2000MRDC2 · 08-13-2007, 12:53 AM

I sold my WRX in may cause i needed money to pay bills and just bought this car. heres the mods. The Front bumper is rattle canned as is the lip, and its an aftermarket bumper so it looks bad. I got the car for real cheap and i needed a car to get back and forth to work so I bought it.

JDM D15B
Ebay Intake

Future Plans:

is the kid with the hf named matt?

2000MRDC2 · 08-13-2007, 04:37 AM

Ya matt tr....

Danronian · 08-13-2007, 04:02 PM

Minus the lip, I like it alot. Good luck with it. As long as you keep the oil changed, and the regular maintence up on it, it should be a perfect daily driver. For a heavy civic, I wouldnt go with a b16 though, something with more displacement will make for a much more fun-to-drive car.

Buster · 08-13-2007, 04:03 PM

Wow you weren't kidding when you said you were going back. Good luck with this one. Do it up like the blue one.

87fierogt · 08-13-2007, 04:21 PM

yea matt lives right down the street from me i grew up with him. that crx is clean as hell as is your civic

IntegrasAreBest · 08-13-2007, 04:22 PM

nice, glad to see you back in a honda.

2000MRDC2 · 08-13-2007, 06:25 PM

yea I really dont like the lip either but it looks dumb without it so ill leave it for now.

Crzyguy972 · 08-13-2007, 06:33 PM

renn's at it again. good luck with this one. hopefully you will have better luck then you did with your wrx

180sxDrifter · 08-13-2007, 08:12 PM

Couldnt make it out last night... need to replace my turbo, thats why it was smoking so much

IntegrasAreBest · 08-14-2007, 10:07 PM

wheels are sick! wanna trade?

2000MRDC2 · 08-15-2007, 02:19 AM

I would love to trade but mine arent in good shape at all they are curbed ones bent the paint is chipping on one of the fronts and theyre not worth powdercoating.

OMG JDM · 08-23-2007, 01:24 AM

damn, i want some white hx wheels now.

SovXietday · 08-23-2007, 01:32 AM

Sweet, the mugen lip would look better if it was mounted a tad bit higher, otherwise it doesn't look too terribly bad. It's low as hell though haha.

jdm free · 08-23-2007, 01:58 PM

somebody should tell cleanneon that this is truly a low n slow car

u forgot to list the DIY red H center caps
good luck wit it renn

yeah. spacers or grind off a little bit of the caliper. they would be decent winter wheels though. a little better than my steelies.

just get some si wheels or ls mesh

2000MRDC2 · 08-24-2007, 06:09 PM

well this weekend im going to take the lip off, repaint it and mount it higher and better. Im also gonna either repaint the 2 front wheels white or paint all 4 a wild color (pink/lime green/orange) just to change it up. I also just got a set of seats (pics in 1st post) since my stock seats have a few tears and cigarette burns in them. I just need rails then they will go in, Theyre not the nicest but I got a deal I couldnt pass up on them.
