    Well they aren't knockoffs... lol surprise surprise... They are Euroline DHs looks like 18x9 0 offset not positive my jack broke when I was jacking the car up...

    They're in need of some love and I need some center caps...

    I'm not going to get it painted till all the bodywork is done... I have a lot of stuff to work on, the plan is get it straight and try my best to hit a deer and let my insurance to pay for it... lol

    Those wheels up there look like the ones I have... I don't have the center caps tho. They're 18s which is IMO to big for the car... But like I said I have 150$ in em and they have 3 brand new tires on em.

    I'm not going B series on the motor because the stuff around here is twice the price of D series stuff. I don't have to buy new mounts, I don't have to change computers, and with new arp bolts, good gaskets, and a good tune I can make well over 200hp which is plenty for stretched tires. I don't plan on racing it. So its more than enough for me.

    Thanks for the comments guys.

    Are those eurolines 17 or 18?

    it could work...




    and paint them white


    IMO even if its a maaco 1-stage, you need to get this repainted properly

    I apologize for some of the pics being turned... I turned em on photobucket but apparently it doesn't know that...

    So anyway... My cousin wrecked his Lancer Raliart and messed up his wheels, He told me he would trade some rims he had laying around for the Konigs... Turns out they look kinda cool on my car haha






    They're 18s... I know that's huge on a Civic but at least they have some lip, and some stretch...



    That's how it sits now... Looks pretty decent but It needs aloottttttt of work...

    Comeing soon:
    Windshield
    New Core Support
    New headlights (black background)
    New corners (tinted amber)
    New fenders
    New bumper
    Front lip
    Adjustable Control Arms
    JDM D15B Swap (unless something happens to mine before I find one)
    Window Tint
    RSX seats (already have, just need to make brackets)
    and ALOT of tlc/cleaning...

    Forgot to mention I apologize for the cell phone pics... My wife lost the cord for our camera.

    Anyway I found out that the guy that had the car before me had cut the springs on the struts and left the pieces in. Figured I might as well hack on em some more, so I took em out and cut em down. Here's what I ended up with.

    I also threw on some el cheapo Wally World roof racks...

    started a topic Eg Coupe Build... Yes another one...

    Eg Coupe Build... Yes another one...

    Well I've been wanting to start a build for a while, I finally got something with a little stretch and poke and I figured I'd stop lurking and post something...

    Here's what I started with...







    Edit: Some things I forgot to mention, I traded an EF sedan with not motor for this car, running because I needed a daily. The coupe rearended a 18 wheeler so that's what wrong with the front of it... and I'll be working on that as I go...
