newbie with a 98 EX

i just gotta used '98 EX bc my '90 volvos tranny blew up or somethin. im plannin on putting quite a bit of $$ into the civic but i dont have much to spend yet. anyone have any ideas for some cheaper mods (im goin for good show [interior for now] and alota go)

Painting stuff is always cool. Highlight your interior pieces, vents, gauge bezel, door handles, speaker covers, etc. You can reupholester door panels with some vinyl or something. You color the housing for your headlights (see thread in this forum). And you can flip flop your trunk (just google "flip flop trunk" and you should find something). All that is pretty cheap, less than $75 total. As far as go, i'm pretty sure you need some cash to do something. Intake/Header/Exhaust (I/H/E) is what most people start with as far as performance mods.

if your going interior first...hmm.. everyones different and stuff.. but i started with the sound system... then from there i am plannig out the color scheme.. what guages im going to have and where... swap out the seats refabricate the doors and stuff.. custumized trunk using plexiglass instead of wood... i dont know.. theres so many ways to do it that everyone will either agree with you or have different ways... especially what brand to buy.. its all about CUSTOMIZATION BABY!!! haha

you know whats the next 2 thing imma do next is shave door handles and put on some vertical door hinges

hey wtf is this shit?

TYPE R?!

You can claim your Civic as a Type-R once you've installed altezzas. Check your rulebook, T!mmy.

lol silly me...how could I forget?

pleaseee take that off, other than that your car is hott man :)

T!mmy... that is called a sticker... noting else =)

Ouch xproductionz I never noticed the type R badge b4, not my cup of tea but "To each his own"

poison if you noticed the car isnt xpro's or t!mmy's it was a pic t1mmy found and was wondering why someone would say there civic is a type r

sitckers smickers...haha yes its my sticker i admit.. was given to me by my cousin since he couldnt put it on his crx since it was stolen... but i dont care.. its comming off along with the honda emblem and anything else.. door handles shaved.. gas tank door relocated.. and that stupid desert honda sticker they put on there when i bought it even though i asked them not to... those idiots..

i forgot ..those are not my tailights anymore either.. got different ones now

soory about the cut down on the Type R badge I didnt even think it wasnt your car. I had a Brain Fart.

Hey, I'm the origanal Eckoman here...lol....he just joined...lol... I've been Eckoman on AF since May 2003, and gone by Eckoman other places long before that...hmm...maybe I have a fan club out there and I didn't know it...:grinno:

BTW, I'm glad to here you canned the type-r sticker...also, did you paint the kit in your picture yet? It's unpainted, only primered in the pic in your sig. Your going to have to have them work on the primer again before you paint it, at the very least spray another guide coat, sand it and spray primer sealer it again...just curious, why didn't you just have it painted and primered at the same time? Driving around with just primer isn't the greatest idea in the world.

TMLxK20 it is xprod car....

the place i bought it from said they would primer it for free instead of the ugly black color it was... i figured the primer would match more to the body for a while until i have enough to get the paint done.. if all goes well it should be painted within the next week or 2

woah! thats fuckin awsome eckoman... eckmans my last name tho, so whos bootleggin whos name now huh? haha jk

now now kids.. haha

I cant wait to see your kit painted that is going to look bad ass.

woah! thats fuckin awsome eckoman... eckmans my last name tho, so whos bootleggin whos name now huh? haha jk

Hey, I actually started going by this name log before AF, lol. I decided on it because I used to wear a boatload of Ecko clothing, so I was like a walking "eckoman." The pdx part came about because I am from portland, and pdx=portland. HAHAHA, that's funny though, I never seen anyone with a name even cloth to mine, that's why I was like...hmmm....I'll have to poke a little fun at him, lol.

Quick note about stickers, I saw a v6 chevy silverado with a mercedes bumper tag, a hemi badge, v-tec badge, and a side sticker that says "Nascar Formula 1 Racer"...I've learned not to rag on poorly stickered cars since. It's pointless...there are odd people out there, and they're breeding.

Speaking of sticker and badges, this ones great...there's this crappy looking white hatch near my house that this girl drives. So a few days ago, I am on the road and I pass it, and then I see it....she has a BMW logo on the hood and hatch...and I can tell it's a stock motor (not bashing sotckers, just an observation). I mean, okay...BMW logos shouldn't go on a non-beamer, but that was just too much. She obviously thinks she is being cool...if she only knew...maybe she knows the Mercedes Hemi powered Vtec Silverodo guy.

speaking of stickers and stuff... does anyone remember back in the days when people used to take and steal emblems off of honda cars and stuff and wear it like a necklace?? hAHA

Aww, the stupid things people do...That reminds me, you know how people used to steel the hood ornement emblems off of Merecdes-Benzs'? An insurence agent I knew once told me this lady got sick of here emblem being ripped off, so she had the edges sharpened to a knife like edge. Anyways, you can guess what happened the next time someone tired to steel the emblem. That would suck though to accidently grab it while cleaning the car.
