How a Civic SHOULD Look Like
This is the kind of build I’m going for, clean and simple. If only Honda would cut the US a break and give us a another Type R, this time a Civic. Spoon rims are always sick, but I think I would have preferred 15s instead of 16s. I’m all about function over form and I bet those 16s rub on hard turns. Other than that, I want that car haha.

Installed My Radiator
Was actually pretty easy, took me about an hour and a half total and if it wasn’t for the ice/cold it would’ve definitely been done in under an hour I think.
New Wiz Khalifa
New single off his upcoming album “Rolling Papers.” Chill, have all his stuff, so will definitely be getting this album too.
I’m in the news!
For whatever it’s worth 🙂

Bought New Radiator
Picked up the new mishimoto radiator today with some silicone hoses, we’ll see how far I get with trying to install it on my own lol. I also ordered the mishimoto fan shroud to match, just have to go pick it up at some point this week. I’m gonna give it a go this Friday and I’ll report back on my success…or my failure lol.
Comes with a lifetime warranty, no questions asked, which is pretty good.
Radiator’s Cracked
I got a newer engine swapped in (JDM B18C from an Integra SiR) but the older stuff keeps breaking :(. Should have replaced the radiator when I got the motor swapped in but I didn’t and now I’m stuck trying to fix it on my own. I do plan on trying to do it myself, we’ll see how that goes. I patched the radiator with some epoxy stuff until I get the new radiator put in.
Although frustrating, I can’t give up! Would be convenient if I was rich enough to have two cars so I could work on this one without worry, but I’m not *sigh*.
Me and my GFs Cute Kitties
Their always together! Their about four months old and came from the same litter, we had to adopt them together, didn’t want to split them up.
Just snapped these pics while they were sleeping on the couch.
Stalley
First heard him on Curren$y’s song “Address” and decided to take a closer look.
Super chill, just what I’m all about.
Some Vietnamese Food
Hadn’t eaten all day, but it all ended well lol. Was supposed to go to a car show with my friend Jonathan but ended up just piggin out.
VTEC in a DX Yo!
Getting the car tuned after a bunch of new parts, which I’ll get into when I get around to taking pictures of it lol.
Tampopo
This restaurant got me addicted to sushi, hadn’t been there in a while until today.
Also took a pic of my car, this is how it looks after throwing on some skunk2 shocks and skunk2 springs with skunk2 control arms.
When I Got My Wheels
First thing I got for my car were the rims :).
It took me forever to decide, initially wanted Volks but decided they were way to expensive for a car thats going to be driven on a regular basis.
I always loved Spoon rims, but will probably never own them so I got the next best thing. They’re Rota Slipstreams in Full Royal Sports Bronze, size is 15×6.5 with toyo 205/50 tires, offset is +40. Didn’t want to go aggressive and then have to deal with rolling/pulling fenders. The way it sits now, I can barely fit two fingers between the fender and tires. I’ll get to the suspension later, here are a few pics of the wheels when I first put them on.
My Car As I Got It
Here’s how I got the car last summer.
I’ll be taking some new pics of how the car looks now :), nothing too crazy as you can see from my previous post, but I like it none the less.
This is my little project, got her about half a year ago and have done a few things so far. I’ll get into more detail in my next post! Haven’t gotten sleep in a while, 12 hour shifts plus class are killer.
