Hi guys!

I'm from Portugal, and kinda new in this forum

I bought the car with some tuning (shockers + springs, exhaust, intake, etc.) and, as the previous owner had all the OEM stuff, i've put the car in original condition again. I'm a stock lover :D

Here are some photos of my EK4 Hatch :) Sorry for my bad english, ok?

Just to keep this updated... photo taken on a little trip to Nazaré, here in Portugal :) a nice coastal town

The car remains pretty reliable, I'm doing regular maintenance and it keeps going like a champ. Every week I do some touges in back roads :) after all that's what the B16 was built for
 
Oh and I forgot to post the pics of the mudflaps

Changed the tires to Hankook's Ventus V12 K110 a while ago, and painted the exhaust box, it was rusted and pretty ugly... now it looks new :)
 
a stunning unmolested example mate :) looks very clean and nice to see it being kept in its original condition :)
 
Very clean , as said it looks as if it brand new lol

What the plans for it Bro ?!

Hmm I think about upgrades all the time, but the question is... this is my daily ride, and the car is user-friendly the way it is...

It's totally a sleeper, nobody (unless 1 ou 2 guys until today) even notices is a sporty Honda. This aplies to thiefs as well. I see young lads pass by the car and don't even have a second look. Same goes for police.
I had a CRX I-VT and an EG6 previously, and they get much more attention :drool: (for the good and bad reasons...)

The more I mod it, the more pleasure I'll have in spirited driving :drive: but then I'll catch more attention, besides the money that's spent (generally, it doesn't valuate the car in any way, if I want to sell it afterwards)

The car is relatively cheap to maintain (besides gas consumption, not so good), and I have no troubles with the law and inspections...

Is someone following my thoughts around here? :))

Yeah m8 I don't drive my car like a 70 year old, I love twisty roads :nice: And yes I think of the all the extra fun of modding... hehe... must agree with you!

I would definitively go for a street-touge attack sleeper setup :win:
 
id get coilover's and a set of sticky tyres mate,will improve handling greatly and wont make much difference to loks itll just be lower
 
Catch your drift bud its one of my big paranoias , it get noticed for the wrong reasons :nice:

How about Spoon progressive springs? The lowering is just 1 inch or so... They got good reviews, one friend of mine has got them on his S2000 and he is crazy bout them... improved handling with no big compromise in ride confort

I wonder if there's a way to paint them in black... so that in inspections they don't :blabla:

By the way, what do you consider sticky? Intermediates? I know that the grip increases dramatically, but the noise for daily use is kinda... strange
