Hi guys, thought id Start here by showing you my car so here goes...
I owned a Saxo for the first year of my driving life, and to be fair i liked it, was a brilliant car and for a 1.1 it looked the tits...
to this
The Civic...
Now my dad works at Aston Martin which is an 80mile round trip everyday from home, so he wanted something fairly cheap to bomb up and down the motorway, i was chuffed and envious at the same time when he bought an EJ9/EK civic, so when he decided he wanted a change in december 07 i snapped his hand off and paid him a grand for the civic id always really wanted...
Pre-Facelift EJ9 in Lightning Silver metalic
it pretty much satyed the same for about 2 months while i gathered money to do what i wanted to it, however i saw an exhaust on ebay for a rediculous price brand new, im not the type to wack a loud exhaust on a car that hasnt been modified in any other way but once it arrived i had to see what it sounded like. I also removed the hub caps for the more used and abused look
After this i continued to save for what was origionally going to be my first mod, Suspension. After hearing bad reports on ride quality of some coilovers, and the price tag of some of the others, i decided my best bet would be to go for a good damper and spring combination in the form of Koni Yellows and Koni -35mm springs.
Couple of weeks later my Rotas Arrived and i was ready to get cracking...
After the nightmare that was the LCA Bolt, i had to replace the one LCA as the bolt was well and truely stuck inside the bush, after taking it to be pressed out there was no luck. So off to honda i went with bush in hand (oooo errrrr). Honda couldnt supply me with just a bush (unless i found the part number which i didnt know then) and they wanted £109.99 for one LCA, so onto ebay and some Alloy LCA's were ordered.
Overnight parts from Japan!
(well they were overnight parts, but more like from stafford)
and this was the result
didnt lower it as much as i thought but then it hadnt settled at that point
After a couple of days...
