slipstreams and went back to my Rota Grids and painted them white. I took off the Amber inserts in the headlights and with the help of Harlowe, did DIY city lights.







Come December of '08, I get a gift from friends for my birthday and they got me a Blox Shift **** and a Revo SS.

My car basically looked the same for almost a whole year, I switched back to the back up wheels because the tires on the Rotas were gone.

I got hit on my passenger side quarter panel and got it fixed.



I dyno'd my car recently just for fun and surprisingly enough, it did better than I expected. My filter wasn't cleaned for a year and my oil is 500+ miles over due.

I was expecting about 109 Whp and about 97 lb/ft but it did more than I expected.

Here are the results: (Didn't know how to scan as a picture but I took a screen shot of it off a PDF.)



It got 113.68 whp and 106.42 lb/ft.

Well, here's how she looks now. I cleaned up my filter and engine bay. I also painted the "VTEC" white.





I cleaned up my headlights too!





Look at mah butt!





Thanks for looking! I'll post the modlist a little later.

No doubt about that. Although he did have 18s on it. That was kind of whack but it served as a good back up wheel.

Nice ride... How's the ride on the sportlines? How much was the drop? The rear doesn't sag lower than the front?
