EK Build, JDM/USDM Coilovers, works, buddyclub

[TyD]

This is my build thread, I have had the car for around 6months so far, it's my 2nd car. I'm still on my Learners though.

This is how I bought the car:

Bone stock, lady owner just what I wanted. Clean slate, no crash history.

First thing that I purchased was tow hooks

Next came the cf spoon rep wing

And then the Simota CAI

And a week after that I got new wheels Work CR KAI 16x7

Then stripped out the seats and gave it a good clean

After that I ordered Buddyclub N+ coilovers and just had to do a photoshop on MS paint to see what it would look like
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/285192_10150397277427516_549672515_10825330_349476 3_n.jpg

I had a little bit of yellow headlight sindrome so I fixed that with Turtle Wax Head Light Resto kit.

A couple of days after my coilovers came.

Coilovers still weren't in, but I had new tyres now it grips a lot better now, better than the warn AD08s that was on there
http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/304720_10150462056657516_549672515_11457592_203707 2017_n.jpg

I shaved and filled the numberplate mounts on the front bar, fixed the stone chips and got it painted, aswell as the boot shaved and painted, side moulds painted, door handles painted and mirrors painted

Got some more bits

Cut out one side of the bar so my pod can get some cold air

And finally after months of having the coilovers sitting there I finally put the front in, but snapped a bolt on it so they're getting taken back out and fixed next week.

New wheels are on the list aswell. Also have a type r wing I need to paint aswell. I was thinking of going something bright, fluro green or something.

[mocchi]

welcome abourd matey!

just wondering how much was that rpm gauge?

worried about mismatching milage? no worries, here.

welcome abourd!!

[sangyz]

Welcome abourd buddy far bit of mods for an L plater must be doing well for yourself lols

[TyD]

Thanks for the comments boys. Cluster swap is in the future.

Bludger - The stickerbombed petrol flap and cluster surround are coming off. I really want to clean it up, make it a little more simple. But the haters sticker fits in too well. I get so much shit for owning a Civic, hahaha.
I got oodles amount of rubbing to start, so I raised it around 20mms but yeah, now taking them out. The inner guards are out and I rolled the guards myself so that should help a fair bit.

Sangyz - I was an apprentice spray painter so every cent I had went into my car haha

[mugen_ctr]

Best to leave the inner guard lining if u like a clean engine lol

[sangyz]

hahaha dw when i was an apprentice mechanic it was same for me all the money i could get went straight to my car :p

^ WOW. I thought works would be more robust. How did this happen?

[TyD]

Lost it around a roundabout this morning. Too much tyre shine + cold tyres?

Had understeer, then turned the other way to go around the roundabout then the rear end kicked out on me and I lost it.

[DakDak]

How fast were you going? Your tires look like new and shouldnt of lost traction.

[EKVTIR-T]

Then going to limp it down to another mates panel shop to get started on fixing it.

Bad luck with the car mate, but you were obviously doing something silly for it to happen. Drive within your experience.

[Stcmon]

i think page 13 was better

[TyD]

Yeah, good ey?

Hmm.. And I was hoping to have this thread not turn into the one like on jdmst.. Oh well.

[u mad?]

don't be kunts. poor fella crashed his car, that's punishment in itself .

[SuperJDM.]

car was looking mighty clean till you fitted a fake set of useless benen tow hook.

and lol @ your driftingisgay... sounded like you tried to drift around the round about but failed.

not hating just saying car looks like it was gonna be super clean till i scrolled down to see stickers
