Hey!
this is just an Introduction post so everyone can get to know me.
I've done couple different builds, but I've never got to get into motor work.
when i turn 17 i bought my first civic it was a 96 Ek coupe Auto.

this is how i picked it up



mind you i was working a part time job at the time was not making much cash so i just made the best of it.

i ended up trading that civic for what would been my first hatch



i have always liked the front end conversions on civics so i did a Domani front end conversion on it the next day




i had it like that for a while prepped the car for paint and decided to part with the Domani Front end

went back to original 2000 and sold the rotas




before i even painted the car i ended up selling it to be honest just wanted a cleaner shell so i ended up selling it and bought an 2004 acura tsx




but that car was left exacly as it was just needed a daily

i have always liked the eg's
so my buddy decided to sell his freshly painted eg coupe




ended up picking that up as a project.

didnt do much to it. it had a d16y8 swap in it

i bought skunk 2 pro c's

and my other buddy was selling his white rota grids so i bought those






but i got bored of it
didnt have much money to a swap at the time i was only 18 and still in school

so i sold it

called my buddy at 5 AM

told him to give me a ride to pick up another project

after riding in his Euro R i ended up wanting to go Right Hand Drive




and this was the gem






remember when i said i liked the front end conversions on civics lol well yea you guys know i had to do it one more time










well the car sat at my friends house for some time about 6 months really just giving time for my right hand drive clip to come from japan

once i got the call that it arrived it got delivered to my buddies house sorry dont have pics of that

bought two set of wheels
a gold set of traklite drums
and ccw's






test fitted the ccw's








but enough with that started to strip the car to take it to the lab and get the right hand drive clip done

had my buddy helping me thats him in the picture











that was the beginning of it and once it was loaded up

dont have many pics of the conversion
but this was my brother ariel helping to clean the bay and get it ready for paint




the bay after paint










got the car back from my buddies shop

started to resemble









those are most of the pics that i have left
long story short i ended up selling the hatch had a family emergency and it had to be done
sold the ccw
sold the gold wheels to my buddy

but things are different now i will be starting another build soon
another ek hatch
but this time k series on boost
5 lug
jdm interior
etc

but this is bassicaly if i find more pics will upload
thanks for reading guys!
