new forum, so new start. Here's my '97 Honda Civic VTi from Belgium. I bought the car in '08 to replace my EJ9

When I got the car home, first thing I did was preparing it for a new paintjob.

The car in '08... painted in RAL 7023

I drove around like this for 2 years, when in 2010 I grew tired of the RAL color and prepped it for a second paintjob in samurai green. The exterieur of the car is always changing, so in the pics you'll see a lot of different bumpers and wheels. The car is now used for trackdays and weekend driver.

this was the EJ9 the EK4 replaced. I bought the EJ9 in '99 and kept it to '08. Really loved that car. You could call this color the samurai green V1

Love the way you have switched up the looks on this man! Really want to collect a bunch of exterior parts for mine to be able to do this too.

This pic is extremely cool:

Nice to see it all in one post. You know i love your car and how you keep switching it up.

And can't wait to do the trackdays in october together :up:
 
Nice cage, good choice on the harnesses also, makes a change from the usual fake takatas most people use
 
Thanks. One off the reasons I didn't want Takata's is that everyone has them and the difference between fake and real is hard to tell (or for me it is)
 
Beast, love the cage and seats!
Cheeky little diffuser looks neat!
