PLEASE MOVE TO APPEARENCES SECTION sorry I put in wrong forum. My fault.
I recently got this car a few months ago.
It has undergone a moderate makeover since I got it.
So far I have done the following

Vogtland Springs
KYB AGX front/rear
Fake CTR Front/rear strut tower brace
HX Wheels GunMetal Gray
Added passenger side mirror (DXs usually dont have them)
Silverstar Bulbs (very bright, white HIGhly recommend them)
European Civic Type R (from Euro EP3)
Custom Front headlights and Corners (black housing)
Ex Guage cluster with tach (WOO HOO!)
Red/amber JDM style bulbs for interior (custom looks amazing)
Skunk 2 Short Shifter
Y8 Intake Manifold


COMING SOON!
MP3/CD player.
Replace stock speakers
Sub/amps
Stock Civic Fog Lights
Mugen Front Lip Install
New Spoon style rear spoiler
New tires (any suggestions....)
Either GSR or Del Sol seats
Custom Turbo

First Pics taken notice the rims, lack of passenger mirror and cracked headlights.
I love the color, so nice. It has dings and dents and some oxidation but some tender love and care will get it looking better than new.

nice 2 start workin on

 

man please dont rice this very nice car out. ive been trying so hard to find a factory captiva blue hatch and it isnt happening. i even offered this local 4500 for an si flawlees body and paint with 175k and he still said no.

 

good project to start off with

 

No Uncle Bens here, this bad boy will be a clean sleeper that I hope to run mid to low 14s in. More pictures coming later today.

Nice base for a project

 

lose the wheels and why mid to low 14's why not mid to low 12's or 13'S?

 

I like it simply because it is CBP.

 

CBP is the best, hands down.

 

The reason mid 14s is because I am a college student with little money, it would love mid 13s but on my budget I do not see that happening.

Here are updated pictures, load time maybe slow but they are worth it.

Front of the car, notice the black housing on my headlights.



Up close shot of the headlight and housing.




My Civic Type R exhaust, it is losely fitted right now, that is why it is sticking out at an odd angle, once I do my swap, it will be properly mounted and aligned.




My new rims, NOW GUNMETAL GRAY


Another shot of my exhaust, so NICE.


The interior is in great shape, nice and clean.


My massive powerplant, he he. Notice the strut tower bace and the KYB AGXs



Up close of the adjustment nut for my KYBs.


Some shots of the suspension, this is the front.


Two shots of the rears.



Yet another of my exhaust.


My oil pressure and water temp Autometers waiting to be installed, they will be installed with the new engine.


My rear strut tower brace. Took me awhile to figure out how to install, once I figured it out it was very simple...duh.


My shift ****, hopefully it doesnt get too warm during the AZ summer...100+ degress OUCH!



My custom JDM style interior guages, sorry for blur but I dont have a tripod that small and on night mode it gets blurry w/o tripod.




The rivals meet as last.


Cool shot notice the Hatch





Phew!! Lots of pictures, more to come once I get more done, enjoy and keep with the comments, it feeds my ego and my ego is hungry for more (he he j/k)

TTT I want some comments

 

I love that color on your hatch...it's pretty rare seeing a hatch with that color around my place. Nice project car.

 

what kind of muffler is that, looks like a gsr or type r

 

Nice and kleen.

 

Its says in description but its a Euro Civic Type R

 

man, you're screwed in the summer with that shift ****. my friend had the same one in his CRX, he had to leave a glove in his car because it got so hot during the summer, and that was in 90-100 degree weather.

 

I like it.

Nice choice on going with suspension first too.

Try a search under "be all end all brakes" under archived topics in the EG+Civic/Del Sol forum. You'll find some killer info on swapping over bigger front brakes and also rear discs too.

 

you need to drop that hatch

 

Looks real good!!

 

The hatch is dropped. Did you not read the modification list? Its not slammed nor should it. 1-1.5 drop is perfect. Enough to enhance performance but not sacrifice drivability.

 

sweet car man. who's helpin you out with the buildup?

 

nice hatch. i like that color

 

nice lil hatch u got goin there..great start!

 

damn thats lookin clean...take good care of that bad boy...captiva blue pearls are so hard to come by

 

You are sucka!!!!!
