Default 98 Civic Ex daily build thread



So this is my 98 Civic ex coupe, it is my daily. To tell you a little about it I got the car this past June completely stock!! Picked it up for a steal at $2k with only 142,xxx miles. It had a bad fuel pump, east fix

She sits today with em1 tail lights, ek9 sidemarkers, oem headlights (DIY blackhousing), true Stanley fogs. type r grill, mugen lip, b&m dual bend shifter, pwjdm carbon fiber intake, bisimoto header, magnaflow cat, greddy sp catback, and best of all TRUE Work Rs-b's wrapped in nitto neogen!! (will update pics with all new goodies, I'm at work and this was the only pic I had lol)

Future plans include possible turbo on the y8 or swapping in a jdm gsr. Hp plans are only 200-250. Carbon fiber hood/trunk. As much suspension as possible for a nice daily/track car.

Hope you like it!! Will update soon!!

Sounds good. Fix those pics!

And why would you shell out $800 at least for a bisi header when you are planning on going turbo or swapping? Unless you got a deal on it, or you already had it, I just don't understand why.

Intake and and header then you're going turbo? You sure you thought this through? A Bisi header is as much as a decent turbo all by itself and is a total waste of money even if you NEVER go turbo.

No real update, but I sold the header and I'm keeping the intake for now. Stock exhaust manifold is on there now. Done alot of research and I've decided to start gathering parts for a turbo kit. I am going to be doing all my business through go-autoworks. They seem to be reputable and have great reliable parts. I will be getting the mild street package with the Garret t3/t4 with tial bov and wastegate. I was looking into 450cc injectors any ideas? A chipped and tuned p28 with hondata. Like I said before I would like to see 200-250 whp on stock internals. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Find a good tuner. Call them and ask all these questions.

I'll be doing all the work on the car and trailer it to a tuner. There was really no questions except a little advice on injectors.
