Hello Everyone-Introducing My Self

[Civic600]

Hi my name is AJ Criscone. I am 17 years old and i live in Schenectady,NY. I am currently buying all the parts id like for an 88-91 Honda Civic Hatchback. I will have the civic before end of march 04 then on the road by end of april 04. Just in time for the street races aka spring time. Most of my stuff isnt "proffessional" name brands i did a lot of ebay shopping. Im only 17 and its the best way to go for me. lol. Heres what i have so far:

Performance:
Type-RS Muffler 4.5"
NGK Performance Plugs
APC Short Shifter
Cold Air Intake
Type-R 10.3mm Spark Wires

Interior:
American Pro 12" Subwoofers
Dual Chamber Sealed Sub Box
JDM Shift Knob
Type RS Pedals
4" Tach w/ Shift Light
Pioneer 6 1/2" Speakers
Pioneer 200w Head Unit
1000w Amplifier

Exterior:
Bomz Racing Coil Overs
Xenon hi/lo 6000k HID Lights
Clear Bumper Lenses
15" Sport Edition Fox 5 Rims
Carbon Fiber Altezzas

Once i get my car ill buy:
Clear Corners
Custom Paint Interior
#1 Tints (1% light showing threw)
Floor mats,windsheild wipers,apc hood nozzles

Then before end of summer ill have:
Full blitz/mugen body kit
Paint Job w/ airbrushed graphics (maybe or just stick on ones)
projector lights
4-2-1 headers,hi flo catylic and 2.5" mid pipes

Winter 2004 Plans:
B16A Engine,New Headers to fit the B series engine.
Carbon Fiber Hood

(I had 4-2-1 headers/hi flow catylic converter but i traded them for 23 day old 15" rims listed above, not a bad deal right.lol..My friend thought headers/catylic were worth 300+ an his rims for 500 but used, not one scratch/dig/scrape etc..Mint condition..Good deal on my part!)

I know its not the best car cause there not name brands, and most of you hate altezzas but i like them. Yes i am a "ricer" i love graphics,altezzas and lots of un-necassary things that dont make me go faster. lol..let me kno what you think of my soon to be ride. I kno it sorta sounds dumb for buying my parts first but i had a 91 civic HB and loved it, my favorite car but engine died and had chassis rust (major). So i got rid of it, and decided to wait till spring to get another one. Thanks for reading, im happy im apart of this forum finally. Thanks!

JDM Carbon Fiber Altezzas

I didn't know altezza's were JDM on a civic
Just a word to the wise you get what you pay forso if cheap is the way your are goin be careful

Ya i kno my car isnt going to be "street race worthy" but all my friends and i head to the races...If anyone here is from the tri-city area its the races where they meet in Kohls Parking Lot then whom ever wants to race they all go down behind kohls and theres a nice drag strip dead end - no cops to be seen ever. Its awesome. My friends got a nice civic 92 hatch all done up who actually goes there to race, hes the one who got me into this. Hes as they call them "die hard racer"..gutted interior etc. Im just more of a show car guy for now till next winter when i do my swap.

Those stick on grafix will give you at least a 5-10 hp increase

**Ok I know I am still a noob but I still know a fast and the furious groupie when I see one**

 

[Civic600]

Ya it says "JDM Carbon Fiber Altezzas" I dont kno if they actually are. Ill check for the signs of JDM if it actually is, ill take the JDM off for now until im 100% positive they are. ya i kno some stuff on there is crap but the altezzas im going to order this weekend OR go threw my friend at the local import shop and get a set threw him.

 

[psyke_13]

The only thing Altezza style lights came JDM on are on the Altezza

 

[Civic600]

fast and furious groupie..Nice i like that..Yes im not gonna lie and say i dont wanna be like that cause hell ya id love to have any of those cars. I dunno thats just my style, loaded w/ decals/graphics..altezzas..Thats just my taste maybe not anyone elses but it is mine.

 

[psyke_13]

That's cool I'm just givin you a hard time if that's what you like go for it don't let ne one tell you what to do with your car they aren't the one driving it

 

[Civic600]

Thanks, i like the sleeper look also. Everything blacked out and or just just stock looking but fast as hell, thats what my friends civic is all stock outside and inside besides 1 racing seat and a tach and a ton under the hood. But im more into the nice sounding, loud paint job (thinking of bright green/orange), full kitted with decent graphics..Nothing crowded just decals on the windows and some graphics down the side done by Infamous Graphics when the time comes. I dunno i used to want that fast as hell sleeper look but now i want more of a show look..Maybe ill change my style later on. But in winter 2004 i will be doing an engine swap something major to make up for the looks of my car. So for those sleeper guys/girls out there..That should gain some points with you lol.

Just remember, you get what you pay for.

 

[Civic600]

ya i kno i get what i pay for. A bunch of my friends have bought altezzas off ebay and have no problems with them what so ever. 140 shipped for carbon fiber altezzas isnt bad at all. But then i look at other places and its 200+ just because it is name brand. I could give 2 shi*s if its name brand.lol. As long as it looks good its all i care about.

 

[needboost]

why not get a 5th gen civic instead of a 4th

 

[Civic600]

i was thinking of that, my friends got a 92 hatch and i like it......but i cant resist the 88-91 hatches there awesome..I like the old school honda look..not as rounded more boxy sorta

Altezza?

Whats an altezza? Here in New Zealand its a type of Toyota (lexus in US).
But the way you talk about it, its a part.. heh

dont put parts stickers all over ur car unless ur actualy putting it in a show. the only thing stickers do is tell thieves wat they're gonna get wen they steal ur car. basically its a catalog for jackers. paint it pink ;-)
