Default First Honda

I have owned a total of 18 cars now. The Civic is my very first Honda. So far I have grown attached to the car and actually don't feel like flip flopping this one. It is a 97 DX and the only mods are the B16A2 swap, coilovers, and an Injen SRI. I am trying to fix the retarded stance and camber. I want to use this car for auto cross and pure enjoyment.

When I first bought the car.





How it sits now.

its a 97 and it handles like crap in my opinion. I have one more side to raise and I may be getting new wheels this weekend for it. I have already ordered an exhaust. Next is to have the car tagged and replace the TPS sensor.

I will probably do simple bolt ons for now while i try and figure out what engine I want to end up with. I would like something with torque.

I cant seem to get anyone to trade for the steelies. Tons of offers but the best are like XXR 002 with 0 offset or just OEM wheels.

I say if youre only getting offers for OEM go with GSR Blades and cash. Blades on Ek hatches always look good. good luck man.

I'm in agreement. A set of stock wheels with some cash on top is a pretty nice deal for you, since its always good to have a spare set of wheels for day-to-day operation with some higher treadwear.

May be trading for some white Drag DR16. Not my choice of wheel but it should lok WAY better. I may buy some S2 rear camber adjusters so I can get back to the neutral zone. But obtaining the ride height will come first.
