Congrats, and welcome to S2ki.
Your Civic looks really nice, very clean. I still use mine as a daily beater

 

very nice. congratz.

 

Welcome to the club!

Nice hatch, I can tell you are a person of tasteful mods. It looks clean!

I'd also be interested to hear what else you did to it, namely under the hood? Was it a rocket?

Enjoy the S!

 

...i dont consider the route i took with my hatch rice, but whatever floats your boat, i loved that car alot.

As to what it had done...mainly suspension stuff, it was the same for about 3 years (Skunk2 coilovers, KYB shocks, SSR sways and tie bars, rear camber adjusters, Skunk2 front adjustible camber arms...few other things) and had a 5Zigen miracle fireball catback...

Me and my husband were going to put a B18b motor we bought into it, but after taking it apart after purchase (mind you, it tested and cranked just fine) we found alot of problems with it that we were in the process of fixing (redoing rings, replacing seals and stuff)...we had initially planned to do a hybrid with a teggy Type-R head on it but it all kinda fell apart when we found that the tranny we had also needed syncros and stuff...it was just a headache. SO we sold the engine and tranny for $700 and decided to put the hatch up for sale...made a nice profit too, amazing what you can do when you market those cars to the right age group (15 year old rich kid...first car and very impressionable father)

The wheels were a set of exels we got off a shop sponsorship along with an intake and stuff but the rest we paid for...we made our money and then some.

Im loving the S though...it is a really different experience than a little car that handles well i guess mainly because its my first rwd car (besides my husbands old 4-Runner)...handles awesome and just looks great in my opinion, we have some plans for it...but for now we are just kinda enjoying it as it is while we try to find a replacement for my husbands CL Type-S...plagued with tranny issues, so until then, im just gonna drive it and maybe start looking for rims (since i know getting the right offset is going to set me back quite a good bit of cash.) Lowering will probobly be the first major upgrade...looking at Tein setup but still browsing.

Anyways...thanks for the props, heres some more pictures along with my husbands car...

 

the civic was very clean. ur hubby needs to lower his CL-type S, but since he's getting rid of it, its all good.

 

Congrats and welcome

 

Welcome aboard and nice color choice. . I like your hatch, my buddy got one it has a b18c1 motor in it and pretty fast. It sounds like the mods you did for your was used for autoxing. Your going to like your S.

Congrats Pam. Add you location to your profile so we know where you are

Step one, get some Ohlins or JRZ coilovers with beefier springs (400-600# range). Step two, there is no step two

 

welcome aboard!

 

That hatch would be sick with a B20/VTEC, or a K20. Congratulations on your purchase, red hondas are nice. I had a red 00 Si, and a red Prelude.
