I traded my 1992 4dr Civic LX on 10/29/10 and picked up a CLEAN CIVIC HX


First, some recognition for the old car.......



Still love the freaking car but it was time to get rid of it.

So I this is the beauty I traded for.......



Still kinda wondering why the guy traded me lol.

Specs:

1997 Honda Civic HX
D16Y5 with VTEC-E (around 160000K on the motor)
99-00 Front end conversion
Tein lowering springs
Mugen Replica Lip
Rear Lip
15 inch Sportmaxx 501 +15 offset with stretched 195/45 tires
No name intake and thats about it.

I was looking for a car that didnt have to much done to it compared to my other car. Wanted to start off fresh!!! lol

So im getting a settlement check and a financial aid check soon and was gonna buy some coilovers plus a camber kit for my car. For coils idk weather to get TEIN Basic Dampers, Buddyclub N+ Coils, or K-Sports.
What do you guys think? Lemme know what you reccomend and what you suggest for future mods.

A few more pics.....

 

Looks good. I've been contemplating getting smaller tires on my xxr's and throwing them on the Ej1.. Looks awesome! On my s13 (different chassis I know) I have a set of Buddyclub D1 spec coils and they're quite awesome. Buddyclub makes great products. Ksports are crap and teins are nothing but a name (at least in the 240 world). Every set of Tein coils (Espescially basics) on friend's cars have rode terrible and do not seem to go very low for the price. After some research, Function and Form seem to be the best bang for the buck and ride awesome as well. Probably not too much help to ya..

 

some 99-00 Si tails are a fav of mine, maybe yours too? lol

 

Yea I know I need the 99-00 tails lol. So should I go Function and Form Type 1 or 2? Cause dont Type 1's not allow you to adjust dampening?

 

Looks like a good deal!

I always wanted a 96-00 HX, there like non existent around here.

 

Cool, spend financial aid on suspension...

 

Function and form type 2 ftw!

 

Haha im only gonna use the financial aid money cause I already have 4 years of college paid for its extra money that im getting back lol

 

Yeah I think I lucked out man, the car is freaking terrific on gas too!@
lol

 

haha I agree but for the price they are?

 

must be nice...still have 12g's left on my loans. Nice lookin car, man. looks very clean.

 

Nice trade

 

looks clean, i'd ditch the si conv. idea though...imo it has way more unique style as is

 

So no 99-00 tails??? lol

 

THANKS MAN

Thanks man ,sorry about the loan money I lucked out with the scholarship.

 

awsome trade

 

+1 for N+

 

Looks like you traded a piece of crap, for a piece of crap. Good job Brocephus.

 

 

that's up to you, i personally like the look of the stock taillights better, imo if your looking for a good suspension set up d2 racing is amazing and the price is great

 

CTR mirrors would be dope.

 

Looks good dude
