Default civic 4 door...... timeline....

This is about over a years worth of work.

STOCK



4 months later added grill, intake, strut bar, rimz, and exhaust





3 months after that, added lip, CRV cluster, and ambered climate control






3 months after did a mini me swap. Had to use just the filter for now untill I got a new intake



2 months after I got a new intake and aftermarket spark plug wires

Rest of the body shots...




04/04/03
Painted trunk piece but its alittle off


04/06/03
Painted Clear Tails


Laugh, make nasty comments, say what yah gotta say. I was bored and had nothing else to do.

Not bad. Good call on the Mini-Me swap, that vertical throttle body will get you.

thanks for the thumbs up guys. As far as the mini me. I think it was worth it considering the fact that I did the work with a few friends. If your low and cash and want that little extra kick in the pants then go for it. Otherwise I'd suggest doing a DOHC motor swap.

try to get the vtec hooked up, headers, and maybe turbo. If not, I'm going to do a full B18B swap and maybe go LS/Vtec turbo from there.

Nice 4-door...

Just wondering how is the power with the mini-me?

Noticiable or do you feel slower?

Thanks, it has noticable power but it aint all that. You can still feel alittle kick in the pants and it also sounds alot more aggressive with the Y8 Intake manifold.
