High School, Low Civic

[DaguerrotypeI]

Diggin it! Well I **** the exhaust and fake wheels aren't good but its a damn good start! Lovin how low you are.

All of those notes were opinions. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to type anything about the car. You probably rode the bus in Highschool anyways.

OP, as a fellow highschooler, I respect your build. Car is simple, mods are effective. Ignore this guy. I like.

Its the internet, grow a thicker skin....especially when it is not your car.

I'm not making this thread about my cars.

Get the fuck out. Like really, your complaining that the wheels aren't rota's? The fuck....
Fnf's are just fine
The exhaust ain't quite my taste, but I also don't like lettuce on my burgers.

I'm not complaining that the wheels aren't Rotas, I think all knockoffs suck.

HOWEVER, the fact that he made fun of Slips and is totally cool with XXR's suggest dude is just hopping from one bandwagon wheel to another (Although everything he's done suggests that)

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

1.) How do you say 'WTF was I thinking' to Slips but are totally with ugly ass XXR's? They're like the one wheel that's a downgrade from Rotas.

2.) FunctionForm coilovers are not a 'suspension worth something,' they're crap, just like eBay sleeves on stock shocks.

3.) That exhaust sucks.

Just because you're in high school doesn't give you an excuse to 'build' (A huge stretch of phrasing) a shitty car.

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

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!

That exhaust lmfao I love it

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.

[Evilist]

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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








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

[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!

[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 ;-)

[bike603]

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!

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!
