Default Best OEM "mods???" for civic?

Hello fellow HONDA-TECHERS!!

I used to own a 1997 integra w/ a fully built LS-Vtec. I sold it & purchased a 1997 honda Civic EX, completely stock.

now i purchased a few mods that i already knew I wanted..

-Honda Domani front end conversion
-Tien S. Tech lowering springs

*saving for a K20 or K24 swap

I came to a conclusion that i wanted to stick with OEM mods but im not sure what would be sweet OEM mods or what would be kinda stupid??

OEM mods are for interior & exterior only please

*im not modding the motor until i get my k-swap

SOOOOOOOOOOOO....????? WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

Q: What kind of profile tire would i get for 90-93 Accord alloy wheels, if i wanted to get low profile tires?

THANKS GUYS!!! Suggestions welcomed

Haters are welcomed if you have a legit reason why

Is there a wiring diagram for the s2k cluster? I found some CTR seats I'm thinking about getting.

And I haven't decided on the 5 lug. Would it be a good decision since I'll eventually be getting a K-series?

There's a couple links I found real quick for the s2000 cluster swap...I remember there being a better one somewhere but I can't find it right now...those should at least give you an idea of what you're getting into since you're looking into the idea. Hope this helps.

That's a good read for the domani front end conversion as well.

Teg sway bar, wheels, seats, brakes... S2K clusters are sweet, CTR clusters are sort of cool, not worth $400 though. Maybe Si grill and lip. Check out the visual section and steal ideas from others...

These are great idea's too

Personally, i think the S2K looks like ***, but everyone has different tastes. As far as CTR clusters costs go, just shop around, i paid $200 for mine shipped

The lip and grill do look very good, giving a clean look

Mind me asking what you paid, and what was included?
How much was shipping?

Thanks.

you could install the Civic dash. That'd be sweet!

Going 5 lug would let you run 36mm axles...you'll need them. Otherwise, there are some specially machined 36mm 4 lug hubs. Dunno who makes them Rick_Rabies put a set on his car.

would i need 36mm or 32mm 5 lug for a k-swap?
or do i need them at all?

im going to get an S2K cluster and im doin my interior in CTR.

Anyone know where i can get a complete exhaust from a civic type r? or atleast a muffler?


I got a domani front end conversion and i paid $860 including shipping. and it only took a week to get to my house... not bad because i thought it'd be more

You dont need 5 lug for a k swap. You could do 32mm or 36mm.

Try giving, n1 concepts, weaksauce,jdmspeedworx a call. Im sure one of them can get you a muffler or exhaust.
