Ok, I'm always telling new members to get a project thread going, so thought I'd better put in mine! So, the brief....
Bought the civic from my wife when she got her aerodeck, she was the 2nd owner. It had full FHSH, and 32'000 miles on the clock! Had it for around 4 years now (she had owned it for a year)
As bought, completely standard
First mod was to change the rear lights, as I hated the orange indicators. So changed to later style MB lights
Then I turned to the interior. Luckily for me, my wife got me a brand new, still in the box, OEM leather interior!
Trouble was, it was the actual leather lit itself, from Honda, and I had to retrim all my seats by hand!! Nightmare! Well worth the effort though. Aslo fitted a cd player, JVC, then followed that with another JVC which played MP£ aswell and had a funky display, but that broke so opted for a pioneer this time. The difference in sound quality is wicked, and this one does mp3/wav etc, and has input sockets on the front Upgraded the speakers to Sony Xploads (utter rubbish they are) anyways, the interior
Next, I got a rear boot spoiler for it, and at the same time, changed the rear bumper to the later style MB civic. Again, I just prefered the shape compared to MA civics, and it tied in with the rear lights
I got bored with the original 14" alloys, and wanted some 15"jordan style alloys. Could'nt find a set at the time, so opted for a brand new set of wolfrace excites, with 195/50/15 tyres. These look similar so was chuffed. Also fitted a genuine Honda sunroof wind deflector, for a bit of the JDM look lol. Also fitted one to Dawns aerodeck
Then it was the brakes, and although it was never gonna be fast, I wanted it's brakes to be good! Fitted Black Diamond Grooved/vented front discs, with B/D predator pads. These were ok for a bit, but the predator pads were really poor. Changed them to ferodo, and now it stops perfect!
Then i thought, the centre caps really spoiled the look of the wheels, so changed them to proper Honda ones
Much better
Now to the front bumper, which has been buggin me. The car came with half colour coded bumpers, which meant the bottom half was just black plastic, which I hated. So, decided to fully colour code them, as I had just bought a new gun for my compressor Also replaced the grill with a new one, as the old one was perished and the chrome was perished too, and fitted MB6 H/light washers, which I think change the look of the MA big time at the front
So, not got any recent pics up appart from these I took after a good clay and polish on the civic and the aerodeck
Plans are..
Respray bonnet as it's a replacement one which is white! Colour code the bump strips, mirrors.
Fit the VTI rear spoiler I have (with brake light)
Fit the vti (standard) front lip I have
Lower it
Fit front window wind deflectors
Fit the original MA front fogs I got for it
