    Default well....I am done with the Civic's Exterior (like anyone really cares...)

    Well I have completed the exterior. I may put on the SiR style lip and possibly order some fog lights. The thought has crossed my mine. Now the attention will go towards the suspension. I want to keep the current ride height for now, but I may raise the front about 1/2 an inch. I want to reduce the chassis' flex as much as possible and add in some over-steer. I also want to replace the D2 coilovers with something a bit more sturdy quality wise. I have much to learn but I do believe I am heading in the right direction.

    Like it or hate it. Either way it wont change the fact that is slow and needs a lot of improvement.

    -Note- The decals on the windows will be gone.

    Here is how she sits now. And I FINALLY had it tagged after 6 months of waiting.

    (919): so I was just driving high and I stopped to let a pinecone cross the road because I thought it was a hedgehog.

    Very tastefully done, i really like it. Some cars can't pull off the black housing headlights but i think they look in place on your car.

    Suspension wise, take a look at Progress Racing. I've got their coil-over & rear sway bar setup, it will give you that stiffness and reduce understeer than you're looking for. (ive got 98 civic coupe)

    As far as suspension goes look at PIC or AMR. Looks clean though. I actually liked the diamond racing wheels on though lol.

    THanks all. As far as suspension goes I was looking at PIC coilovers to replace the D2's and a 24mm ASR rear sway bar among other little odds and ends.

    The interior needs some work like all the sub and am wires removed, hardware for the steering column, new carpet, I want some bucket seats, and some plastics replaced. The headliner is still in good condition
    (919): so I was just driving high and I stopped to let a pinecone cross the road because I thought it was a hedgehog.
