Hey guys, as we all know winter is basically here so it’s time for everyone to start building up their cars and that’s my plan. My car is a 1998 Civic HX and I plan on it being my daily. When I bought it from my brother it already had a couple of nice mods
-fresh Milano Red paint-job
-Autopage 2 way alarm system
- CTR style front grille paint matched
- Front mugen style lip paint matched
- Rear EM1 lip paint matched
-Smoked HID Headlights and taillights (Done correctly)
- 99’ EM1 B16 swap
- EM1 front seats
- Skunk2 ProS2 Coilovers
-Roof and door visors
-Function7 LCAs
-Comptech OG subframe brace
-Megan racing front strut tower bar
-Aftermarket Sony Radio
- Pioneer speakers
-Optima Yellow Top
This is how I received the car:


Magnet for ***** and giggles


Me and my brother negotiated on a lower price if he got to keep his JNC wheels which I didn’t mind so I threw my extra black Drag DR33 set on there for the mean time.

First “mod” I did was replace the dome light build with a LED one as it was all dim. 😂
I went to go get plates for it the next day and went to go get some Si wheels for 160 the next week.
I also purchased some mint red stripe delSol seats for it but didn’t want to butcher my EM1 seats for their rails and didn’t want to mess with the seats. I sold them for 100 bucks.

The car drives great and doesn’t have any issues. Everything was basically in perfect mechanical condition so I decided just to try to clean up the engine bay. Not too successful on the shock towers, I need to pick up some brushes.


I ended up trading my Si wheels plus a replica Si lip for these Drag DR46 in gold and sold my black Drag DR33s. The DR46 had good Hankook Ventus HR2 on them.

Whoever repainted my car decided to spray the grille sections red too, so I took care of that with some flat black Rustoleum. Looks good 👍🏻


I bought some some red H emblems off fleebay and some 8th gen Si badges (I like the style better) and installed them.

I really wanted a Mugen style spoiler for my car but I wasn’t ready for the commitment of drilling holes in my freshly painted trunk. I saw this M3 style lip spoiler in Milano red and liked it. It came about a week later and I slapped it on.

I bought some new pioneer speakers from wally word for the doors because they didn’t sound the greatest. The new units definitely made a nice difference, I also noticed the rears weren’t wired up at all so I took the time to wire them up.
Sidenote: I really just wanna go all out on this car, I sold my high school project 96’ Hatch which I did a lot of work on to buy this thing. My brother had a Milano Red EK back in the day that was GSR swapped.
