Hi there and welcome to my little cardomain page about my Civic.
Im from germany and the proud owner of a Civic EX - or here called a Civic Coupe ESI. Well unlike in US the Coupes are really rare here. Its a 98 non facelift Civic, bought in august 2003.
I started to work on it - first the interieur, then the exterieur, then engine...soon I decided to change the body style cause the fiberglass bodykit was really worse. I decided to make it more individuell, which means neither rice style nor jdm style. And now its nearly complete ;) I choosed to call it Masamune cause I wanted to make a real nice and inividuell car just like this blacksmith forged his legendary swords ;)

Now here some Pics

As you can see the ideal sideskirts are not installed. Well, Im currently looking for some side skirts and found the probably very bests at the Wings West page...but they are damn expensive.

Then there are a pair of yellow fog lights on the way to me, so they will be installed soon. Oh and dont wonder,t eh hood isnt painted, yet. I had a carbon fiber hood but the quality was really worse, so Ive decided to take the orginal one again.


Here are some pix of the engine parts

And here some old pics, when the old kit was still installed. It was a Blitz Front Bumper, Extreme Side Skirts, Selfmade Rear Bumper "Phalanx", Altezza Tail Lights, Tsudo Muffler, EVO 6 Wing, Hood with a EVO Intake scoop, a blue and green Undercarlight, some stickers and a large self made decal - drawn and printed by myself...still miss it :(
