After a long weekend of thrashing, I stand back and other than the bulldog stance and the trunk spoiler, it doesn’t look like I accomplished much. But then i remember the complete redesign of the exhaust(header back), new o2 sensor location and install, installing new front suspension and control arms, height adjustments, clearancing, the heat shielding, the harness bar, the seat modifications, the 5point harnesses and mounts, the trunk spoiler, tucking and rerouting wires as I went along. All of that doesn’t look like much.. BUT. Progress is progress. And I have to remind myself that.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. 🤙🏻

Welp, i did a gnarly pull in thr fc and blew a rotor...and not in the fun way. She didn't go lean, not at all. Too rich, actually.

I was able to limp her home on 1 rotor and made it safely. Now, i am tasked the horrible job of ordering parts to rebuild. I guess blessing in disguise, cause now, i can half bridge port 😈😈

Currently the '16 STi is stock af, but a whole laundry list of upgrades is in the works!

Here’s my build so far.. — 05 Civic EX

Nothing extravagant, just a budget setup since she’s my daily.

As of recently the Spec-D cat-back just came in. Heard mixed reviews, so we’ll see how she sounds once it’s on.

Picked up some wheels off FB Marketplace too—steelies officially retired to the garage for the next 10 years.

So far I’ve added:

• MaxpeedingRods coilovers

So my build is nothing extravagant, I’m doing budget friendly simply because she’s my daily BUT my goal is to make her look good. So this just came in heard some good reviews about it so we’ll see what’s up! Also I purchased some rims for her of fb marketplace that way the steelies can go in my garage for the next 10 years

Whats next? Wheels, kit, and LOW in march. 😉

Finally got them mounted. Honestly I think I it looks better in person. CE28N wheels wrapped in Continental Extream Contact Sport 02. 275/35R18

I did lower the car, 1 inch drop with Spoon Springs.

Hey everyone, this is my bone stock 2005 civic ex I've recently purchased a couple months ago. I installed some coilovers and dropped it a few inches, thats as much as I got done at the moment.

As of right now the plans for this car I will be focusing on cosmetics such as the hood, wheels and paint job and other little things around the car. I plan on getting a body kit for it but haven't decided on it.

As far as performance right now, I plan on getting a cold air intake for it. Once I work out the cosmetic issues I will start performance upgrades.

Hey y'all! Here's my 2021 Corolla Hatchback and a brief (ish) summary of what's been done and where it's headed. I bought the car a year and a half ago roughly and I've been slowly and steadily building it to my liking.

The exterior looks fairly OEM+ right now with tint, a mild drop on RS-R coils and Tein struts, a Blitz (rep) wing, Kill All Wipers rear wiper delete, and custom cut rear plastics for my exhaust. Recently my son and I applied sticker bomb vinyl to one front fender and of course it's wearing a club banner.

Interior is stock save for a Delta X throttle pedal spacer and some work on the shifter including a Grimmspeed stubby weighted shift knob and shifter bushings from Monkeywrench Racing. I have plans for the interior

but it's going to come last on my list most likely.

Just left my baby at the shop (I work there) so I can start pulling motor for upgrades, reseal and maintenance like timing, rings, gaskets, etc.

friend of mine is gonna tow the body to his house so we can wrap it and install all the new exterior too while motor is out. Then gut the inside and upgrade interior too.

Hate seeing him not in his spot at home. But can’t wait for spring when I start him up again and get a new tune. 🖤 I’ll make sure to post progress photos. But I may be a ghost for a bit with late night build sessions lol.

The day I got it, vs. about 2 months ago. 1.5 years of time and dedication has made the car virtually unrecognizable from where it was when I got it 👍 need updated pictures cuz even more has been done since this photo, but thats a surprise for later
