So I just picked up this 00' civic si milano red, it came with bride seats, some generic SRI and idk what kind of lowering springs. Everything else is stock and it's missing it's si lip/rims/front strut bar/muffler. It has some small generic muffler on and it has a gutted catalytic. Idk what to start with on fixing it up, can you guys help me?

 

It also has a short shifter, but the some idiot cut the threads on it so I want to change the shift ****, but I would also have to buy a new short shifter too -_-

 

wheels

 

Some things I think you should think through...

- new OEM wheels (Si, GSR blades, LS mesh, etc)
- new/better springs (if the ones on the car right now are some cheap, eBay special)
- I'm pretty sure those Bride seats are fake, but don't hold me on it. If they are, I recommend getting OEM Honda seats or REAL aftermarket seats instead.
- new shifter + shift ****
- front + rear OEM lips?

 

sounds like your car's in alright mechanical order, other than maybe your springs... I would go with suspension mods and wheels (oem ones are nice and economical, like mattyz suggested)

there are tons of build threads on here with awesome cars, look around and see what you like

if it were me...

- get rid of the after market shift, go with an integra one, and a better shift ****
- get rid of the seats, they don't look real to me either, and since none of the rest of the parts or high end, it's a pretty good chance those are knock off, go with integra ones
- buy a used ITR front strut bar, bolts right, looks great!
- buy a battery hold down, your car is missing it
- find a front lip and what ever wheels you desire
- take off the "H" on the hood, it doesn't belong there
- get some oem floor mats, and perhaps a decent radio

Good luck, the car looks pretty good otherwise, and don't let chicks sit on the trunk like the one in the picture, ha ha

 

what? There are about 80 million billion options on what to do with civics.

You need some decent looking wheels. The rest is up to opinion. Fix whatever's wrong with it.

Leave the seats in. They're probably fake...but who cares? They're allready in and I'm sure they look/feel great.

 

X2 on the people sitting on the trunk thing

 

See how nice the oem ITR strut bar mounts under the engine bay for a clean and functional use

 

^^nice strut bar.

but OP whatever you do DO NOT MAKE YOUR CAR LIKE THE GREEN CIVIC in the second picture. good luck!

so should i go w/ my front lip n short shifter/**** then start to work on the exhaust... since i do have a gutted catalytic and some generic muffler... cause money's tight these days.. can't cash out everything at once..

Just bought the front/rear lip, short shifter w/ skunk 2 ****. Should I start to work on the exhaust now or something else..

 

you should do a skunk2 catback as well or maybe a buddy club spec II or III. try and get a 2.5" catback tho. do you plan on boosting it?

 

also post up new pics once that stuffs installed

 

I also have a feeling the seats are knockoffs(no reason just a hunch)
The little monster on the little tag should have certain things to look for. Theres a thread about it or you can search the bride website.
Anyways keep them if they feel decent.

Keep the badge on the hood it looks neat.

Do you still have the sway bars? If you do then some konis and ground controls about $800 shipped and call it a day

Oh and some si's or meshes

 

i'm thinking of getting the skunk 2 megapower full exhaust.. idk what headers.. maybe dc sports since they are carb legal.. and aem sri or cai(but fender liner for it is gone so water will go tot he intake) and i think the bride seats are replicas but it's w/e it's still sexy and buckety to sit in.. thanks for the input guys.. i will post new pics when i get the parts..

 

that ITR strut bar is freakin sexy

 

nice gl with it

 

found out i don't have lowering springs, i have coilovers... dunno what kind yet.. i will find out when i have more time. somehow i got 1 day shippin on my lips... here are some pics.. now i can't wait till my em1 crew stickers comes in and my new short shifter/****.

 

The car must have been repainted...the side dohc decals are missing, and the lower side skirts aren`t painted at all. The lips would look good color matched.

 

I would take off the "H" on the front. get urself some wheels and dump it!

 

i think i can dump it now.. i found out it's on adjustable coilovers.. dunno what brand but all i know is if i hit a slight bump in the road.. it hits me hard..

 

oh yea and i ordered some dohc decals, they should be coming anytime now..

 

Not to bad... Color match your sideskirts n lips n throw some blades on it.. I think they will look nice...
