My Introduction Thread

New Member
Hey, guys. I'm pretty new to the site. I joined a month or so ago and I lurked it for research purposes and seeing the quality of member's rides and advice for another month or two before joining, but I never did one of these introduction threads, so I figured, "Yeah, why not?"
I picked up a '96 EX Coupe about a month and a half ago that I'll be working on as a project and my daily driver. Yes, the progress will come with pictures. I know what I want to do with the car and you guys will watch it all happen as time goes on.
So that's it, I guess I'm finally a member, right?

:welcome:

Well technically you're a member once you register ;). This section is just used to introduce yourself should you feel that you want to!

You can always start a build thread early. Post pics of your car stock, plans, etc.

I planned on starting a build thread after I fixed all the stupid little stuff. Window regulator, blown fuses, a burned out turn signal bulb, broken wheel stud, you know, stupid little things that are expected to come with fifteen years of prior use. Hahaha.

This is the day I got it. Bone stock. It's the cleanest slate I've ever seen where I live, people out here wreck Civvies beyond recognition and mod them to retarded extents leaving you such little room to work with.

As far as exterior goes, I came up on some Si wheels I already put on. I want some Stanley side markers and 50/50 tail lights. I already ordered some OEM mud guards. I wanna go the SiR route. It needs a drop, but it's not gonna be a scraper. For the interior I'm looking for a clean Si shell and do a swap, or I might just dye it but I'm not too sure about the longevity of it. I don't plan on doing too much under the hood for now because I plan on at least swapping in a B18 and I don't wanna put money into my D16 for it to go to nothing. First thing I'm gonna work on is suspension. Coilovers, struts, rear disc conversion, you know, the basics.

Sounds good ^5 , except i would work on the suspension after you swap the engine in because the b18 is a little heavier, while the stock d16 is 248 lbs, and it won;t be much of a problem in terms of suspension but to some it really makes that difference.

Good to know. However, the B swap is later on down the road. I work in a coffee shop, have bills, and am about to pay for college this upcoming semester, so I don't exactly have the money I want to drop right into my engine, hahaha. Other mods that will no doubtedly help my car get closer to the vision I have for it will be easier to pay for now. Granted, I'm good at the saving game.
