Default My 99 coupe build

This has been a little bit of a slow project lately. This what I started with, it was completely stock i lowered it and put the blades on.





Then i started buying parts.







Now I figured it was time to do work.














Since this last photo I have been working on the bay a little at a time cleaning up the gagle **** of wires


Then i opted for a little front end face lift. I need to take a better picture.


The motor is a stock b16 bottom end with a ctr head and a ctr trans with a 1.5way locker. I know the stock diff was fine but it wont be in the future. Let me know what you guys think so far. I have a ton more parts I just dont have all the time to do the stuff.

Gotta give you points. Its a Coupe, with a swap, and AC. Everything else is pretty typical. And you're not going to get any points from anyone with the PW towhook. So be prepared for that.

Also is that cluster just a face you put on the original, or was it an Si cluster you swapped in before the face was put on? Cause if it was your original, then the tach doesnt read right.

if you look a little closer the password jdm piece, it is not a tow hook it is a radiator stay. as far as the cluster,I didn't want to lose the original mileage reading the tach reading doesn't bother me because the needle buries out at the bottom of the dash anyway. thanks for the constructive criticism. There is going to be some serious upgrades coming. I have already built another head next I and going to find another block to sleeve.

Just ignore Rude Awakening.

Car and swap look good. Any plans for different wheels than blades? Never personally cared for those on civics.

Looks good man. Anyone who confuses a tow hook with a radiator stay is a moron anyway so ignore that guy.
