Default check list ??

Hey guys, still kinda new to this... I am looking for a few things for my EK & I've looked on sites like password JDM & such for some stuff... but not having a WHOLE lot of luck...

More specifically tho, I'm looking for an armrest delete, any 2000 front end pieces, (I'm from the Louisville area) lower control arms, short shifter, wheels, etc. If you got something you think I could use let me know!! Thanks guys*

if your looking to buy, honda marketplace has a wtb[want to buy] section.

secondly, make sure you stay away from ebay parts.

lower control arms, blox racing make reliable, affordable aftermarket lca's. wheels, its all what your into. Drag makes a wide selection of wheels, that sell for quite affordable prices. theyre pretty nice wheels, unless your one who wants to throw down 1.5k+ on a set of used but legit mugens.

password jdm is known to be expensive, only thing i bought from them was a set of tow hooks. wek sos industries [weaksauceparts.com] has a wide selection of aftermarket parts.

I just bought blox LCAs from jhpusa.com. It was a good place to buy from, fair prices, shipped quickly, and the shipping fees weren't outrageous. I haven't installed my LCAs yet (waiting on my konis to arrive), but they seem perfectly fine.

Check junk yards for the front end and armrest delete. My DX (every DX) has the "armrest delete." I wouldn't get one though, armrests are nice to have. If we lived near each other I would trade you.

jackass, LOL. my previous owner ghetto sprayed my entire interior, emphasis on the ghetto. chipping, peeling, ugh. a short ram intake made of lowes pvc pipe, held on by a zip tie to the strut bar!

de-ricing is almost a must with most civic buys these days.

Niiiiicce.... hahaha lmfao! some ppl... right?? Idk. I guess mines not ALLLL that bad. . . but like, he hit something then instead of replacing it with a 00 front end... put the 96-98 front end ... not toooo much difference but ugh! Parts i DIDNT wanna have to **** with. o well. thats pretty much the only EXTERIOR thing other than it need paint, wheels, & tint. Thought about cuttin stock springs but since I live in the country it's not on the top of my list. . . (lowered car on railroad tracks = EPIC FAIL. just saying) anyways everything else is mechanical. . . But like just little things.

id get a $40 ebay coilover sleeve kit before bothering to cut springs, chopping springs is a total volkswagen thing to do. and thats EBAY junk, haha ;P

i got a skunk2 full coilover set coming, just because i like the threaded strut, able to go lower than the gc sleeves on my rusted out konis. gotta pay to play, i guess. ha.

well, as far as your original "check list" question, heres my current list of parts ordered/to be ordered shortly. i spend about a year trying to find a hatchback [that wasnt riced beyond low-budget fixing] and had a motor in/clean title. not too much to ask for, but still, no luck. so im fixing up my 95 coupe before college next year, everything but a swap and boost, thats next summer :D.

painting supplies, being painted olive green.
skunk2 coilovers
bronze rota circuit 10's 15x6.5 +40 with 195/50 tires
blox purple lug nuts
blox lca's
password:jdm fog lights
password:jdm tow hooks
password:jdm magnetic oil and tranny plugs
seibon cf hood
tenzo r rally seats
takata 4-point harness
mishimoto aluminum radiator
replacement vss [oem vss is SHOT]
type r pu front lip

password:jdm certainly isnt the cheapest, but they have quality products. and will sell to you for discount, now that your on honda-tech! 109.99+ shipping for tow hooks, i got mine for 99 shipped.

looking locally helps too. i found a set of tenzo r rally seats, like new. absolutely CLEAN, 125 bucks
