What do you want out of it? Its not going to be fast because its a a civic, and its not going to look nice because its a civic.

Now, it'll get great mpgs and be reliable because its a civic, but I wouldn't spend money on any suspension it unless you're hispanic, because thats what hispanics do.

It's not rice fag

>>15796494
I have a 97' no pics on hand but welcome to the club, they're fun to throw around corners and skid in the snow, but id say lowering spring or coils, an axleback (fuck performance, catbacks sound like a shit) and some rims, also clean those headlights :)

I'm white... I like the body and the reliability.

I'm also a poorfag so...

I kinda like this yellow, how many spray cans would it take?

Catch it up on maintenance, clean the interior and fuck off
>>
>>15796507
Alarm system why?

>>15796509
No

>>15796592
Yeah those lights are the first thing on my list to get cleaned up or replaced. I don't think I'll be doing any suspension modifications at all.

If you don't have a lot of money, don't waste what you do have on your car.

Nothing else to spend on. I need tires, the tires that are on it are shit and one of them is a snow tire. And if I'm going to get tires I might as well check junk yards for a decent set of wheels.

>>15796661
Maaco is better than rattle can, what do they run?
>>
New tires
>>
>>15796697
>might as well check junk yards for a decent set of wheels
You could order a set of Rota Grids cheap. Can't track with them but it's a Civic so that won't be an issue.
>>
>>15796697
$300 for the cheap shit

they can be hit or miss tho

>>15796732
people track on Rotas all the time
>>
>>15796732
>>15796743
Track?
>>
>>15796743
Wait what about plastidip? Is that shit?
>>
Decent set of tires, new plugs and wires, new distro cap, new filters, new oil, and an aux cable. Enjoy your efficient daily driver. There is no point in putting money into it just for the sake of doing it.
>>
>>15796771
Plastidip is shit, yes.
>>15796757
Rotas are cheap enough that they may not hold up to abuse at a racetrack.
>>
>>15796783
All of the ignition parts have already been replaced recently, even the timing belt was recently done and both front axles have been replaced with new seals as well.

So I guess my list is:
Tires
Clean lights (and install LED headlights)
Touch up paint

What about the sunroof shade it's kind of shit is that easy to replace?
>>
>>15796816
>LED headlights

no

youll blind everyone in the oncoming lane

and yes the visors are clip on deal

as expected carry on.

Not talking about those, talking about the one for the sunroof.

If you do plasti dip well it looks good. Most people don't come close to doing it well.
>>
>>15796959
That's exactly how I would steal it. Dumbass in the video called it the coiler thing. It's the ignition switch. You pop the steering wheel cover off and it's held on by 2 or 3 tiny bolts. Pull it out and start with screw driver. I watched my friend steal my integra this way.
>>
So I thought I have valve noise but I am reading about LMA (Lost Motion Assembly) causing noise and fucking up VTEC power. Engine is D16Y8, does this mean VTEC is not kicking in yo?

I guess I am going to tear into it and rebuild the LMAs and adjust the valves, probably fix a little oil leak at the same time.
>>
>>15797696
youll know if VTEC is working by the crossover sound when you bring the rpms up
>>
>>15796502
Just put some nice looking 15 inch wheels on and you're good
>>
>>15796592
>Catbacks sound like a shit

???
Quit buying premade exhausts if you don't like the sound. Or add a glass pack to the system.

Ur ignant

Well I guess it's not, I figured if it failed it would code.

just buy some new tires and dont buy anything else. save your money for when the market crashes from all of the delinquency
