My Civic LX 97 Slowwwwwww Build when i say slow i mean SLOW! lots of pix
I got the car back in July 2010 when i got it i automatically did the Timing Belt, Tensioner, Water Pump, Valve Cover Gasket (DUH), NGK Spark Plugs, NGK Plug Wires, Cap, Rotor, All new Fluids, Oil, Tranny Oil, I Started de-rusting everything under the Hood and detailed the crap out of the inside.
I am the second owner of this car when i bought the car it had 125K on it and so far i put 10k on it, there are a few problems the car is automatic (will soon start my conversion), The car is originally from Lake Michigan so there is a little appearance of the cancer on my quarter panel, there is some mysterious spot of paint missing on my roof, has an oil leak and burns oil like crazy but besides all that it is a great vehicle.
I never had time to take pictures of it being fully stock the only pic of it being stock I have is this one after i got the tint done.

After getting my tint done I decided to go the simple route and get a lip and a grille :D




After painting and installing those parts I made a stupid noobie mistake and just went out and bought a cheap HID Kit that was supposedly Philips but that peeled of and there was Chinese writing on it -_- Lesson learned.
Came out looking like crap so I went back to OEM Bulbs

Random pic w/ my friends CD5 Accord







More Randoms at a local car meet my car w/ GSR Blades next to my car is my friends EK Hatch and next to us is our other friends DA9 Teg


After saving up a little bit of cash i ran into some good deals on headlights with retrofits that included a HID Kit from BMW in it and Fog lights they have halos on them but i do not use them i only got these because i think they look cool and they help me see better at night.


Next thing i took care of was my passenger rear wheel hub was replaced with a OEM part from Honda, than i decided to replace my seal that is located in the tranny right where the axel pops into it because i had and still have a oil leak
after taking care of all the techincal problems i decided that i liked the look of painted side skirts so i went out and bought some paint and painted my stock ones!

After that i have invested in some GSR Fat Fives 94-95
I am currently working on polishing them up I did one already but it didn't come out so hot from a distance yes but upclose it sux so i have to redo it!




My next plan for the car is to get SI Style rear lights, Auto-to-Manual Conversion, B20Vtec swap, and fresh paint VSM FTW
This will be a very slow build but bare with me
thank you for looking

Got new OEM floor mats today from the junk yard the driver side is not so great but it will do for now until i can find another wish they were black but they are still awesome non the less
Today i installed a Sub and a 94-97 Acura Integra GSR Cluster into the civic took a while now i need to make it all pretty
Few things Here are pics of my GSR Cluster


Installed GSR Rear seats looking for front seats have to be cloth to match my back.. also wrapped my armrest in some cloth left from door inserts from a GSR I had, started wrapping my interior in black suede so far i did 2 door panels and a sun visor soon to be the whole roof all door inserts and my other sun visor will post pics of this soon
Also Decided to throw a honda badge on the front of my car and it looks pretty good and took it for a photo session a mini one






Last night when comin back from the local meet my tranny decided to throw a cel at me and when i checked it with my OBDII today i had two codes P0700 and P0730 and i am not that inclined to fix it so im going to start my Auto TO manual conversion yay!

I can see that people are just not responding to the thread and theres a bunch of views but eh what the hell i'll keep posting for my own reference and to show my friends any suggestions appreciated but MOVING ON
So here are finally pics of my GSR Seats in the Back

I also decided to redo my Fat Fives so i stripped all the clear off of them and the paint and picked up some Gun metal color wheel paint with glitter in it here's the result
Before:

After:

pictures aren't always as good as a in person look plus i took those at night
also today i felt creative so i went down to autozone and bought a new valve cover gasket my old one is pretty new but i don't want to cheap out on my parts i replaced the valve cover gasket and all the seals for the spark plugs with new gaskets because I've done this


I painted the heat shield for my header as well much better looking than rust and silver i think
for the past few days I've also been working on this



Wrapping my inside in suede its not perfectly done but i will finish and touch it up in the future here soon rightnow its barely 50% done
Also i got some new goodies like a Cobra Radar Detector and a TomTom XL Nav System

Also installed myself a better deck something newer than my Pioneer

Random shot of my cluster:

everything works and looks like its suppose to be in there (Kinda)
And earlier today i took a couple pictures




This is how my car sits rightnow as is up to date

Hey Wrona, how long did it take you to get your cluster removed, replaced, and installed?? im planning on getting a new one after i get my manual tranny implant LOL...
OHH!! How did you install your foglights?? did you wire tap it to the main headlights?? could you post up some pics of how you did them? i cud use some help since mines kinda acting up and it sucks since mine only turns on when you have the headlights on...
Took me about 45 minutes for everything,
i used this diagram for everthing http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=97738
For my foglights i simply put my fuse end into the fusebox where it splits off from my switch to turn on the fog lights
