Black Magic's baby - Timeline

[Black Magic]

Yeah, my 96 civic is my bitch and I call her Rhonda.

Anyways, I've been on this site for a while and I don't think I've ever posted pics of my ride... mostly because its stock. I've made some decent dough and I'm actually serious about doing some mods I've always wanted. It begins THIS summer for me!

A little bit of history... I bought my car over 5 years ago when I was in high school







No modifications began until 2006.

Summer 2006:


















Summer 2007:




















Summer 2008:






























Summer 2009:





















Hate it or love it, either way I do what I like

This JUST came from the mail man. This must be what Christmas feels like!











12" wilwood brake kit. Don't make it go fast if you can't make it stop!

looks good

get some wheels and ur done

every mod you've done since 2006 i hate. except the coilovers. but like you said....it's your car

[Black Magic]

Yeah, I get that a lot. People don't like the fact that I have a system. I'm not one of those kids who drives around crackin' pavement with bass. I'm just an audiophile. I'm really into sound quality, even at home:



... I know I still have lots of work to get done.

What's the biggest wheel size you can run with that Wilwood kit?

[mymmeryloss]

good audio is worth it, but thats why i have a mini truck and a dodge...
i have that same radio in my mini..
maybe you'll change directions and it will turn out ok.

and make sure to plaster those wilwood stickers on your side windows

what do you mean biggest?

i have the same kit and the smallest wheel size you can run is 17s. anything bigger than that is fine.

[mymmeryloss]

brakes are only good up to a certain weight for stopping power and for certain size rims in order to properly slow the vehicle.
it is always suggested to upgrade brakes with any modification to your vehicle...

im pretty sure thats what he was getting at

[oc_civic]

as much as i do not like your car.. this looks REALLY nicely done..

i dig your monitor. i got the same one haha. i think mine is 20" or 19"

nice hid retrofits man, those are really well done. sound system is a little too obnoxious for me though. Maybe try to hide the speakers and sub?

[Black Magic]

thanks everyone.

I spoke to a wilwood representative and 16" are the smallest wheels you can fit on your car with the kit installed. It also says that on their site. However, I have read somewhere that you will be able to fit 15" on there with wheel spacers. Someone is selling 15" LS mesh rims locally, so I'm gonna buy them and try it out. If they don't fit, I'll just try to sell them or hand em over to my younger bro.

I kind of like the stealth audio installs too, but these speakers are 6.75"... they won't fit into the stock location. I plan on re-doing the trunk this summer because its not very practical this way, (even though I almost never use it).

I think you went a little crazy with the speakers/tweeters but at least the install looks clean. Always do something with professionalism and love and you can't go wrong.

looks good man

Some wheels will set it off.
