Hi there !
I'm the new guy here, representing country called Finland. I've bought my HX few months ago in stock condition. Coupe Civ's are pretty rare in here, I know only few 96-00 coupes inc. mine in Finland. This one is imported from Texas at -99. I first planned to get nice set of rims and like that, but suprise, plans are gettin wilder all the time :P But anyway, here's few pic's of the car when I got it, and what it look like now.


Almost stock, only Supersprint shocks/springs installed.

Waitin for the summer to put those Sprint Vestas under the car. Very rare rims in here :cool:

The last mod was painting those boring black parts few days ago in Vogue Silver. Next step is to install Spoon style carbon mirrors and facelift front end with carbon hood and jdm fogs.

Looks nice man, you should paint match the lip, grille and the sideskirts though.

Thank's guys ! Sidemarker's are cheap led things, cause someone has drilled round holes in fender and oem EK sidemarkers did'nt fit. Taillights are pretty different too, but looks good tho. But anyways, I'm still working on it and I'll update pic's when get something finished =) And grille is silver now, like skirts too. But the frontlip doesn't exist anymore. Crashed it..

i like this car.. something about it, i would get different wheels as I am not one for black with a polished lip. I have always loved blue with a chrome lip on silver coupes. i would get 99-00 tails for it as well. otherwise, something about it i love

Actually I've planned to paint those rimspokes, but let's see. Facelift frontend is one of the biggest plannings right now, with Seibon carbonbonnet and jdm fogs too. I just like the 99-00 front more. The rearlip is incoming part too. It's just so shitty thing to do anything in this weather. Right now my car is layin under 20cm snow...

I think it looks good bro... Very clean, stands out for sure... I say get a new lip =).... The HX Wheels you had looked a bit better if you ask me... The tails I like because they are different but not stupid Altezza's...
Very Clean, I say post a Money shot and a few interior pics!

I agree about the 99-00 front end, I am doing the same with my Silver Civic as well...

Thank's man. Should take some better pics when the snowing stops. And about the tails, oem Si looks better for me, cause if u have coupe Civ in here Finland, u stand out even it would be full stock =) But we'll see, when I have that frontend and new lips installed.

Thanks! What kinda tune up's u have in your Y5 engines ? It's not the laziest one even in stock but offcourse always it could be faster:roll: I have china header, Invidia catback and cai. Skunk2 intakemanifold and cnr adj. camgear are waitin in garage. I've thought too to get new ecu with s300 and better cam, retainers, springs etc. or is it even worth it ? Offcourse B16A would do the trick too.

I rly don't know that. There's lot's of better cars to import taxfree (if this was that kinda situation) But anyways that's good cause I would't have this car now.
