Hello ClubCivic members. Name's Dominick, and I just recently purchased my dream car: an EM1 in Electron Blue Pearl. I paid $5000 for it and it is a 1999 with about 185,xxx miles on it. I live in an area of PA, that is known for being a playground for European cars (mostly VW's) and Mustangs. I am the only kid with one of these cars around where I live. I got the car a week ago and have had to find excuses to go out and drive it. I have been a member of ClubCivic for almost three years now and have enjoyed getting ideas and plans from others around the net.
My plans for the car are to keep it a daily driver, and also make it a track day/autocross car. I grew out of the street racing fad about an eon ago, so now the focus is on making the car a respected track veteran that can kick my many friend's domestic cars' ass.
Now on to the pictures/modification list:
Exterior:
-Electron Blue Pearl
-JDM Red Honda badges (front & rear)
-Type-R Front Lip
-Fog lights
-Si spoiler
-Rare roof spoiler
-OEM Si Rims
-OEM head- and taillights
-OEM hood
-Mud guards (not quite sure exactly what they are, but there different)
Interior:
-OEM seats
-Color matched inserts
-Sony headunit
-(4) Infinity Kapa 6" subs
Engine:
-B18C1
-Chipped P72 (OBD 2 to OBD1)
-AEM CAI
-Skunk2 Pro Series Intake Manifold
-Innovative Mounts steel motor mounts
-Vibrant Catback Exhaust system
Transmission:
-GSR Transmission
-Excedy 9lb Flywheel
Chassis/Suspension:
-Skunk2 ProS Coilovers (includes shocks & struts)
-GSR Axels
Other:
-6k H.I.D.s
It needs some TLC because there are more dents and scratches than I can count. Both foglights don't work, the interior is in need of some repair, it needs floor mats, and the entire front end needs to be replaced (bumper, fenders, hood). By far the worst part it the trunk. When I actually got around to cleaning it, underneath the spare tire was stagnent water mixed with rust and an array of tools. I cleaned it out as best I could and now the trunk bed looks like s***. This is my dream car, however, and I look forward to working on it until my fingers bleed. Let me know your comments/concerns. Thanks you for looking and ClubCivic rules!

I am not feeling the color match on the interior, mud guards or the rear visor at all. EBP FTW!
Not so much in person.
.....sorta..
