I don't like those rims but you got a nice and clean Civic, i see it was a little expensive but it's in really good condition. :)

I'm not too keen on the rims either but it's still a good Civic either way; it is gonna change eventually.

So since I was here last, I have made some changes to the Civic. Not major changes, but changes.



When I last posted something of the Civic it had Work Equip's (which I'm selling, V$400 w/70% tires) which have now changed to Work Meister S1's in 16 inch. They cost me V$871.93 (which is a bit steep I know)Link

I also got a Spoon muffler and Spoon carbon lip spoiler. Both together cost me V$717.72. Got some of my "Team" [which isn't really a team yet] stickers printed "Club Midnight Wonder". Cost me V$10.
Altogether this cost me V$1545.38

That New Car Smell


Is what I wanted. But...

All I got was oil and old air fresheners.

So I finally got time to take pictures of my newish car.



The Nissan 180SX Fuccboi Club


So I know everyone has one but whaddya gonna do, right? I just couldn't resist...


So yesterday, scrolling through Yahoo Auctions Japan, I found a class 180SX for sale. It had no pictures of the car but from the description it looked pretty good. The guys number was listed, so I called him and asked for some pictures, just to see what the car was like. This is what I got:






The car looked amazing. I knew this was the one I wanted, and luckily he wanted to swap, which for me, was perfect.
I thought.

He came to pick up the Civic up at 4PM the next day, told him it was all G. He said he would pick up the 180, drop it at my garage and that would be it.
For the next 3 hours I waited anxiously for the arrival, but eventually had to close up to go home.

I arrived the next day to the sight of a beaten, poor, abused 180SX. My heart sank. I was scammed.









The only thing that was actually true about the advert was the engine and the make/model. Everything else was all lies.

This is now my new daily, and the only car I have. The car runs, but only on 3 cylinders.
I'll keep posting as I make progress.

Progress


But slow progress.

Since you seen it last, I re-fitted everything with force and glue, then put on the SSR Mesh I got from Ward. I have a exhaust pipe coming from Fastcar later on. I also primed and filled some parts that needed it.

This is currently how it sits.


I'll post again tomorrow with the new exhaust.

It's got a SR20DET with a Garret turbo. It's one of the main reasons I got the car.
I have a pignose bumper coming from Lagano also but thanks anyway :)

It doesn't look that bad, right?


So since you seen the 180SX last, it has gotten a full respray, some custom graphics, wide front fenders, Koguchi Power rear fenders, pignose front bumper and headlights. I still have to either get spacers or different alloys, because that wheel gap tho. Altogether for the Headlights and paint it was V$1950.




Taking off all bodyparts and replacing the SSR's with the old rims.





I got it resprayed in a Crimson Red with custom blue smoke effect stuff. I think it looks cool.




If you want me to put any of your brand stickers (or whatever idk) just leave a post then PM me with the image.
That's all for now

Looks much, brighter. And less of a online scam! The pink and blue are growing on me... But you did a good job painting the car!

Changes

So since I posted last I've done a bit of shopping.
I bought 326 power chaikiuri coil overs and Ganador mirrors from David_2709 for V$1400

I also bought a set of BLiTZ Type 3 alloys w/ tires, a Kakimoto exhaust tip, a Domo drift charm and a Wangan-styled wing from eBay. These cost me V$805 (real prices, lost links)





I'm also willing to join a team so if your starting one, message me. Or if you would like to be in a team we could start one. Just message me k thanks.

You could say it's unique

Added 1 hour 9 minutes later:

Wheel Changes


Again.

So I didn't really like the set up I had with the rim/height combo so I decided to change it. I found a set of SSR Kei Office Dori Dori's in 15 inch for V$450 (real price), which I think is a steal. I also gave it a wash, pics:





I also (probably) have joined Side to Side Team by the time this is posted so maybe more on that later.
