This is a car that not enough people attempt to mod seriously. And I applaud you for doing such a fantastic job with an underutilized body style.

When I had a 7th gen, 7thgencivic.com was filled with ricers and people that thought tinting windows was a serious mod.

oh. my. god. , that pisses me off to no extent when people list that as a mod, mostly because I can't even tell the difference $200 later..

And to OP car looks really clean, you really made the most of the stock body lines, only thing I would suggest is possibly a different wheel color, since i think the gold clashes with the silver, but its your car so do what ever the f*ck you want

[johnnykash]

that looks real good.

[bwe45]

ugh this makes me really wish my 7th gen wasnt dying on me looks so mint

[ohhbekay]

thanks for the welcome guys.
I dont plan to build the motor at all really, I'm not into that.

thanks for the construction criticism dudes,
I wanted to get the wheels powder-coated white, but I honestly dont know how long I'll have the wheels.

this site looks great to learn some new suspension set ups and theories.

I couldn't agree with you more. Nice job, OP. I'm surprised that front lip isn't beat to hell.

*Constructive* criticism

[kramerbuccs24]

pretty sweet. i think 16s (not reps either ) would suit the body a little better though

[DeeAOne]

Wow man. Don't see too many of these done nice. Props.

[Jorge]

I didn't even know these existed until the other week. So uncommon when they do look great in this shape, yours is no exception.

[smokenyall]

thought id leave this here.

they sit so high stock!

[ohhbekay]

extended ball joints are in. camber arms are on, but I had to press out the knuckle bushing.

[Bracknaphobia]

You have an exceptionally long middle finger

[ohhbekay]

tons of views, no criticism?

here is some of the old work ive done, suspension is pretty much done with now. nothing else to changed. but here are some photos of the process;









then this happened







so banged out the hubs, new extended studs went on





[IMG][/IMG]

[IMG][/IMG]









rsx cloth seats went in

[ohhbekay]

ordered 1 meter rod to replace the measly 1.5 inch inch studs that are on the hotchkis camber plates




go to work early. cut some rod on the ban saw



this is how long they are;





mind you, this is what they were when I got them;



lol kinda crazy, im made them too long, my fault, I'll cut them down once they are inside the car with a cut off wheel. no biggie.


here it is all welded;





plug welded on the back side. and welded on the other side;






and this is how it looked with some larger hex bolts used as spacers;



again, it wont be that tall. cutting it down much shorter later on.

the only thing I have left is to drill out a piece that goes on the spring, drilling it to allow the shock shaft to go inside of it, instead of just on top where its thread;




and, old vs new;




back to the inverted ends, had to modify them



instead of drilling out my shock arm for the tie rods. I took them to the lathe to remove the tapered end in the bolt. weakening it slightly, but the bolts will be hardened after modification is complete. (aka, make sure they fit in the shock arm)

before and afters;





on the lathe;




inner tie rods are on with the new bracket.

old bracket vs new one. very beneficial;







on the the car;













I can only get up to knuckle in the middle of your finger under the frame



went back to my old set up

[ohhbekay]

and the current spring set up

















had to modify an inner tie rod to get the alignment squared away



was filled with weld after i snapped the pick

[kaidotech]

Damn this car looks good. I need to show my friend this thread to give him some inspiration, he just got one of these and it's all riced out.

[ohhbekay]

and now its painted *dance*













went to IA 2011















and the most current photo before I put it on stands;

[ohhbekay]

extended ball joints and new rear camber arms are on. and went about half in the rear lower and a quarter inch in the front.

its been on the ground for about two weeks now;

[hi its me alec]

Damn dude, this thing is silly low.

How does she ride/drive?

[mmmbarp]

new height is awesome
