Plz dnt teez the SOHC
I have NEVER started my own project like this before. I have helped my pals out with their builds and all that good stuff. But now that I have a job and am doing pretty well at keeping my bills in check, I thought I would finally get serious about my own car. So lemme start off by introducing myself.
My name is Carlos. I loved Civic rice when I was a little kid. I think everyone does when they're kids, what with the Hot Wheels and all that lol. I've been a pretty serious Honda fanatic for about 6 years now. My mechanical knowledge is a little better than moderate but by no means expert. So if you have questions, I will help out as best as I can. Most of everything I know, I have learned by personal hands-on. You will be seeing alot of that here.
The Car: 2000 Civic CX Hatchback. This car has been in the family since 1999 @ 0 miles. It is completely virgin, never had mods of any kind. I bought it this past July with 150K on it for $2,000. Besides a leak at the distributor seal, everything is A+ including the interior. Gotta love family discounts lol
The Game Plan: Something that is fun to drive. A clean ride with about 250 whp. Not too adamant about authenticity unless quality/fitment matters.
Major Plans:
-Type R front lip and rear lip
-Seeker v2 rear wing (suuuper expensive, so any help on locating a REAL one for a good price is greatly appreciated!!)
-Gunmetal housing headlights
-Complete respray. Same color VSM
-Rear disc conversion
-Of course, Engine Swap. Boost is a must!
There are many minor things that will be happening as well but I'm sure you're sick of reading. So please subscribe if ur interested in following this thread because I welcome and encourage ALL input and opinion. Please be respectful of other members and for goodness sake, no stupid sh**. We like for ppl who talk like they know, to actually know what they are talking about. So if ur going to refute something that a senior member has said, back it up with a link or something.
If I start to get lazy about pictures, PLEASE ride me about it. I want people to be inspired by the thread, use it for their own builds, and to have fun watching it! Thanks!!
Pics coming soon, I'm having a hard time with those at the moment.
