Hi, my name is Tony. I drive a 97 honda civic. I came here because I wanted to learn something about the domestics. I found this site through autoforumuniverse.com because I am usually at hondacivicforum.com and I know these sites are simlar. Hopfully you guys are friendly to me even tho I'm a ricer (lol)... Anyway I just thought I would introduce myself before I stay for awhile.

 

Welcome to the forums, as long as you don't hate, we won't hate.

 

Admiting it is the first step. lol welcome to the bored, what exsactly do you have done to your car?

 

Nope, not here to hate. Just to learn.

lol, Well I wasn't going to post a picture of my car because I'm probably gonna get laughed at but since you ask (btw you guys aren't going to hurt my feelings if you tell me you don't like it, so if you want to comment I encourage it.)....


A shortened mod list would be:
Interior: Custom black interior (stock is grey), sparco steering wheel, sparco shift ****, dc sports short shifter, Bomz racing seats, custom led lighted gauges, no name racing petals.
Audio/visual: Xbox, 7" touchscreen Jensen head unit, Alpine type-r 6x9 rear speakers, Rockford 6" front speakers.
Exterior: Blitz body kit, z3 fenders, way too big of a wing, lambo door kit, type-r grill,black housing headlights, green under body neon kit, 18" white RS Limited Rims, and 5% tint.
Performance: (if you can call it that) Ebay cold air intake is all that I have done myself. The previous owner put a muffler on it but it acually almost sounds like a nice catback. My plans from here on is that I'm getting a dc sports 4-2-1 ceramic coated header and a Greddy Evo2 catback then ZEX direct port kit and running a 50 shot.

If I could do this all over again I would probably just get a carbon fiber lip kit and then just motor work but you live and learn I guess right?

 

I like your sig, definitely have a lot of show in that car, you consider a turbo, or maybe some internals on your motor? So that way you could change it to "lots of show, lots of go" It looks pretty good, have a question for you though, how well do your lambos work? I have a friend who wants to put them on her scion tc, and I've haven't seen any that work as smoothly as the real deal so I've discouraged her from doing that, but if you have positive things to say about them then I might reconsider.

 

Welcome to the forums. Nice car you got there.

 

Thanks TPony.

I'm not going to turbo this one, just sticking with the small shots of nitrous. I would like to get a hatch some time and turbo it but that will be a long time from now. If I ever do the internals it will be a while because I want to do it myself and I have to make sure I know what I'm doing because if I get stuck no one will be able to help me. As for the lambos, if she is going to do it make sure she gets the real brand "Vertical Doors Inc." because I got ebay ones and I have been having problems with the stocks lossing their power and cant't hold the door up anymore so I had to replaced them. They are a pain for a daily driver for some people, they don't bother me but some ppl don't like geting to open and close them a lot because it takes longer than a normal door.

 

Welcome to the board.Nice ride,and Nice rides in the background too! lol

 

turbo on a B16 motor is worthless. He'll be pushing 160 wheel horsepower. I used to have a 97 Acura GSR Integra. With a turbo set up pushed 210 to the wheel, didn't feel like messing with internals or the motor. I had rota slip streams and a lip kit on it also. Then sold it cause I wanted something rear wheel drive and convertible. Mustang Gt sounded great. Wanted a Cobra or Roush but insurance would be too much I was 19 two years ago. But hey welcome!

 

Nice Ride! Welcome. Alot of people here have imports as well for DDs (also have '04 si) And you know we have to modify everything!
