ok so some of you know i took a break for a while cause i had a company car for the past 8 months. well i finally got myself a black coupy like i always wanted. 00 ex in pretty nice shape with only 103k miles...i already put about 1500 on it in the past 2 weeks.

only mods so far are tinted windows...which need to repaired (minor peeling)
and speakers changed...infinity in the front..and pioneers in the back.

i am focusing on suspension for a while starting off with lowering springs and a couple strut bars and when my stocks blow...ill get some matching struts for it followed by some sway bars, etc.

for springs i am thinking the eibach sportlines since the stechs are a bigger drop and they are safe for stock shocks not to blow.

anyways..here are some pics.














too bad i moved to chicago and its hella cold out here so no working on the car for me unless theyre minor bolt ons modifications. :P

p.s. i found some chrome ring hubcaps on ebay that i may buy to see how they look with steelies...basically its a chrome/polished lip for steelies.

edit: the tint peel is in the back window...place was gonna fix it in NY but i had to come back to Chicago so i couldnt wait for them to come back from holidays. i got the whole car done including sunroof for only 125 so i am still happy.

oh and the dsport mag is complimentary reading materials for my passengers.

end goal is boosted h22 maybe type s...if money permits. and that little dealership sticker will come off as soon as i find a way to remove it.

Sweet ride man. Looks exactly like mine except for the red color.
Lowering it is a good start I plan on getting some H&R sports in the next month or so.
Good luck.

Wow I'm jealous, I did at one time want a '00. Anyhow, you were in NY? You bastid!

Don't spraypaint that one whitewall, that will look mad ghetto, go to a tire shop and have them flip the tire. The inside should be blackwall.

Also for the dealer sticker, heat it up (blow dryer) and hand peel, then put a little compound. At this point, you should think about shaving your Civic/EX emblems using the dental floss/Goof Off method.

Lastly, suspension-wise...Prokits and S-techs are all ghey drops. Go hard or go home...either Omni full coilover for some nice slammage or KYB AGX w/ H&R Race springs ride well and bring you pretty low. I will post pics now.

I can show you how to get the full setup for under 450. AGX = 280 shipped, and H&R Race = 150 shipped.
