New ride on this site.

Hello everyone. I found out about this site and decided to join lol. I have a 2000 Civic Ex swapped with a JDM B18C GS-R. I have had thios car for almost 2 years now and earlier this year (2009) I spun a rod bearing and has been sitting in my garage ever since. We finally got an engine for it and is becoming a project but thats what I expected lol. Well here are some pics.

It's amazing how the whole wiring harness can get compacted into 3 plugs to go into the ECU.

It's in but not hooked up took all day to do this. From 10a.m. until we lost sunlight around 5:30ish p.m.

More pics soon to come and maybe a video of the day that it starts for the first time in 6 months.

 

welcome to the site, looks like you're headed in the right direction, now get some lower offset wheels and go lower

 

thanks lol and yeah im getting 16'' XXR 513's black with a red lip and its already too low lol i use to scrape... a lot! lol

 

x2 on specter

and while its just sitting in the garage i would consider doing a partial wire tuck.

but seriously looks like its gonna be a great car. good luck

 

until you drive across the country with only 1/2 an inch ground clearance to your exhaust and 1 inch to frame... you are not low enough

but yeah, what offset 513s?

 

lol yeah thats true haha but im not sure on the offset but i still wanna check in on them and i like to be different and unique with my car and to this day i have not seen a civic with 513's all i see is rota's and i dont want to just blend in i wanna stick out lol

 

yeah we were going to do that wire tuck anyways cuz we have a whole day to do alll the wiring so were going to do it right and make it look pretty:rocks:

and thanks i want it back so bad lol:woot:

 

very nice welcome to the site

 

thank you i will keep everyone posted on the new updates for the ride lol
