This is my first time actually posting pictures of my car on here. The car has come a long way since I took ownership of it 4 years ago, therefore I'd like to share the different stages the car has gone through. I am pretty much done with car, so I might be parting it out next spring. Guess I'll let the pictures do most of the talking. Oh and sorry about the mismatched image sizes.
First year modding... What a joke. Thought I was cool with SiR wheels, stock ride height and unpainted front/rear lip.
-2000 Civic Si, stock,automatic(EX in the US)

Second year. I got rear ended by a drunk driver.

Insurance company decided to fix it since it had really low KMs.
Got the front/rear lip, sideskirts/mouldings painted along with OEM foglights and CTR upper grill. Then dropped on a set of AGX/GC shock/spring combo.



Third year. Got a bit serious with modding the car, which includes a motor swap, automatic to manual swap and along with other goodies.
2000 GSR w/ b16 tranny swap. Oh how I got royally screwed over with the swap. Motor was smoking along with a busted up tranny. Drove around the whole summer with it smoking, but ended up getting a new tranny because it was a Daily driver.

Some parts collected during the swap.

How it looked like during the season...




Fourth year(hopefully my last) I got even more serious with it. First thing was to get the motor fixed, so it went to Danny at motions for a rebuild right after I brought it out of winter storage. I then got it back looking like this

Then I started to collect some parts while the car was in the paint shop...
Thanks to Memoryfab:

Work Meisters and Recaro speeds

Finishing up paint and test fitting the bumper at the paintshop

Some pictures from DRIVEN Winnipeg car show. It was a bit of a rush to have the car ready for the car show.





Last but not least... a shoot by a friend. I know I need to lower it a bit more, but oh well.










Thanks for looking!
