    Default Prime builds a Honda

    Hey kids, I posted up most of this before but let's recap.

    Bought this thing about a year ago site unseen. Sent Mr. Gregg Bucell and a few other homies to North Carolina with cash. What they came back with was this very clean 1999 Civic Hatchback. Coming from my 300+ hp Jetta it was a big change but reliability and gas mileage was what I was after. The car came with some suspension work and widened steelies so I was off to a solid start. With money left over from the Jetta I planned on doing some small subtle stuff to the hatch. Over the course of owning it I've been through multiple looks so we'll go through those as well as what I'm currently doing for this show season. Yes the car is automatic and not a racecar so deal with it.

    How it looked when I got it.


    Various stages it has gone through.




















    Here's where this year's look starts. Decided to switch up the style a good bit. Got rid of the Mugen lip and the wing risers. Traded the te's for some BBS RS'. Stock lips on the rears weren't gonna cut it so I got some new 2" lips and refinished the wheels with white centers. Coming from my VW roots the net logical step was to go lower, much lower and that's exactly what I did.



    Got the wheels on but it was still way too high for my liking.




    This brings us up to today, the car is now much lower and things are looking good again. Still some small stuff to take care of before IA and the other events of the summer. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated.

    I'm in Milledgeville during the week so I usually don't make it out there. I'll be in town tomorrow though so I may make it. Otherwise, it should be done for IA.

    I got most of it used from a friend so I got a pretty good deal. With all new stuff though it can be done for under $2000 easily.

    I agree, I don't really like the new low. I would've kept the steelies, but the car does look awesome still!

    No,most rs's come in a pretty standard offset and width..ie 15x6.5 +30ish...etc... Most people add aftermarket lips and thats when you have to start running camber.

    changing wheels is not building a car.

    also, this car got progressively worse the more you changed. The hella flush cambered out sitting on the ground fitment looks like absolute horse shit.


    This version of the car looked great, minus the wing.

    I didn't want to go there when I was viewing this earlier, LOL. Starks are FTW. The CTR wing is pretty fucking fly, but IMO it needs to be behind a 250+whp K series, not a stock D.

    It's called hardparking for those that don't enjoy driving their cars. It seems like a waste to me.
