noob to owning a civic

[Rinzler]

Sup everyone! Name's Brien from AL and no I am not a redneck Prior owner to a 96 Honda prelude very first project car, now long gone. Picking up a '98 Ek hatchback Dx in 2 weeks. Was a good friend project car but he got to many project cars going so I got lucky. D16 with a greddy turbo wheels are XXR 962 18x8.5 with BFG rubber, I know huge wheels but they are practically brand new and they came with the car so I am not complaining & Blox full coilover's not sure about up under the rear what brand that is. An no that 's not my foot in the pic.

[Rinzler]

Thanks for the welcome!!!
@Civicspencer Lmao!!! Yea I got lucky on this deal. If I told you how much I paid you would hate me a lot more. Lol!!!
CTR front and rear lip for the outsid. Vitara piston eagle rods bigger turbo & few other goodies on the inside.
@Rayaccord101 yea the thought crossed my mind about selling them. Wanting some Buddy Club P1 Racing SF in a gunmetal finish 16x7 mmmmmm found for lil over 1200 w/tires. The 18's I know have less then 1k miles that's how brand new they are. Sorry no engine bay pics yet give me two more weeks and i will have some.

How much did you pick her up for if you don't mind me asking

 

[JohnS.]

Definitely clean and off to a good start. Just dump the 18's for something smaller. How do the coilovers ride?

 

[Rinzler]

@civicspencer $3800 for everything

@JohnS don't know have yet to drive the car the suspension and wheels have been on the car since September.

For the price and everything on it. I would had been crazy to pass it up. Always wanted a hatch either a ek or eg. Got lucky with this one and all the goodies that came with it.

That's not bad at all

 

[emerican]

Good price man tuned in for the bay shot

 

[MistahJuice]

Hella clean. Nice pickup bro and welcome

 

[Rinzler]

Thanks for the welcome!!! Looks like I found a bunch of good people. Been to a few other forums where somebody ask a question or does something majority doesn't like and all they do talk sh*t and put people down.

 

[Rinzler]

11 days till I get my hatch and can't decide what to order first. CTR front and rear lip or a gauge cluster with a tach since the Dx model did not come with one.

 

[rayaccord101]

i would do the tech first.

 

[emerican]

I would get the cluster with the tach in it first.

 

[Rinzler]

Today was a good day. LX cluster with tach and only 53k miles on it came in today. Now just gotta make it through the weekend and probably Monday. I will be taking ownership of the hatch and then debate what to order next. Been looking at the CTR lips on ebay $72 free shipping for both. For that price anything is possible when it comes to fitment. Anybody have any luck with those ebay PU lips.

Thanks... Anniston if you ever traveled on I-20 headed to ATL you go right past it.


Update on getting the car. Waiting till Saturday let him hold on to it due to the fact his BMW was not finished cause the person working on it decided to drag ass on it. So hoping to get it Saturday but on the good side it's suppose to be sunny can we say photo op weekend.
