planning on full interior retrim, new stereo install, big brakes and more suspension gear and finish my high hp engine and get it running in the car etc etc.... so much stuff that can be done
dont worry about the JDM freaks here..
your car looks ****ing nice!
although i do find it humerous that you took it to the strip with gestaults lol

I do have a 2nd set of rims, Teg Powdercoated black fat 5s... but not photos yet...
what did you get down the strip..?
HaHa - Ye its hot ! sumthin diff - Take pride like me, Drivin my Pink Thing HaHaHaH !!!
ouch.. when i saw the front.. it kinda turned me on..
untill i looked at the side..
it would ov been kinda nicer if the front door handles wernt shaved..
as it looks super freaky..
like a mermaid.
Wow, looks amazing! I'm not normally a fan of "showy" cars, but that looks superb!
Just adding MY VIEW... I think it could look ultra-sleek as some people said, if you ditched the bodykit for something sleeker/with OEM lines, and found some smoother/nicer rims.
As can be evidenced here - where the side/back of your car looks sleek like a 5th gen lude or something!

tru i guess... i think it would look more "coupe" like if it still had front door handles haha it looks sorta ugly in that pic above cause it doesnt have side skirts to match the rest of the body... but i think its looking pretty hot these days *thumbs up*
willing to sell ur GF?
ahahah cheeky horn dog, car looks nice but it needs some kind of side skirt
yeh yeh pumped thanks for the feedback guys!! that photo was an earlier photo when it was still under a bit more construction. It does have side skirts now and new rims shown on the first page.
I also picked up some black honda fat 5s a few weeks back, hopefully the jdm lovers might like? does look too bad either with the black 15s.
and yes would be very interesting to see what it would turn out with a more suttle kit, such a a lip kit with smoother curvers and lines (which are growing on me more these days.
hehe i like mermaids!
Thanks guys good on yo!
:thumbsup: for effort. :D
Its not a sedan ... But:
http://world.altavista.com/babelfish...ages%2f239.htm
Its been 'converted' to a 2 dr
urghh that civic is pure rice !! looks almost OK like an STi Coupe from the side.. if you MUST do this, then i'd suggest doing it properly and buy a set of coupe doors and extend the length of the doors etc.. similar to STREET MACHINE's EA Falcon coupe they made years and years ago.. but even still the LWB jsut doesnt look right... or alternatively do as Kyle suggested and convert an EJ8 to EG front end..
good on you for doing something different!
bit bright for my liking, but much respect for all the time/effort that mustve gone in
i like it man its different, but what vt3c said bout gettin coupe doors would have been a good idea too, but as i said i like it.
hell ide own that ride for sure!
great effort..
but no door handles is fkn anoying!..
u dont know how fkn anoying it is to work on those cars with no handles i just wanna punch a hole thru the door
lol - gettin coupe doors means alot of metal cuttin yea???
N this way u just weld em shut n smooth em so easier this way ..
But its hott
Id get a em n put an eg front... But its cheaper doin an eg like dat !!!
lol yeah thumbs up for effortQuote:

still not a fan. i think the combo of the hood and the paintjob has a bit of fugness about it
i wont even go into the kit, monster tacho and chromies.
i can appreciate the effort gone into and i'm not in the jdm bandwagon, but i feel there's a difference between a hot clean car and a ricebucket
too much HaterADE bein drunk hea !!!
no worries, guys thanks for all the comments, positive and negative.. it is a 1 off and in a catagory of its own and its expected there will be supporters and haters.
But il say this.. this is FAR beyond your standard honda civic ricebucket...
also yes... getting coupe/hatch doors does sound good in theory and would look the part too but the amount of work that have to be done to the frame to make it work, not to mention, interior apulstry seat mounting, engineering and complainceing....
Ps please keep this a friendly topic.. i want to hear EVERYONES opinion good and bad but i dont want offensive or rude posts... i dont think thats unrealistic either
also mate i have electronic remote door poppers and a mechanic push button on the top of the door window seal that you push down to open. this makes it legal, useable while still haveing the shaved lookQuote:

im sure u are well aware of my position lyle
but nevertheless, i shall restate
I LOVE UR CAR
i'm deffinately not a fan of that example, even in the flesh it's not my cup of tea but the idea is there. it's good to see different things being done. i say do it (just dont paint it shiney blue and put 50" chromies on it)
Thats hecitc...!!!

Lyle you've been aware of my feelings on this car from the beginning:) really dont see how some small minded people can call it a rice bucket, ive seen far worse examples degrading our streets, this has a combination of smooth lines, street presence and power.
well done, challenge insults with more insults.Quote:

Yeah fair enough insults on a forum yes i agree rather immature, however, people (not saying yourself) will critisise lyle for what he's doing, saying its stupid why bother etc etc, when all they've done is gone to autobahn or where ever, slapped on some chromes, clear lights, get on the wagon like every other tom dick and harry, then pay him out calling his car a rice bucket? when this guy is actually making the extra effort to pull something off that you wouldnt see every day. As with most people in the scene, they''ll do whatever everyone else does just so they wont risk being called an idiot or wanker for going a different direction.Quote:

also it isnt ur car so why are you defending it so bad?
even the owner doesnt give a f***
who cares wtf ppl on a forum say mate.. if u like his car that much build another one.. then tell the people on the forum u either like it or hate it
every cars got haters not just this one.
Because mate ive been with this car since it was nothing but a stocker, there's a polite way to tell someone your not a fan of the car, rather than saying that just looks shit, or what a waste of money, and im not getting fired up mate, im just voicing my two cents like everyone else, i just think there's a respectful way to tell someone you like it or not, which most people on here have done, however its not a perfect world so at the end of the day you cant please everyone, only please yourself i guess:)
yes i know that, but man its a forum there are some dumb kients out there thats gonna say somthing to piss u off,
but then again. they might just like stirring shit u know what i mean?
if they dont like it, thats wat there missing out on.
u dont lose anything so brush it off
in the end were all a bunch of honda lovers that are passionate about modifiying our honda!
so lets all be grown up n get along
That is true:) I should be off arguing with the nissans boys jeeze:p
**hi five
**So there
This is a great looking ride! Love the appearance of it! You've made a great effort with it, really.
well done. NICE COUPE =D
haah awsome thanks for all the replys... good reading
dave (50JVNL) really appreciate all your support mate, makes me feel pretty good that someone enjoys my car as much as me and has actually seen it evolve since the day it was bought stock as a rock.
As to all the arguing (contraversy) after owning this car i have been at the conclusion for some time.. that owning something done to such an extreme complete in 1 way ... there will always be people who really like the style and appreciate it to people that think its disgusting and a waste of time/money... when i started this thred a while back i realised this and i knew i would get a responce like this (people like / people hate) im not conplaining and i honestly do welcome all opinions and feedback as long as its done in a respectfull way.
Im more stocked on the fact not so much on how many people have liked it, but the interest it has generated on the forum Good and bad...
Cheers all
finally someone that is ready to accept and appreciate criticism as much as admiration and doesnt run along and have a cry like most people on this forum...Quote:

so whats the next project ;)
I reckon it doesnt look too bad..
Not a fan of shaved boots though..
Lyle your the best YO!
typical rice car from QLD.
i dont mind it, wouldnt do it to my car, but your car looks sick.
look i think any mod, if you like its cool. it's for you, i think what you did required great skill and its awesome... i don't know anyone who's pulled it off, some people find it questionable its feaseability; but honestly who gives a shit.
nice work bud

Reported..
Car looks tough bro alot of people don't appreciate how much time and effort it takes to get your car to that type of standard. Just finished geeting mine kitted and painted. I was down helping the boys work on it and once you see all the prep work and finishing touches that go into a build you learn to appreciate what it takes to get a car looking good. Well done mate.
Cheers.:thumbsup:

Lyle i must say its not my piece of cake, but i definatly see the time and effort you have put into this and dont listen to half these twats on here with there if its not JDM then go home attitude. Nice work mate.
Very creative !! ... love the paint dude
yea meen i dont mind it aye would look almost as nice as rice with a decal or air brush running from the front tyre bottom curvin up towards the tailgate
did a rush job on a air brush stupid google images lol... coulda been better but hey its bed time lol
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...re025acopy.jpg
woah yeyehhhh!! that doesnt look too bad at all! cheers for all the feedback guys!
well you all know i'm a JDM-whore.. so it's not my cuppa tea but i can still appreciate the work you've put into this car !!
the paint work looks immaculate etc.. i much prefer the newer rims in the later pics.. love the shaved door handles, love the frilled door-strips, love the relocated rear number plate.. love the red/clear tail lights.. and good to see you using her at the strip though i suspect all the extra weight didnt help a whole lot.
I like to see people taking the hot-rod approach to customising thier civics !!
time to discover 'Billet alloy'.. and I say forget race-performance as any track work will reap havoc on your filled panels.. invest in some airbags next FTW!
shoulda converted it to pillar less setup as well lol
what do you mean pillarless setup? like inbetween the windows? i thought of turning it into a convertable ! how crazy would that look
should of shave the fuel cap as well :)
Lose the Gaint tacho, makes it look like some bogans pulsar. If you need is as a shift light buy one of those pivot shift lights and run it back to your rpm sensor. But yeah take off the giant tacho. Air brush = gay.
Car is looking tops Lyle. I know you've spent a lot of your own time & effort in this car and its paying off. :thumbsup:
So many styles of cars up here. Its really great to see everyones different tastes and personalities showing through. :cool:
yeah like some of the ol school cadi's lol... if you had the coin I think it could look pretty darn cool top less .. or one step better and jeep the roof but make it a chop top and lower the roof a few inches hot rod style.. I have seen a s15 done and it looks uber sexxy
hmmmm different yes but smart....No
why not just buy a coupe to start with
not a big fan looks kinda silly
What is with the back to front WRX bonnet scoop?
i like the look of it that way + its not just a wank / rice factor, it sits right above my turbo and manifold and the amount of heat that is sucked out of the car is pretty good !
Have the cops said anything to you about that. I know some ppl have been defected for having the back of the bonett raised (wit washers). In case radiator hose or oil lines burst (i know it won't happen to us because we always check and clean our engine bays at least once a week) the cops said it would cover you windshield therefore unsafe/illegal blah blah blah....Quote:

ahh tru, nah no one has said anything like that yet... but cops alwayes come up with something! ahah unfortunately :(
Yeah, if they want to give you a ticket they will find something. I got one once because my wheels are 3mm over the legal limit. I wasn't happy but that's the law so i paid the fine.
How much was it to mount the scoop onto the bonett. I've got an 05 STi one sitting here. I was tempted to put it on for laughs but it looks massive on the civic bonett.
ahh in terms of cost im not sure as everything was done under one bill... i do know however that we tried some resins and they failed every time as they didnt like the heat... so if you do it best bet is go fibreglass...
what size are your wheels... the whole 2sizes larger then standard is a load of shit and false... 15mm over and 23mm under standard rolling diameter is legal in qld
omg uleh your car is the most fully sickest ride ever.
