High School, Low Civic

[SHOoff11]

Props to you for not being like most other kids your age, it's nice to see someone who works for their stuff and is proud of it. Car looks great, keep up the good work!

[Randomofodication]

Looking forward to seeing the wheels all one color! Also laughed pretty hard at the "when I thought I was real low" I think everybody here has been there and won't admit it

[Dremetos]

Been getting offers on the 50 back and fourth. Wheels STILL aren't done, it keeps raining every day I have the ambition to do them. Been riding around slammed, having a blast per usual. Some pics to keep the lurkers lurkin'.

Btw, I can be found on Instagram (omg follow me so my irl friends dont think im a loser!!!) at tuckintom in case you'd like to see more frequent pictures of the car.

Anyway, sorry for the poor quality pictures, thanks social media.



And I found an old pic of my other Civic when I thought I was REAL-LOW on those Ksport lowering springs DAYUM.

Dude the civic looks great. Not everyone can afford "brand name" stuff. I understand, as long as it looks good it looks good. I like the progress man.

[Dremetos]

Thanks man, appreciate the love. Got my favorite 15x8 0et's I'm going to get and swap my tires over once I sell my pit bike and get the money together. Keeping them a secret, but they have quite the lip going. Anyway, I'll be plasti-dipping the inner section of my XXR's black this weekend and polishing the lips up just so they're all one color. Not going for perfection, just some symmetry.

Can't go wrong with Diamond steelies! Ignore the trollfag above, the fact he's taking the time to come back to this thread and respond to you and everyone else's comments, and say something stupid, is saying he's paying attention to your thread. So you're definitely doing something right to gain his attention.

dust them shoulders off

Looking good for being on a budget, we've all been there. Don't let some H A T E R tell you you're doing it wrong cause they simply can't afford the type of parts they wished was on their car (if the trollfag even has one to begin with).

Keep doing what you do!

[Dremetos]

Appreciate it man. Yeah, that pipe is literally AutoZone piping exhaust clamped to the end of stock muffler. It was a spur of the moment idea that cost me like 7$. I plan on doing it correctly with mandrel bends, and welding to make it legit. This is just a feeler.

Once again, thanks for showing the love. This car is all laughs and fun, no seriousness here, and I think that's how it should be.

Also, to the dislikers of my wheels, I must admit I'm not exactly a fan either. They do work though. Once this thing sells..



My pre-car build (fully built Honda CRF50F pit bike, TON of fun there), I plan on getting some wheels. I'm not exactly sure what I want to get. I'm completely open to suggestions. I'm thinking some Diamond Racing wheels in some more aggressive specs, possibly 15x8.25 0 offset. Yeah, they have to be fake wheels, sorry, haha.

Me and a few homies on some of the worst roads in the city.

The whole thread but in particular, this post. You and everyone in the car is having a mad time. Something that I think baller builds lose touch of.



I've been lurking your thread since OP and didn't want to post....because I have a bias....oh well....should just show love to all the threads.

Anyway, what you do to your car, is what you do and if it makes you happy then that's the only thing that your car could care about..if it doesn't provide happiness, change that.
Your attitude motivates me somehow, cheers.

Don't apologize for 'slacking' because it sounds like you have your priorities straight mate, you need to earn money in-order to buy new oil pans and re-do wheels, don't you?

The whole massive exhaust thing is growing on me, your one wasn't on my porn list BUT I really want pipes on my sedan and may have to opt for something closer to this.



Keep going Dremetos!

I had a 98 civic in high school, I just wasn't into the scene then but man I wish I was. I'm into vw's now but I still love seeing a low honda build. Somewhat local haha, keep the build goin!

[Whiskerz]

Nice budget build!

Save up for some 16" slipstreams! I love the look of EK hatches with slips on them it just seems so right!

I would say do the spacer spoiler trick too for a bit of rake on there ;-)

[Dremetos]

FF's are not just fine, they're Taiwanese crap.

By the way, my PayPal is open to donations bro! I'd love some new coilovers and wheels!

[Dremetos]

Hey guys. Man, I never noticed this thread got some attention.

I love the ****, it strives me to keep me doing what I do. The fact that this kid took the time to type crap up means he MUST be insecure about his own car / life, as normal people typically don't do that. Oh well, what can you do, can't please everyone!

Anyway, a small update.. cracked my second oil pan. Hit a big dip in a road disguised by a shadow, hit the front of the pan, and cracked right on the weld seam for my skid plate... New pan was on the next day and has been okay (knocking........on wood) thus far. I also decided enough was enough as far as the swizz cheese front fenders, and grabbed the best set of Roma Red fenders I could from the wreckers. Not in perfect shape, but neither is the car, so it works!

Wheels still aren't done, the recent pan issues and work have kept me away, I apologize for slacking, lol.

Also, I realize my wheels are reps, they were cheap. I'd love some real wheels, money doesn't grow on trees; most of you get that. Also, as for the exhaust, ah, we all have those moments. It gets a lot of funny looks, and as of right now it's going to stay. It's easy to remove, so if I grow to **** it it'll be gone.

I'll have decent pics of it with the new fenders and wheels done hopefully soon enough.

We were ALL in high school once.

Many of us were in college at one point or another.

Everyone (or at least the huge majority of us) are operating on a budget in one way or another.

That doesn't mean we all cut corners.

To embrace half assed modifications/projects is what embraces the decline of the enthusiast.

>>implying the concept of stance itself isn't the decline of the enthusiast in 2/3 of the car community's eyes

Normally I'd agree with you.

But he's in highschool driving a cheap car that he is building on a minimum wage part time budget. The coils are ok and the wheels are cheap. Its a good thing the wheels and the car is cheap, because chances are he is going to crash this car or that shit will get stolen. It happens to you at that age.

The only thing I think is stupid on this car is the exhaust. That thing is fucking retarded.

The exhaust is something different, we all try goofy stuff at that age. and yes I would rather see a high school kid on XXRs and cheap coilovers he bought himself instead of some Mugen or Riversides he got from his trust fund and dropped on some Ohlins or K&W Coilovers.

Everyone starts somewhere give him some slack.

Its people like you that make the car modifying scene look like shit

+1

And OP don't listen to the guy talking shit. I'm in high school, so I understand the budget issues. Your car is looking good! Great start!

OP dont listen to him, people like this are what make the modifying scene look like shit. You're a kid on a budget and you are driving something that doesn't have chrome tails and some shit off ebay on it I give you props I woulda killed to have a car that dope in high school.

Nice car dude, I would of kept the rotas tho, but I know how it feels to be on a budget and not wanting to drive on crappy steel wheels. Many people on stance works don't really understand some of the issues many of us face. Not every one can spend 5 grand on some nice 3 piece "real" and not fake wheels.

Keep going man
