Just registered here because nobodies posting on civicforums.com
I just bought a 99 Civic SI.
It was originally Milano Red but the owner painted it Tango Red Pearl because he felt it would be more "elegant."
I don't like either colors myself, but it was a sweet deal. 102,000 miles on the clock, stock SI alloys, b16a2 engine, clean title, and no modifications done whatsoever.
I got it for $6700.
The modifications I have planned:
1.) H&R Sport or Race Lowering Springs: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/H-R-S...Q5fAccessories
2.) Mugen front lip, Type R rear lip, and Type R grill: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-00...Q5fAccessories
3.) OEM style wing (It currently has the 96-98 low wing): http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-00-Honda-Civic-SI-2-dr-OEM-Style-Spoiler-Wing-PRIMER-/180691693944?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &fits=Year%3A1999|Model%3ACivic|Submodel%3ASi&hash =item2a12107178
Then I want to paint the whole thing Flamenco Black Pearl. I don't plan on changing the rims out.
Any input on other appearance mods? I also want a catback, not sure which one, looking for something under $300.
Lemme know if you guys want more pics and of what.
It's my DD and I don't want it to be too low but I hate looking at that gap. I don't know much about tuning but I'm looking to get into it. My buddy has a 99 LS Integra and it sits super low on skunk2 coils, a finger doesn't even go all the way inside the fender gap and tire, he also has a ITR lip and it rarely ever rubs. I think he has a +2.5 inch drop on the front and back.
The H&R Sports will drop me 1.75 in the front and 1.5 in the rear and the H&R Race springs will drop me 2.5 in the front and 2.3 in the rear. Which do you guys recommend? I live in the Bay Area and we have decent roads and it never snows.
I also want to install a urethane mugen replica lip and I don't want any rubbing with that. I'm leaning towards the H&R race springs, don't have the $$$ for coilovers.
Here's some pics of my car
