Don't fall for too much of the fanboy stuff around here though. But it looks like a solid car.

Nice hatch, keep it simple. Are you running a swap or anything?

No I have like 2 credit cards im gradually paying off, and i acutally bought this car on a loan so im also gradually paying it off. I have a full cat back on it, and just the HX rims on fresh tires. My initial plans next were (In exact sequence )
1: Coilovers
2:J-Style type wing
3: Road race gear front splitter
4:Seats & Steering wheel

Oh i also plan on doing basic maintinence along the way, as my car has just hit like 120k miles, and alot of the parts were OEM, besides some of the things i have already changed...

120k?! WHAT? That's like test drive miles for a Honda! It's brand new.

Don't go overboard. Little bits and enjoy it. Once you start modding it becomes... well... it's like a bad habit you can't shake. I wouldn't replace anything that isn't bad. The OEM stuff does last quite awhile.

Your hatch looks great! More pics please! We're twins, I've got a Rio Red Si with HXs too, but yours looks sooo much cleaner lol. What kind of cat-back did you purchase for it?

Keep up the good, clean work!

Nice to see some good looking EF Civic Sis running around. 1990, right? 120k miles? Wow, very nice. I just hit 235k on my D16A6 from the factory and it is still ticking. Make sure you keep up on the maintenance and you have a solid car for a long time.

Any rust? Has this car or will it see snow?

good plan. no reason to go into more debt doing mods when you have a perfectly good running car. Manana was right, once you start it's hard to stop modding lol. Keep it as is for a while.

I'm starting to get that itch haha. Did a z6 swap and that's not enough. But to the op, love the hatch man. Wish mine was as clean

Thanks for all the love homies.

The exhaust is a Yonaka full cat back, heres a vid clip :D


And yeah here are some more pictures.
The first one is from the day i bought it ( abought 3 1/2 months ago ), to 2 weeks ago. i did a few things, axels, radiator, alternator, distributor cap, rotor, and spark plug wires and plugs, and along with the yonaka full catback i got the hx rims , and i also attempted my first ( Hopefully only ) paint restoration. You cant see it in the paint but on the passenger side its pretty faded compared to the other side.

Thanks again for the love and support, its going to be a slow build but well worth it.

AND it hasnt seen any winters, and hopefully i can buy another accord and store it this winter ...hopefully....

how are you liking the Yonaka exhaust so far? I need to replace my exhaust and the Yonaka system was in consideration. Is there any drone?

I'm really liking the sound I'm getting from it. It's deep , it has a nice tone to it. The only thing is that for me in my opinion it sits funny... But check out the exhaust clip I posted !

Thanks for the info! Yeah I took a look (multiple times) at your vid to try and help me decide on the Yonaka and I think I'm going to go for it. Only problem is it's not in stock anywhere. Care to share where you purchased yours from?
