Muirsy build thread

I picked up a 2004 civic se coupe almost three years ago at a dealer auction with 60 000 kms on it for $9000. The second I picked it up I already had plans running through my head of what I wanted to do it. The car stayed stock for almost a year until I finally started getting some money to put in to it.

The mods so far:

PDM front lip
HFP sides skirts
Type-r rear lip
Oem spoiler
Rota grids 17x7.5 +45 offset
20mm bolt on spacers
Type-r grill
Yellow fog lights
Blacked out headlights with 6000k hids
Painted mirrors and door handles
Gold blacks works racing tow hook
Gold skunk2 LCAs
Gold beaks bar
Skunk2 full coilovers
Front RSX type-s Leather seats
Alpine head unit
Apex%u2019i N1 cat back
Ebay header
High flow cat with custom down pipe

Mods no longer on the car
DAI rims
Tein s-tech lowering springs
Type-r front lip
Mugen front lip
2 10 inch subs

Future mods
RSX type-s rear sway bar
Polished subframe brace
CF hood
Tint
Sedan grill

First mod was apex'i n1 catback and DAI rims

I can't believe its almost been three years since I got the car. I have learned so much from working on it myself and being on the forums. I hope you guys like my car as much as I do.

Re: Muirsy build thread

Everyone has build threads now :D!

The rear suspension looks great, are you planning on adding a sway bar and subframe brace at some point?

Re: Muirsy build thread

yup looking at getting a asr polished subframe brace and i was suppose to pick up a rsx type s sway bar of a guy but he flopped on me so still currently looking for one

Re: Muirsy build thread

I've told you before that i was jealous of your car. It looks good man :)

Re: Muirsy build thread

Wow, that is a strange color combination red and gold, but it works oddly enough o.o

Re: Muirsy build thread

The car looks amazing

Re: Muirsy build thread

good looks. i just picked up my rsx rear sway from a scrapyard a few days ago, if you didn't already think of that lol

Re: Muirsy build thread

^ i was suppose to pick up one a month ago but the seller never showed up

Re: Muirsy build thread

I'd love to have a look at all the parts you aren't using. could have a shopping spree haha

Re: Muirsy build thread

most parts i have lying around are just stock parts.. i have a canadian si header, stock struts, stock springs, stock air box, stock lower control arms

Re: Muirsy build thread

polished stock lcas look pretty good, you just need a couple spare hours and a few materials.

Re: Muirsy build thread

^ I'll sell someone my stock ones if someone is interested in polishing them
