Default Super Slow EJ2 build

Had the car for almost 2 1/2 years now and have been doing things slowly and saving up for my dream parts. Keep in mind too that as of now I live on a dirt road so most mods have been cosmetic or minor since I'm not going to mod suspension or engine until I move in the spring. For now I have been goin with what I got and I have the only "rally-esque" civic in southern florida haha but i'm cool with it for now, I even had rally armor mudflaps to keep the dirt off lol. Hopefully I'll complete this project somewhere down the road.

95 EJ2
D15b7
stock 5spd
AEM short ram with dry flow filter
stock suspension
stock exhaust except no muffler
Konig Feather 15x7 with Falken Ze912 195/60/15
replaced front and rear bumper
tinted tail lights
Spoon rep mirrors

Future Goals and Mods
Paintjob numero uno
Turbo the D15 low psi possibly build internals Vitara, Bisi Cam, etc
Walbro 255
DSM injectors
either full 3" exhaust or 3"-2.5" with cutout.
Been saving for Progress Coilovers.
ASR subframe
Front and Rear sway bar
LCA's
Roll cage is high up on my list.
Carbon Fiber bucket for driver atleast harness etc
NRG quick release
possibly spoon lip


I would like to keep this car as long as possible so my short term plans are for turbo but down the road I would really love to see a K series go in and make it a full track car but who knows what will happen.


Bought it 155k on it for 2300. Ran amazing and still does no major problems whatsoever. Was in really good shape interior and exterior wise besides a few hail dings and a resprayed roof. No pics but had chopped front springs which looked mean but rode bad so replaced front struts.



dont have pics but first few small diy's were repsraying windshield wiper arms, side moulding, and mudflaps. All turned out really good except the side moulding wasnt clear coated enough and faded quick.

bought a Broadway for Christmas. Really enjoy it besides not being able to see traffic lights sometimes lol


my buddy was shocked to see my stock radio still worked.

hopefully getting a weighted shift **** and extender this month. tired of the light piece o junk

Nothing frustrates me more than having a bay this dirty but living on a dirt road its pointless to clean it up..so aggravating. In the future I'd like a minor tuck and clean up


First major upgrade in my eyes anyway was new wheels/tires. My steelies had nearly bald mismatched tires on em which were fun for spinning and chirping lol but were super sketchy in the rain. Got Konig Feather in gold 15x7 +38 also Gorilla lugs with the toothed socket, im really happy with em. Falken ze912 195/60/15 again I went with the taller tire cus of the dirt roads but overall i was super happy with the fitment and closer to "rallyish" look lol.



Ultimately I want to go 205/50/15 on 15x8's cus I love seein that meatiness.

Most recently I have repainted the window trims and roof trim pieces, installed spoon rep mirrors, and begun stripping interior (rear seat delete, sound deadening) and painting trunk/rear interior. More pictures will be up soon.



I know I'll probably catch heat for stripping interior since its my daily, but its been something I've been wanting to do forever and personally love the look of a nice glossy interior with a roll cage which is my ultimate goal so i'm starting early. Plus its fun stripping it down gettin to know my car and I dont mind the noise.

Also besides the WS2 what muffler would you recommend that isn't going to rasp or look gay? I personally don't like the N1 style fart cans and sooo many mufflers/exhausts out there just seem to amplify the rasp and sound horrible which is the reason I haven't gotten a muffler yet.

My thought was if I had an exhaust shop fab up an axle back straight pipe piece almost like an axle back BC spec 2. Personally I love the sound of the BC spec 2 but obviously its just way too loud. Just curious because like I said, down the road I'm going to go 3 or 2.5 and don't want to spend 300-400 on an exhaust that I'll have to get rid of.
