Hey, I'm finally getting around to posting some real pictures of my car. Its a 1996 "Dark Green Deep Evergreen" (DP0) P10. No special mods in particular, the 17-inch Motegi MR7's wrapped in Yokohama H4s tires, advanced timing to 17* and an eBay intake / muffler. Also 35% tint all around, and painted the front grill black. Unfortunately, its an autotragedy.

I'm the second owner, bought it off of my dad's boss for $2000 about a year ago. Its been garage kept its entire life, and still is. A few weeks after I purchased it I got into an accident. I was rear ended by a Cadillac SRX at a stop sign. $5000 in damage and I thought insurance would total it, but they didn't and I got it fixed :thumbsup:.

Anyway, here are some pics. Arranged from oldest to newest.

Yeah I agree on the lowering. I might jump on that GB if I come across some money soonish. Otherwise I guess I'll have to wait until the spring.



Anyways my mod list so far isn't anything special but goes as follows:
-Ebay Warm Air Intake ( going to replace the junky filter soon )
-Random 'N1' (?) style muffler from local shop
-2.25 Mandrel bent catback fabricated by local muffler shop
-Advanced timing to 17 degrees (w/ 89 octane )
-17 inch Motegi MR7s wrapped in
-205/40R17 Yokohama H4s tires

Other less important mods :
-Replaced the stock headunit with a Sony CDX-GT400 unit
-35% tint all around
-Painted stock grill black
_____________________
I plan on doing the following .. eventually :
-Coilovers w/ other suspension goodies
-Header
-Black out sidemarkers
-Red out the taillights or purchase an EUDM set
-Mugen '99-'01 Civic lip
-Remove cheapo aftermarket fogs and replace them with OEM fogs w/ yellow bulbs.

And of course I would really love to get it swapped to a 5-speed, but with no room in the garage for me and my friends to do it I doubt it will happen. But for now I'll get by with an auto. :-\


seguroski, when I did my detail I did the following:

Thoroughly washed it, followed by Meguiars Claybar kit. Then I used Meguiars "Mirror Glaze" polish and buffed that in with a electric buffer & microfiber bonnet. Followed by Meguiars "Gold Class" liquid wax, and buffed that in with the same.

Thanks for the comments all, keep em coming! :)

The little red badge on the left of the trunk is a '2.0' badge from a VW painted red. Its on there temporarily until I can find a SRi badge to replace it with :naughty:.

Enjoy!
