Bought a cheap EK coupe from out west, wasn't sure what to do with it. HX. Supposedly had a bad head gasket. Put in a thermostat and let it run forever, seemed OK. We'll see.
Decided to make it a winter driver/toy.

2" lift kit
clearance...
Nice car. Any pictures of the EF?
Hey! I'll tune in for this. It's like the opposite of what I'm playing with. I like it.

Fixed that for ya
I had some parts so...
Looks great! Doesn't exactly scream "winter civic" to me though...
Are those Slipstreams? They look great.

Definitely. They are a key part of 90s Honda must haves.

Bought a $500 01 Civic 4 door auto that took that job!
Here it is in its former winter duty.
Maybe I'm biased but thats a great look.
In reply to solfly :
Needs more 98-00 tail lights, but I'm biased against the amber they chose for these turn signals. I need to dig up pictures of my red '97 ex. I rescued it from rice-dom.
I think I have some of those.
Swapped in a better head unit. Upgraded to an Si brake master cylinder. Ordered tires. Going to try to figure out the alignment this week. Major negative camber on one side and way less on the other on the front. Knuckles look ok. Might be mismatched upper control arms?
Parking brake cables in and new tires on today.
Any similarly prices or cheaper coilovers the hive likes better than Tein Street Basis Z? I've used them on a few cars and liked them. Looks like they're about $600 now.
that looks really rust free for that far north good find!
