Hey everyone, new guy here with my 97 Ex.

[wh1t3y]

Hello everyone here at clubcivic, just wanted to say hey and see what people think of my civic. I've been waiting to post until i got some pictures of my car, and now that i have them i figured i'd post them and start getting more active on the forum. She's still got a lot of work that needs to be done, but im slowly working on it. Well enough of my jibber-jabber, heres my bagged 97 Civic Ex. Thanks in advance to anyones comments and advice. P.S. steelies rock... i know...

god damn you have some sick ass camber issues in the back! drop looks cool though, future plans?

 

[wh1t3y]

haha i know, its only like that when its all the way slammed, i'll have to get some pics of some side-to-side action and what not to show what what my air ride is made of. My future plans... ive lost many a sleepless night due to me wondering the same thing. I need to fix all of the body damage first off that all happened before i got it. Definitely need some wheels... the stuff that ive done to it already are: i put a compustar 2was-ss two way pager alarm on it, a short shifter, flowmaster series-60 exhaust, and then my baby-easystreet air strut kit - fbss running 175 psi. I also have a tablet pc that im in the process of making a mount for so i can have my complete in-car-entertainment system ready...

[RiceGirl]

Damn.. I dunno how you make it over speed bumps..



Nice ride..

 

[94CivEX]

[mienboiracer209]

[Mr. Jollypants]

Its Air Ride.. Also, holy s**t.. 1.87 for REG!?

I also see the CIVIC emblem was removed from the back and move to the front grill, may I ask WHY?

 

[skinnyjdm]

[House Special]

[mugen00]

[jdmcivicsilver]

damn remind's me of the good old days man i remember when i was that low

 

[Melt]

that is tight ... keep mobbin the steelies they look coo

 

[wh1t3y]

hey everyone thanks for the comments... well heres the story on the front grille and the civic emblem. Before I had the car something happened to its ass end... only trunk damage though and when they went to put a new civic emblem on they put it in the wrong spot, so i took it off and put it in the grille. I know i need to take the crappy mesh out of it but im lazy.

Its so low because i have air suspension:

8 - 3/8" SMC 300psi valves
1 - 5 gallon tank (8 ports)
1 - 380C Viair compressor
4 - Easystreet Air Struts (1/4" port)
All 1/2" lines and fittings
And of course... the 10 switch clear plexiglass swithbox

I'll have to get some pictures of the different see-saw's.

The installation definitely took a little longer than expected, but everything turned out alright in the end. Couple trips to Ace's for some thread dope and various fittings and all that but me and my friend Spencer who has a bagged s10 did it in about 5 days.

And as for the show route... im actually not really wanting to go into that aspect, in the end i want to have the somewhat sleeper/jdm look. I just love the way air rides, low when you need it and raised for those damn speedbumps. Right now im looking for some black wheels and I also have some cool ideas i want to try that i havent really seen in the near future with my tablet pc, but i'll keep you guys posted.
