Hey guys, I just picked up a 2000 Civic 4 Door Automatic w/ 130k miles for $1K.

Now, the motor and tranny are going to be pulled in favor of a GSR Swap so that aspect is taken care of. I am looking for some ideas on wheels, suspension & the body... What do you guys think are some good combinations???

Here is the car as it sits now.


I was thinking of changing the color to white but would like to hear your ideas... I have only owned coupes and hatchbacks before so this is my first 4 door Civic.

Please include photos with your ideas!

thanks,
Joshua

 

I wouldn't bother changing the color, but it's your choice.

Things i would do to that car.....get some integra seats, swap out the trunk lid for an EL one along with tail lights...some even have the optional spoiler on them, add a rear sway bar and frame brace if you are going with a thick one.

The suspension, so many options, i suggest you search for that one

 

Thanks for your input. I really wanna do this one nice... The seats are easy to get along with the trunk lid. What taillights should I go with and what spoiler looks nice???

thanks,
Joshua

 

Did you also mean the EX trunk lid???

thanks,
Joshua

 

This needs to go in the Appearance forum. There is no tech here.

 

i think the el conversion was only ment for 7th gen civics not 6th gen... as he said i see no tech in this post

 

there are two EL's...the 1.6 (older) and the 1.7 (new)

the 6th gen civic is fine for a conversion.....

 

I like white. Go with that! I would do a Si front end, lower it and no spoiler.

 

Lol cracks me up when people say do an si conv on a 99-00 civic, it's the same front end minus the lip haha

 

Strip it, cage it, race it.

 

Eventually I am going to strip, it turbo it and race it but for now I need a daily driver. Money seems to be the only obstacle in my way. If I had it my way, the exterior would look like this.




The engine, something like this.


I plan to do most of the fabrication myself. I will design & build the manifold, downpipe, exhaust, intercooler & piping, Intake Manifold, Fuel Cell, roll cage, etc. Anything that can be built instead of bought I will create myself. Will save me a ton of money in the long run.

Shooting for 500+ eventually and it doesn't hurt that we have a Dynojet where I work and that my boss drives the Ford Racing Funny Car!


Anymore ideas guys??

thanks,
Joshua

 

Do it how you like it...or else it isn't yours. Check this thread out: https://honda-tech.com/forums/group-threads-123/%2A%2A-offical-96-00-civic-4dr-thread-%2A%2A-part-2-a-2238014/

 

Hey Joshua, how's it going? Nice pick up man! Welcome to the four door gang haha! Here's a photo of my car. Hope it gives you some ideas!
