The start of my new Civic

[partsguy247]

So about six weeks ago I bought a 97 Civic ex auto with a bad motor for cheap. So far I have the old motor out and got a B16a2 from h-motors (yes those guys rock) Exedy clutch and Fidanza flywheel. I got the front Tien coilovers and new rotors and some ADR rims on now. I will post more photos later.

Get rid of the mesh on the grille and take off the spoiler, it will look a lot better.

 

[Genuine Rolla]

Not too shabby man...it has TONS of potential..!

 

[partsguy247]

Just got done putting on the AEM pullies on the new B16a.

To bad the engine is not in the car yet.

 

[HiPWR Racing]

didddddd u droppppppppp ittttttt

 

[boosted-cx]

how much did you spend on your b16 motor?

 

[PICKLED]

Ok this is what you have to do: drop, black out headlights, remove spoiler, add SiR lip, Si grille, color-match everything, side-markers, some type of OEM wheels, and 99-00 tails. Then you'll blend in nicely

good luck with everrything brah!

 

[knuckk]

good luck but drop it take off them rims spoiler n mesh grill and it would look clean alreadyy

So I took off the ugly mesh grill, and the rest of the bumper.

I also dropped it only to raise it back up so I could get it on the car dolly which is why the front bumper is off.

We were trying to push it on to the dolly and hit the front bumper because of the drop. So I thought I will just take the bumper off, still to low. So I had to the suspension apart (because I dont have the key to lower or rasise it) raise it put the suspension back on to stock hight then it went on the dolly.

As of right now I have a
$1900 96 Civic EX
$3000 b16a and trans w/goodies
$700 rims and tires
$950 Tein suspension

Cost of building my own car PRICELESS?
