The MB4 I have many plans for

Hi guys, I'm new around here and just thought I would post my progress so far and progress to come.

This is '97 MB4 civic, it is only my second car, the first one I will be modding. It is not vtec, the insurance wouldn't allow it, but it is a 1.6i ES, so it has leather seats, heated wing mirrors etc.

 

As of 27/04/17, the current mod list is small but still cost more than the car, so easy to spend a lot of money on car mods!!

  1. Sound system. 2 x 1000w RMS alpine type R subwoofers, 4000w inPhase mono amp, alpine CDE-185BT head unit. I haven't touched the front speakers, but they are actually really good and keep up! I don't know if they are this good from factory or if they will be aftermarket as I haven't bothered to check seeing as I don't need to.
  2. Blue LED Underglow lights, Front and sides. 
  3. Lenso D1R 15" alloys, with hankook 205-50-15 tyres

 

 The mods am planning are:

  1. Speakers in the parcel shelf (The rear speakers currenty are tiny and not very good)
  2. Sorting out the bodywork from previous owner. The dents in the front wings will be sorted. The wheels that I have stick out a little, So was thinking about sourcing some form of wide archers if I can
  3. Finish off the underglow. There are no LED's at the back yet
  4. Wind Deflectors
  5. Blue clock lights
  6. Blue LED's inside, including lining the boot and footwells
  7. Want to debadge the "Honda", "Civic", "1.6i ES", but leave the honda logo on. Only thing is im not sure if they are just glued on or if they will leave holes in the boot because they clip in
  8. Spoiler
  9. Maybe a sunstrip
  10. Backbox, not going to bother with the rest of the exhaust, I am aware this isn't a fast motor, so i'm not going to try. Just want it to sound good haha
  11. LED headlights
  12. Need to see if there are any LED taillight clusters
  13. Might lower it a little, not sure yet though
  14. Window tinting
  15. Wrap, was thinking metallic black

Any other things that I have not thought about here that are cool, let me know :)

 

*When I get back from work I will try and get a video of the subs, they are awesome!*

Thanks mate :) Yea i know I always wanted to do it since I first saw fast and furious haha. The boot spoiler I was thinking about was from a rover 420 I think, if i'm right they have a high level that will fit nicely

 

*edit* think the spoiled may be from an mg zf actually

Yeah spoiler from mgzs will go straight on, and i think the accord typeR (or the dc2 integra typeR, cant remember which!) can be made to fit.

 

Sounds like the front speakers may have been changed as they are generally pretty lame, although the rears are shockingly bad! 

Liking the underglow lights, not seen a car with those for a long time! Some might not like it but hey its your car and your style. Deffo different!

Just an update, I have done a few bits,  not too many though I don't have too much spare cash. It's now debadged, I have removed the parcel shelf and tilted the sub's and they sound much cleaner now and finally fitted some blue LEDs into the clock cluster. Turns out these are the same as the side lights,  so swapped them out too! 

 

I now have a few things im not sure about now though. The clocks have two more lights that shine downwards that are a smaller bulb, but I do not know what they are and they need to be changed too as they overpower the 5 blue LEDs I put in it. 

 

My other issue for now is that without a parcel shelf I have nowhere for my speakers to live. I can't put them where the back ones are as they are too big,  I was thinking the back doors but that would have to be a custom job as they dont have any in. 

 

I have the parts to a cat back system now,  just bought a kit from eBay that consists of pipes,  a reducer,  a back box and silencer by hornet. Can't wait to get that on,  it isn't a dustbin its only 2.5"bore.

So, it's both sad and happy times. The exhaust sounds good, sticks out a little far, but I'm getting used to it.

 

However it needed welding to fit, so took it to a garage where they did it, however must have damaged the led strip under the car because now they alot of them don't work. Just means I'll have to come back with better quality ones!

 

Also now a few stickers have made it to the back of it!

 

Ps. Was going to put a video of the exhaust noise but I can't :(
