#175365 Was just going to see my woman-friend on valentines day. Coming down a road at 60, Deer walks out infront of me and I clipped the back end of it with the front left of my car [this is England remember]

Now I need a bloody new bumper, indicators and front wing. *VERY unhappy face*

Also my Exhaust's began rattling and I curbed my front right alloy.

Damnit.

Looks like I'll be fitting the bumper, indicators and wing myself. There is DIY threads on them, but can anyone offer any tips?

Will post pictures tomorrow morning when it's light again. There's still deer hair wedged into the bumper :cry:

That's what's left of the indicator. At least now I have an excuse to actually fit some ambers (Y)

Some deer hair wedged in my wheel arch. Yum.

#185154 Hey guys, small update.

Went over a speed bump with a fat mate in the back and now I've cracked my exhaust off, so I've got to replace that. Also I'm finally getting some matching wheels for £120 which is pretty cheap really.
Fixed up my bumper with some selotape, but i'm getting a new one soon and going to put it on :)
God running a civic is expensive...

#185732 hay matt im joe i got my self a lsi coupe for my first car to. im 19 so im in the same process as you with it all but it seems like your haveing alot more problems with yours than i have but mines a slow process on mine as for not haveing as much money for big things... what are your plans for it ?

#185739 Hey joe,

Yeah, my coupe's being a nightmare recently. which is a shame because I love her to bits. Seems that's now become too literal! Ha.

currently I'm in a bit of a dilema. I was planning on doing a B18 swap from a 1.8 VTI 4door over the summer, but due to the "Availability" of an RX-7 I'm slightly leaning towards that instead.

My first plan was to rice it out a treat, but I've come to my senses. My priorities at the moment are to sort out the problems, then drop it, get a CF hood + CF lip and give it a respray.

Your coupe Auto or manual? and where abouts in the UK you from?

Also - Pics of my self-repair ^ :)

ImageImageImageImageImage

Guess I got lucky having a black car & Black duct tape! People thought I had a new bumper haha. Also getting some new wheels soon, At least I've got my priorities right haha! but my wheels're worth a lot more and i got these cheap so i can flog my old ones to maybe fund my CF bonnet!

Image

I want to make them a vibrant colour. Was thinking a bright yellow, or a nice bright pink. Anyone got any suggestions?

#187479 STORYTIME for the day:
Yesterday, I went to the tip to get a few things and found a mint hatch, stole loads of stuff off of it to fix+ put on mine :) then, I came downstairs, to see this.
Image

Piled them into my car and decided to take them up to my grans to work on them :) Unloaded everything.

Image

My wheels, a new replacement bumper, mint lights, new headrests, floor mats, a new air filter & some sun visors that were off an imported Prelude [Have japanese writing on, thought "that'd make me think I'm JDM"]



Image The Old headrests. Image And the new ones :)
Image Bumper
ImageImage The totally JDM Sun visors
ImageImage The lovely Floor mats [Currently soaking to get some of the crap off them :)]
ImageImageAnd my wheels + Lights :)

First things first, replacaed the wheels. surprise to see them looking so shiny! :3
Image
Almost look out of place on my car!
Then did the bumper, The screws that bolt onto the wings were stuck on and we had no way of breaking them off, so i had to cut the wing to get them off with the old bumper, bit depressing...
Image
Then on goes the new one!
Image

Before
Image
After
Image

Just needs a good wash, spray, touch up, dropping, new bonnet & maybe new seats!
Oh, my "totally JDM" sun visor

#187760 Last night some worthless shits decided to steal my H off the front of my car and dent my bonnet. :x:x:x

Decided to take this as a sign I need a CF one, but for now I've put some filler in the holes where the H was, and made my own custom honda badge...
Image
Image

And my custom Honda badge.... It's only tempory to cover up the sanding of the filler, getting touch up paint tomorrow :)

Image
Image

Image
Image

Then finally needed to do the bumper :) think it came out alright :)

#191851 dang man i think you did a good job fixing the accident. also lovin the lugs :thumb: i got some purple extended blacxkworks racing ones :D
By Boods
#191853 Ahah thanks, It's taken me long enough!

I would get new lugs myself, mine're all mis-matched, but being a student means funds're stupidly low and they do the job. So I thought I'd spend my money more wisely, bought my 3rd set of wheels, Mugen lip & a new front left wing [mine's damaged, although It's been hammered out by me with a crowbar, still looks crap]

Next thing is coilovers, getting my exhaust fixed & then it's time to get a B18 or boost my D15b7. Not sure what to do next - I'll find out nearer the time I think... :)

#191889 Your car has come along ways since you got it. Sounds like your plans are going to make it an even better car. :thumb:
By Boods
#192151 Mugen lip in the post - taking exhaust to get fixed tomorrow, CF bonnet at the weekend! Then I'm not sure what to spend my money on!

upgrades:
Suspension [Coilovers, Strut bars, rear control arms, maybe camber kit?]
then:

Either - Turbo my D15b7 - t3t4 ebay special turbo kit, and a full cat back s/s system
OR
Swap a B18 into it.

Not sure yet. - any advice/other ideas/suggestions/comments?
