BE SURE TO SCROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM TO SEE THE TRANSFORMATION........
Come check out my ride at turboaddict.com.To see my ride and other great turbo'd rides click the link below http://turboaddict.com/tims-1997-turbo-civic-ek/
I just wanted to say thanks for checking out my ride.I've got quite a few more plans including stock si bumpers and lips more boost and a few more things.This car was in really bad shape when I first got it and I've dedicated alot time and money into it.I sold my 2000 si and got this hatch,and since have decided to make this like a 2000 civic si hatch.Inculding power windows,locks,mirrors,Rear disk brakes,si gauges and so forth.Well injoy the transformation...........
---Please vote 5 stars.Thanks---
The day I bought this riced out pos.It wouldnt even start if it was cold.haha.This thing was in bad shape.Nothing worked but heat and one headlight.Had to replace almost every fuse and light bulb,No speedo,no window roller handles,no cd player,no blinkers,no reverse lights,no horn,no sunvisors.It was missing half the panels...You get the ideal.REALLY BAD SHAPE........
Big ricer wing had to go.Nice taillights tho.No big fan of the rims either......
This has to be one of the worst bumpers ever made,I loved the hatch but couldnt bare the bodykit any longer.
I did change the front bumper to the bw 2 front before I decided to just redo the whole damn car.I thought it looked just as bad the blitz so..Look at the full blown race motor it used to have in there:)

Wasn't going to go with a body kit this time around,but I just like the way a civic looks with a clean kit.Plus I thought I might piss some haters off,So I decided to go with a r34 front buddy club side and back.Shaved off the antanna and body moldings put the stock mirrors back on.Removed all dents blocked the whole car and its getting painted Plymouth prowler flame orange...
We reworked the whole side skirts...
Had to rework the whole front bumper too.
