Rep Power: 540 Well you all might as well know what kind of car I bought
after alot of deliberating and far too much procrastonating....I bought a damn car...
I bought a car that I know I can trust.....one that has potential to look hot and one that with the right amount of money and work can be a fairly decent project car.
*drum roll bitches*
I bought my Civic...lol. They dropped the buy out and waved the payment on the more than 10,000 km's I was over on my lease. So I financed it from Honda over 3 years.
Plans include the following....
OEM lip kit
15" Rota Sub Zero's
New Coilovers...not sure what brand yet.
All new Sway bars and tie bar
end links
new seats....likely RSX seats
I'm not sure what to do with the engine yet....but I think I'm lookin at a swap next year.
I'm still sellin my intake to Erik and my header is still up for grabs.
Steering wheel is coming off this week too...just waiting for the cable reel to come in so I can hook up the cruise on my OEM wheel. I might look into a sparco or momo wheel later on. I'll let you know ASAP Caryn.
Anyway - I need blacked out headlights people...and I guess I'll get another grill...lol.
oh well....rebuild!!!

As for your plans, if you are thinking about RSX seats, you could perhaps talk with Shaman about buying his (if he hasn't already sold it - last I knew he didn't).. Should be an easy swap in for coupe > coupe. for sale thread
Though those new wheels you are looking to get would be illegal (as you'd need to remove the airbag).. might want to slow down a little so the cops that pull you over don't see that as well
I'd love to be kept updated, as well you mentioned going for another grill. Are you going for another altezza grill ? As I've looked on eBay and couldn't find one Let me know where you see one, if in fact its what you are planning to get. I know Dezod carries it at $60 though And wouldn't mind hearing your opinions on your coilover choices
