thanx 4 the info
im definately gonna get one



and ghost: its a hatch

[**Ghost**]

i never knew they still had hatches around in 1998?

Ur a lucky bastard for picking up a black one... I was looking at a black one but it was completely thrashed... gutted cat, stupid intake system, the works

so wot are ur plans for it?

[LatinoHatchCrap]

:thumbsup: treat that baby with care

[skoota]

Yeh Ghost - coupes started in '99 and finished in 2000 dude. :D

[**Ghost**]

i wonder if we're giong to get the USA coupes for the current civics for the last 2 years... the USA coupes look pretty good

[A'PEXi]

just go to honda and get a stocko lip.... not sure how much its going to cost you there, because all honda dealers charge different money, or so im told.... or a spoon cf lip like trav said :P...

interior light is easy, just go to any shop like autobarn and buy one..... if you dont know which one, take the cover off, turn the light off and pull it out, no screws etc involved in taking it out, becareful as it might be hot :)

grats on the buy btw :D

[luzinit]

got any blacker?....dont do it... black rims and black car looks crap (in my opinion). go for white. or even silver, hyper silver or even gold over black...

[LatinoHatchCrap]

Hey dude. Just paint your rims black/bronze/gun metal yourself. save the $$$ and get some springs and nice tyres :thumbsup:

[gelo]

oh yeah
how come i 4get!
tyres!

hmmmmmmmmmmm i could paint the rims
ive seen it b4, its an idea

im planning 2 get re01's after i wear out these stock tyres(which r pretty new)

You'll drive around for a while thinking the car is great, then one day you'll loose to a car you thought you'll kill....

Or you'll sit in a VTi-R that's been heavily modified and love the power....

Upset with the the lose, and/or had the experience in a more powerful civic you take to moding your own car...

It'll happen ;)

[ML]

SLAMED on white 18s

[sesshoumaru]

gold / black looks hot i reckon.

the man is right..

[gelo]

i no it sux to lose
but im definately not into modding
mainly coz i got no money

i dont mind a little cosmetics
but modding im not so sure
i guess im just 2 much of a stock lover

thanx anyway guys

ive always thought black on black would be pretty mad...
apparently not?

[VTi-RT]

Well everyone starts slow...

airfilter, then exhaust, then some wheels, then suspension ;)

If you live in your car you'll then think of a nice stereo system to install :thumbsup:

At this stage you'll think "should I go N/A or Turbo :?:"

[VTi-RT]

Oh, regarding wheel color on a Black Civ.... at the worst Gunmetal or White (White stand outs way too much)....

I would recommend Gold/Silver :thumbsup:

[joneblaze]

Congrats man. Pics in the Appearance forums when you can. :)
You can DIY spray or powdercoat your EK4 stockies and they look great on a lowered EK (especially black...mmm). Bronze or gunmetal look good on the EK4 stock twisties.

[micka]

hahaha "got any blacker?" one of the funniest ads of all time

[gelo]

thanx 4 the tips vti-rt and joneblaze

wot ad is that micka

[micka]

old school ad, think it was for athlete's foot (might be wrong). some bogan was walking up the camera with various shoes saying "got these nikes in black?... got them in black? ... black?" then he walked up with some black nikes and said "got any blacker?"... it was great when it was on

[toE]

congrats dude! :)

[LatinoHatchCrap]

you dont need a lot of $$$ to start off with. Just know how to use it and dont spend it on worht less crap.
The EK4 can be a quick car but you have to know what it likes and what it doesnt.
Its all about what approach you take to your car. If you treat it with respect you wont "sticker" it or spend 3k on 18s :thumbsdown:

[VTi-R Civic]

Congrats Dude. You won't regret getting the VTi-R. :)

[MTX BOY]

im planning 2 get a ctr grill 2

[Kit]

hehehe,
nice car, thats exactly how mine looked too when i bought it, except it had red badging.

you wouldn't be interested in a spare EK4 grill in factory black would ya?

you can cut out the inside like i did then mesh it.. looked good too.

[VTi-RT]

Same here, cut the inside parts off and mesh.... if it stuffs up buy a CTR one... no loss ;)

[VTi-RT]

if you can, find a civic coupe front bar without the plastic inserts and get a CTR lip as well...

you'll be really looking like a CTR in no time :D

[joneblaze]

......So it begins. :P

[LatinoHatchCrap]

clllleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnn nn!

[ATSE]

[VTi-RT]

The plastic is soft, you can cut it with a stanley knife ;)
