[Currently on a very tight budget so this will be a very slow build, also no plans for the engine]
So i bought my first car about 3 weeks ago, its a 98 Honda civic ex coupe the guy i bought it from was on the line between rice and stock kinda. anyway it has a 2000 civic front end, egay si grill the wheels on it are supposedly koni's but i really don't know im getting rid of them.
i bought the car for 1800$ it has 150,000 miles it was an automatic converted to 5 speed the guy didnt take care of it has ghetto rigged parts it was dirty everywhere w/e. so along with the car the guy had some pretty good shape si rims so i bought those for 200$ they have just a small amount of curb rash but overall good condition the tires are bad though one of them was even blown out.
Car has i/h/e probably all cheap parts
THINGS I NEED TO FIX
Radiator leak (need new radiator)
Tons of things wrong with auto to manual trans conversion No Vtec
Really bad motor and or tranny mount (i have a bad feeling that its a mount problem with the manual tranny being swaped into an auto)
Front right shock is messed up
needs new tires and alignment
02 sensors cut off (and im past inspection by a few months)
missing bolt from where the headers connect to the cat Fixed
Has H.i.ds but they are terrible like you cant see s*** at night and the aftermarket headlights are terrible aswell
My plans
Get car painted - DONE
New tires and get the si rims on -
Needs Drop - looking to get tein s techs all i can afford atm
Front lip -
Fog lights - NEED SUGGESTIONS
New headlights - will probably get ebay ones and re-seal them
Better HIDS or stock bulbs
Tow hooks -
Replace Cai with Short ram -
Sell it and get Clean ek hatch -
Thats all i can think of, i dont have any plans for the motor because i just want to fix up the car and sell if after a little while.
(Sorry i'm newish to forums don't know how to format posts)
PICS
so many things wrong with the car its a huge money pit. i regret buying it alot. RANT RANT RANT lol Fml
