Welcome!Way to go for suspension first. Good idea.

[FinkenS14]

Could have done better on rim selection IMO

[240agsx]

i know i dont like them trying to get rid of them i just got them cuz i need i didnt like the look of the enkies i want a good set of fno's just waiting to get funds lol and its a working project

[Scuffed_ChukiCoupe]

civics are not entirely fail... nice moves so far on the car and the plans sound great.

[sr20power]

Welcome...and congrats on the car. Seems like you know what you are doing.

[Hoffman5982]

looking good. The rims are that horrible looking. I'd rock em for a while. Maybe if you got some spacers to get them flush it would look better. Looks like you got a clean platform. Good luck

[240agsx]

i know i thought bout spacers but i might be getting rims pretty soon so i dont wanna waist money on the spacers

[Nissan409]

For a motor put a dohc KA with a nice exhaust with headers, and a cold air intake. Paint the car the color you want(i honestly dont like flat black) and redo the interior, should be a fun little project. good luck!

[FolkertSX]

im not going to lie your civic looks pretty damn good from what i can tell. i like well done civics alot. go ahead...shoot me. but for a daily driver theyre nice cars. the perfect civic is a slammed si coupe, nice 15's, carbon fiber lip, and a oem cf hood,nice subtle exhaust Modified by FolkertSX at 7:43 PM 10/12/2009

yeah my civic was super clean i kept my car legit no ricer stufff hate that it was completelly oem jdm parts and body i liked it and got a lot of thumbs up for it but just got bored of it lol

[hpmachine]

Hey this is refreshing! You seem to know what's up. Good deal. Man I'd just throw some spacers on those wheels and they'll look just fine. Save the money for some baller interior parts.

[FolkertSX]

[MastaYu]

[digitalchi]

Nice find and way to go suspension first...thats how i plan on doing it. How much did you get the coilovers for??

[Klits562]

sr in california is riskyi would just go with a ka24de(dohc) it gets the job done or rebuild the single cam they aren't bad motors i love mine and it keeps up with my friends dohc.Also how many miles did your single cam have?

[Nacho_240]

How cool another Placentia native. I grew up there! It's an awesome town with awesome fiestas. Did you go to Valencia High School?

I've managed to keep mine under the radar. Registration was taken care of as well.

[JustDriftMore]

civic doesnt look half bad dood luck with your new ish

[OneSicSilvia]

Good luck with your 240 man, looks clean. Props on the non rice civic at that!

[zenkistic]

protect/relocate your harness to avoid tire rubbing and big surprises.

[KC240SR]

That civic is clean, and looks pretty nice. However, I would say get some 30mm spacers all around or......FAIL, those wheels are hideously high offset.
