clean base...

unless you have a dohc you should take them off though..\


i would do suspension first if i were you

 

[Jbuck2KCivic]

Clean slate to start off of, how many miles on the car and the overall condition.

 

[Astheros]

yeah welcome....like danny said.....go suspension first....
i have about 1k in parts already for my car but cant put any of them on cause its still sitting on stock suspension.....lower it first...will make it look much better then do other things.

edit: take of the doch stickers....using a blow dryer....dont be a poser like the last owner

im thinking about taking them off when it gets warmer out and i get around to it. the car has 113,000 miles on it (alot). Theres alot of "here and there" problems that im wokring on fixing, such as the driver side seatbelt was all twisted aroudn but i fixed that up, the passenger side window control doesnt work so im getting a new one ($30) once i get some money, i have to replace this exhaust soon, its mounted like not centered, so it was touching the bumper i noticed, and thers a hole burned thru the bumper now O.O. so yeah also the transmission has something going on with it, if i shift into 2nd going at least 45mph, it grinds for a second, i know its not me because i have the clutch in all the way and stuff. I dono its weird cuz it isnt doing that any more. Also when i got the car i noticed sometimes it would hesitate when i stepped on the gas, so i did some reasearch and replaced the spark plugs (Bosch Platinum 2s) and that problem is fixed. Also i ran seafoam through the car yesterday (some through the brake booster line, some in the crank case and whatever was left through the gas tank), going to change the oil today though to get fresh oil in. Do you guys have any other tips for a general tune up? I want to get it into perfect running condition before i actually put any performance upgrades into it. Whats the general list for parts to replace to get it all up to date and running perfect? oh and also noticed one of my headlights were out yesterday so im replacing the bulb today.

wew long post lol but that should cover everything.

Super clean more pics please

That looks great for a first car, but I think you should take off the stickers too. I'd drop it first.
Looks just like mine except mine is red.

whats the check list for things to do to get everything up to date and in good running operation?

 

[JohnS.]

and nice clean base . I remember when my black coupe used to look stock.

And you mean tune-up? Spark plugs, spark plug wires, fuel filter (most don't but some do), o2 sensor(s), PCV valve, regular oil + oil filter changes, proper tire pressure, fuel system service, air filter, etc.

Got any plans for it?

 

[Coutts]

gettin a job like asap (next few weeks) and i need to tune it up first before i put any performance parts on it. whats the budget cost for the tune up you just suggested amej8? i already replaced the spark plugs with Bosch Platinum 2s, and i also just did a sea foam treatment on it, and i think my tires have leaks because i just filled them up a few weeks ago and they look really low again >.>

 

[JohnS.]

Hmm let's see... This is how much I spent and I spent a lil more for the higher end products (aren't necessary but I just felt like wasting money at the time):

Spark plugs - $5
Spark plug wires - $50 (NGK Blues)
Air Filter - $56 (AEM Dry Flow Replacement for aftermarket intake)
O2 Sensor - $88 Inc. Tax from Advanced Auto Parts (Wired it up myself instead of spending $200+ for an OEM from the stealership)

I still have more to do once I get a job. I'd imagine a fuel filter not costing over $20, PCV valve not costing over $25, etc. So minimum, I'd say you're looking to spend atleast $150 still.

 

[Coutts]

my plans are to at first get the bpu stuff like intake, header and exhaust (need to replace current one asap, its mounted crooked at the end and its burned a hole in the bottom of the bumper O.O), any suggestions for brand and everything / total cost for it?
