Hello everyone, I am also new to this site. I just bought a 2001 civic. Trying to fix things on it, and get new stuff for it also.
I live in North Phoenix between the 17 and 51 right under the 101.

It's a ex coupe Silver. Has ugly 17" chrome wheels, and a small dent in the drivers fender. From what I have seen, it has a full dc header to exhaust system, AEM intake, dc lower tie bar. I'm guessing the sway bars come stock on the ex now? if not I have a pretty small sized sway bar in the back. Stock suspension although 1-2 stuts feel blown. Clutch is shot.

Here is a pic.




Past cars I have owned were:
2006 Acura TSX
1999 JDM Integra
1996 Civic ex (converted to 2000 si)

Tell me about it, I can't seem to give them away. My wife will not let me buy wheels. My only hope is to trade them.

Re: Another new member

maybe get some cheap factory steelies on ebay with hubcaps? and you could upgrade the rear sway with a larger 19mm version from the acura rsx.

I see you've been introduced to some of the *** hole members of the 7th gen community haha

the blue head lights looked decent, nice to see something different.

Re: Another new member

Thanks everyone. And thanks for the suggestions also. I will look into the rsx sway. My future goals are a 04+ front end, 04+ gauges, 04+ tail lights. Also a nice lowering kit and lip kit. Of course I need different wheels.

My wife likes my wheels, and I like her alloy corolla wheels. Maybe a 5 lug conversion would be a good idea

Mindbomber, I'm used to that type of thing. There is a lot of people who are afraid to mod their car, so they bash others. Of course lots of other people do a clean job modding so of course everyone wants to be like them.
My goal was to always have something that no one else had so when people ask where they can get it, people will refer them to me.
