Welcome! Do you have any mods? Pictures?

[Macbeth182]

At the moment just an Injen SR and Upgraded Dual radio with Rockford Fosgate subs in the trunk.
The money is coming to upgrade to a DC sports header as well as Apexi WS 2
But all in good time.

Oh and I replaced the stock struts with Tokico HP 'blues'.
I'm still riding on stock springs though.
Also, I threw in some ebay projector headlights (don't get me wrong, I am no ricer)
I just replaced them because the stock headlights were beyond restoration.

Here are a couple pictures that I have.

Welcome! :wave:

[Keith]

Welcome! Looks like Ali's sister's Civic (except the color is different). :) Any plans for the future? Are those side/door guards on the side of the car?

Keith

[Macbeth182]

Keith, are you talking about the side moldings? Going down the side of the car horizontally?

[Mike]

Welcome chasis code should be an EM2 me thinks.

[Jacques]

Welcome to HACSTL! :)

[Macbeth182]

Can you explain to me what 'EM2' means? I've seen it used before, but never really understood the termonology. THanks

[Pork Pie]

Its just the Chassis code for the car.

S2000's are AP1 or AP2
Your body style Si's are called EP3's.
I have a 99 EX, or a EJ8.

Its just a fancy way of saying your car.

[Macbeth182]

Oh, I gotcha, Thanks!

[Alikat]

and I have a 00 Prelude or BB6 :P

[Jonathan]

Mine's a DC2, the only chassis code that MATTERS! :D Welcome! When it comes to modding, do your homework first! It pays off in the long run.

[Story Worm]

ahh bb4 duh

[ShadowDancer]

[mstewar]

Genuine honda accessory:

I think the 4 doors all had them, and it was an option/accessory on the coupes.

Welcome to the site!

[Macbeth182]

Thanks everyone for the great welcome!
Yea, when it comes to mods I definitely do my research. Enough to make me think twice a lot of the time.
Thanks Everyone!

Well, let us know if you need any advice or input...

If you need your t-belt change, Mark (mstewar) and I have experience in that. :D

[95accord]

EM2 ftw.

[Macbeth182]

Thanks Keith. Yea I've been thinking about it. I am only at 75,000 right now but I am keeping it in the back of my head. I know my drive belts look a little on the worn side so I may change those in the spring timing belt I might plan on doing in the summer. Thanks

Welcome, from someone who knows how to properly spend money on a civic, do not waste your money on a header. It will give you zero gains. Exhaust is fine, still minimal gains on a stock car but the WS will give a nice quiet sound. Only problem with it is that if you ever do some real mods like turbo, the diameter of the exhaust is too small and will hurt performance. Good luck!

[Macbeth182]

With this car I am not planning on doing a turbo project, thats for my other one, if i ever get around to the money part. I am doing research on doing a K20 swap and with that a turbo project. So yea, I know my way around modifications
