my first car has been this 1996 honda civic dx automatic that i bought in 05 of oct. car already had a 2000 front clip and tail lights, stock motor that looked like poop
here some pics when i first picked it up
the seller sold me the car for 2500 also included those ugly ass rims that you see in the trunk but hey i still put them on the car
i moved down to florida so i was stuck with alot of moving situation, didnt pay much attention to my car so pretty much it stay how it looks for a while
one day i lend the car to my sister and she wrecked it, i thought that i was gonna have to junk my car
my grandfather said that the car was still in good works which is hard to believe by seeing the pics above but he told me to find a front clip and he would do the rest
so i went down to miami and i found a 2000 front clip from a hatchback
my grandfather got to work and had alot of aligning to do and did all the work in my back garage
he welded the new radiator support
we used the plenty strong palm trees that are on my yard to align the frame sounds ghetto but it worked
now that everything was straighten out everything was put on and painted
piece of s**t
painted the headlights to black housing
after 4 months of hard work fom my grandpa it was all done, well his part was done it was my job to get my ek looking real nice
i did a lil work under the hood but it really didnt do much since the car is automatic, it sucked but from the time that i bought this car is didnt know how to drive stick shift
i bought a type r lip and got rid of those ugly ass m3 mirrors and replaced them with the stock ones
the car needed a serious drop, so i got the neuspeed racing springs
the bolts on the back control arms didnt wanna come loose unless i heated the bolts to break them but then that means the bushings would melt
so i ordered gold skunk2 control arms that came with the bushings and bolts
i bought the gt-3 rims and yellow foglights to make my car look better then it did before
my 8000k H.I.D kit cam in and also i ordered honda center caps for the rims
now my car is exactly the way i wanted it to look but not the way i want it to run i wanted something that looks cool but also somewhat quick
so i did the biggest change this car will ever have i wanted to convert it to stick shift plus get a new heart for it so i decided to good with something cheap but still has ok power the B18 LS motor
so back to my garage, i took of the rims because i didnt want them to get messed up in the process of all this
the new S series :smt001
my new motor a 1998 acura integra ls with 103,xxx miles
i got riped off from zerolift, i was told i was getting a 01 ls with low miles
but i stayed with the motor and rebuilt the head just to be safe
it came eveything though shift linkage, axels, ecu, tranny
now it was time to get busy from converting the car to 4 spd auto to 5 spd
it took about a a week to finish the process because we didnt work on it all day everyday
everything came out good car runs great future plan is to get a jumper harness to make it run with OBD1 ecu so it cn run greater and smoother plus to get rid of some check engine light codes
the paint job on the car is f**ked up again so its getting re-painted
also i bought a new full greddy exhaust the street performance 2
heres a quick video of my car running up my block with the new motor and exhaust
