My New Beater?

[coolme187]

Im going to pick this car up sometime next week hopefully. I've kinda always wanted a honda for a while and this proved to be a great opprotunity. Ill also save a bunch of money on gas (running way rich). Obviously the headlights have to go, but the sidemoldings will be painted over this weekend. Right now, the only mod other than oem headlights that Ill probably do is put on some nice volks to replace the rotas. Heres the mods that are on the car currently.

96 civic dx coupe. 82k on chasis
Jdm B16a 40k on motor
15' Bronze Rota Subzero's
85% tread 195 50R 15 Khumo ecsta's
Skunk2 intake
HKS spark plugs
Short shifter
Full exhaust
High flow CAT
S2000 muffler
Front and rear Mugen lip kit
Full suspension..gas filled shocks with 30mm internal cylinder and dual density mechanism.
2.5 inch lowering springs
Front and rear strut bars
Pioneer head unit

I just hope I dont get bitten by the mod bug...

The rotas look alright. but if I do seriously start modding this car, than I would want to do it right, since everyone has a civic .

sounds like youre moving in the right direction...post more pics when you get the headlights,rims, and paint finished.

looks aight...how much did you pick up the car for? btw some 99-00 tail lights would make it look more cleaner

Yeah, I want to do everything right from the start. Ill get some new pics after it gets new paint this weekend.

I got it for about 7k. I forgot about the tails. Ill probably end up getting the 99-00 tails sooner or later.

My other car is in my sig . It looks completely stock on the outside, with the exception of the 2" drop and extremely out exhaust and bov . Its running really rich right now, and I was comtemplating about buying a honda for a while, but this came up so.... .

haha thanks. Ill def let you know

nice start

Actually I found a nice set of Gram Lights on tirerack which look like this:

I think they look good, and they are basically volks without the higher price tag.
