This is going to be super embarassing.

Bought this car so stock...........Bought it for 900 bucks. Fixed up the simple clutch cable tensioner nut and i drove away with a car that came out costing more than what i bought it for

List of parts:
Jdm Ef2 front end (radiator support, one piece headlights, ef2 metal hood, ef2 jdm one piece headlight fenders with quarter moldings and sidemarkers, ef2 chrome grill, ef2 filler piece, and jdm ef2 front bumper with chrome) drive 16 hours straight to SD right at the border of mexico

Jdm ef2 side moldings with chrome pinstripe

Jdm ef2 rear bumper with chrome(not included) brand new

Jdm ef2 bronze glass (threw away jdm ef2 door shells)

Jdm sohc dual carb 16v door decals

Jdm ef2 91 rear taillights with chrome trim, and ef2 4wd formula garnish

Jdm ef2 rear spoiler with LED

Jdm ef2 power folding mirrors complete

Jdm ef2 front lip

Jdm ef2 projector foglights with rare jdm ef2 bumper bracket and rubber grommets

Jdm EF optional headlight washers (wiring, switch, nozzles, hoses, pumps, lid, missing reservoir tank)

Honda optional brown center console

Upgraded a few things from the DX trim to convert it to an "EX"

Mpfi swap from the dpfi i had before, Jdm SOHC ZC with dual carb head

exedy stage 1 clutch with lightended flywheel

Custom 1 1/4 inch piping for that super low dumped status to prevent sparks and unwanted attention

Function and form type one coilovers FOR EG using eg forks (custom farication to get it low.....id tell you but id have to kill you......)


WEDsport autobahn mesh 15x7 +10 offset with cool knock off center caps With federal formoza 165-45-15 tires.


Id say being low is no game, You have to pay to play.

Already cracked 2 SI transmissions not too long ago, and cracked a steel oil pan


pics will be posted asap.

I was actually so sure i was going to buy a 1991 honda civic sedan..........that my stupid ass self bought a rare kaminari aero bodykit before the car. So weeks pass and i had a body kit laying in my room, with no car.

this was the guys car i got it off of............had nice plans for the kit, but with one job and low money i was kind of left to changes




well then i bought my sedan for 900 dollars, hella stock ugly 1991 honda civic DX charcoal grey and was alright for the price but dents here and there.



go forward a little bit and i couldnt wait to install the bodykit: put the sideskirts on backwards too




bought rear mudflaps:


Came up on some one piece headlights for 100 then needed cash and sold them


Changed over my busted dx trim for some lx trim:



Then of course cant forget HID


Wink mirror to stack up stickers:


Oem hoodbra for the civic:

As soon as things started to get better for me with money situation i started stacking up rare parts
like oem special edition center garnish


oem trunk rack


some fake visors and painted the door trim



Bought coilovers for ef the first time, gotta admit i didnt know what i was doing


monster trucking with beefy tires


then lowered


Then when things couldnt get any better i found a job to support my hobby
and new parts just kept coming in







^hated the ****ing scraping sounds in the wheel wells

Got a rear disk brake conversion with 40/40 prop valve, EX big brake master cylinder 15/16



then found another set of wheels and got rid of the enkies and had to buy adapters.......one of my few ****ty stages





in my mind i had that low offset thought, but didnt have the right wheels




kind of embarrassing




****ing 14's


and so i hated the look and the stupid scraping once more that i got rid of them and bought steelies:
And sold the body kit to get cash, gave the bumper with it and got an ugly 88 bumper


got a few new bodyparts to just prevent using bondo and filler:


And couldnt stand the 88 front end and quickly found a replacement front end that was sorta clean.



jdm ef2 wing


and my og's

installed the jdm rear wing:


new parts again


another ****ty faze:



As soon as i met this guy things changed, and he gave me light to what was the best for my car:



so i began painting my car, tried to make it one color


and since i was already taking apart my car, i decided to convert my car to an LX, so i swapped over my whole interior harness and plug it directly into my engine harness










again.......i tried


15x8 +25 offset with 195-45-15 and i got rid of my ****ing coilovers...........wtf?!


So i cut my springs and i didnt really get low, ride sucked balls too









and i found out how to get lower:


also bought power folding mirrors

so new tires too:




still got lower too:





and when my car was at its best stages........i found an ef2 front end and couldnt pass it up.......and they said it was hard to find.

also got a momo prototipo


then drilled off the spot welds



and 16hours on nonstop driving and we install the front end without sleeping........what a night




and again


and buisness with N1 lead me to more parts that they no longer have
bronze glass and jdm side moldings with chrome






headlight washer kit(partsofit)


oem door decals

remember this is all fast forwarded throughout last feb 23 2009

and parts again WTF:

projector oem foglights, oem ef2 lip, and jaf badge






and installed and cutout my headlight washers







and it stayed slammed






then sold the eg omnipower coilovers


raised up a bit on cut springs again


and things went wrong..........cracked my tranny and my engine was done, piston rings were dead


homie nikki totalled his ef9 hatch, so i helped him out with cash and bought his ZC





seriously dont ask me why but for some reason i kept selling my suspension, couldnt figure out how to get low, but this is current setup now

and ****ers backed into my car.............so i bought new parts and began paint


jdm rear bumper











oh and another hoodbra






and now


ran outta paint for the hood and bumper, so i made it a dx :)

now i gotta save money for real cash and bodywork, this is where i will set all of my priority now. hope it give you guys a good idea of the hard work i put into my car, either good or bad. still staying low


plans next are paint for yr 87m-4 and cutting my shock tower(boxing) and get a little lower.


current stance is at 19 1/4 - 19 3/8 inch at the top of the fender wells

At the time i really needed cash so i had to sell my bodykit. If i never had money situations i would have kept it up till this day. Would've been the first ef2 front end conversion with a kaminari aero bodykit. Didnt look bad its just didnt have the right wheels to pull it off.


Thanks for the compliment though, happy it doesnt look bad. :thumbup: Now i just have to save money for a real paintjob, which is all im focusing on now.


Things to do:
Finish converting to 91 brown interior(dash, seats, and trim)
Polish wedsport autobahn
Cut and box shock towers(arms resting on top)
Reinforce transmission(to prevent more cracked transmissions)
Do slight wire tuck, clean the engine bay and engine

the car is great man, i wish i had half the ef2 parts you have on your car it's just so hard to find the parts here on the east coast..smh

we both have very similar styles, i'm going to do a dart izumi style exhaust(instead of your bozoku style) i'm going to convert the car to zc exterior(instead of the ef2 front) and have a wheel setup with lots of camber. but your sedan is great,it somewhat of an inspiration to me.
