Hey all... this is actually my first post.

Is there a noobie / intro thread anywhere here?

Anyway, here is my new project. Stock with the exception of the AEM intake...

Yeah... that was always my favorite Honda color. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it and told myself that someday I would have a Civic that color...

Auto... yeah... sigh... :(

I'm a married 30 something / family guy. My wife let me go and get something I wanted under one condition... it had to be an automatic in case she ever had to drive it for anything. I know... I know... but if she's happy, I'm happy.

If I had my way COMPLETELY, I would have gotten a manual EX, SI or something like that...

The auto's not too bad for me. I am going to soop it up a bit (VTEC head... custom exhaust... possible Dezod turbo kit...), but it's not like I'm meeting the home boys on the strip at 2am on a Saturday morning for some drag racing... :mrgreen:

I am mostly going to focus on the looks. I will get myself lowered 2" (Tein flex coilovers / M.R's / or K.W.'s), then I will get some nice 17" rims (black / chrome combo), fog lights, grille mesh, new head and tail lights, etc...

I will just ACT fast and look goooood... ;)

and i bet she's never going to drive it.

I'm confused, i thought only the D17a2(ex) had the EGR Valve. :what:
and it's funny that it's sitting on ex wheels. which is why im a little confused.

Nice getting EX rims on your LX. Question, was that front end repainted? I ask b/c the fog light fillers shouldn't be body colored.

Also, the lower front grill should be black as well. I hope it wasn't in an accident.

She had to once already...

Sigh...

Hmmmm... It has a D17A1 block (it's stamped on there)...

EGR valve huh? Hmmm,...

I am willing to bet the first buyer had those rims put on...

Weird. Cool though!



As far as the fog light covers, I don't know what to say about that... the paint job is even all over and the vehicle had a clean title.

Like I said, when I checked car fax it had a clean title.

Also, I did not purchase the vehicle from a person, but from a Honda dealership. They sold me the car as a "certified pre-owned vehicle". It came with a nice warranty...


Don't know what else to say...


As far as the EGR valve, I think that's required on all vehicles in Cali now... standard...

unless they made it standard in 2005:what:, i know the 04 and previous didn't have them unless it was the EX.

Anyways, who cares lol just one thing i spotted different about yours.
