Well fellas, I’m back in action. If you aren’t familiar with what happened, take a look at my last build thread. [http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=219943]

After being down and out for about a month and hitting rock bottom, emotionally and mentally, things have turned around for the best.

I just got my newest, and hopefully last, car: a 2009 Civic Si Sedan. The color is Galaxy Grey Metallic, its stock and it has 48k miles. Got it for 14.5 because it needs slight cosmetic problems fixed. But other than that, its amazing! The hour drive from the dealer was WAY more fun than expected.

Onto the pictures.

Dealer pics








Back home and sitting pretty









And here are the problem areas. The first is minor paint chips and peeling on the top of the rear bumper and the other is the caulk used to seal the weather stripping is s***ty. Needs to be redone.




Plans are moderate. I plan on having this car well into my 30’s. No need to go fast or boost.

-Mugen Front Lip
-USDM Mugen RR front bumper
-Mugen RR Rear bumper
-Mugen Side Skirts
-Carbon wrap rear trim
-OEM FA5 rear spoiler
-OEM Rainguards
-OEM Integra Type-R (DC5) rims
*17x7 +60
*Silver finish
*20mm spacers
-225/45zr17 Yokohama Avid
-Function & Form Type 2 Coilovers
-Custom Vibrant Exhaust with Flat Black muffler
-GPRAuto Ball Shift Knob

If feels so good to be back in the game. I just want to take some time and thank everyone who contacted me outside of the forum to help me get through some tough times. I really do appreciate it guys.

ONTO THE NEXT ADVENTURE!!

It's fun knowing things before everyone else haha. Glad you got what you wanted man. I wish I could afford a car from a dealer. I would have my evo. Lol. And I think em1's are a curse for you haha.

Got totaled. I couldn't part it out because of time constraints so it was sold to salvage.

Awh, I'm specials. And yeah, the em1 should definitely just be a weekender or project car for you while you have a daily. That way, if it does break, you're not screwed. Plus, then you can build racecar haha

Got my recent purchase in today. GPRAuto shift knob. I wasn't a fan of the half-leather OEM knob because of my hands getting sweaty. (It happens more than you think....don't judge me)

Before



Comparison



New



This might be the only mod for a while. Need to start paying the car off and what not. The only big goal for now, is to be able to save up and buy my coilovers for Summer IA. I'm really hoping I can get them by then.

For now, I'm just going to be a picture whore.



Myself and my buddie's newly turboed EG hatch.

But my favorite pic I've taken so far



That's all and thanks for viewing.

Good stuff. It's nice having a new car that you can upgrade instead of repair and upgrade lol. :thumbs up

Gave her her first bath today!!! yay!









That's all for now. OH! And I've decided to make the switch to Buddy Club N+ coilovers instead of the F&F.
