Saying hi from VA

Hi Im Mike and Im a alcoholic. Oops wrong group introduction....

Anyways, lol I just bought my 2000 Civic EX. She is white with white rims. Has a intake and exhaust set up. As well as racing front seats, 4 point harrness, system, and a wing and vented fenders. I have purchased a set of drop springs but need to sell system before inistalling per system is weighing the back end down. She has 88,000 on new engine and 120,000 on the body.

She is a lil rough. Needs new bumpers and side skirts. Guy before put 96 ti 98 vented fenders on so purchased correct year vented fenders (they are black though so may paint before installing) I have always been into the import world however this is my first true import. Played with American cars before. So looking forward to tons of playing and learning as much as I can. So I gota fix some of the prev owners mistakes.

Also been researching the hard to cold start but warm starts just fine and she also warmed up idles at 1500 rpms. Warms up idling at 1000 rpm.

Re: Saying hi from VA

Ok, sorry about the delayed response back. Came down with the flu. heres a couple pictures of her from when I bought her. The kid before had no clue he had a 2000 civic. He believed it was a 96 to 98 apparently. He had 96 to 98 fenders on her. I have since replaced the fenders to be correct. however the new ones are black. and I have removed the wing. Also have removed the system to re apolster it and because the wing was letting water leak into trunk so need to do some work on the new trunk and swap out before system goes back in. Have the drop springs but no torque wrench. Will post more pics as I can get them uploaded.

I think DC is about 2 hours away roughly. Im about 30 minutes from Va beach.
