Well Ive been a member of the this site for a while just mainly been doing a lot of reading. This is my 3rd civic, first was a 99 then got a 98 that I put alot of time into fixing up after I dragged it out of a junk yard. I got my 04 almost a year ago and had a lot of plans for it but a back operation put things on hold til the first of the year. Its pretty much stock. When I first got the car it had clear tail lights. I cant stand them. So I replaced them with oem. Put a short ram intake and exhaust on it. It had 2.5" exhaust but that was a bit much for non turbo so I dropped it back to 1.75". I dont plan on doing anything major just a drop, wheels and a few other exterior changes. Check out my pics and let me know what you think. But be nice!! http://photobucket.com/imdstrbd

Wow, it's not often a member sticks around for two years before they make their first post

Looks really clean, I love Rally Red 04-05 em2s, the 6th gen you had before was pretty nice too.

Well I first joined when I had my 99 ex then I sold it before I made my first post. But here lately Ive been just reading and checking out the DIY stuff on mods people do.

Well it will be tax time before I get back to what I had planned to do. But I think im going with 16". You can put a 55 series tire on it and still get a decent ride. I had 17 on my black 99 and after I dropped it I didnt care for the way it rode. Thanks anyways.

Thanks guys. There isnt a lot of 7th gen around this area mainly 6th gen. some clean, some riced out and some just ragged out. Most people around here think that a spoiler and exhaust and they have a race car which makes it hard for me. I get alot of V8's sitting beside me at a light wanting to race. I usually just sit there an extra sec. after the light turns. Its peppy for what it is but its no race car. Later on I plan on building a dohc to drop in but thats later on down the road. Its still a daily driver. The whole exhaust deal... I work at a garage and we have built several ucars (for you that know what one is) and I played with exhaust a bunch on them. Too big and it kills your bottom end. Dropping half an inch on the exhaust felt like it gave it 5hp. (I know it didnt) But it did pick up the low end torque just a touch. Anyone else around here in the North Wilkesboro area?
