Hi everyone.
I'm starting this thread kind of late into the build so i'll give a quick recap of what's been done to the car I like to call Android 18
Alright so when I was 16 my dad bought me a 1992 Honda Civic vx. At the time I knew nothing about cars and didn't really have any plans for it other than just driving to school and back.
This is what the car looked like when I got it. Anyone who is into Hondas can probably see that the previous owner put an EK front on the car.
My dad talked me into buying some suspension goodies for it to make it a little more fun to drive.
-Function 7 LCA's
-ASR subframe brace
-ASR 24mm rear sway bar
I started getting into cars more at this point and realized how much better the stock front end would look on the car so I bought all the front end parts needed for the conversion.
Since I didn't have a job at the time I had just bought a cheap front end and quickly realized that you get what you pay for. The radiator support bent and ruined the alignment of the front end which you can kind of see here.
I saved up for quality parts and bought yet another front end for the car and had it resprayed.
At this point I had been dealing with so many issues with the car I was about to sell it. I couldn't stand the car anymore and I wanted to pick up a 240sx and try to learn how to drift. Thankfully I didn't!
I found some FF Squad track videos and thought I would give my car one last chance to impress me by going to an autox event. This is when I really got addicted to the car.
The fanboy in me caused me to buy new wheels
Mugen MF10L's 15x7
I picked up a Spoon Sports lip next.
After a full year of autox I decided to try some track events so I picked up set of Swift Springs to replace my older springs. F:12kg/mm R:10kg/mm
I went to my first track day sometime late last year.
I had a lot of fun and realized where I needed to improve my car. Unfortunately I ended the day going into the mud and destroying my lip.
The little Spoon fanboy made me want another lip so I bought another that day.
I replaced my front LCA's with Integra DC2 LCA's so I could add a front sway bar.
-OEM 24mm front sway bar
I went to some more track days to test out the new setup.
I started to make a splitter which is now just sitting in my garage not being put to use

I needed more grip so I retired my 3 year old kuhmos and bought some Advan Neova AD08's 205/50/15.
That's a really quick recap of what's been done to the car up until now. I'm planning on hitting up Thunderhill on June 7th and Buttonwillow on July 20th. I'm currently in 1st place in my scca chapter's SMF class so hopefully I can finish out the season in first. I'll try to keep this thread updated on what's going on to Android 18
