[NoWayBack91Si]

Updated as of 9/11/2009...but there are pics on pretty much on every page

Welp I finally picked up a new project (since I sold my 91 Si)...1999 Civic Ex Coupe *Black*. The car is in great shape with 107,XXX miles on the body. No rust anywhere and it was painted only 6 months ago..Flamenco Black Pearl...looks very fresh. Im very happy with it, although I do miss my hatch...

Most of you probably remember my old hatch but here's a refresher pic...





Now my new coupe...






Let me know what you guys think..i have lots of plans so there will be more info and pics to come.

Yea, i agree. Well the week I bought it, I swapped in a jdm b18c w/ type R ecu. As of now it has intake, 4-1 header, and exhaust. I havent decided what else Im going to do motor wise. As much as I would love to boost it, I think Im just gonna do some fuel upgrades, cams, and cam gears..not positive yet tho

Does look like a good solid car...

Thanks!!

[Genuine Rolla]

you have a relatively clean slate to work off of. I'd prolly get some OEM headlights and DIY gunmetal housing and things like that...

yea i was happy to find such a clean coupe. as for the headlights, thats exactly what i was planning on doing. I do already have black housing headlights on there as you can see in the pic, but they are a little old and one of them fogs up. but i was also thinking about just like crystal clear/ chrome CTR style heads..what you think?

looking good man. Motor shots?

[NoWayBack91Si]

welp guys i finally have an update on my coupe...got rid of the mis-matching wheels and picked up some bronze OEM HX wheels thanks to *enycesam*

heres a few pics i tried to get in..it was cold as s**t out and kinda bright sky so the pics didnt come out, but hopefully a nice day will come and ill get some good clean shots. let me know what ya think..







Planning on adjusting my coilovers a bit to lower it a little more since there use to be big ass 18s on the front. theres a little bit of wheel gap

 

[Genuine Rolla]

not bad...!

 

[enycesam]

SEXYYYY, Haha. Finally, some pictures of the HXs. Looking good bro. What's next on the list?
