    EK Build, JDM/USDM Coilovers, works, buddyclub

    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


    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


    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.

    welcome abourd matey!

    just wondering how much was that rpm gauge?
    you could do a ek gli cluster swap and would look alot cleaner.

    worried about mismatching milage? no worries, here.

    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
