I know my build is much lower budget than most other awesome builds but this is the first car I'm really learning on. I was spoiled by having a 96 EX civic coupe in CGP green and it was nice but I never really got to do awesome stuff to it like Ive done so far on this wagon (even if it seems noobish)
I need a checklist and I need to stick to it so voila! this "build" thread

I want to do the following in exact order
-Replace headlight housings and corner light housings
-Replace Fenders
-Replace rear pass. door
-89-91 EF Rear LCA's
-Extended top hats front/back
-Camber control Kit
-Get the missing trim on the pass. side
-Get a stock stereo
-Get an alarm
-Get a paint job "professionally" done by me with professional tools! =] Air compressor and gun and the workss
^ I know for sure I need to do this list here..

But ultimately performance wise I want to swap in a D16z6 with a d16y8 intake manifold and go low boost..
and for looks I'd like some Diamon racing wheels... 15x8 +15 offset i believe on some 175/50/15? I believe im close but I wont REALLY look into it until I'm looking to drop real money

Questions comments concerns rants flames hate love help?

    Welcome buddy.... please I tell you don't even bother with diamond racing. Look cool but ride like shit and I'm not the only one that has had them. Ledler also just rid of his brand new set. I had mine a year and just got rid of them.
