    I'm sure for the amount of moeny your bro has it's a really nice car, sometimes ppl forget that not everyones mom and dad are rich.

    I bet it would be a cool car for taking on road trips?

      It has nothing to do if his parents are rich or not. Some people think spending large quanities of money to make a car LOOK fast is pretty lame.

        hes not doing it to make the car look fast. i think he wants to make a show car, and is doing pretty good in his first steps. some people assume way too much, not everyone is out to go 150mph+ and do quick 1/4 mile times.

        the bodykit looks pretty nice, but i would try to shave off the side door protectors. you may also want to go with a dual exhaust. it will do nothing for performance, but will look better and fill that gap in your rear bumper. i like the start on the interior. post progress pics of the interior install.

          Hey if your strapped for money on the seats always check out your local junk yard. A friend of mine pulled out a pair of very comfortable stock seats out of a rear hit Honda Del Sol for free!!!*Mostly because he knew the guys who ran the junkyard* But knowing some costs it would be cheaper. Just a tip....that or just get some seat covers thats even cheaper, but looks sorta ok.

          And I agree, dual exhaust to fill in the hole in the rear. And if you look where the beginning end of the bumper meets the body to get that fixed there is a little gap there.

          Yeah and keep us updated with the progress. Good luck.

              Yeah, hes planning on making it a show car.


              And hes doing it with all his own cash too, so the job isn't going as fast as you would think...lol

                yes, upon a second look, you may want to have a shop do some fiberglassing on the rear wheel wells to fill in the gap between the body and the rear bumper.

                  Get rid of the brown steering wheel and yellow floormats*I know you aren't completed*

                  Also get some larger sideskirts so it fits the lip and rear so it flows better.

                  Also good luck, it better be clean or you are gonna get the rice partol on your butt and your picture too could be on famous sites such as anti-rice.com.

                  bah, don't load the car down with excessive things. It looks fine as it is, i would keep cosmetic mods to a minimum and keep the car as light as possible. Civics aren't very fast stock even if they are DOHC VTEC and manuals. I would drop the money into engine mods, starting with either a swap or I/H/E.

                    rice.


                    b18 under there? h22? Turbo kit? Or just some [nitro]

                    :)

                    I don't like the rims - they are too big, and just don't look all that great.

                    Dual exaust holes? On a civic? Wtf?

                    However, congrats on doing what 100,000 other riceboys have done.

                    (not trying to directly target your brother, or put down his ride really. I am sure both of you worked really hard. I am just sick of seeing cars like this. It is very untasteful in my opinion.)

                    EDIT: Props for not putting on altezzas. Just for that I give it a :thumbup:
                    I agree with a lot of points, it just seems like a show car. I guess thats alright if thats what you're looking for, if you were in it for speed tuning a 4 banger probably wouldn't have been your first choice anyway

                        dual exhaust = nono on a 4 banger.

                        it hinders more than it helps.

                          Depends what model civic you have

                          You get a '94 HB w/ VTEC than stock it will run high 13's to low 14's.

                              his is a 92 si? That's mid 16s, then with the heavy rims, body kit, stero and other rice crap I am guessing 17's...

                                Agreeable

                                I was just saying the quarter mile times are very dependent on what year and what model car you have.

                                If I were going for speed I would get a h23 and turbo it, or a gsr + turbo and swap it into a '94 HB.
