2000 cx hatchback

[Kurtbreton]

so figured it was time to start a build thread of my own, this is my first car, always wanted to build one so i started looking for the cleanest one within my budget.. a year ago.. found her in june of this year and being in college now haven't had allot of money to spend on her, but lots of love so its slow going.. but BIG plans for her and they will be up on this thread. please no haters!! no one cares what you have to say anyways.

so here she is when i bought her

rims didnt look very good and i didnt have allot of money.. so i improvised with them
before

decided to sand blast them then primer and paint

after

not sure if you can see either but thats a clubcivic.com decal on both the rear side windows

more pics coming soon!

just decided to do a little gutting for now, opened my eyes up to a problem though, tail was leaking resulting in a lake where my spare tire was to give her a little rust, now need to figure out how to paint it/where to

 

[civic98ek]

very nice. great buy too very clean and very stock. lookin good so far. what are your plans?

 

[IACivicSi]

Sell me the hatch, I need a toy haha.

 

[Kurtbreton]

haha no way man! and im planning on swapping in a b18c5 or c1, leaning more towards the itr engine and tranny though, and i want it n/a. for now. but before that do all my suspension like skunk2 pro s coilovers, lcr, te37s wrapped in proxes tr1's with slotted rotors at the front and probably just 99si rear brakes for now(until i can get spoon) ,spoon or skunk2 tower strut bars, c-pilar, pretty much all the goodies to make it stick to road and strengthen the chassis

getting a little further with the interior gutting

 

[shawnjohn42]

Why remove the interior? Keep the interior but maybe you are building it for the track?

 

[Kurtbreton]

Because its less weight=faster, and yes I want to run this on the track, but it's also my daily aswell

 

[Jlpz88]

good start! GLWB bro looking foward to see how she turns out!

 

[Kurtbreton]

Thanks, im in the process of re wiring the back now then going in for some paint just on the inside, pics will be up soon!

 

[emerican]

If your planning on swapping it i wouldnt put any more money into that motor

 

[Kurtbreton]
