figured i might as well make a thread, cause im bored and I know how everyone loves pictures. most of you remember my 20v coupe that I parted/sold earlier this year. ![http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/395/img1842t.jpg](http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/395/img1842t.jpg) I then was looking at another syncro GTI however the sale fell through, so i decided to try something new, i picked up a 95 civic ex with a K20 swap. I always loved k20 swaps and i drove it and had to have it. ![http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq219/Globe1280/112847120large.jpg](http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq219/Globe1280/112847120large.jpg) ![http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq219/Globe1280/112847147large.jpg](http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq219/Globe1280/112847147large.jpg) I had the car for about 3 weeks and it developed a rod knock,I decided i really didnt want to drop 2gs to fix the car so i decided to cut my losses and walk away. needless to say i was back in the market for a new car. I decided to get back into my true love. MK2s. This is the black bomber, a friend of mines brother had the car for years and never really drove it. the car had been sitting for the most part, and needed a lot of TLC. the car was pretty un-molested, however the dash was cracked, the headliner was falling down, the pass rear door had rot, and it was pretty cosmetically challenged. however it did have a full drivetrain swap from a 95 GLX, and I mean FULL, ABS, A/C, gas tank, MFA, SAI the whole deal. it also has some performance goods in the form of a schrick intake, cat cams, peliquin diff and some other goodies. ![http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/1368/img1928c.jpg](http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/1368/img1928c.jpg) ![http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/2263/img1927b.jpg](http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/2263/img1927b.jpg) ![http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/2924/img1929.jpg](http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/2924/img1929.jpg) ![http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/4895/img1930l.jpg](http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/4895/img1930l.jpg) ![http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/3323/img1932qu.jpg](http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/3323/img1932qu.jpg) ![http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/8732/img1937qs.jpg](http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/8732/img1937qs.jpg) ![http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/5296/img1935q.jpg](http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/5296/img1935q.jpg) the first order of business was to replace the headliner. ![http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/5098/img1939x.jpg](http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/5098/img1939x.jpg) ![http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1778/img1944.jpg](http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1778/img1944.jpg) ![http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/5926/img1945j.jpg](http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/5926/img1945j.jpg) i decided to do something simple and went with black suede, 2 weeks later it decided to sag but i left it alone for now, but it was better than before. ill will be replacing it sooner or later. ![http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/5645/img1946c.jpg](http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/5645/img1946c.jpg) ![http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/8358/img1947v.jpg](http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/8358/img1947v.jpg) next up was the dash, it was cracked and had damage from radio removal. ![http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/460/img1949n.jpg](http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/460/img1949n.jpg) ![http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/2134/img1950i.jpg](http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/2134/img1950i.jpg) ![http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/8518/img1951ob.jpg](http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/8518/img1951ob.jpg) ![http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9004/img1952n.jpg](http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/9004/img1952n.jpg) all done, i decided to install my momo i had on my coupe as well. ![http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/3111/img1954n.jpg](http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/3111/img1954n.jpg) ![http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/2200/img1955.jpg](http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/2200/img1955.jpg) ![http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/2616/img1956b.jpg](http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/2616/img1956b.jpg) next up was the paint, waterfest was a week away and i wanted to get her shined up. the car is original paint but cleaned up real nice. before ![http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/7291/img1958r.jpg](http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/7291/img1958r.jpg) 50/50 ![http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/1267/img1959.jpg](http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/1267/img1959.jpg) ![http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/5958/img1961i.jpg](http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/5958/img1961i.jpg) better ![http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/199/img1960hlc.jpg](http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/199/img1960hlc.jpg) ![http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/5009/img1957j.jpg](http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/5009/img1957j.jpg) ![http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/807/img1966vir.jpg](http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/807/img1966vir.jpg) ![http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/1659/img1963a.jpg](http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/1659/img1963a.jpg) ![http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/4393/img1969e.jpg](http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/4393/img1969e.jpg) pre wax ![http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/6771/img1962c.jpg](http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/6771/img1962c.jpg) ![http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/2418/img1965azj.jpg](http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/2418/img1965azj.jpg) ![http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/9605/img1967r.jpg](http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/9605/img1967r.jpg) ![http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/5935/img1964f.jpg](http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/5935/img1964f.jpg) ![http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/4780/img1968w.jpg](http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/4780/img1968w.jpg) and a shot of the car from waterfest. ![http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/6900/043za.jpg](http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/6900/043za.jpg) ---

The car came with quad rounds which ive never been a fan of so i picked up a single round grille/ new crosshairs at waterfest. I also added smoked turns from my coupe as well. ![http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/8446/img1972rv.jpg](http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/8446/img1972rv.jpg) ![http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/4889/img1975y.jpg](http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/4889/img1975y.jpg) i then decided to spin the coils down after doing some fender work ![http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7782/img1980cb.jpg](http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7782/img1980cb.jpg) ![http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/4877/img1981v.jpg](http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/4877/img1981v.jpg) ![http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/5190/img1982.jpg](http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/5190/img1982.jpg) i decided the engine bay needed some love too so. i placed the battery in the trunk and ditched the washer bottle, then I smoothed out and painted the drivers side of the bay. ![http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/3500/img2003m.jpg](http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/3500/img2003m.jpg) i wanted to clean up the pass side of the bay so i made a custom intake tube that placed the air filter on the drivers side. ![http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/2446/img2005w.jpg](http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/2446/img2005w.jpg) i then re located the schrick vacuum stuff and ditched the charcoal canister did some body work and paint ![http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/4283/img2017j.jpg](http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/4283/img2017j.jpg) next I had jeff bynum make me a coilpack relocation bracket to move the coilpack to the front of the motor under the intake. ![http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/3014/img2022i.jpg](http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/3014/img2022i.jpg) ![http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/845/img2023m.jpg](http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/845/img2023m.jpg) and to add some color to break up all the black. ![http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/614/img2038x.jpg](http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/614/img2038x.jpg) after about a month of searching i sourced a set of G60 flares so i could throw on my panasports. just front flares installed ![http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/7982/004cir.jpg](http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/7982/004cir.jpg) ![http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/9330/008qyp.jpg](http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/9330/008qyp.jpg) ![http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/5170/009bma.jpg](http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/5170/009bma.jpg) ![http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/6871/011bngixc.jpg](http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/6871/011bngixc.jpg) i wanted to go lower but i had to order a skid plate so i wasnt busting oil pans left and right.
