Not quite my first car, but the first car that I bought. Before my Civic, I had a nice '95 Wrangler that I er.. blew the engine on.

I've been around the forums for a while just reading posts, and now I figured I'd get more involved around here.

A few months ago, I bought a decent shaped '98 Civic DX Coupe. (I'm not a big fan of hatches) It's pretty flawless with the exception of a single rust spot, a few minor dings, and a small crack in the bumper. Other than getting ripped off on the price, it's just a work in progress. Just doing my research now and deciding what to do first. I/H/E isn't an option... Swapping the engine out whenever I decide what to toss in.

As we speak, I'm waiting for my drill to charge so I can finish cleaning my headlight lenses. I have to say, 3M's Lens Cleaner Kit works great. Haven't polished one of the lenses yet, but it is a very NOTICEABLE difference. Due to the lighting, the pictures don't really show enough.

Before the questions get asked, NO I did not paint my hubcaps black. They were black when I got them... Along with the Pepboys air intake that isn't even clamped right, and no hoses are plugged into.

i like it, looks good. DX eh but if your going to do a B, K, or H swap then sweet. Anyways id pick up a fujita or aem short ram to replace the pepboys intake and just hold out til you decide what you want to do.

+1 for the thought of the 3M lens cleaner

DX doesn't really bother me too much. I'm used to manual windows, and honestly like the feel of them haha. Much less to worry about with wiring. Probably saving some weight as well. Converting to Auto Windows/Locks is a recurring thought on my mind, but it's not high up on my list.

If you couldn't notice, my driver side window is really screwed up. Regulators broken on the back where the glass screws in. Ordered a new one today.

Looks good, it will look even better once you wash it, but I'm sure the weather is still wintery in jersey. Welcome to the forum!

btw, where in jersey- are you around the trenton or rosell park area?

Lol yeah. Was gonna wash it today, but apparently we're getting quite a bit of snow here starting tonight and going through Friday/Saturday.

I'm about 30mins from Trenton and about an hour from Rosell Park

Is it just me or is the drivers side window off the track? Looks like it's falling forward lol.

Lol yeah, it is. It's a little screwed up. The regulator bracket in the back is broken. Ordered a new one yesterday. Honda wanted 155 for it? I ended up getting it for 35 from an autoparts affiliate.
