The new one

[diegoaccord]

Got pics of it's current condition.

96 Midori hatch CX
99-00 front swap
DIY CTR headlights
Nuespeed springs
Tokico Yellow shocks
Poly bushings
Swaybars
EX cluster
Lipped steelies
CF wannabe Mugen grille.

I've done CTR lights, EX cluster, and Steelies, the front was already swapped, and the suspension was already on.

Looks: I plan to to do all JDM CTR, and match all trim to Midori paint. Rota Cicuit 10 in Gold, 16 inch.

Last thing, this car is slow as fuck, and the D16Y7 seems to run out of power by 6000 RPM. Bleh, it takes a beating to pass someone. After the DOHC ZC CRX and B16A EJ1 coupe, it definetely sucks hard cock. Swap will be happening.

Anyway, heres the new bitch:

Looks good, but I'm not feeling that grill, it kinda makes it look like a Daewoo

[B16KILLA]

Looks nice, i love those steelies.

[diegoaccord]

The grille was already on it. It was full C/F, but I painted the outer part to match to car. You can see that it was C/F in my sig pic, before I painted it. The car will recieve full Type R treatment, including grille.

[B16KILLA]

Is it a salvage or is the air bag jus popped?

[Deadhead]

i was about to ask that...

looks nice, but definatly get some better rims lol..

[gfrg88]

sorry but i think it kind of looks like a girls car imo

[2drSE-i]

not a fan of that gen civic, but i like yours. get some new tail lights for sure tho, that is the biggest thing i hate about those civics. swap it, d16's suck :D

How does it look like a girls car?

[gfrg88]

i think the color of it seems more like for a girl, but then again i dont like that gen of civics so it could just be that....

[bullard123]

Man those spoon civics are nice. I like that color kind of odd but I like it. Running coilovers too?

ek meh. good thing youre doing full type r conversion. good luck dude. was never a fan of that grill....presents a bold statement.

Salvage title. But atleast in the rebuild process they swapped the 99-00 front end on it, which is waaaay better than 96-98. Streeing wheel will be taken care of with JDM EK4 wheel, or aftermarket non airbag wheel.

Tell me about it. I haven't had a car that WASN'T swapped in so long, I forgot what a high 17's car felt like. Not that my other cars were fast, but a B16 coupe and ZC CRX cut atleast mid-low 15's.

As for taillights, I may do 99-00 tails. They are the same, but the amber is replaced with clear.

That's why SHE is a she..... Midori hatch, Kasumi. Even the color's name, "Midori" passes for a girl's name. But oddly, the rare color is why I got it. No red, black, white, or silver.


Running coilovers too?

Nope. Nuespeed green springs, Tokico Yellow shocks, swaybars, and poly bushings. A sleeve setup would be nice.


good luck dude. was never a fan of that grill....presents a bold statement.

Guy said the original grille was scratched up. The statement it presents is ricer. And naturally what sucks is, it's assumed I put it on. Hell, I've tried to un-rice that POS grille! the fitment is also shit too.

i'll have a slice of lime with my cola please.. nice..

[crwa]

I had a friend with a white 99 hatch who did the type-r thing too: His was almost exact: Lips, wing, 5-lug conversion, and built type-r motor, I never rode in it, but from what other friends told me it was scary fast.

[snoopyloopy]

looks good. i just never liked the looks of the 6th gen civic because of the headlights and tails, especially on the coupes. but i hope it works out good for you. and that you can be able to pass people with greater ease in the near future. i do like those lipped steelies. i've never seen that before. looks good.

[Cheeseburger]

looks good bro!!!

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Midori is the best colour honda has ever had IMO... Looks like a good start.
