hey, i'm new here, but i've been a member of clubintegra for about 4 years or so. anyway, i used to own a 90 civic hatchback with a DOHC ZC swap, but sold it. i liked that car, but it had too many problems and all. no pics of it, it wasn't exactly in the best shape, and at the time i owned it (early 02) i didn't have a camera lol.

anywho, onto my current ride that i've had since april of 03.
its been a slow process, money has been tight, and still is, but it has come a LOOOOOOOONG way since i bought it.

some OOOOOLD pics, taken with my friends camera phone, so the pics suck ass.
at this point, i'd had the car for 2 years, just finished paying it off.

BONE STOCK except intake and carbon fiber hood:



two months after those pics, i bought some rims:

**EWW, look at that wheel gap, that just HAD TO GO NEXT***
5Zigen FN01R-C wheels 16x7 wrapped in 205/45-16 Toyo Proxes 4 tires.

a tad bit of ricer phase (these lights lasted 3 weeks)

replaced with these (cleared out 90 spec tail lights *pink lines removed from top half of tails*)


FINALLY LOWERED!!!!


now onto sime high res pics:
"money shot"

LAST SUMMER:

**painted corner lenses amber, i saw it on enough eg hatches to know that i liked the look at the time**
and how i sit now:

**removed foglights that i mounted on the bumper and am now rocking a gorgeous set of JDM 1pc headlights*

my interior:

and a much more recent engine bay pic

*tucked/removed a couple things, added a cold air extension on my intake, painted it black etc.*

coming VEEEERY SOON...
JDM B18C (SiR-G spec, not Type-R, i can't swing THAT kind of bling lol)

yeah, its been paid off since 05, but since then i had gotten married, and now have a little girl. so money is rather tight. i'm getting a wings west rear bumper cover (mugen replica) wings west RS side skirts and carbon fiber JDP Engineering front lip to compliment the exterior. a ViS carbon hatch with FAL lexan rear window will be added as well.

thanks for the compliments, i'm gonna be buying my GSR swap from JDM Online (a sponsor of this site) i can't wait to get that motor. am going to be installing a set of TODA Spec B cams with Skunk2 cam gears, a Skunk2 intake manifold, and a set of RS Machines' oem Type-R pistons to give the motor a little more grunt. a quality tune with a hondata S300 will follow immediately after the swap. might go with a Toda header, RS*R exmag exhaust and that will more than likely be it for my teg. when the swap is done, i'm doing a full wire tuck/shaved bay. my goal is to get the car in a magazine again (was in honda tuning in august of 06, nothing special, just "Grassroots" section. but the art director for the mag at the time told me to keep in touch with the guys at HondaTuning, and when the car is all done, they might get one of their photographers that is in my general area to shoot some pics for a feature.

i was thinking of doing a RHD conversion as well, but thats gonna take far too much time and effort that i just can't give at this time with a 6 week old daughter. maybe in 5-10 years ;)

thanks, there is no need for LS/VTEC for me. i've got a JDM B18C (Sir-G) coming soon. costing me some grip, but i'm looking forward to it. thanks for all the comments. i just recently put my rims back on, first time i had a chance to look at the car with the rims and JDM 1pcs.

oh yeah, i'm ordering a set of brand new JDM sidemarkers soon for like $35 ;)
thanks for ALL the comments guys, means a lot to me.
