Not bad, just get OEM lights and different rims. Looks like a good basis for a project though, good luck!

motor wasn't blow when i picked it up.....it wasn't in good shape at all though. I was gonna rebuild it, but it blew in less than a week at 40 mph. I was expecting to fix it all anyway, so i wasn't sweatin' it. It was a pretty good deal, plus i didnt want payments on another car. Just came out of a 05 DC5 type S.

I knew it as soon as i checked out the car before buying it. Then i took it to my mechanic for confirmation . I didnt have the money to fix it and build it then, so i drove it the way it was.

Hey Child, what service were you in? If I remember correctly you were in the military. What happend to the coupe?
yeah I was in the Air Force. I got out in '05. Did my time and im done. I miss the money, but could care less for everything else. My 99 coupe actually got repossessed after i got out. Life was a lil rough at first.

The potential and the price is what made me buy the car =) And thats basically what im looking to do to the car. Interior is great too, carpet is just a lil messed up. I'm kinda spoiled now from my old civic and the rsx-s' so i guess thats why the lil things bother me with this car.

oh yeah, still got them Takatas too =) I couldn't let em go. I wont put em in until I have a race seat though

well the car has sat like this for quite awhile after driving home one night and leaking all my oil killing my LS engine. Started to neglect it after while and nearly gave up on it, but its about time to spend some money again. Car is at the shop finally awaiting a B16A from hmotorsonline so in a week or two ill actually get back to modding.
