Hi guys my name is davin and this is my civic.
this is my built thread enjoy!
After a few month after i graduated high school i was searching for my second car. At first i was after 92-95 Honda Civic hatchback Si in Captivate blue and only that since my first car was a black 93 Si that i totaled. 2 months went by and i had no luck of finding a clean one and i was getting desperate. i decided to just find a clean civic with a manual transmission. In early July my cousin let me know that he is selling his 03 SSM Civic 4 door 5 speed with 117XXX miles for 5500. I've known the car since its was brand new and he did take care of it. At first i ***** the car, the front end is ugly, the back is ugly, slow as D17 with no hope but its reliable, clean title and basically clean on the inside and out. After a while it started to grow on me and i learnt to love it. It came with a "banging" sound system and also some ricey Enkei wheels.

After working during the summer, i started my mod.

July 2012
I was tired of people making fun of my fake rims so i showed them wassup. Bought my first set of BBS RS 17x8 all around missing one cap for $700. (I guess the seller didn't know anything about cars?) Didn't get to mount it but decided to go 16 so i sold it for 1200. $500 profit!
August 2012
bought my second set of BBS RS for 1100. he originally selling for 1700 but we worked out a price at 1100 since he needed money. car was sitting +13 up front and +3 at the back since my camber bolts won't give me more camber! at this point i was sitting at 22 1/2 to 22 3/4 fender to ground. front tires was 205 and it burned my fender by rubbin to much. bought a 195 tires for $ 210 and solved the problem:tup: alligment $120 all around.
Sept 2012
painted reverse light red since a lot of people went with the JDM clear signal.
Oct 2012
The tein coilover didn't go low enough so i sold it for $300 bucks and bought my self a function and form type 2 for rsx $940
had to do some modification to make it fit. shave the bushing at the back a little bit and RSX tie rod $60. since this one have camber plate i could run +8 all around. i took out one of the perches and i was sitting at 21 1/4 fender to ground but since my tires aren't really stretch i was rubbing way too much. it poped the fender out everytime i turned and frame was on the ground 80% of the time. San Diego have bad roads.:fu: so i rasied back up and this is how it sits now. 21 3/4 fender to ground. i had to notch the frame on the driver side and modify my tie rod. notching was $60 since i didn't have a grinder and $130 for an alligment and cutting my outter tie rod.
