My 1996 Honda Civic build

Nashville · 10-26-2021, 04:26 PM

Taking it to the body shop to be finished, went for a drive today

The rims are absolutely a big plus point to the overall look.

Agreed. Wheels make or break a car

White rims spotted

Good take on it. Lovely car

Put some miles on the car. A magazine reached out and they want to shoot it- so I need to make sure it'll make that 200 mile journey. Also I'm toying around with clear vs amber side markers

flybigjet · 11-03-2021, 01:19 PM

Based on the pics above? Definitely clear.

IllSic_Design · 11-03-2021, 06:03 PM

Def. clear

Doctor_X · 11-03-2021, 06:23 PM

Been following along since the beginning - clean build and nice car!

Did they shoot the silver on the car assembled and in the same session? Passenger door looks like a different color.

Yeah it needs to go back to the body shop for sure. Good eye! They def sprayed it at different times

cdavis93 · 11-03-2021, 10:08 PM

So clean

It looks outstanding either way. Silver is such a tough color to get right! Hopefully they take care of you and make it perfect.

They will. I got the extended lifetime warranty for that reason. Thanks for the kind words

Went to emissions testing and it failed as suspected. In January I'll register it as an antique so I won't. Have to fool with emissions.

Car runs amazing. The glove box rattles but that's about it

Nashville · 11-16-2021, 09:37 AM

So I'm going to be changing the coilovers out. These are just way too tight. Hitting any bump is a nightmare. So I'll be researching what coilovers are soft, but let me lower it super low.

Throwing on the carbon lip to see how it looks

Alfisti · 11-16-2021, 10:18 AM

What? How did it fail?

rcracin · 11-16-2021, 10:40 AM

Maybe try the classic koni yellows and ground control coilovers?

I think KW makes something for the ek too.

JDM ecu, it won't communicate with the plug they use. It's all good, it'll be an antique January first

Nashville · 11-17-2021, 02:27 PM

Look at that! Drove it to work again

Doctor_X · 11-17-2021, 03:21 PM

Rear bumper on! Looks clean bud!

I’m liking the OE silver lip mas!

Yeah me too. This is my 17's, bigger wing, big aggressive lip - look.

I have my 16's at home that I'll run with the smaller wing, and less aggressive lip

Nashville · 11-18-2021, 10:02 AM

Having a problem with the brakes dragging at low speeds. It's keeping me up at night lol
