Ballin' On a Budget: Poe's EK Hatch.

[Poe]

Well, I bought my first car a few days ago. A 1999 Civic DX hatch with 68k miles. It's bone stock, and has only had one owner before me. So, I decided to make a build thread over here. Here's some pictures I took today after I waxed it.

lol, the lyrics are "ball so hard, motherf***ers wanna fine me."

Cleeaaaaann!

 

[Poe]

Finally got a job, so parts will be coming soon.

Car is super clean. Wish I found one like that. May I ask how much u paid for the car?

 

[Poe]

5200. They were asking 5500, but I talked them down to there.

Damn. That is minty. Please don't throw on eBay "Mugen" or "Type R" parts......that would be a shame. Save your money, and invest in OEM or quality aftermarket parts.

Good luck with the build. Building a car with a part time job isn't easy, but if you budget yourself, it can be done.

Mega clean car! Good job on coming up on that! Also, my last name is Poe

In for updates!

That's the cleanest and shinest engine bay I ever did see. I would lower it and call it done.

Wow, going through this thread again makes me realize how little I've done to my car in the almost two years I have owned it. Now that I am in a position to be buying parts, I'll be updating this thread more frequently.

And with that, here's what I bought in the past week.

Kosei K1 15x7 +38 with Dunlop DZ102 205/50/15

This model is one of my favorite Honda cars.

 

[Poe]

Thanks. My car looks great from about 15 feet away haha It needs to have a full polish though.

What's next?

 

[AllStockHatch]

Sweet hatch! Glad you're putting nice parts on it!

 

[Poe]

What's next?

Coilovers are next on the list. After that, LCA and Subframe brace/Sway bar. Future plans are more spoon interior goodies, and hopefully a swap/turbo down the road. Thanks for looking at my car child, I've been following your civic for the past two years. It's been a huge inspiration to me.

Sweet hatch! Glad you're putting nice parts on it!

Thanks man. No fake parts here!
