Car looks sweet, but it looks like its missing something, I don't know maybe tint, or a front lip, maybe both, I'm sure whatever you do to it, it will just get better.
yeah i really need a lip....was about to buy one....but bought a new cell phone instead haha 
Got bored....temps dropped outside....A/C got yanked

Clean. You plan on putting it back on come summer time?
And dude, why don't you get a cold air or ram air intake. That bay would be extra clean if you pulled that stock air box out! I assume you know this, and refuse for some reason I will disagree with. But c'mon bro. DO IT!

ah i cant decide if i want to rip the ac out or not! im really trying not to. so since you can clear the speed bump pretty easy, go lower?

Damn thts one of the cleanest civics ive ever seen, NICE WORk, any plans for brakes?
How does the car feel now? Did the coupe have power steering?yeah i really need a lip....was about to buy one....but bought a new cell phone instead haha

It wont be going back in, if things keep going like they are, i'll be on the k swap and i dont plan on running A/C or P/S. I've been thinking about a few bits here and there for the sohc, just a header, intake manifold, throttle body and air intake since i'll be keeping the motor after the swap.
205/50/15 They are a bit meaty, and i may go with another set. Im still debating
I hardly use a/c even when its hot and my last few cars didnt have a/c so im used to it. As far as going lower, i probably wont because its decently low and corners great. Im sure i'll lose some driveability (cornering wise) if i go lower.ah i cant decide if i want to rip the ac out or not! im really trying not to. so since you can clear the speed bump pretty easy, go lower?
Simple 11" big brake kit, willwood.
No power steering, but it feels good. Removing the a/c feels a little more dramatic at the moment due to the factory motor mounts being a bit soft and torn
i would try 195/45/15 tires. its what im running and i like how they fit a lot
but yeah, much lower and your goign to sacrifice handling. i cant take a turn to well, well i take them great but i rub like a b***h. throws smoke

mothers makes a back to black that i hav heard great things about..
but your car is looking great man!! i love the stance!!!
Nice nice nice!!
My ek hasn't had any mods done lately. Your build makes me feel like I need to find some motavation! OEM hood bra would be a nice touch, imo. At least to throw on once and a while.
Get to it! yours looks so clean already though. I haven't been able to throw money at mine like i want to, but after the holidays it'll be going down for sure!
