Pics of My Civic

[Mario85]

Thought I would post up pictures, and a description of my new ride a 1996 Honda Civic EX. ITs got 142000 miles on the chassis and 72,000 miles on engine/

Mods- Cold Air Intake, Ractive cat back exhaust, a short throw shifter, set of 15 inch rims, a jenson headunit and sirius satelite radio. Yeah its nothing special but hey its what I got and I only have like 2400 in it.

Here are some pics more will be added later to this thread once I clean up the engine bay and the interior.

All comments and criticism god or bad are welcome and appreciated.

Has potential....looks like the headlights could use a lil help.

I don't really like the wheels, but it could look really nice if you do the right things to it

You have a nice platform and a long way to go. What are you plans for her?

 

[Suanico]

spend 10 minutes and take off the wipers and repaint them black again

 

[Mario85]

Sorry for the late replys but my internet has been down for a while. Any way my plans for the car so far are Interior- Fix the shif boot, new carpet, leather seats, fix speedometer, new steering wheel, new console, new speakers, led cluster mod, fix all broken pieces in interior, a good thourough cleaning.

Engine-clean and detail, header, and paint engine bay.
Suspension- umm not sure yet here need to look into my options.
Chassis- subframe conectors
Body-Paint front bumper, new OEM headlights, paint sideskirts, remove rear spoiler. Clay bar wax and wash oh and some 2000 grit wet sanding in a couple spots.
Wheels/Tires- New rims

Umm I think thats alll really theese things are in no particular order in the time im gonna complete them, and theres not really a timetable to get all this stuff done because im a broke ass college student.

Thanks for all the replies and sorry for such a long list.

gotta start somewhere, right? 99 front end would be sick.

 

[98civikdx]

Different rims, and fix the headlights. Other than that, it's a clean car, nice start man!

 

[Mario85]

Thanks, Im not really partial to the 99-00 front end as I think the 96 front end looks cleaner IMO.

make it a sleeper

 

[Mario85]

runupnr-the thought has entered my mind but Im still kinda undecied as to which route to go.

I just ordered a Ractive shifter boot and plate so As soon as I install that I will post up pics of my interior even though its really dirty and in need of much TLC after 141000 miles...
