1996 Honda Civic

[Counteract]

I have managed to get an early generation Spoon N1 backbox today! I won't be picking it up for a couple of weeks, but it gives me time to think about what I want to do to the back of the car.

The exhaust is from a Coupe, so will stick out a little. This isn't a problem, but I want the exhaust to sit as tight to the body as possible, it's hanging at the moment and I think I made a hole in it going over some speed bumps recently.

I'm seriously considering getting a diffuser for the back and cutting my bumper up to fit it. I love the look of most diffusers and it would solve the issue with a raised exhaust, as well as looking pretty badass at the same time!

Yes, I know it's a Skyline, and my car is FWD etc. etc. but I like this style!


I'm open to opinions. I personally think something like this with half a bumper could look quite good.

Haha, i wanted to do a diffuser too, but i'd rip it off in hours.

woah. I'm not on here to much (mainly because I am a part of a swedish Stance site) Anyway, I like this shit. Have a Civic EJ9 myself so... But I still wonder, are you Counteract from old digimods and autemo? If so, send me you skype/msn in pm dude. Keep the good shit up!

i love your civic man, reminds me of one of my friends in highschool, his was an ef, but same colors, and basic ideas. cant wait to see where it goes from here!

I'm with you on the diffuser thing man. I'd love to have one on my coupe, but no one makes them and I can't begin to think of where to start on making one.

Thanks man. Yeah that's me! I still talk to a few people, such as Gary and Airbrush (Dan Hovdahl) in fact he stayed at mine for a week this summer! I'll send it over in a second yo!

Thanks! A friend of mine posted a green EJ on Meisters on my wall on facebook the other day and it's so much motivation!! Check it out!

I'm actually watching one on ebay UK at the moment, it's for a 350z or Supra originally, but it is SO cheap at the moment that I might just have to place a cheeky bid! I know it will be too wide, but just for shits I might get it. Depends what it reaches price wise. I could always sell it on anyway.


Thanks for the positive thoughts! I said the same thing last weekend, but hopefully later today I will have started on the hub swap! First though, I have to go to work :/

There was a sheared bolt which ruined my day. It's still there, so tomorrow is the day I kill it. But I couldn't resist lowering it to see how it's going to look. I need to roll my arches some more and dial in some more negative camber!

I can't wait for tomorrow!

[jimbo]

Fuck man. I love this!! Where'd you get your Brides? So hard to find japanese parts in Sweden :c

[Counteract]

Thanks man!

The reclining is second hand, I'm not sure where from originally, the drivers came from Italy.

There's some cheap ones in Norway that I know of! Want me to find you a link?

[jimbo]

yeah sure, all links to nice "jdm" parts is awesome, haha.

Might get another civic this winter tho'

[Counteract]

I'll have to ask my mate for it! I'll get it to you on facebook or something!

My LCA bolt was seized on the other side so I'm going to have to get new LCAs. Hopefully it's gonna be on the road for Saturday as there's a local meet that I want to make it to.

I have about 2mm arch gap tops! With no camber, so when I tuck it should sit perfect.

I made it to a local meet last night. A few pictures that I have seen so far:

Steelies are cool but are getting pretty common on hondas. If you can get the Miesters dialed it will be dope. As for a rear diffuser, i think if you go with a fairly simple design, than you can make it work nicely. Keep it up I love your work thus far.

[Counteract]

Thanks man, I appreciate the positive feedback

Found a couple more pictures from Saturday night, I need to get some adjustable camber arms and go lower. Maybe some more stretch too.




I'm after some USDM mirrors too, anyone in the US fancy sending me some?

[Counteract]

Next step!
