I bought this civic needing a little tlc, the hood looked like someone had tried to clear coat it with a crayon, it had faded, crappy red pen-striping. And of course a couple of maintenance items: air filter, man. trans. and radiator flush, two solenoid gaskets(15825-p2m-005 and 36172-p08-015) and more little, misc. stuff I can't remember.
Since I have bought the car last year I fixed the hood in the first week with some rubbing compound. Removed the pen-striping, refinished the headlights, added:
foglights
HIDs 8500K 55w
modified cold air intake
installed Tokico Illumina R shocks and coilovers
due to the frozen bolts, cut off lower control arms and installed new alluminum ones
rear sway bar from 95 Integra
Ikon 17inch wheels wrapped with HHR Fuzion 205 40 R17 85H tires
Exhaust is coming soon
also have a competition built 12" Digital Design sub powered by a Planet Audio 1250.1 mono block
and replaced rear deck and front doors speakers with components.
All-in-all I really like this car, always wanted one since I was 16 and now I've got one and just want to take things slow and clean so its not just some other shitted up ricer Honda 'some kid' got a hold of. I would like to do a turbo'd B16 or B18 swap after college, but that’s at least a year away.
