  • The Static Honda Frame Scraping Duo

    Hi I'm Nathan. Im 18 years old still in high school. These cars are my life. Where as most kids fall prey to substance abuse i fell to cars. I am blessed with a very good job for my age. But enough with the talking pictures speak louder than words...

    With some light modifications by the previous owner it was love at first sight a blank canvas thrown in front of me.


    The first thing i did was buy a cheap used set of apexi ws coils i was satisfied for how low they would go for the time being..looking back they are probably some of the worst coils on the market. Next i purchased a set of work cr kai 15x7 with a whopping +44 offset(not knowing much about stance at the time)

    I eventually threw some +30 spacers on there to look a little more flush...

    A few days after i put the spacers me and a friend were driving to his house and my front left shock bottomed out and layed the frame of my car on top of the tire and completely broke off three studs leaving my wheel parallel with the ground and stuck in the middle of the street. that was no fun.

    I got sick of the terrible suspension and purchased the best koni with gc and extended tophats. I also bought some diamond racing wheels 15x8 +0 and +12. Little did I know these would sit in my room with no tires in sight for nearly 4 months. The tire size i wanted 165 45 15 were on a nation wide back order and this was a pain having to wait so long with perfect wheels just sitting in my room. Anyways once all of the above came together here was the new product...

              I guess i have to go ahead and show my other car since i named this thread with duo at the end although this car is nothing to show yet. I had been searching for a honda civic wagon for a while and one day this guy drives through my work( I work at a car dealership) with a 1989 Honda Civic Wagon with only 96k original miles on it. It was almost as if this car was meant to come to me. The car is in amazing condition the only thing i didnt like about it was the fact that it was automatic transmission. I bought it straight off the guy for 2300. This is how it sat..

                    Nice! Gotta love those 165/45s. Haha
                    Be ready for that oil pan to sit a good bit lower on the B18! And there's not really any room to raise the 1.8s.
                    Looking forward to seeing the progress, though!

                            Diamond Racing wheels on a red EG always work.

                            Honda Civic Wagon is a pimp mobile though. Swap parts over to it.
