Well, here's the current pics. I need a rear control arm to finish dropping the rear of the car. Dam bolt snapped in the old control arm. The ground controls and AGX shock are really nice though. I have the fronts on setting 2 and the rear one on setting 1. Once I get the last control arm, I can put the last AGX on and complete the drop. So I'm working on the uneven drop.

By the way, does anyone know the url of the guy with the white 93-95 civic coupe with white volks wheels? I have been looking for that picture.

clean look tho

Chris y0!

i hope your kidding. you must not know much about hondas. that year coupe came with the KAC5 automatic transmission. the torque converter has oven brazed fins, and it stalls at about 5000 RPM. it will handle up to 800 horsepower.

lukas

how can you have fun driving an automatic?

I agree. You should get the stock side skirts and paint them white. Those skirts don't flow at all. I like the front and rear lip. I used to have a white AT coupe just like that. Good luck with finishing the project.

im not feelin any of those lips, the drop job, the black moldings, or the fact that you bought all those cosmetic parts before gettin a nice set of rims.. but if you like it and you are planning to complete it the way you want, thats all that matters.. good job

Dam, I'm in college, bank account currently hold around 100.00 and I owe about 170.00 in taxes. I'm accepting B-series engine donations though. And wheels will be worked on after a pay taxes so I don't go to jail. But thanks for all the comments. And ay, there are hella time where I feel that driving an automatic downs me whereever I go, but hey, when I graduate and get a job, I'll work on that engine/transmission swap. I'm really kinda struggling with the car right now. Everything on that car, I did the work myself. For the experience and to save money. I'm still trying to get the drop done. I have control arms on the way like I said above. Maybe I'll post again in a few months when I actually get enough money to do something else with it. And by the way, I have driven many manuals so I do know the potential of a manual transmission, but I have seen a-lot of automatics that will kick the *** of a-lot of manuals around here. But hey, I didn't get a manual to automatic swap, It came like that.

front looks tizzy in the hizzy, your sideskirt is kinda fallin off, the back one aint to hot and for some reason the black side moldings aren't the same color but the car is clean so more power to ya whoopty holler and all that goodness. keep it up.

niceguy

sideskirts are hideous! are they homemade? u have bad taste my friend.

Arright, for the record, the lip kit is a civic type-r lip kit. Front rear and side skits.

I really wanted SI side skirts. Anybody know if they will bolt onto my car?

STN_Pat

kay_animation, your car is great man. have fun with it and keep it on comming, you're on the right way to make it nice and as you want it. Good luck and keep it up

rodrez.

Props for doing everything yourself. Not really my style, but to each his own. One thing you might try, on your moldings, where it's turning white, use a little "back to black" from Mothers or Meguires to make them dark again.

kay_animation

Thanks STN_Pat, I really needed to hear that.

Great base. Side skirts are well, fuglyized. Paint the moldings for sure. And like yesterday fix the drop.

Dont get me wrong i like just a few things you need to address.

Ming Tsai

nice ride man, i dig it a lot. the sideskirts are a little too big and it would look better to even out the drop. The black side moldings don't bother me too much. Definitely some nice looking wheels like buddy clubs or something. Much props for doing all the work yourself.

yeaaaa its slow

Did that one guy just say that his auto tranny can handle 800hp, you must be joking.

Why would that put a tranny that could handle 800hp on a civic when they know that the motor in there wont ever come close to producing that much power?

Well I have a d16y8 in a 99 ex coupe, with the auto tranny, how much hp can my tranny handle?

Take off the Side moldings

FrostyDC4

Um you are joking right?

Chris y0!

omg, wasn't it obvious?

kay_animation

I wanted to do that a long time ago but then i'll have holes in my car from the molding clips. As far as the side skirts, will it be that hard to put si side skirts on my car. A friend said I have to cut them but I have been seeing them on a-lot of hatches too, so it can't be that bad. Any help?
