Car looked like this:Now it looks like this:There was a thread on here awhile ago (Newbs 13) broke a control arm.

I'm looking to make a daily driver, that could stuff someone who gets cocky with a civic every once in awhile.

Currently has:Stage 2 Exedy clutch/lightened fly wheelSolid motor mountsCold air intakeLSD rear endSpeed limiter and most emissions stuff removedFront and rear strut barsLower tie bar17" Azul wheelsSome body kitIt's had a lot of "weight reduction modifications" done. Some of which I'm not to cozy with. Example, no coolant over flow tank.

Things to do:Recharge a brand new batteryGhetto rig the bumpers to drivableInstall godspeed project lowwer rear control arms(have)Fix passenger side headlight (stuck up)Bleed clutch line (Clutch seems to stick or at least come up very slowly)Patch minor rustThinking of doing a 50/50 paint bomb job to hide some of the uglyInstall coolant overflow tankFix audio wiringREMOVE FOOLISH GIANT HOOD SPACERSFull tune up (fluids, wires, and plugs)Clean up upholstery

Please read

[bersh240]

so previous owner took body kit and other fancy stuff off before selling it to you.how bad does that aftermarket sunroof leak?

[Fluffy282]

Good grief. He lost the control arm at 60 and hit a small tree... the tree broke the tail light and the rear bumper. The off road adventure broke the front bumper off. The side skirts where taken off cause they look silly without everything else. And the sunroof doesn't leak at all. Thank you much sir.

[Fluffy282]

Got my tail lights in today

[bersh240]

those are your jdm chrome taillights?...wow.

[Fluffy282]

They were cheap as f*** and I needed tail lights... but thanks for the encouraging comment

What do you plan on doing to be able to beat the hondas?

[bersh240]

hope you didnt pay retail for them.you could get real "jdm" lights for that...not "euro" crappy strango looking ones.if you tint them they might look good tho

[Fluffy282]

What do you plan on doing to be able to beat the hondas?

You'll see when I get a couple bucks to actually put into this car. Right now I'd be happy to have it on the road.

And Bersh HELL NO, I spent like $85 shipped haha. I might tint it later... right now I really dont care as long as they work.

[bersh240]

only way they look good.and whats your plans do tell.b16 with vtec?

[Fluffy282]

Nope it's a secret till I have everything ready to go on it (don't hold your breath, this is going to take awhile)

[bersh240]

YOUR NO FUN! it better not be a turbo ka. or an sr20 swap. if you keep me waiting for just that..

[Fluffy282]

It wont be revolutionary, just a little fun. Still toying with different ideas.

[Lonismos14]

If you want to beat the hondas just do a h22 swap yo! Thats jdm as f***!!

sometimes you have to sacrifice and buy ebay parts to get the car on the road. g/l with the build.

Like ebay lights and lowwer control arms!I know these sneaky interweb discount tricks haha.Thanks

[bersh240]

uhh not kidding around on this one.dont buy ebay lca. suspension parts are what you trust with your life.

[Fluffy282]

Just cause I bought them on e-bay doesn't necessarily mean they are junk. Weld's look strong, powder coating looks great, haven't put them on yet so I can't comment on fit. Have a 5 year warrenty.-shrug- we'll see
