High School, Low Civic

[double_oh_9]

From a year out of high school kid, props man. You have done much better than all of the "budget civic" kids around where i'm from. I picked up my cheap first project ($1000 miata) in my last week of high school and never looked back

To keep morale up, here's a pathetic picture of it all tucked away with no spacers sitting sunk harder than the Titanic. Drivers side skirt fell off, but I have it, lol. Daily'ing my mom's 2005 SWAGon Focus, it's a 5-speed complete with no tachometer, so it's pretty much an F1 car. Gets up and spins second harder than any D-series Honda I've driven, but that's not saying much. This always ends up with me whenever the Civic is down, and if it gets stolen or totaled, you'll be seeing a Focus on 15x9's.



Wheels are on their way here from California, stay tuned..

Thanks guys! Can't wait to clean the body up some and get some little odds and ends for it, I'm making it out to every meet i can this summer.

Nice choice of wheels. I was eyeballing those for my Teg as a set of "nice wheels to roll on before I get money for legit wheels"
But in the end, real vs fake, it don't matter as long as you think the car looks good. Keep on rocking. This is one of my favorite threads on S/W, mainly because because you have a good clean build going and you do what you want. /dickriding over

Yeah true. I'm on ff type1s they do me alright. A good recommendation though. Koni yellows with ground controls. One of the best setups you can get you'll love it. Ride super low. I subscribed to your build so I expect to see more post. ��

I found this thread by complete chance. Was really suprised to see it. 👍 I dd this setup but I have days where I really wish I had a bigger tire. I debeaded one doing 75 on the freeway and it was quite scary. Luckily I have a set of 165s in my room so I didn't have to wait to order one. Good luck in your build you're going in the right direction 👌🚗💨

Thanks man, appreciate it. I'm going 195, not 165 for that exact reason. Not going to lie, when I was on eBay sleeves and HX's, I looked at your build thread going "damn, I'm doing that." Ultimate cock rider, but who cares, if you can't beat 'em join 'em.

[Dsscats]

That looks amazing! Seriously great! And as long as fake parts are relatively safe, who cares! I'm rocking Volk reps. I wish I had this motivation to build my Z32 (I'm in HS too). On another note, my only suggestion would be plasti-dipping all the black parts, like the side skirts and door trim. It just makes cars look so much newer with non-faded trim.

So, I found a hatch with my specs..







And I'm a good bit lower than that...................



this is going to be amazing i thinks.



i plan on doing the no-camber look in the rear like Blakeb, who is also running 15x9's. I love the look, and i really do need my tires to last as much as possible. fenders are a little rusty on the insides, so they're eventually going to be replaced anyway probably, so i don't mind making them get turnt up.



Blakeb's sex machine with 165's O.O







LOVE his car, i see it as a huge inspiration for my build, it's the same thing. a 98 roma red DX hatch

What tires size are you going with? I would go with a 195/40 on a 9 inch wheel but thats just me

My 195/45/15's from the XXRs. Should be an okay stretch. It's a DD so I can't risk popping beads on potholes etc. All in all, I'm pretty sure this is going to be the shit, haha. I'm never really that excited, but I must say I've been looking forward to actually "fitting" this car for quite some time now.

Also, hacking the muffler off, tired of the horrible noise it makes, lol. Plus it has grown on me as stupid, and will be treated as such.

[sleeps]

Great wheel choice... Keep up the work.

[Dremetos]

Yeah i think the color combo is going to be on point. Hacking my muffler off today, it's just hanging there

[Houstons23rd]

Can't wait to see the wheels mounted red and white should make a killer combo. **** that exhaust doe

[SnazzyQ]

Wheels are going to look tits man

WHEELS ORDERED. Decided to go balls out so I'd never have to worry about wheels again.

JNC 15x9 0 offset. 4" lip, going for that soda can fitment.

Got white faces with polished lips, I feel it will flow well with the red paint.

Delivery expected between the 4th and 10th. Getting my old tires off my 7's to get those sold asap. Already have a shop lined up to do the mounting, shouldn't be too bad I just don't have a Cheetah machine.





so now it's time to get to work on the body once school's out on the 13th. bumpers painted, doors replaced, interior work. make this thing fake wheel stance works MATERIAL.
