My 95 Milano Red Coupe Si

[crazydragonclk]

Fav photo - photos after are in order or progression





Hey guys just was going through some photos today and decided to post some progression picx of where my car was and where its now and what i plan on doing next, hope you enjoy pictures as much as i do because there are alot!

First Car bought in January, heres my 3 months of hard work.

Future work or aspirations
1 spoiler, adding next week, paint and install
2 seat covers, just for cosmetic, low budget style
3 Re, Repaint wheels, different color, kind of want to do gunmetal or white.
4 lower - MAYBE
5 Learn more about engine stuff, not necessarily for racing or speed just for knowedge



stock, changed nothing but back badge to Vtec tuning cuz i hated the stock civic si


painted and changed emblem, decided to go with blue which is my fav color, i know it can look kind of cheesy but i can always repaint the wipers, but for now ill leave em.


1)painted wheels chrome, becuase of the destroyed finish from the previous owner, didnt do a clear coat and it got messed by road grime and chemicals, but i redid it aluminum after and did a clear coat 2)did side trim red, with 2 tries first time was wrong color and 2nd time came out great from the help of Joseph, thanks.


Some diff pix, just when i preinstalled the rear, my son helping me out with wheels and rear install, and some photo shoot shots after a wash


my first engine clean job from the help of the fellow who did the DIY, thanks goes out to you whoever you are!

Nice progress.

She's beggggging for a drop! Put some coilovers in there!!

Keep us updated!

[GreedyGreddy]

Very nice beginnings. First time I tried to clean my bay I fragged my ignition module in my dizzy. Man i felt like an ass but I wrapped it up in plastic, maybe I will use a condom next time...anyways is that a ninja in the driver's seat. He looks vicious

[crazyxzer0]

looks good so far minus the blue..

My favorite color is blue but I can't seem to like it on your car with the red.. it really doesnt match for me.

What are your next places? Some rims and drop would be a plus for this car.

[OniFactor]

looks good, what skirts are those?

[JdmRevelations]

great start man... keep us updated

[crazydragonclk]

looks good, what skirts are those?

they are mugen sides front and typer rear. and stock spoiler

yes i plan on changing the wipers back another color, but im kind of lazy rioght now what color do you guys think??

for dropping it, its not not on the priority list but i think i may in the future depending on the cheapest and valuable way i can do it.

[EJ1 Freak]

Like everyone else has already said...great start and definately keep us posted on her progress! :TU:

[MS. EJ8]

[mienboiracer209]

other than a drop, your car is sweeeeeet!!! klean engine bay too...

[crazydragonclk]

im planning to take some pictures of the recent changes, mainly painted wiper blades, changed license plate covers. and perhaps gonna fix up the emblems after a nice paint of chrome

[crazydragonclk]

heres the updates

Painted wiper blades back to black, changed gauge to led blue lights, and using metal color plate covers instead of blue shields.

[white_rice]

those blue lights are kinda hot
they easy on the eyes?

[JdmRevelations]

blue not really my way of going but looks nice and bright great job..

[crazydragonclk]

those blue lights are kinda hot
they easy on the eyes?


yah they arent blinding or nothing because the gauge actuall takes all the real brightness away

[crazydragonclk]

[crazydragonclk]

[crazydragonclk]

when i get the new tail lights ill post a pic in about 1 week or so time its on its way from la right now, and i just painted my front calipers gold, bronze color.

[crazydragonclk]

Hey just an update on things ive recently done, anyways mainly calipers were painted.

[crazydragonclk]

A long deserved update, i have repainted my rims bronze for a while buit gonna be doing them back to a sluminm silvr color

[crazydragonclk]

ive been getting my rust spots rear well redone, i had it rewelded and im almost done the body work and all, too bad after buffing and polishing the paint theres still a lil but o overspray look in differnt lighting or angles

I have since completed the quarters, had the rims repainted to a light aluminum color with a blue haze when they are nice and clean, a new exhaust tip that fits nicely.

[crazydragonclk]

Heres some updated pics that i took a few months ago

Body Work that needed to be done for a while, had it spot welded and did the rest







Completed Bodywork shots

[crazydragonclk]

Changed emblems to red, im goin for a more clean look i guess you could say less contrast, the white got old to me.

I did the rear by taking it off and painting it with scratch x filler.





next plan are rims, heres PHOTOCHOPS of how i want it to look





Gonna get it for xmas $649 with lugs no tax canadian otherwise around $450usd or something

[PandaCoupe]

Gonna look good. EK sides FTW!!

[G-rat]

good work so far...i agree though with skunk....ek sides would compliment your ride very nicley

[crazydragonclk]

what year would be best to fit onto my 95?

[G-rat]

96-00 coupe

[crazydragonclk]

Got my rims

[crazydragonclk]

Slid on a patch of ice on a right turn and hit a curb, busted front lip, ddented in rad support beam and cracked radiator. anyways got a used rad and a new front lip, havent painted it, will probably leave it until summer. and my tranny is going need a new one. and new side ambers

[G-rat]

damn man sorry to hear....sounds like u got everything to fix it already though lined up....when are u gonna be puttin the wheels on...after winter?

[crazydragonclk]

[crazydragonclk]

Scroll down for the newer photos

Got my tires mounted and balanced last night, havent got any decent pics of it on the car but heres a photo of them.

Falken ZX 205x45x16

wheel gap has changed alot rears are almost tucking and fronts are still settling, the only thng i regret is that my front end looks really high, but its also bc im used to my 14" stock height











Better Photos as promised








front wheel gap


tire thread shot


The Center caps are on now as I dont like the hub look, I had to get some crazy adhesive before I put them on as they were not secured to my preference.







Wheel Gap shot


Shot I took at night of the Leds


New matching racing seat for my daughter, my son has the exact same one on the drivers side

[furi0usEX]

[Partizan]

Car is looking really nice now. Is it still loweed on s techs?

[crazydragonclk]

yup s techs

[CTB16]

Everything looks great. Color,wheels, stance...perfect.

[PandaCoupe]

I usually dont like those side skirts or front lip but your pulling them off pretty good. Looks nice man :TU:

[Rydock]

Car looks so good. What did you do with your spoiler? Did you sell it?

[crazydragonclk]

i took it off temporarily to fix some rust around the spoiler holes and decided to fill it in for now, waiting for either a more aggressive stock spoiler, or plan on eventualy putting it back on

[Rydock]

I see. If you decide to get rid of it, I might be interested in buying it from you.

[sindre87]

very nice ! i really like your car :) givve us more pics, hehe

[crazydragonclk]

haha ok, lme see if i have nemore, i take tons of photos but only post n upload the ones i like.

[crazydragonclk]

heres some more older photos

Just after I got my rad support and hood realigned from a winter slip n slide in which i hit a curb after sliding on ice. it cracked my front lip and bent up the rad bar which screwed up my hood alignment latch.




heres aroudn the same time time i think jsut after the accident when i got the new lip, $60cad

[crazydragonclk]

my local friend who has a civic and his friend on the far right, the middle car is in the process of becoming a show car


winter photo i took after a snow storm



took spoiler off temp to see for ne rust buildup and to see how it will look without it

[crazydragonclk]

the lock nuts i got for 20$ from my mechanic were chrome so i cleaned the hell oout of them and paintied them with hi heat chromatic paint. they are a lil chipped now bu i prefer them over the chrome color



right after my tint

[Volume 8]

Oh my god, so much red on this page, my eyes hurt.:eek: Just kidding man, looks nice. I like it without the wing.:TU:

[CTB16]

Oh my god, so much red on this page, my eyes hurt.:eek: Just kidding man, looks nice. I like it without the wing.:TU:

lol I was thinking the same thing, almost every car was red. Your car is coming out nicely. :TU: :honda:

[sindre87]

really nice :-)

[G-rat]

lookin good man....i think it looks good with or without the wing

[crazydragonclk]

lookin good man....i think it looks good with or without the wing

see i was wanting to go mad clean and everything with certain accents jus like the license plate and the emblem but now without the spoiler it feels to clean and to empty.

I like it better with the spoiler but not my one, id like a more aggressive one that has more straight edged curves vs the one i have is a aftermarket one that is very roundish and i dont think it complements the car as id like it too.

[crazydragonclk]

somew more pics.

by an architect building i thats nice for photoshoots '

[Rydock]

Damn man nice photos. You got your tint from Audio Heaven right? did you go 20% all around or what? I'll probably go get my tint next week.

Yeah i prefer the spoiler look more. Have you considered the Mugen spoiler that optionjdm offers? The pics of the spoiler on the site look like crap, but i think it looks better in real life.

[crazydragonclk]

ya audio heaven, 35% on front n back and rear i think may be 20, cant remember for the back but i believe and would prefer 35% all around as sometimes it can be hard to see in the rear at night especially when im scanning for the police.

the mugen spoiler i had considered it when i was first getting a spoiler but i dont like the way it mounts with the metal mounting brackets exposed i think it looks ghetto and i dont like it enough over the stock spoiler, but i have seen it dont nicely before.

[crazydragonclk]

2 more from today

[Rydock]

I was deciding to go for 20% all around or 35% front and 20% rear up until what you just said. I drive more at night time than in the day, so I'd rather be able to scan the area. Probably will go all 35% now.

BTW, your Mugen lip is damn perfectly installed. My car doesn't have a lip yet. But I should be getting my lip really soon. Wanna help me install it? =D haha

ya for sure 35% i think is perfect, as well i think too dark looks ghetto unless u have a white car, but in which case the light still looks good on it, as with the haze of the sky and angle of the windows it will have a slight mettalic look to it instead of a blacked out effect.

The mugen lip is real easy to install it takes 2 people to fit it nicely, when i did mine i did it myself but it came out ok, for sure i can help you, im around markham scarborough area., where do u live?

[Rydock]

I like Keele + St Claire area, but I can come up to Markham no problem. I just need to find a good place to by my lip first. I was thinking teknotik cuz they sell it for $80.

[crazydragonclk]

[xLokoNxEj1x]

Nice car man looking real good :)

[97EJ6mike]

Very clean and straight forward. Im really diggin that painted front lip!

[crazydragonclk]

[crazydragonclk]

[j_unit22785]

[crazydragonclk]

some engine shots, clened engine bay over weekend and painted it real quick in about 10 minutes. im taking the photos wifey driving

[crazydragonclk]

my fav photos of the car, wifey is driving it im shooting from my buddies integra. havent done a proper photoshoot with the cars and tires rolling fast enough with crisp shots.
















wifey hit a pothole in the rain, it was a huge puddle she didnt see it. walmarts paving company reimbursed us and i got a some yokohama avid tires on them now, and they are amazing, superior to these falken512s












My new car which is in progress of building as soon as i lower it i will start the rest of the mods. I got it for about 2500, quarters were recently repainted, timing belt water pump recently done, has high mileage about 300 something, but runs fairly good.








here are some other photos from the Canadian aNational Exhibition which is like a carnival up in Toronto Canada
