Alberto's modest civic build

[Alberto521]

Hello, I already introduced myself in the new members forum, and the Chicago forum.

I am a former Wrx owner, but now I am back to the Honda game (first car was a 97 Civic DX)

Well pic of my car stock.

I bought that car on early June 2014.

Today, August 11th 2014 I made my first online purchases for the vehicle:

- Continental DWS (best all-season tire IMO)
- Injen axle back

I will take pictures and video one installed.

Future plans:

- Plasti Dip vehicle
- Smaller fender flares
- Aero (splitter, sideskirt spoiler)

Welcome! nice list so far. how are you liking the injen axleback?

It drones... nowhere near as bad as a straight-piped Integra, but its noticeable, but the note sure is nice.

On 8/16/14 I installed:

- PIAA yellow fogs
- Injen axle back
- DC Sports SRI

* Continental DWS are waiting in the garage, one of my OEM wheels is cracked, so i was "forced" into buying rims... XXR 531, 17x9 +35 are on the way.

Pics so far and video of exhaust:

 

[webby]

you know how the wheel got cracked?

 

[Alberto521]

you know how the wheel got cracked?

I have no idea, it Looks like it got short by a .50 Cal... Last owner didn't take care of this car at all....

 

[Alberto521]

Oh here is a polite of the cracked wheel.

Tires have about 50% left, no TPMS will be included... A friend offered me $250 for all four... Good deal?

Also, what's a good selling price for OEM axleback and the OEM intake?

 

[Alberto521]

New wheels installed 8/25/14

**** NOTE: I had to get hub rings, sized 73 to 64.1 *****

32,xxx miles
Installed HR springs and SPC camber arms (shootout to Dar-Dar! )

The drop is my taste, I'm loving it! Better pics eventually...Lol

 

[Nix]

Lookin good man.

 

[Alberto521]

Correction to the last post, I'm actually creeping on 37;xxx miles lol.

April 10th, finallyy got an alignment and went for a cruise.

 

[Pauly99to17]

Looks good. Any plans for window tint?

 

[Alberto521]

Yessir, I'm not a fan of dark tints ... At all, and cops are very anal about here in IL, so I'm going to go with 40% all around. And get 80% 3m on the windshield, they got a film that dramatically decreases glare and blocks heat and UV rays, I had it in my older car.

Hey how do the HR springs ride? Are they progressive or linear rate? Thx.

 

[webby]

H&R are progressive

 

[Alberto521]

Thanks for replying that one for me webby, hah, but in my own words, the ride is stiffer, and I definitely feel more grip on corners, but when the road gets bumpy you definitely feel it in the car, specially when you go from a high road to a lower surface level, in the rebound I have hit my head in the rooftop lmao
