Newby with a new car!!!!!

[RKSskier]

Here is my new car got it a few weeks ago, and I am really liking this thing right now. What do you guys think about it. Its a 97 ex, 110xxx, and here are some of the stuff done to it so far:
-Lowered 2 inches, cambered out
-front upper strut bar
-rear lower tie
-cat back (magnaflow)
-Short throw shifter
-black mesh grille, (can't really see in pics, it is pretty subtle but I like it for now) will prob eventually go to a silver mesh one

and I have an intake and a front lower tie on the way, and after that It will be a while before I can do some more stuff to it. Well except for doing some wires and plugs with my next oil change and "tune up"
Next in line will be a rear sway bar, then maybe some headers and a free flowing cat. Ohh also the civic will likely see a lip in the future.

[DDDbusboy]

good start so far man, you might wanna hit up some camber kits tho cuz man you'll be dishing out money to get tires constantly and imo ditch the wheels...and welcome

 

[johno590]

Yeah I don't like the rims either... but its your car so do whatever you want

 

[bmyers4321]

looks pretty good. not feelin the rims but its your car. and are you sure thats a 2" drop cause mine is 1.8 front and 1.5 back and its lower than that.

 

[Rand0m]

a front lip would do wonders for your car....but its a good start....

 

[42Steps]

Somebody with a car on a car forum?.... Nooooooo, couldn't be......



You got a nice start there, keep working on it.... Although I don't really like the rims....

egad!! those rims are s**t. But hey its not my car. Hope you enjoy that d17. I would throw mine in a lake just to watch it sink if I didn't need it to get me to work everyday.

 

[Jezek]

Well tell you what the day I pop the hood and I have a d17 in this car I will throw it in lake.

Ohh and the rims came with the car, there not my #1 choice, but I do like them though.

And when I get a lip, I am wondering how it will look black or painted. I mean if my side skirts were painted too then it would all look really clean, but I think Even the black/grey front lip matching the side skirts might still look good just like that. We will see. And it is does have a camber kit, and the drop could be 1.5 as I did not put it on, and I haven't even been able to check and see what kinda springs are on it right now.

Ohh and the engine runs strong, but the tranny's about to go, the guy I got it from basically was selling it cuz his son got too many tickets in it, so I am quite certain it was driven hard, (at least the 5k he had the car)

Anyways I really like it, and it is fun to drive, nothing special in a straight line, but this thing is pretty impresive on windy roads

 

[buff4lo]

neat

 

[Partizan]

You do realize that the D17 and the D16 are VERY similar, right?

 

[RKSskier]

Except for the size difference, there very similar, right down to the output even, and I imagine they would feel the same, I was just pointing out he had the wrong motor in mind.

nice car bro, get a lip on there and it'll do wonders. you should drop it a lil more.
