Well here she is and i love her
Picked her up for a bargain price of £500 (I think its a bargain anyways), 130,000 on the clock,MOT till Nov 08, Tax till end of March, 4 brand new tyres, Stainless steel back box (No name but sounds really nice and meaty) Nuffin wrong with her at all, very smooth and a nice drive, Bits of rust on the rear arch but nuffin major for the price i paid
Plans: Alloys ASAP
Enjoy
This is my mates old one, The one i drove and then fell in love with them and have wanted one ever since, Now i got one
Lower that bitch first bud !, get some tein super streets, dont bother with those cheap things off ebay, sporty yellow did that and the amount of probs it caused, they broke both his drp links the the anti roll bars, wore town his tyres, and even kept poppin out !
The bloke i got the Civic off has some G-Max springs, Only wants £50 but im skinto
lol, well if you cant even afford them, carry on using your old ones until you can !, strange about the green light though, must of only introuced it on the ek shape.
yours is an eg coupe, or an em1, not too sure !
Means nuffin to me mate lol, All i know is is a civic coupe
I'm sure i will learn all about them tho
Are G-Max good springs ? Think they was 40mm or 45mm, Not sure
there as good as netto bud, i wouldnt skip any corner's on what my whole is sitting on, take your time and save up bud !
Thats the plan mate, I'm Keeping this for a long time, So im in no rush and want to do it the way i want

Haha, I planned on doing the rims black as soon as i got them

Cheers guys
Thanks again Golfvr
Looks decent mate, what was the drop (mm) on the springs?
I think it was only 30mm mate, I'm not sure where it said on the spring front or back it said 30, So i think they are only 30's, But like i said im really happy with that, Its handles 10x better and i like how low it is, Im not going OTT with this car so didn't want it too low lol
Ok found out they are 60mm drop haha, That back one is a no go tho
HAve to do with just the 3 done for now
Thanks for all your help Joe

People might look at me and think.....*what a tit* Not that they don't now anyways
Back box sounds really nice, Just cant wait to get the rest of the pipe work underneath done
Lookin' slick mate, very slick, subtle but effective.
This is modding on the cheap at it's best.
Indeed mate, £10 for the light spray lol, Also ordered my square number plate off ebay for £8 posted (front plate), So that should be here and on next week
Looking good sean!
sweet mate, cant beat the black tail light look !
hence :-
Civic's are starting to grow on me now.
buy mine then and drive that hunk of junk off a cliff
Pardon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If i had the money to buy yours i'd spend it on a VX220 Turbo. No offence.
Just prices vx220 up, ok maybe not !!!!!!!!!!!!
An older Evo then, can get them for £3000-4000
yer, and will cost you a further 4k to get the turbo fixed and the engine re-built !
Ah soz to spam up your topic shawn, mod's move this convo out please !
Looking good matey

Black mate, Its the way forward

I'll judge the exhaust when I hear it
You wil hear it belive me! hahaha
Its not that loud is it ? lol
Should have my plate in a few days
Also my fello purple civic coupe owner has give me a cat back pipe with no middle box witch should be going on next week some time
I know when I got mine it had a straight through system on it, and it was silly loud! It screamed "pull me", wouldnt have passed a noise test, defened you inside the car, and was typical "Barry" civic noise.
Well my civic got put to the test last nite and lets just say it ain't slow
Gutted, Me number plate come today but its wrong, I asked for a Honda badge but got a Yamaha one
Also its a rear one not a front one
Emailed the guy tho.

and my new plate is on its way, Got him to do me a bigger one this time aswell cause this one is waaaaaaaaaaaay too small
nice one sean, loads goin on, hopefully you'll have it all done for the stand !!!
You get the idea
Alot will be getting done in the next week or two:
Number plate
Alloys
Cat back
And what ever i wanna buy on payday
Well my civic got put to the test last nite and lets just say it ain't slow
HaHa! What a night!
Will check that shiznay out tonight!
Was a bi*ch to fit tho, Hard to get your hand behind the bumper to put the nuts on lol, Too much crap in the way
is now the good time to tell you the numberplate you bought isnt road legal....
First one is i know, But the 2nd one i got that i got on now is a propper size one with propper size letters etc etc, Been past the cops loads and they aint said poop about it
Well after seeing my number plate and hearing my new jap can what you all think ?
Comments please, Good or bad
to me the no. plate looks funny - but if it's wot u like then that's all that's important really
Does on the pics but looks loads better in person
i like the looks of the plate mate looks good
Cheers mate, All being well i will have the alloys back on 2moz night
Tell me about it, these steelies are starting to get me down about my car now haha, Probs why i was thinking about selling it
lol could be mate will looks so diff once they on
Well alloys are painted and i go get them 2moz morning, Now just got to sort out getting the tyres off StuyMac and getting them fitted 2moz, Only thing is im working 11-7, So got to try and sort sumat out lol
go to bathers on ur break.... its 2 mins up the road matey
Yeah but i aint got the tryes yet lol, Cant get them till StuyMac takes them off 2moz, Then it depends when he can meet me etc etc LOL .
I dunno, the plate kida looks good, and I know what style you are trying to achieve, but im not sure it really suits the car, not aggressive enough looks wise.
But as Davey said, so long as it looks good to yourself, what else matters??
Nice one matey
they look brill them mate nice one
WOOP WOOP
nice one matey !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks guys
yeah, they look brill them mate, very nice.
You want to get some WD40 on the tyre walls though for tomorrow
Wasn't sure about the reg plate when I saw the first pics, but seeing it at the meet on Thursday, it looks good.
Still haven't heard the new backbox though
Keep up the good work.
Whats planned next?
Yeah mate, I was saying that to all me mates lol saying look how shiny and new the wheels are and then look how dull the tyres are lol, Looks odd,
I think the reg plate is going to be like marmite, You either love it or hate it
I think its tints next or maybe the bump strips n stuff as me and Budda are going to spray all the black bits matt black
Lookms good now sean, sets the car off nice
Yeah, Dead happy with it now, I started to hate the car with the steelies being on for so long but now i got my love back for it
Thats a nice finish on the wheels matey
Those wheels are lookin sweet as mate, well done!!
nice one mate. Look's alright now
Brought something really good for me car today and really cheap aswell, Will post a pic soon
Could anyone please tell me what these are ????
Ok ok, Ill tell you, These things = My civic dragging the bumpers along the road
Mcdonalds are paying you to much
love it mate, nice one
So what you reckon boys, 60mm ? 80mm ? nah 100mm
Omg i can't wait to get these babys on haha.
you know you have to do this right NOW, why you reading this go and slam your car
It will be done proper this time, That back one will be getting done first cause i know the other 3 will work lol, Will probs be Tue/Wed that it gets done
You have give me a new feeling for may car with your ideas and cheap modding, makes me in the mood to do mine again.
All good then mate, How much you think them things cost ?
Tyre shine needed.....
other than that looks nice.
Yeah, them green bins really set the car off mate
Could have picked a better location lol
Lookin' good though
Lol, Ain't had chance to get better pics yet lol,
Its 100mm On the front and 70mm on the back, Thats all you can have on the back as the ajuster things sits down if you get what i mean lol,
Happy with it anyways
looking good mate
Cheers guys, Think it will still settle abit yet over the next few days tho lol
Next on the modding list is tints i think
Vast imporvement mate - looks ten times better
How do you find it handles though? I found that if you ran the rear higher than the front, the EGs have a habit of oversteering due to the engine being mounted so far forward...
Of course, the coupe does have more weight over the rear than the 3 door, so may help compensate.
Really really bumpy but there is no body roll and the steering is dead touchy, You hardly have to turn the wheel lol, Ain't give it none yet, So will let you know what its like at speed round a bend etc etc
I'm tepmted to remove the rear ones again and take one of the ajuster rings off so it will sit another 10mm lower, If you get what i mean ?

so in other words youve fkd it up havent you....
And how do you work that one out ?
Got nuffin to say about my car then don't post in my topic please!!!
shawn, I bet she handle's really well bud, but there's only one problem with it................you look like a midjit when next to another car
really impressed with the way your cars comin on bud and I seriously think you should keep it.
A b16a conversion is not that expensive you know
And how do you work that one out ?
Got nuffin to say about my car then don't post in my topic please!!!
If you turn round and say its really really bumpy...and the steering is dead touchy...doesnt really sound that promising..Im not having a go...it just sounded like you were having regrets..
suspension is dead easy to get wrong..and alot of people drop the car on its arse and then regret bitterly doing so..it may look the mtuzntuz..but its a bitch to live with and noisey and every journey becomes hard work..you stop enjoying the car when it impacts on your day to day life..it stops your mates gettin in the back etc etc...
all I was saying was did you fook it up..or are you happy and going to keep it lower than my nans tits...
And how do you work that one out ?

pmsl, can any thing be that low !
audi's got a point shawn, mostly about your mate's in the back and speed bumps etc etc, but who care's, its your car not a taxi etc etc, as long as you use it for fun, you'll never get bored of it, if the noise of the loud exhaust piss's you off, install a loud system
Lol..Ive had seriously modified car in the past..had an Audi S2 pushing nearly 500bhp at one point..and it was the most tempremental Son-of-a-bitch to start, work on and generally live with...I had to put two bottles of additives in every tank to stop it pinking and I struggled to get 120 miles out of a tank of juice...
I spend thousands and thousands on it...and it was SUCH a nightmare i eventually got rid..at a huge loss..whilst it was fun..when it worked and wasnt giving grief..all the extra hassel took such an edge off any enjoyment I got from the car...
be warned there is such a thing as going too far!..if your like the rest of us plebs and only have one car..not three lol!
if your like the rest of us plebs and only have one car..not three lol!
Hmm reminds me of some one from this site, hmmm who could it be, im sure his name rhyme's with phoey slack,
hey audi got any pics of the s2 knockin around, wouldn't mind a look at that !
No i love my new set up, Infact i love it that much the back is going lower today lol, When i said the steering is touch i meant it in a good way, Its like the cars on rails haha, Bumpy don't bother me, I'm young dumb and full of cum so, Lower the better
As i said the back will be 100mm today so it will be 100mm al round, The front is perfect
if your like the rest of us plebs and only have one car..not three lol!
Hmm reminds me of some one from this site, hmmm who could it be, im sure his name rhyme's with phoey slack,

Id like to see some of those pics too - bit off topic though, this is for Seans car...
Sean - you gonna remove the alloy rings? The bouncing could be because the car is so low, and stiff with the new springs, that it is under damped on the std shocks - springs are great for the looks of the car, but you really need shocks and springs to make a good overall improvement on the handling
Yep the alloy rings are coming it off making it another 20mm/30mm on the back
When i meant bumpy i didn't mean bouncing all over the place, I meant you feel every little bump in the road , Its dead stiff and don't bounce at all, You push down on the back off the car and the hole car moves at the same time lol, Thats how stiff it is
Just make sure you dont go so low that you take up all the movement in the shock - if its very low, and very stiff it could just be riding on the bump stops and have only them and the tyres for suspension. First time I set my first set of coilovers up mine did this lol
Well the front it 100mm and thats fine, so im hoping the back would be ok on 100mm awell, Only one way of finding out
Not wanting to hi-jack Shaun thread..in short I dont have any digital ones..might have a few 35mm ones...
If you dont know what an s2 looks like..http://www.audiforums.com/models/s2/images/1992-Audi-S2.jpg
jesus, love it shawn, looks really good sittin that low, I'll give it the big
Cheers mate, I love the first pic, You really see how low it is then, So happy with my car now
Selling ? What the fook was i thinking
anno yer , must of been havin an off day
Just need a new sig making now out of them last pics i posted lol,
Anyone ?
Yeah an off day with the steelies on
Looks nice
Done a good job.
Nce one kidda, love it, how you gonna park at liquid cars now, you can't get up the kerb
He's bringing the ramps!
well done mate looks sweet you can get your arse round to mine and help me now lol
Nice, the windows will go well, like the way you chose black for the wheels, always good to be different (Too many silver around)
Nice one
looking good sean, worthy buy those were.....
like i said..lower than me nans tits....looking good mate
here's one for you shawn, why not colour code your headlight's
Take them apart (with the use of your oven), and spray the bit inbetwwen the silver reflector bit purple !
My lights ain't like your old ones mate, Mine are the older smaller lights, Its just a light i think, Don't Think it has any plastic in it lol
Yeah, they'll be the same as the ones on my EG - they are a sealed unit, with no surrounds....
Im surprised or regular Mr Honda Sanchez didnt remember that
look again boys, it can be done !
Im pretty sure that if you remove the glass on an EG there is just the reflective lense, ie, its not devided like the EK...
Nuffin else i can do now, Just have to save up for my tints
How its come along since i had it:
Before:
After:
Thats looking sooo much better, improved it loads.
Have you thought about GOLD honda badges ?????????????????
Was thinking today when i took the stickers off what colour i could do the Honda badge on the front and back, As they are abit plan and dull lol, Hmmmmmm
black badge with gold logo front back and wheels would look spot on i reckon, would go well with that purple! - carbon bonnet and boot would also look great imo, maybe carbon wing mirrors lol
Carbon bits ? are you joking, I ain't rich yet haha, Though about it and think im going to do the backs of the badge black and the "H" on the badge the same colour as my car, That goes for both the badges on the car and the center caps on my wheels.Then its still keeping the hole black and purple theme on the go lol.
What you think ?
if you can get it black back with purple H then go for it, it'll sit nicely an go with
the theme aswel.
Yeah thats what i mean pompy, Do that on both badges and on some center caps for my alloys
aye that sounds good mate, keep savin for the other bits lol
Could get sumat likes these and just spray the "H" and the outa bit purple ?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SET-OF-4-HOND...771QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemThen just spray the "H" and the outa bit on my front/back badges i got now purple ?
she's looking nice mate. was it you who flashed me by new brighton? i didn't realise till i past ya, i was in a world of my own! lol
Yeah was me mate lol, Just as you come up the hill, Cheers for the comment on me car
Well iv just done a 250 mile trip with the new coilovers and they are fine, Bit bump going down that M6 but its all good
Not far off doing 4,000 miles in my car now lol
How its come along since i had it:
Before:
After:
Looks so much better now.
Love the colour may steel it when the 200 gets sprayed once i have hit enough things in it
There is two shades of this colour as you can see from the two civics in my sig, Mine is the lighter purple and buddas is the darker purple, Unless my hole car has just faded lol, Will have to check paint codes
500 miles iv done this weekend
Done another little mod today,
Chopped the gear stick down as it was too big now its nice and small and feels dead nice, Also put a new gear knob on, Its a crappy red one with GTI on it but i got it with the Bravo so might aswell use it lol, Im going to spray it purple soon tho
nice 1 lol, will have to post a pic up
You can't really tell how small it is unless you sit in the drivers side and feel it, Feels like a proper sporty car and just dead nice to change gear lol
Im Really liking everythin uve done to the ricer now pal...Canane wait to "mess round with it"...when Im back...Jap for the Win
Well fixed my rattle on the back box
nice! car's lookin good too mate
Haha nice one
Looked sooooooooooound....
Good job its the same colour
Ermmm not bein nosy...but is that your house...or the the one with scary steps in the back???
spot on bud, best thing about older cars - loads of spare that are the perfect match
Only the first pic is at my house (on the drive) all the others are at my mates house lol.
Im happy with the car again now, Going to treat it next pay day i think
oh, btw, if your interested you can buy a cup holdr (jdm) for the civic, it replaces the plastic bit infront of the gear knob, i'll try find a piccy for you
Pic would be good cheers
Much better matey.
I used to play footy there mate (wont say were it is)

.
believe it or not Chiccy its really dirty there lol, Its just cause i clean it so much it always stays shiney even when dirty
I've got a good trick i use, I wash it with Wax, I.e i put the wax in the water and clean it, Works mint
Andy, Are you selling one or you just showing me what i could get lol ? Sorry bit lost fella LOL.
Looking better with the new wing on matey
....Andy - I think you had better prepare Sean for how much those little plastic cup holders normally cost
Think he said like £30/£40, Might be wrong tho (Long night lol)
The wing is a 100% match, Im well happy with it lol
Even tho some drunk tried to open my door last night while i was in work looking out the window at him haha, Then then fell asleep next to my car for 4 hours
Anyways back on topic, Going to take my seats out and give her a good old clean inside and outside today
I think he's just showing you what you could get, but thats gud that. I was looking for a place
to put my hot chocolate when i was sittin off in ur car LOL, ended up placin it on the floor.
Good stuff matey!! Ive removed the seats on a few cars to make sure I get the inside spotless - but thats just my OCD showing through.
If I wasnt in work Id be round helping
Well i ain't hovered the inside since i've had it, So thought it was time it had a good clean lol
Going to get some polish on the dash etc etc aswell, Its having a makeover day
Only took me an hour to strip all that, Not bad considering its my first time on this car and the only tools i was useing was some spanners and a few screwdrivers
Thats what you need -> Vanish Carpet Clean
Missed a bit
thats a big different that is, keep it tidy from now on!
thats a big different that is, keep it tidy from now on!
Yeah, keep Pomp outta the car - hes the one that makes the mess
Keep me away from your car, am the culprit that made it dirty
I agree keep stuy away from your car
Well this is a before:
And after:
You can see how it goes lighter when cleaner.
This is the way i was saying that i put wax in the water then just wash it like that, Dry it off and you will get a shine like this:
If your as good as me
Oh and that shine is in the shade, So just imagine what its like in the sun
Youve just done that on fotoshop..lol
Look at the bucket and water in the top pics
I can't even use photoshop
Youve just done that on fotoshop..lol
I think hes just wet the floor under the car
i still think uve missed a bit...
yeh, the bit thats purple.....
i'm not sellin one bud, but if you search enough forums and ebay etc you'll find one, they are around 30 - 40 nikker now, i remember when i found mine with you chewy, i was harder than a quadratic equation
Well today the civic had a cat back on with no middle box and a rage back box, Will post pics tomorrow night
