96 Civic EX - Nothing Special...

[Nok]

What's up everyone?

Well as some of you may know I am a LONG time fan of 6th gen Civics, and I finally worked my way up from a 91 Integra, to a 93 Integra until finally up to my "new" 96 EX. Now she's nothing special... I personally have done nothing myself to it yet, but I have plans to change that once I get her in my possession.

I'm waiting for my bro to get all the exact info from his sister, because her b/f is the one who bought it and customized it for her but until then here are some rough specs

It's lowered professionally on Eibach Sport-Line Springs, along with 16" Enkei's. Little stuff done like; CA Intake, racing pedals, short shifter... Like I said, she's not that great but I love her and I can't wait to start puttin in work on her

Here are some ghetto phone cam pictures of her in my mechanic's shop, I will be going over there this weekend and will take some better digi pictures, but tell me what you all think?

I got some red/clear tails for her in the trunk, just haven't had the chance to put them on, and will probably wait until she's feeling better before I do. Also have some metal z3 fenders that I doubt I am going to use, maybe sell them? I dunno, tell me what everyone thinks please... And I can take constructive criticism

The car looks great.
I also have a Silver 96 Civic Ex Coupe and i have nothing but love for my car.
my car is lowered on Tein S-tech springs and they are green, i dont know if they are a bright green but that might be wat u have.

The car looks great so far.
I also have a 96 Civic Ex Coupe, but mine is black. not lowered yet, hopefully this spring/summer, still saving up.
I just bought an Apexi N1 exhaust system for it. It should be here monday, can't wait to put it on.

Thanks for the comments guys! I know she ain't much to look at right now, espescially with those ghetto pictures, but she'll eventually get there 8)

Anyone else have any ideas/suggestions/opinions/critcism?

Its good its already got suspension work done. Get a nice exhaust (not a fart can) and a lip kit. CF hood would look hot too

Get a nice exhaust (not a fart can)

I'm actually scared to get an exhaust because I don't want some high pitched whiner... I want people to feel my exhaust, not hear it, ya know? I've heard that the Thermal R&D CL Series are pretty deep, but haven't heard one for myself. Got any ideas?

Thanks for the comments and replies everyone!

Once I get my Apex'i N1 installed(hopefully monday), I give you some info on how that sounds. I've heard its deep, but also heard it can be high pitched, but either way its gonna be loud. I guess we'll see.

if you even want a body kit for that silver color..i would get the bomex..looks bomb on the color silver.

hey

looks like my car, u need some rims and drop, and oh yeah you need si tails

 

[Nok]

Thanks for the warm welcome 96Green

That'd be great if ya would Jasper! I'm really wanting to get a good exhaust, but I would hate to spend the bank on one, then end up that I hate it.

And edgarmy, I am thinking about getting her some bigger rims soon. And her drop looks better in person... She has kinda small rims on her right now so it makes the drop look weird, but it is a 1.8" drop in front and rear so it should be plenty when I get some 17" or 18" rims.

And what do you mean exactly by Si tails? The Red/Clear ones? Sorry, forgive my newbiness but anygot any pictures of them?

Well, the thing I didn't want to happen actually happened. It turns out my baby was run without some juices and now her motor is hashed. I posted a thread in the Wanted section so if anyone knows any good sites with low miled motors for a 96 EX, any help would be appreciated. My mechanic is leaving to Disneyland for all of next week so I got a little bit of time but he wanted me to see what kind of prices I could find. Thanks ahead of time!
