hey guys hows it going? I figure its about time I start one of these. Its a 2000 civic si. has 160K on it now. stock b16a2. i bought the car in sept 2012. It came with a no name intake and cd deck player. I used to own a white 98 ex until it got hit by an old lady. and now I own this, lets start.

when i first got it

I didnt want the housing to be black so i decided to paint it silver

I didn't like how the housing came out, it was too light for me, I wanted a darker silver more like a gun metal color. so i went to walmart and found a gun metal rustoleum can n used that to respray. (sorry no pic)

After this I really hated the air filter so I had to buy a K&N filter and installed right away. (no pic)

I really did not like how visible my windows were so i talk to a few friends and they pointed me in the right direction. next thing ya know I got my windows tinted for $200

Next the car had a check engine light when i bought it for a O2 sensor (no surprise) so next purchase was a O2 sensor. no pic of install just the box

Shortly after installing the sensor i lost my job :( so i didnt do much to the car but drove here and there. i did put on the si badge on the grill and removed the honda sign.

I bought a Razo mirror, these things are awesome. I recommend it.

Tune up before coilovers? Glad you're considering maintenance is your first priority!
