Default EJ6 hatchcrack DD build!

Sup guys. I bought a new daily driver, it's a 1998 Civic CX. The reason why it caught my eye is because it only has 161,000kms which is like 100,000miles on the original d16y7, it's a one owner car and the guy was in his late 40's and it looks like he took really good care of it. I really wanted to get another coupe, but I got this for a STEAL of a price, so I had to jump on it.

It's going to be my daily/winter car that I'm going to drive while my Integra gets stored so I'm not really going to do anything crazy to it. I think I'll just throw my old rims on it, maybe a duckbill and a few other little things, I don't want to lower it because then it'll defeat the purpose of having a winter car, haha. Depending how things go I might replace the stupid looking intake manifold for the y8 one, and same for the exhaust manifold.

Here are a few pictures that the other guy took, I'll take some of my own pictures on Monday when I get home from my snowboarding trip. :D

Gave it a wash and wax today. It honestly doesn't look that bad for 12 year old paint.








I need to clean the bay up a little, what color should I paint the VC? I was going to do black, but that would be too much black.
