First Car: 1992 Honda Civic LX (D15B7)

[Osiris19]

FINALLY got music in my car. Sounds amazing. Bass makes my car jump. Still waiting on FedEx to ship my caliper kits from FRIGGEN 5 MILES AWAY. It got there Saturday morning at 6 AM, but they couldn't ship it 5 miles down the highway? Stupid autozone should use ups. So, tomorrow when the kits get here, gonna pop the seals and boots in, bleed the brakes, add brake fluid, and my front brakes should be fine. (BTW, brake pads are brand new, I don't even want to look at the drums though) Anyways, I got a KDC-MP145 thrown in. Sounds really nice with my 150W kenwoods in the rear, and some-unknown-wattage in the front.

Nice man! Music always helps doesnt it? Lol

 

[Osiris19]

Yeah. My friend was very impressed by it. We were blasting dubstep in my quiet neighborhood. Bet my neighbors didn't take that lightly.

That'd be why you shouldn't go to vatozone...

Tunes are looking good...

 

[Osiris19]

Yeah. I hate autozone. Advance is a little better, but I haven't ordered anything from them yet.

 

[Osiris19]

Got one piston boot in, awaiting on Autozone to ship another one since they somehow forgot to ship he second one.
Just need to bleed the brakes before I take it out on the road. Probably buyin my bro's Rex wheels for $20 a piece, trying to talk him down to $15. Sortin s**t out thinking I should sell this and get this other eg civic I've been looking at.

Whats this other eg your lookin at??

Primered white with black hood and looks like black roof. All black steelies. It needs rear struts which he has and includes, and alternator (Which I'll probably rip out of mine if Ican get money) and an ac compressor but I can live without AC.

He hasn't emailed me back in a week so I think he either forgot or he sold it.

 

[pls]

Looks like primer grey to me..........are you planning to buy it or trade? if your planning to buy it, i rather just stick with what you already have and work with it...

 

[Osiris19]

I`d rather buy it if the engine is good so that it`ll save me the trouble of taking everything off and it has less miles than me.

 

[95coupeWI]

Ehh its ok. That's a tough one but like you said if he hasnt said anything back..

 

[Osiris19]

I'm just gonna drop it for now. The way I see it, I won't have this car come round march most likely. After I bleed my brakes in the correct order, I think I'm gonna either save up for paint or for new suspension. I don't know yet. I should probably put some money aside for a new car so when tax returns come around, I should be good.

Seems like steelies are the way to go? I used Rustoleum professional finish or some s**t, can get it at lowes or home depot, and I believe it's around 5$ a can, and it's tall, so you get more paint. So far, it's been really durable. This is exactly how mine turned out, and stayed lol. Picture looks kinda cool, it was cloudy-ish, but you can see how nice the wheels turned out.

And I can personally say, if you do paint the body yourself... Do like everyone else has said, and be extremely careful and patient. I took my time when i sprayed my ss flat black and it came out pretty good.

Keep us posted! Good thread.

 

[Osiris19]

Nah, I'm chucking the steelies, they're not the same sizes. I bought my brother's Rex wheels. Slapping some Futuras on them. They're 185/60/R14 and they fit nicely and give my car some style points.

 

[cyclefreak207]

damn, those looke better than steelies! clean, clean.

 

[Osiris19]

Both wheels on.

My car finally gots some style points.

And, I cleaned up my trunk.

Also, until I can save up money for a new halfshaft, I'll have to get a temporary boot kit.
