Default My 98 Coupe *UKDM*

Hey, im in the UK (so its not that special). Its totally stock at the moment (except for a short ram induction kit i fitted last weekend), the wheels and spoiler came from the factory like that, so tell me what you think!

(sorry about the bad photos)






Feel free to flame me if it makes you feel any better in yourselves!!

Well, fitted the air intake, so next is wheels and suspension, and then drivers side side-exit exhaust (got a nice quote). And then the usual engine stuff, (i.m, e.m)

But thats all when i get some £££!!

Ive always wanted a side-exit since i was a little kid, and ive never seen a Japanese car in England with one! It wont be a ricey thing, itll be a subtle 2.25" single pipe emerging from just before the drivers side rear wheel.

hey who gives a ****.. If you want side exhuast, do that ****... as long as you keep the rest of the car clean it should look good... car is hot though RHD always sets you apart from the rest but then again where you live maybe not. Thas wierd that the del sol rims come on civics in the UK .... you UK people always do wierd things to your cars... and i think its interesting... F JDM ... so played out anyways.... have fun looks like a fun project

Thanks GSR-T, i plan to keep the car clean and simple. If i ever did get a kit for it (which i probably wont), it would be the C-West one, but im thinking of jus getting a nice lip. My car was a special edition just before the Si came out, so they slapped some extra stuff on it (rims(14s ) and spoiler)

Thanks for the comments so far!

eh... could be ok i guess, keep us posted if u get it. didn't mean to jump your ****, just dont want to see another person become a ricer. your idea sounds unique and may very well look good when finished properly.
