girlfriends car. not doing much extreme, just making it stand out a little.
My R/T is getting a new motor hopefully before the end of June along with a new clutch kit, Koni+mopar springs or Ksport coilovers, and Maybe large cams.
then im done with it til i save enough money for a nice downpayment on a small house or townhouse… or an F-Body
for the time being, we’ve been starting to toy with her car instead…

Below are pretty resent pics of the car.
still dont know what kind of wheels to get that are at a Reasonable price…
throw out some ideas.
to answer your question the tl wheels fit on the si which has a little different brake set up if any thing you might need a 3mm spacer to make them clear the calipers on the front (when installing si wheels on an ex you need a 3mm spacer on the front to clear the brake caliper)
and when i buy a new rear sway bar ill let you know if you want the stock one off my car ill sell it to you i should be getting a new on some time this summer
if you have any other questions let me know i know to much about this chasis civic already
taken on my girl’s shitty digital camera…
their not that blue in person, i dunno why their so blue on cam.
the cutoff is great and their is VERY little glare or hotspots for a stock housing. im impressed… altho a projector retrofit would have been even better
New pics of the HID’s and the new jdm yellow DRL’s and high beams (Luminics bulbs)
She’s always complaining about not being able to see at night… well not anymore lol.
the yellow highbeams work GREAT in fog!
EDIT:
New pics of it clean. (dont mind the pass side taillight and rear bumper lol, we still havent fixed her hit and run, by the end of the month it will be fixed)
when you said Si grill I thought you were going to keep the Si badge on it. especially when you showed the picture of the back end of an Si. I was like :eek3: that would have been retarded. When I return to the states there is this Auto Trans Civic with Si badges on grill and trunk I wanted to just rip the badges right off of the car. that would be like me putting Type-R badges on my car. It’s an Si close enough to a Type-R but no it would be wrong.
