Default Its been a long time coming.

Hows everybody been? Its been awhile that i have posted anything on here or any of the updates. Im going to make a complete build thread once she's all said and done with. But this is a prebuild thread update.
This is how i bought my civic many years ago. It was my first car while I was in highschool.

Than parts started to get swapped out for new ones and i started to clean everything up a bit.



At this point i had added some more carbon fiber to the exterior and interior. I had got rid of all the halo projector headlights and led tailights.

Next before the whole "stance" fling blew up i had tried the im going to try to fit a wider wheel on her. Also caught the stickerbomb bug.





Up to this point my car had a d16y7 automatic with just intake, header, exhaust. Nothing special at all. Which has led to my favorite stage of my car. I ditched the wide wheels, ditched the sticker bomb, and ditched the single cam. I pulled the motor, painted the engine bay a oem Lexus is250 gunmetal grey, and swapped in a B16a. I wanted to go for function and thats what i did.








The car was like that for about a year. Than I had made the decision to take her off the road. Dropped the insurance and turned the tags in. I than knew what I wanted to do so I started sourcing parts. I sourced a Ek4 rhd clip from Elitejdm in Philadelphia Pa. Along came the Oem Honda domani front end. Countless of Oem parts and aftermarket parts. The car got a complete color change to a oem Dodge Charger color. All body work and rhd conversion was done by Josh Croll of Crolls Custom.











Thats basiclly where im at one the build right now. She will be done and ready to go to have her at Honda Day at Englishtown Raceway. I have a decent bit to go but she most deffinitly has came a long way. Thanks everyone for looking.

I'll be blunt and say that car has gone through every **** trend the Honda scene has seen in the past ten years...

Seems like you have decided to go a cleaner, if not more mature route. Glad to see that. The paint job looks really good bro.
