lmk what u guys think of it i know i need rims , lips and a paint job

[JdmRevelations]

not a bad start...but like you said... some wheels would make a HUGE diff... but we cant have it all so.... keep us updated...

[semij20]

yea im gonna drop some hx wheels then polish the lip and paint it red

[Dina]

Looks good! Looks like your front bumper is coming off or something. but all in all its a good start. I would clean up that engine bay and hide some of those wire's.

How did you hear of us?

[semij20]

thru jdmcasnova

[queso]

hx wheels would look clean on there, keep us updated bro

[G-rat]

looks good....keep it up

[Dina]

any updates on this?

[2coupes]

good start!

[jdmcasanova]

nice pics jr....................

[semij20]

nice pics jr....................

thanxs josh

[Jspec EJ1]

nice ride all u need is rims! good start though :TU:

[Foos]

Nice engine transplant. I see you went for performance first. As far as the exterior goes, I would say get your front bumper fixed so it fits better, remove the pinstirpe, paint your driver door to match, CTR headlights and like everyone else said...some wheels. Those would be some future plans I would suggest.

Other than that it looks like a great start. Oh, and your tail lights are from all 99-00 Civic coupes, not just Si's just to let you know.;)

[Moe2005]

Looks like a great start. What part of Florida are you from?

[semij20]

ft lauderdale

[semij20]

updated pic i got new wheels on there . put hx's and repainted them red with a polish lip

[G-rat]

those hx's look nice.....what kinda paint did u use cause im lookin to re spray my rims black

[semij20]

thanx bro they were gunmetal be4 took me hours to strip the paint. i use 500 degree paint

[131maxSi]

Just my advice, but lose the gauge bezel and the foglight switch is in the wrong hole! It's the small shit that I am picky about!

[jdmcasanova]

u faggot ,,,,, tell every one who gave u those paint skillz ;)

[boosteddx]

sorry but those rims look kinda awful to me...but i in truth i hate those gab or rotas whatever in red....

[jdmcasanova]

sorry but those rims look kinda awful to me...but i in truth i hate those gab or rotas whatever in red....

anything's better than a damn SI lip. PLAYED OUT. i would have left the 96-8 front on it and thrown a factory CTR lip on it. mmmmmmm. looks good though.

[semij20]

just got my new headlight in will take pic tomnrrow

[CamoEj1]

I like the lip I dont know what ol'boys talkin bout'.

[boosteddx]

[semij20]

[JdmRevelations]

headlights compliment the grill and front lip

[semij20]

Took some pictures today with a couple of my friends car too

[semij20]

here is pic of my ctr shift boot and also i finally change the center council to the oem one and not that red thing


and her is my ls spark plug cover. this is a new item that only one person makes it

[Mr.MAN]

looks awesome man

[red4]

new pictures are looking good man. the headlights are awesome. i would think about painting the center grill section of your bumper black though. i think that would really pull together the look of the front end.

i like that wire cover too. who makes it? also, do you know if that style valve cover will fit on an OBD1 B18B?

[G-rat]

i agree with mike on this one....paint the grill on the mottom black and it will look mint.....but new lights are lookin good.....nice front plate btw...i got one also

[Sctcivicem!]

1996-2000 Coupes Ftw!!!

[Mr.MAN]

woooooohoooooo i am pumped!:eek:

[G-rat]

oh and i forgot to ask....u gettin some rims in the futere cause some black rims would compliment your black on red theme very nicley.....my color theme is similar just blue instead of red:D

[semij20]

well i bought the car in Jan. of this year. I've been working on car for over 8 years and learning from others. this is my favorite car so far and i work on it as much as i can because I'm working or going to school its hard to work on it. well her are pic of the build and ill add more ask i get more stuff added.

Jan 20. 2008. this is how i bought the car. i added the carbon fiber hood, the ctr style black housing headlights and the rims. i dont have pics before that.








Feb. 09 2008. i decided to do the 96-98 to 99-00 A/C Climate Control conversion. the conversion took about 2 hours with a help of a friend. I also did the power window/lock conversion did my self which took about 7 hours. i have no pics of doing the power just the before and after
the old setup.



when the dash was off and the new ac boxes on


the new setup. power windows and lock with the 2000 dash and the double din pioneer navi. you can also see the the ctr shift boot, s2000 shift knob,and si cluster


Mar. 03 2008. i got the car painted milano red. the car had a blue back bumper , black front bumper and well the red was faded as hell. i decide to leave the side molding, the mirror, and the side skirt black because i like the red and black theme. the mirror are going to be replace with carbon fiber spoon replica. i also put 00 civic tail lights

[semij20]

theyre use and i got them thru a friend and i got them thru a trade

[Foos]

Nice. I hope to get my hands on some of those seats one day.

[mportedcivicsi]

Looking really good, while I'm a coupey I dig the hatch as well! You going to pick up a c/f front lip to go w/ the black/ red theme and to go w/ the c/f parts you already have? How about fogs, any plans?
