from a type r to a civic means one thing...
whats hidden under that em1 bonnet mr?
Hi Guys, ok so i think its time to share my car progress and my cars i previously owned.
SO my first car was a Honda Civic with a VTI engine
I had it for a year and bought stock. Anywaiz moving on i bought a 02 INtegra typeR.
As seen below which was also bought stock with 18's on them which i ended up selling :
Alot done to this car was focused on engine and performance though
I kept this car for 13 months, then bought a Civic coupe EM1 as seen below :
At the moment the EM1 is still getting worked on! ill update this according to my progress from the first day i bought it. ALot if work has been done to the interior with an EK9 interior taken place..

Are those photos of the EM1 bad quality, or is that mattte paint. Or is it just prepped for a respray
EK9 cluster came :
I also have the EK9 steering wheel but no pics atm
I apologies for the quality, pics were mostly taken from an iphone. and yes car is prepped to be painted as of this current date, and the EM1 is stock engine wise besides some bolt ons for now
Some DIY on rims it came with :
Then DIY on head lights :
AND installed the HIDS same time!
