I have never had a build thread before, so bare with me, its going to be a slow one because I am in school and work part time.

Well my name is Armin, I am 19 years old finishing up my last year of high school. A little about me, I am originally from Bosnia, been in the states since first grade I currently live in Fargo, ND, but I have lived in Des Moines, IA and a couple other states., I have been into European cars for ever. Since i was 16 years old I have driven European cars, but I finally wanted to get into a Honda.

I sold my 2002 VW GTi 1.8T that had some fairly nice mods and paid off my loan, and bought a Honda
I had a 94 Automatic coupe, that had a bad headgasket and a bunch of problems, I sold that because I didnt want to deal with the fact that its automatic. Then I traded off some parts I had laying around in my garage for a 91 crx. I had plans of swapping a type R into it with the money left after my gti was sold. Sold the crx and got my self a 93 dx.

I started out with this
1993 Honda Civic

List of mods that came with the car from the for sale add.
sony cd player
alpine speakers ( turned out to be sony speakers)
ebay coilovers
aem intake
MOMO Steering wheel
NRG Quick Release
Short Throw Shifter
dc sports header
mugen knockoff strutbars
Sway Bars
8,000k hids
si style taillights
d16z6 engine w/ 5spd
15" drag wheels gunmetal with polished lip
Some cat back exhaust

Here is how I bought the car
Sorry for the huge pictures



Next to my brothers 97 coupe which is also a work in progress


Well I drove the car home, and it ran like crap. I was told by several mechanics engine is shot, headgasket, valves, all bunch of crap. Decited to take the car to a local ship Tintmasters Motorsports, 250$ later my car ran fine. it had a automatic ECU,vtec wasnt hooked up correctly, map sensor wasnt wired in bla bla bla. Well its all fixed so I start driving it again.

took the vc off to check under there it looked pretty good


Took the wheels off and put my brothers steelies on. also took the hood off and spray painted it black for now because of the blue paint on it.

Dirty engine bay

Previous owner welded the exhaust all ghetto so I tried to fix it up at school and fixed my rattling issues.

Driver side door handle was messed up, so I got that

gave it a bath

took out the carpet, woods and about 20 pounds of garbage/screws/papers out of the trunk and it looked like this

after a little wash it went to this

Then came the Rota's and more low





Parts in the mail
New muffler, the rest of the exhaust wasnt to bad so no need to replace it yet.
Orange side lights
New shift boot and shift ****.

Future mods
Better coiloverrs
Full Paint Job
Red Lower Control Arms
Red Tow Hooks
Red Lug nuts
Boost or Engine Swap
Lip Kit
and what ever else happens

I also have Leather gsr seats in my garage I have to try install

 

looks pretty clean what brand of hid's are those?

 

Dope steering wheel..

 

you must live in a dusty area. my trunk always looks like that. i have to clean out every month.

 

thanks guys, and yeah I love the steering wheel, im not sure if its suppose to be a bit shacky/moveable when its attached to the quick release? Ive never had a aftermarket steering wheel.

But no i dont live in a dusty area that was how i bought the car, and about the HIDS ill have too look into it

 

got out of night school early tonight and took a few with my cell phone




shift **** broke up, and i found a replacement in my garage from my old cars but its missing screws, so I ordered a new black with red stitching shift boot and a new shift **** yesterday

 

I need im gonan go down to a 194-40 or 45-15 inch tire so i can go a bit lower.. even tho my friends say im low enough

 

didnt do much to my car lately, except get new corner lights, installed my new muffler, take out my fender liners and lower the front some more.




gonna install the lights today
