new chick on the block
 

Hey all.. My name is Ren and I am from Atlanta, Ga. I have a 1994 Honda civic Ex... just got it three weeks ago and as of now its still stock except for my Rockford system i just installed. i was thinking of doing a Jdm overhaul but im not sure where to go with the d16.. Anyone care to add their ideas??

Hello! Welcome here!

Welcome;)

Thanks you guys!!!;)

Do you like Atlanta? What are you still doing at home at this time on a Friday night?

i love Atlanta.. eh I have no life.. My man lives in boston so... my lame ass sits at home cause i dont have many friends here...

That sounds earily familiar.

Lol.. Well I used to have a Dsm.. so did my mom... May 7th I was in an Accident in her 01 Mirage... baddd accident... so I got the civic for cheap... its in great condition.. but i dont know much about honda... hence why i decided to join the forum.. i need to learn... :yes:

hey welcome to HS watch out for the guys! haha we'll im sure you'll find lots of stuff to do with your honda:yes:

Yeah, what's taking Shards so long? :pfft:

i've been warned about the guys... uh oh.. guess i gatta watch my back uh? sok.. Im a big girl.. i can handle it... lol... So anyone got some ideas? Jdm overhaul worth it.. coem on someone has to have some input.....dont be shy now;)

Well, personally I would love to see a JDM V6 in that thing just because of the rarity of that conversion. I don't know what your finances look like though. She's right though. Watch out for the guys. Technically right now you are kinda like a fish surrounded by sharks. Guys here are ruthless.

Well Right now they are kinda short... im just got back to worth 2 weeks ago from the accident.. give me about 3 months and I'd have enough for it possibly.. I thought about going with some eibach sportlines.. and the OEM Jdm cornerlights...and the White/ Red Jdm taillights.. I still not sure where to go as far as intake/exhaust.... I unno what do you think?

oo a fish surrounded by sharks... ahh i love a challange... btw sorry the pic was so big.. i didnt realize my file was that huge.. ill tone the pic down next time...

welcome to HS!got any pics of your ride?

welcome to the board. love the picture!:yes: ;)

haha shards beat yea to it!

JDM is always good. i have just started to it to my lude. i would get Koni yellows and GC coilovers over eibach sportsprings.

not yet.. as i said i just got it three weeks ago.. Its cherry red with black accents.. i wanna get it repainted to a Candy apple red... i think im ganna keep it with no spoiler.. i want it to be somewhat of a sleeper look.. I dunno just throwing around ideas...

Thanks.. That pic was taken about 3 months ago before right before the accident... So Gc rather then Eibach.. any particular reason

:flick:

i was getting my drink on last night biotch haha
welcome to HS chica, man how come I never see such hot girls around here who are into cars.

yay a cute diy girl that knows what she wants and even says engine codes!
:love:
...swing by the civic section for all your ins-and-outs Ren

(yes, if you havent noticed...95% of the guys here are leg-humpers...I try not to be...but sometimes it cant be helped)

Oh, the reason why most people will say gc over eibach is because of their height adjustability. The fact is, eibach springs are used (or were at least) on all gc products. If you think you need to adjust the ride height several+ times per year then go w/ them; I probably shouldve, being in Mi, but...I got standard h&r springs instead...and Im happy w/ them. Get what you think you'll need - quality is the name of the game (especially on suspension parts)

:bs:
lol thats right bro, I'm callin ya out
(i also wanted to use the flag)

Like I said when it comes to hondas im still a newb... although im learning slowly but shortley.. I have alot of friends who are helping me get her all hooked up and help me learn my girl from top to bottom... Ill definatly swing by the civic section...Maybe itll give me some idea on where to go, im so confused.

i like the idea of JDM parts and being a Sleeper. best ideas you could ever have. i would leave the care Black Cherry red. that color is dope.

I think the most important thing is that youre not rolling in here saying "hi I just got a civic...what should I do?" You actually have a plan...if even just a little one.
The majority of starting people dont know what engine they have...youve got a huge jump on them.
Plus your style choice is perfect.

Well I have always been into cars.. I've never been a "girly girl"... I grew up with all guy cousins who are into wrestling and imports..For awhile i thought about wanting to design body kits.. of course my mom was like.. not thats not a sutible job for a girl..:rolleyes: So I ended up being a vet tech which is how i got my pit..(the one in the last pic)... Anywho I couldnt give up cars and I decided that this civic would be my project car.... im very cautious now though.. so I dont see any more street racing in my future... I had my fun while I was in my Dsm...Savannah Drag way was fun....

more girls need to be into cars IMO. kinda throws me off when I meet a girl who doesn't know what something like a lugnut is, blah.

Lol.. sucks huh? I used to laugh at my ex cause I would change is oil and breaks for him... he was like.. "god i feel stupid when im around you". I finally got a decoder for my vin... its a Canadian made Civic Ex/SI...D16z6 engine...1.6L SOHC.... hehe I feel like I learned something today... HEEHHEHEHEHE:banana:

holy crap what a turn-on. That guy of yours should feel great knowing that his girl gets dirty working on cars. I can think of few things that are so awesomely-badass.

You know an easier way to see that its a z6 wouldve just to have looked on the front of the engine block, off to the left. Its stamped onto the plate - "D16Z6" But vin decoding works too.

Well of course I have to do everything the hard way.. ;) anywho... It's kind of funny when I know more about cars then my boyfriends (well ex). My current boyfriend used to work at cercuit city in the auto installions so he works on my system and I do everything else. Hey its a good combo since I know nothing about sounds systems...

i used to go to Ga Southern University and at one of the games my old Dsm had to act up so I was sitting there in the tailgaiting area working on my car... talk about a turn on for guys.. there were more than a few guys there with buldgy pants... hey if you got it flaunt it right????

God I know... and when I start talking about cars and I get into a heated discussion I hate the posers who once you start getting technical with engine codes and stuff they are like... huh???:o

Oh and I just thought I would share this cause it was so damn funny.. I saw and pic of a honda hatchback with a freaken cardboard body kit.. and around here in Atl this guy had a 240 with a custom made wing of a metal 2X4 and two "L frames" that held it up.... God i love people these days...:rolleyes:

:pukey sick

Isnt it sad when people are so desperate they just fuck up their rides?????:no:

Oh and by the way,, if anyone is looking for someone to do some good graphics.... Type-Two.net... my friend owns it. His stuff is amazing....:yes:
