Your Civic definitely reminds me of the FNF days, hooly throwback. That JZX100 is insane!

baaack
and picture heavy btw

So this is an update going over mainly just the Civic. I had planned to update on everything.....but I just didn't.. so this will do.

So basically the kit (besides the hood) has been fitted. Nobody sells the EJ2 Bomex hoods anymore so it's gonna be hard to find one but I will eventually.
Hopefully.
I have had the kit for a while now but I just never fitted it. I had some free time so I decided it would be better to fit it instead of leaving it to sit in the hallway in my house.



Took a while to remove the old bumpers and skirts. It was hard to fit the jack under the car, it's lower than I thought tbh



The garage was kinda busy today, we had an AE86 and a JZX100 Mark II.




I loved this JZX100 - it was super low. It could barely get in the door without scraping.



It was running staggered CST Hyper Zero and Work Vienna Kreis and was tucking haarrdd.
May have the JZX bug now. Might have to pick one up some day.



Anyway, back to the Civic - I had fully fitted the kit after a while and it looked sooo good (to me)



But now for the biggest and my most favorite part - the wing.



I really think this sets off the build in the way I wanted to. It has that 1999 feeling imo.



Next up is to replace that crusty exhaust tho

Took the Civic out for "photoshoot" once I had finished - after all I still needed to drive this home.


/\ loved this shot for some reason



That's it for now anyway. I love how the Civic looks currently and next thing up for it paint and other little things - like white tails or y'know, turbo.
bye for now lol

also quote cause new page lol

# KondzixsPL : dunno how 2 feel about it
I wasn't really expecting people to like this really, I'm surprised nobody has said "eww ricer!!!11!1" yet
# Soju : It looks so nostalgic! Any plans for crazy paintjob, decals and neons? :))

I was about to hook you up with the finds, but no luck. Sorry to tell you I couldn't find BOMEX hood for your Civic.
It's sooo nostalgic :)
For paint and decals I was thinking maybe baby blue and some white stripe decals because baby blue was very popular/most popular colour at that time. Still very rough ideas but I will see what I would go with as I build it. Neons are definitely happening too. Gonna try have period correct stickers too.

It's ok about the hood too, I wasn't really expecting you to find one because I know how hard it is to find one too. I'll find one sometime hopefully
# saletl : I'm totally into the civic. Just a black paintjob and you're ready to rob some trucks!
Thanks :) yeah lol
# marcus915 : Your Civic definitely reminds me of the FNF days, hooly throwback. That JZX100 is insane!
Big throwback but good throwback imo. That JZX100 was insane, it's completely static too so it doesn't have a good ride (obviously) but it still looks sick. The color reflects really well too. Might have to buy a JZX myself ;)

Yeah really does look like a Underground 1 car lol.
If I was to get a JZX100 I would have two 1JZ cars, never get enough. I have too many cars now for another one though.

I literally don't have space for my cars in my driveway. R34, Civic, 180SX and Lagano's S14 on a small driveway in the middle of urban Tokyo doesn't work well tbh lol

Just a small update on the Civic

I bought a JVC Double-din touchscreen radio and KEYS steering wheel for V$290 from UpGarage.
The radio is really easy to use and looks cool, I might have to get one for my 180SX.

Next step is a giant "tear" vinyl down the side. Or a DOHC swap.

New Car

I'm baaack
So while I was gone, stuff has happened. I got a new car, started the turbo manifold for the Civic and other things I will show later.

Like I said I bought a "new" car. It's a....

1993 Nissan Silvia S13!

Nah it isn't lol jk hahaha help

So the car I really bought is a 1997 Daewoo Tico DLX.


So.... this is quite a weird purchase. I seen it for sale in a random sales lot in Tokyo somewhere.
It was only Y65,562 which is extremely cheap for a car which is in such good condition. It has Shaken for another 3 months and even came with a free air freshener that smelled terrible and gave me a headache.



Yes it is LHD, it was an import into Korea a couple years ago. I don't know the original country it came from but oh well.



It has a 0.8l 3 cylinder engine. That's all I know about it. Not much to note on it really besides running quite well.




The interior is clean besides a few wear marks here and there but what can you expect from a 20 year old car.
It even has the original wheels too.
Can't wait to modify this little nugget.




I also got started on the Civic's exhaust manifold for the turbo. One of my friends had it previously but had a few cracks here and there, welded it up and it's fine.




Got a new exhaust from UpGarage too. No more crusty exhaust finally.


forgot this btw

Ticoerotico

hey

So I bought wheels for this little nugget. I love it too much it's kinda like a problem.
I bought Hayashi Yayoi in 15 inch for Y218.844 from Yahoo Auctions. (!!!!).
I spent too much, help.




They're wide af compared to the original rims. They really fill the fenders and they match it sooo much imo.
I taped the headlights too because it looks cool. That's the only reason.

Thanks! I just hope that people actually realise that the Civic is styled towards the 1999 import scene in America. Some people don't get it but I just want the style back tbh

I wanted to get 13s originally but there was none I liked. It's actually on stock suspension too btw.
(I didn't have any 13/14 tires so I had to go 15, if anyone has any pm me thx)

180SX

So I have a couple days off and I'm pretty bored so I thought let's go install some fuckin tail lights. why not?

I bought custom clear tails from Marcus a while ago, never fitted them because I'm lazy af. I fitted them on my own but it's easy to do anyway.

It was relatively nice for mid-winter Japan so I took the 180 out for a drive.



Model 5's looking shiny as fuck when they're clean



Clear tails match it sooo much better

I also fitted my strobe light and StreetGlow neon kit I bought some time ago. Really adds to the car when I'm hard parking it because it never really sees the track.



big changes in garage line up soon, bye.

Changes


so.
this is kinda sudden, but,
i've sold my 180sx and Skyline.

i decided to buy my own garage and because of this they needed to be sold. It was hard to do but oh well. Had to happen some time - the Tico and Civic are still here though.
lifes been kinda hectic moving to a new garage and all, so i have had some time to browse what i want to build.

I've bought two cars for a total of Y693,982. Not much for two cars in good condition for their age.
the first car is a 1984 Toyota Mark II GT
it has a stock 1G-E non turbo engine with relatively boaty suspension. It was previously owned by a non-smoker so the interior is in good condition.




It has shaken for another 2 weeks so i will have to get it tested again but thats no biggie.
I have already bought and half-fitted coilovers too, i stopped because i had to go buy my second car.

My second car is a 1992 Nissan Fairlady Z Twin Turbo S
This was something i never really thought i would have but hey, shit happens. It's not registered currently but i will be getting it done soon

i found this for sale online for Y479,916 which is cheap for a car like this. It was cared for meticulously by the previous owner and it shows.
It's completely stock and i cant wait to start building it




The Tico hasn't been forgotten, neither has been the Civic.
The Tico has gotten a front bumper lip and sideskirts. They're just modified skirts from other cars i bought in UpGarage for Y31,994 which is pretty cheap tbh. Rattle canned them white and they look pretty good. The Yayoi's have also been painted a darkish purple color, i like it a lot better.



this is it i suppose, guess im back
