Just thaught I'd post some pics of my ride today. Let me know what you think.

95VTEC

Nice ride! What suspension set up does it have?

DJ Silkie

Just a standard set of lowering springs nothing speacial. I don't remember what brand they are. I'm saving for air ride right now though. I need something with a bit better handling.

-gags- idk dude its nice and clean but -gags again- the kits and the color of the rims just dont settle with me. what motor? i hate it how honda wasnt consistent with valve cover on our 5th gens

D16Z6_owner

that dosent to be an aem cai as listed in ur profile.....

DJ Silkie

Lol did I list is as an AEM cold air? my bad...yeah It's an RS Akimoto Warm Air Intake. I'll have to change it

DJ Silkie

Oh come on it's not that bad. I happen to rather love the look of kits. I guess it's all personal preference. I think that bodykits are rather apealing when applied correctly. To me, they are an artistic cosmetic upgrade that gives the car character and an agressive look. Much more than just a lowered "sleeper".

As far as my rims go, They aren't on my favorite's list either. They were on there when I baught the car and havn't got new ones yet. I'll be getting a set of 18" jet black rims with a polished lip. Not sure what brand yet. Still shopping.

My engine blows *****. I do what I can to make it look as nice as it can get, but it still has alot of work to be done on it. My civic is definately all show and no go. It's slow as hell. But oh well, I don't race. I wanna get a v-tec. But I just don't have the money to afford an engine swap.

thats not an ex btw the ex has a D16Z6. look on the block right next to the header to see the engine you got. when i got my car it had a bunch of gay **** too. the guy had pulled the vents out and painted them white. the first thing i did was paint them back grey. i would much rather have a sleeper. with a sleeper it seems people seem to respect you more.

DJ Silkie

Wow lol. Turns out the guy that sold me the car didn't even know what he had. If it's not an EX then what DO I have? He ripped off all the emblems so idk.

Yeah, that is true though. Having a sleeper would earn you more respect. But I just can't bring myself to like the look of a sleeper. Personally I think if you are going to mod your car, mod it to a point where it fits you. And sleepers just aren't me. I wouldn't necessarily call myself a "ricer" though. Then I'd be driving a lime green civic with a 5" exaust and a $50 snap on aluminum spoiler.

D16Z6_owner

the engine model # is stamped on the block to the left of the exhaust manifold (header) go and look and i could tell you

DJ Silkie

Ok, I have a D16B7. That means that it's either a DX, CX, or LX. I'm sure it's not a CX though because my particular civic isn't a canadian model. I'll bet mostly on the DX. D16B7 Models have 102hp stock, I wonder what all the aftermarket pieces in my engine did to that.

D16Z6_owner

have you ran it at the local 1/4 mile track?

DJ Silkie

Naw not yet. I hadn't planned to at first. I am curious as to where I am right now though. I know I'm most likely not very fast. 115hp maybe.

looks nice except for the tails, idk about the fenders though

DJ Silkie

The Tails were one of those things that was already on the car when I baught it. I don't like them either. I'm saving for smoked lights to be a bit sleeker with the car.

D16Z6_owner

well what all is done to it?

DJ Silkie

Theres a full list of all my mods on my profile. Also you can check out my profile on CarDomain here...

D16Z6_owner

yea all that stuff would give you 15 -20 hp tops. did you put that stuff on or did i come like that?

DJ Silkie

I have a huge nack to screw even the simplest of things up, so I had my mechanic do everything performance wise. I had a local bodyshop do the kit and paint. I pretty much didn't "do" any of it. The only pieces that came on the car when I got it were the headlights, taillights, rims/tires...and I think that's it. pretty much every piece I don't like as much lol.

D16Z6_owner

how much did the header cost cause i think that i might look into getting one. i aready looked around and found that megan headers are like $170 and a lot of people have them.

DJ Silkie

My Focuz headers costed me about $150. From what I've seen, around my area, I know quite a few people that have a set of DC Sports Headers that work pretty well. DC puts out good performance. Mine were just a bit more affordable.

D16Z6_owner

too bad dc headers are like 400 bucks. have you looked into any engine management units? ive been lookin but cant find a stand-alone for an automatic transmission. it looks like ill just have to settle with e-manage piggyback if i ever get around to doing anything drastic

95speedT

i saw a set of DCs new with ceramic coating for $277

DJ Silkie

yeah it depends on where you look. You can get things from eBay for pretty cheap...personally I do pretty much all my shopping from http://www.AndysAutoSport.com they have pretty much everything you can possably think of. If it goes in a car...they carry it.
