So i guess ill start off by introducing myself, My name's Nick im 17 and im from Clovis, California. ive been in the game for about 3 and a half years now.
I got this 1994 civic dx hatchback when i was 13. it was bone stock and my dad drove it as a daily for about a year. Then soon bought another car so i could start building this one. The engine that came with it was a d15b7 with the stock airbox and stock exhaust. NOTHING was ever done to this car+zero rust made even better. the only bad thing about it was that the maaco paint job was faded.

Heres a pic of the day i bought it. BONE STOCK!


Since then ive added a lot to it. i Sanded the paint to the original green, spoon sports duckbill, usdm glass headlights w/ jdm yellow bulbs, header back apexi n1 stainless exhaust, aem CAI, sony deck, sony xplod door speakers, 2 12" xplod sub woofers in sealed box(4000 watts), jdm black cargo cover, slammed on tokico blues cut 2 links in front, one in the back, eg Si cluster, jdm armrest, jdm radio relocation(like the ek ones).

sanded the whole car. started with 80 grit then going over it with 120.




painted the steelies and threw some sumitomo htr 200's on them

i started the wire tuck and sanded the fenders.



Before the exhaust was mounted



Si's i picked up about a month ago!

:bang: <br /><br />

why would you sand it with 80? then 120? you cant paint over either one.

i was hoping for more for "3.5 years of being in the game" as I accomplished a lot mroe in 1 year and am already plannign to move on to a better car. but i guess you work w/ what you got?

its an ok start, not feeling cut springs, or the sanding of ur paint. and are those SI knock offs? Either way i think SIs belong on 96-2000 not 92-95

However..I have seen a lot worse. youve got some work to do lol no rust and no prior modding is nice! GLWB

Well I got the car bone stock as I said. I go to school and was not even able to drive when I got it so I was usually busy. But lately have been doing a lot more. I have a lot more coming for this car. And also have more projects on my plate right now. But thanks for the comments guys even if they were bad. No the Sis arnt knock offs. Im cleanin up the center caps. And the steelies are just rollers till I get tires on my Sis.

Thank you sir... and when I got this car, I had my mind into the fast and furious s**t.(ricer) and didn't have it into honda. I was into the loud ass weld on cans and bolt on body kits. Now im digging myself out of the hole I made. BUT thanks man.

Lol we all <3 haters. For ur age it's not bad. So don't let my prior comments get to yu, I was simply saying that for claiming to be in the game for over 3 years I expected more. And +1 for legit Sis a not the rota knock offs. What color will you paint it? Don't forget stuff like engine bay and door jams =)

Cut springs are not a good idea.
Car should look good with the Si rims though, keep it up!
