I was embarrassed to put this car up at first, but I guess that's the point of this section of the site. I used to drive a silver 2001 DX Coupe that was absolutely perfect in my eyes (could have used A/C but I was happy). Late last year me, my friends and my girlfriend crammed into it and embarked on the 30 minute journey to Jack In The Box (we were drunk, except for the designated driver, and they had the Really Big Chicken Sandwich Deal going on at the time).
Long story short, 20 year old drunk driver swerves sideways around the corner into our lane, we t-bone her, everybody in the back of my car suffers injuries, including the right side of my forehead being peeled back, leaving me with a 7-inch scar that runs across my face. The Civic -- totaled (by a Scion tC nonetheless).
My family cleans up my 1996 Ford Explorer XLT, that I had before the Civic, for my birthday. About 2 weeks later I trade it for THIS. I suppose I came out ahead on that transaction. And now for pics...
Need rims. I think I'm going to change out the coil overs (stock ones right now) and raise it a little bit then put some 15's on it. Not sure if I could pull that off right now without the tires rubbing.
I just recently bought some stock sideskirts for it.
The interior's so ugly =(... One day it'll be NICE
Don't listen to this picture, it's not vtec-e. The guy I got the car from said it was, but it's actually all D16Y8, with a vtec-e valve cover.
So there it is. Here's a list of things I need/want so far:
Coilovers, lift the car just a tad so I don't bottom out all over the place.
Some wheels
Carpet needs to be tucked in, might get new carpeting altogether...
I'd like stock front and back seats, and the back seats aren't even bolted on and have some gap between the part you sit on and the part your back lays against.
Working dome light =(
Numerous plastics in the back, plus the stock floor that covers the spare tire, dude before me just put some particle board back there. Doesn't look awful but I want the majority of this thing STOCK.
New bumper as of 4/18/11, when I ran down my good friend Percy the Possum at speeds in excess of 95 MPH (just before the off-ramp, FML). Will also need a new splash guard after that incident.
Stock valve cover... OR a different valve cover that says vtec instead of vtec-e
Needs a tune-up as it has a rough cold start and ~400 rpm idle...
Need to figure out how to get the antenna working, I'm tired of listening to the two stations that are close enough for me to pick up.
Door panel inserts where the handle and the lock are. The interior pic shows what I mean.
I need to fix some issues with the shifter. it's loose as all hell when in gear, and has an unbearable rattle noise. From what I researched it shouldn't be too difficult, but we'll see.
Oh, and a PAINT JOB... it's original color was WHITE and you can tell in some spots... I'll probably do that myself because I don't want to spend too much on something like that...
Share your opinions and suggestions, I might even use some

if you want your integra back seats to sit proper you need the 4 door rears not the 2 door IF i am recalling correctly. one of the hatch boys can tell you better.
