98 EK from Canada (Slow Build Journal)

Hi, I have a 98 Civic Cx that I am slowly building. I want to have a car I can do some Auto-x with and still be a daily 2nd car.

Here is the earliest pic I have. The front bumper was trashed so I put on a 99-00 front with 99-00 tailights on it.








Then I got a Mugen grille and blacked out headlights and ricey CF wrapped fenders for free.





Picked these up. 15x7 ET +35. Going to paint them over the winter and get a 1.5-1.8'' drop.



Getting this front end swapped tomorrow as well as 98 HB tailights to make the car a little less ricey.



From there the mods I have planned. Struts and shocks, maybe Tokico or Koni STR with 1.5-1.8 lowering springs and 195/55/15 rubber on the wheels once they're painted. Oh and probably paint the car in Hot rod flat black or all Clover green pearl. A tasteful lip on the front as well as a cluster with RPM (CRV or EX). That's it for now.
