Default civicseth's civic 4 door from the beginning....to now

Bought it in Fall of 2001 before I had my license. It is a 1994 Honda Civic DX Automatic with the stock motor, automatic, etc.

First pictures I have are after lowering it on cheap sleeve coilovers, clear corners, altezza tail lights, and chrome dub caps.





I had finally saved up enough money to get some wheels, and my old tail lights had been leaking like mad, so I upgraded to the generation 3 altezzas.




The beast of a motor: Automatic d15b7




Wrecked and messed up the front fender, so I decided to purchase some metal z-3 style ones, but didn't have the money to paint them, so I primered them white. I also got some one-piece Halo lights:




Finally got the money to paint them:





What the interior looked like at that time:




Switched out the altezzas to some stocker tail lights:




I decided it was time for a lip kit...
test fit:



and paint:







And after paint:







And then my 3A racing muffler rusted off so I drove around for a year w/out a muffler:




During that time, my motor decided to end it's life...




So time for a jdm d15b sohc vtec (still automatic):




Rolled for a year basically the same, but got some new wheels...Rota circuit 8's...





A theif decided to remove my ricey interior, so I took the liberty of changing it to all gray and power options, and getting rid of the automatic shifter in the process:











I then decided it's time for less ricey headlights and fenders, so I picked up some black housing headlights, oem fogs, and added a little bit of jdm flare.










Screw the Type Zero Side skirts! Time for EK's





And new wheels! Drag DR-16





Now it's time for some performance(greddy turbo kit):






And finally, a new spoiler, and fixed a few turbo things:







This has been over 5 years...probably a long time to some, but it's the only car I've ever owned, and I drive it every single day. Might not be much to some, but I <3 it. There's been plenty of things in between the pictures I've posted as well.

No numbers just yet, but I'm guessing around 180whp, 160 wtq.
