⚙️ What This Group Is

A space to document your build journey from rust to reveal, from your first wrench turn to your first fire-up.

A place for motivation, progress, and problem-solving. We’re here to build each other up, not tear each other down.

A community garage share advice, tips, and feedback that help others level up their craft.

A zone for transparency and learning. Show the messy middle, not just the highlight reel.

A way to track your evolution post your updates, reflect on your work, and keep your passion alive.

The ages long argument/debate. Does it truly matter if you buy a pre-built car? Are you a firm believer on building your own car? Does it not matter, and all that matters is that you enjoy it? What are your opinions, and why do you think that it is such a controversial topic?

Going a different route for my badges again lol but doing the old school Hondas ‘H’ and then just on the back will be the ‘Honda’ name. 💙🤙🏼

Mostly stock as it is aside from the cosmetic Mods. Currently have a Cobb redline carbon fiber cold air intake, Cobb cast turbo inlet, grimmspeed v2 bpv, Tomei expreme ti test pipe, and HKS Legamax premium catback exhaust. Tuned on Cobb AP by Dmann Tuning. I have a collection of parts on stash ready to be installed aiming to get to the next phase of this car in spring. Parts list and progress pics soon to come.

I've been working for 16 days straight at my job... We putting in that overtime to get the build ready for the summer! 🗿🗿🗿

Anyways... CHECK OUT MY BABY'S NEW FACE❗❗❗

The options for the wheels lol, but the very first one is from Alibaba, the others are from XXR, these types of wheels just give me great vibes about being a clean jdm look for the car and would for sure make my car stand out. I still wanting to get them ether dark bronze/silver/machine finish. Just would see yalls opinion on these.

I’m trying to go with 18x8.5/9 with a 0 to +25 offset. As wel. To give it a flush look. I am running drop springs, so could possibly work better for now and then later get coils to make it a better fitment for the wheels.

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.
