thought i would put some pics of civic up now a i got a few

the raised bonnet



striped inside all back including sound deadening roof lining out and also door cards just need to do front carpet and sound deadening )



cut some of my bumper out got the lil one on other side to do its a bastard with a hacksaw blade and no saw lol

also drilled some holes in the air box till that comes out




the lowness on the front wheel arch

soon to be lower (next week or so) getting set of coilovers be that low or even lower


and i like this pic of it my mate took it



plans now are

coilovers put um on
strip rest out
maybe a camber kit for it
15s - i want rotas
rollcage

i think my mum still thinks am selling it hahahaha

o yeah where can i get perspex from

cool dude, get that nova sold or summat!

ditch the 17's get some 15's or all the lightweight stuff is pointless

thats what im doing

also, what engine is it?

is it vtec?

pretty sure it will be either 1.5 or 1.6 none vtec (90bhp ish)

Nice foundation for a tidy car but heres my reccomendations to make it look a bit nicer

C) Put the bonnet back down to normal, the "ive been in a front end shunt" look doesnt do anything for me.
H) Keep the wheels, its never gonna be a monster unless you spend big money on engine. Lensos are great wheels and to downgrade to 15's to save few kg and knock few seconds of an already poor quarter mile time is a mistake. go with the aesthetics of the lenso 17;s everytime.
A) General bodywork tidy up, bumper needs fitting better and some bits youve cut out of front bumper needs tidying up, you dont want it looking like one of phils cars now do you
V) Ride height is perfect so maybe some investment into crystal headlights to bring it up to speed.

other than that nice motor and ill follow its progress with interest.

i deffo wudnt go for coilovers, wud be a waste of money as its already really low.

have u lifted the bonnet for looks or to cool the engine a bit?

i like it mate. i realy like the lenso's so im not sure on going for 15's.

coilovers would be good, make it handle a hell of alot better, but winding them all the way down is not going to be best for the handling at all.

you dont want it looking like one of phils cars now do you

what is the point in that comment?

we know you dont like me, just keep pointless and un-welcome comments to yourself

15's look a hell of a lot better than 17's. 17's on small cars are for men with somethng to compensate for, look at the difference 15's made to mine and matthews car

olly, its your car so do exactly what you want to it.

from what you told me the other night i'd go with what you said and if you need a hand to sort the oil stem seals just let me know.

thanks D

spent about 2 and half hours last night taking carpet out and the front sound deadening out just got 3 lil bits to finish off had to go out last night

get pics up later

o yeah olstar its the 1.5 lsi model

15's are much better looking imo... especially on older cars.

I love the track look...
