    So I found what I thought was a great deal on skunk2 camber arms, but come to find out they're for an ek and not an eg. It's my fault for not paying attention to the mounting point when I bought them.



    I found some cheap del sol seats and swapped the seat rails off my car. Im hoping to swap over to all black interior soon.



    Passenger seat in the car, i was just test fitting the bride.



    New wheel in that I had laying around.



    Found some soy sauce in the rice-box




    Did a little more work to the fender, I've got it fitted close to how I want it. It'll look alot better once my new camber kit comes in.



    I did the inner and outer tie rods.



    Messed with the fender fitment a bit more.



    Took her for an alignment.

    I ordered matching extended top hats for the rear.



    I realized my rear springs are 11in tall and pretty low rates. My plan is to order 7in 550lb springs instead.



    Extended top hats in and floppy dampening Adjusters





    Rear fitment with only one adjuster and extended top hats

    Started working on what I was going to do with the front fenders. The wheels poke way too hard with the spacers.



    I decided to cut and widen them. I also painted the exposed underbody.



    I started working on fixing the smashed up passenger side fender. Normally I would've just bought a new fender, but I have little to no experience doing autobody so I figure I would use this as a learning experience.



    After I got most of the big parts of the dent out I applied a bit more bondo. I realized that I mixed too much hardner and the bondo started to chunk up.



    Test fit on the car. The shape is still pretty terrible but atleast its closer to looking like a fender.







    Cut the fender and shaped the fender a bit better. Hit it with one coat of primer so I can see imperfections better.





    A Lil bit of Graff on the underbody



    Messed around with the passenger side fender a bit, and got the fitment a bit better. Mocked up something to fill the fender gap.



    Drove the car to work from the first time, no casualties besides an exhaust hanger.

    *So I picked up this 1995 civic ex sedan on Halloween 2016.


    I traded my turbo volvo 244 for it, since I needed a better commuter



    When I got the car it was b18 swapped, super ugly Koenig wheels ebay sleeves in the front, lowering springs in the rear, worn suspension components, bad alignment, ricer steering wheel, dings all over the body, both bumpers cracked, and some severe dents on the driverside fender. In other words a perfect start to a build lol.









    The first thing I did was order some raceland primos, and extended top hats for the front. If anybody wants me to write a review, I'm down.



    This is a pic with just the fronts coilovers on, you can see how beat the passenger fender is in this pic



    Adjusters maxed out in the front



    I drove it like this for a few months, and eventually got really sick of looking at the car everyday.



    Bought some felgenwerks off offerup, 15x9 +15 with 195/45/15 for the front, and 205/50/15 for the rear.
    Here's a pic of the rear with Adjusters 1.5in up



    Adjusters maxed out in the rear, steelies on the front because I realized the design of the wheel causes the spokes to hit the caliper on my integra brakes.





    Bought a cheap camber kit off ebay.



    Got -7.5 out of the rear with no modifications, I have a couple threads left but the trailing arm is resting on the spring. I plan on getting shorter, stiffer springs and shortening the camber arm.



    Got 1.25in spacers locally for really cheap, so that I can run my front wheels for now. They now poke out the fenders about 2 inches, so I pulled them off for now.
