This is my project car and daily driver, a 2000 Civic LX, as it was when I got it. I saw it in its wrecked state and decided it was worth it to fix. It's floating a bit above stock at the moment. I'm out of school and looking for a real job so it could take awhile to save up enough money to do the more expensive mods.

I recently decided that the direction I want to move in is to convert this thing into a 4 door Civic Si. It's an odd angle that no one in their right mind would want to do. That's why I'm doing it. This means swapping in a b16a2, Si cluster, Si leather seats, Si suspension, Si rear disc brakes, Si rims... the list goes on. Some of this is feasable. Some of it isn't. It won't have a moonroof unless something falls on the roof and I can weld on a roof from an EX, for example. This will be a long process. I don't have a lot of extra money but what I can spare will go into the car. In the end it should look like a mostly stock 2000 Civic Si, except it'll have 4 doors instead of 2.

This is my third car for CarDomain. As you can see, my family loves Honda Civics. I had a 1992 Civic EX but it got totalled by my older sister. I gave my old 2000 Civic DX to my youngest sister because she was 16 and needed a car to get to school. My older sister now has a 1999 DX and my younger sister has a 2003 LX. She had a 1997 DX that was totalled in a hit and run before that. We even got my younger sister's boyfriend a 1998 LX to drive. (That's three Civic driving sisters and an almost brother in law if you could follow that.)

Here are the mods and add-ons I have currently installed/done:
Custom "civic" 3rd brake light (summer 2006)
Blue ambient glow on the inside (summer 2006) (removed winter 2008) 
Jensen 500 watt amp

I am at a point where I will need some feedback on my plans and progress on this car, so I'll be updating this page as often as I can. We'll see about some mods when I get some cash saved up.

Haha, I decided to try out this CarDomain video thing and uploaded a couple of amusing and entertaining videos that I'd found on the web. I checked back a bit later and BOTH of them got blogged about. That's AWESOME.

10/21/07
I ordered some tail lights. They'll be here sometime this week.

10/25/07
Tails are here. Will install tomorrow.

3/30/08
I debadged the Civic a few days ago, but it didn't go well. It wasn't my fault though. I'm not the first owner, so I couldn't have known. Pictures on page 3.

7/12/08
I have a few things in progress, so there will be more updates in the next few days. I've got a cold air intake, grille, and fog lights coming, and I have a center console modification planned. All the pieces just have to get here so I can get it all started.

7/27/08
I finished adding the fog lights, grille, and cold air intake. I also relocated my head unit to the 96-98 location and put the stock one back up top.

9/1/08
Due to heavy rains, I decided to convert my cold air intake into a short ram intake. The filter was getting more than a little water against it. I also swapped out the cheap ebay air filter with a higher quality one.

10/7/08
Both sets of Alpine Type R speakers came in. They are SPR-17Cs and SPR-69Cs, installed today. Pics on the audio page.

11/5/08
A little old lady hit my car and wrecked the passenger side pretty good, but insurance covered the damage. Pics on the exterior page.

2/4/09
I installed a Type R front and rear lip kit. Pics on the exterior page. Rims are on the way, I promise. I have them sitting in my room RIGHT NOW and they just need paint.

3/15/09
I installed some Acura RSX washer nozzles on the hood. Much better. Update on rims: I have some hub centric rings and tuner lugs. The rims are painted and ready to go. I'm thinking about upgrading the rear drum brakes to disc brakes, and that thought has rims on hold for a little.

3/29/09
I updated the front end of the car. Pics on the exterior mod page.

3/31/09
RIMS! Pics on the exterior page.

5/20/09
I finished painting all of the trim: side skirts, door handles, front lip, rear lip. All of it is color matched to the rest of the body now. Looks a LOT cleaner. Pics on the exterior page.
