hey guys, ive been lurking this site forever, even bought a license plate frame before i even registered! haha. anyways, here is my car.

1997 honda civic DX that i bough all stock 2 years ago with 150k on it.
last december my d16y7 decided it wanted to throw a rod, so i sourced a d16y8 for FREE! threw that in and ive been rolling ever since. this car is more sentimental to me than anything, so i doubt i will get rid of it before it gets rid of me. plans are gsr turbo(build thread for that will come once i source some more parts.) short term i plan to finish my suspension and get some new wheels, again haha.

engine:
d16y8
intake/header/test pipe/skunk2 exhaust
skunk2 intake manifold
battery in trunk
mild wire tuck
FULL a/c delete(yes even in dash)
no power steering(manual steering rack)
powdercoated valve cover

exterior:
"jdm yo" fogs
black housing headlights
6k hids
mugen style front lip
type r style rear lip
oem mudflaps scraped down to nothing
antenna block off
99-00 si taillights
gay trendy roof rack(functional for my bmx and fixie)

interior:
del sol front seats
ex rear seats(dark grey)
pioneer radio
alpine speakers all around
skunk2 weighted knob/b&m short shifter
type r boot
wink mirror
sticker bombed headliner

suspension/wheels:
function&form type1 coilovers
blox lcas
front and rear strut bars
front and rear camber kits
ls meshies painted bronze(hate the color, recently traded wheels)
hankook ventus v2 tires FRESH
black "tuner lugs"

im sure i have forgotten things, just a quick rundown.

There's something about a slammed ek with a roof rack that gets me going.
