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. 😉

With winter on our doorsteps if not already shin deep in the powdery stuff, the parts are beginning to stack :D wheels will be ordered in the next couple weeks. Time for a new look 👀

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 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.
