Default Introduction!

Whats up guys? I've been trolling on Honda-Tech for a while now, but Ive never posted anything, mostly just reading, but I figure now is a better time to get active.

I live a little north of Atlanta, GA. Recently picked up a 1995 Civic DX(Yeah thats the b7), and it has A/C! O.O. I am just now getting into honda, and Im loving the great MPG and reliability of these suckers. I migrated from a 1988 Rx-7, and the Rotary is still my favorite, but I dont have the money to deal with one right now. I dont have any great pics of the car as it sits right now, but theres nothing jaw dropping about it. I picked it up with 160k miles, a really messed up hood, UGLY WHEELS, Red mirrors, and a MINT interior. Since then, I Rattlecanned the whole car back to shiny black, got a new hood, put steelies on, painted my Valve cover and threw and intake on it.

This is pretty much strictly a DD, I am really interested in getting more power, but I know it wont happen with the B7, so sometime later this year or early next year, I plan to either swap a DOHC into the civic or get something with some more power.

Im really interested in learning about these things, because mine has a few problems that need to be fixed, but nothing major, Ill make a thread later about those. Now, for the pics.



Valve cover =D.




The car when I first got it.




The only pic I have after the new paint, Dont ask why Im hanging out the window. xD



Last but not least! My old FC, Ill love it forever.



Thanks for taking the time to look at what Im doing at the moment, I plan on getting the ( OMG NO NOT JDM ) "JDM" Tails, and thats about it for cosmetic, just because those lights are sexy!

Also, does anyone know what kind of coils would be good for a nice lower drop, but without worrying too much about speed bumps? I've heard Ground controls, but thats the only brand I have heard so far, I dont want slammed.

Im not too worried, my area is pretty safe, and my room overlooks the driveway, besides, its a rattlecanned stock DX, I doubt people are out looking for it xD. You wouldnt know how much Import Experts would charge do you? Winder is only about 20-30 mins away.
