She came in to my life three weeks ago...


Here's everything that I've put in to her so far:

1992 Honda Civic Si Shell
Captiva Blue Pearl Paintjob
Amber Corners
OEM Front Bumper
Bumper Supports
B16a2 Motor/Tranny
97 GSR Engine Harness
P28 Chipped ECU
Various OEM Mounts
99 Si Shift Linkage
EG Radiator/Fan
99 Si Throttle Cable
Charcoal Canister
Stock Muffler
Cheap Intake (just to get by)
Eibach Sportlines
GSR Blades

More pics to come as each part is added. Tell me whatcha think. Enjoy!

Three-tone paintjob.

Ridiculously loud..

Time for the body work

The transplant

Horrible seat. I almost ended up in the back hatch while test driving.

Prepping for the paintjob

The morning after..

Going back to the stock muffler.

Somehow I got lucky and got my hands on some blades.

Thanks to my pops and bros for the help.

I like the colour... , what is it? And It looks like the car was riced out before

might want to work on that rear panel/wheel well some more. Not really smoothed out.

Looks good regardless

Captiva Blue Pearl, it's similar to the Si blue. It took some work to bring it back to stock.

Lol. That was one of the first things I noticed after the paintjob. It's such a hassle to redo now.

nice!!! must have been a lot of work. how long did the whole process take??

3 Weeks time. About 6 hours a day everyday. Now my biggest fear is someone stealing my car.


Thanks everyone. Keep the comments coming. I need some ideas on what else I should do cosmetically.
