Project Civic- Plain to Insane
 

I was looking at my Civic one day and I thought to myself that this thing's too plain. I felt unsatisfied with it for some reason. Here's where it started. I shaved the door handles and filled in the seams on the door trim and liscence plate area.

I painted it gloss red, stuck the six cell mod on, lowered it and still managed to have the C-logic work.

Here it is, all done. I went out and bought sponsor decals and the body kit. I made my own custom alteza tail lights, painted the headlight housings black, put a black trim around the lenses, made dual exhaust, and painted the rims bronze.

here's the rear view.

awesome

Hey that looks really nice, by the way, did you make it so that whenever you disconnect the extra 2 cells, you can stil run it with the stock 4?, if so...how did you do it?...cause I'm thinking of doing something like that myself, only that I might just put a switch somewhere in the car to activate them, well..besides that...that's a nniiccee ride:D

Ditto. ;)
Great job. Excellent color choice too.

BTW, how'd you lower it?

How I lowered it/ Battery mod.
 

I had to trim the back mount about 3- 4mm or so. As for the front i used the stock mount but i dremeled the mount on top so it would be a thinner. It took about 2mm's off. then I put tape on the hole on the mount so it would fit the thinner mount better and push it up at the same time.

as for the batteries. I made a plug for it so i can just use 4 cell too. its just basically a plug that has a wire looped in between connecting pos and neg making it basically one wire . The car's fast with 6 cell but it cant handle for crap so i take it off every now and then.

Angelo.

BEST X MOD EVA!!!!!!!!!!! great job looks awsome

i hate civics im mean really hate them but this one ...



one word sweet



p.s. think my avatar is to much?i dont think the people on here are that young,and it dont show anything

That would be awesome to have a switch for the 2 extra cells on your controller and them act kinda like NOS just push the button and more power added to make it faster.

I'm working on a button on the controller but i duno if i'm goin through with it. risky to me.

Ay cyrc? where'd you get your icon.. hahah

i really don't like civcs because almost every one of them is riced out:rolleyes:
but yours...........damn man..........don't know what to say!!!
:eek: :eek: :eek: wow!!!:D
looks 10x better then it did before.
i really like the rims!
keep up the good work!!!:p

i took it from a motorcycle forum i hang out in cant tell you where

That is the coolest icon i have evr seen :eek:

I haev a question for the avatar


GOT MILK?

OWN3D:D :D :D
i wonder how much psi that thing has:D
lol we should move on...........
(don't wanna any trouble)

Okay, first off. I liked your car before the "upgrade", now that you did it. It made me say "whoa", seriously! Secondly, i SWEAR TO GOD cyrc, when i saw ur avatar, i couldn't stop staring for @ least a min. NO LIE!!! lol, they're grrrrreat!

Great civic man. That is one of the best civics on this forum.

Great job on the Civic!

cyrc....As much as I DO like your avatar, it might be a little innapropriate for the forum.

slap a wing on that puppy and itll be complete ( i like those wheel nuts)

thats the best civic i have seen anywhere.... hands down
props man that thing is sweet

Now that's custom... http://www.tinyrc.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

that is the nicest civic ive seen on the boards.

as for the whole being able to disconnect the 2 batteries, theres an item RS has crimp on snap connectors http://www.radioshack.com/category.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=C TLG%5F011%5F003%5F004%5F000&Page=3 I imagine you could put a female on the one car wire, and a male on the other, then vice versa on batt pack, so once you unsnap the connection to the battery, you can resnap the connection to the car. i think it will work, ill try it out next time im at rs.

When i first saw the civics i thought "omg do we really need any more civics in this world?"
But yours is a whole nother story.
If i can ever figure out how to insert a pic i'll post my black supra.

i love the color and the car!!!

how come the link doesnt work?

LUG NUUTS
 

WOAH,
Civic... nice...

Im sure you already heard all the "AWSOME" so im goin to skip that.

What kind of Lug Nuts did you use? did you paint or new kinds?

I bought some micro rs4 ones.. theyre pretty cheap.

lol, i love ur new and old icon... and i love ur car.. looks JDM.. keep up the good work.. i especially like the yokohama advan decal, whered u get it? what size is it?

Hey I just noticed that you have AWD installed. Sorry for going off topic, but are you supposed to have a huge turning radius with the AWD?

so do the RS4 ones fit? or did you have to mod those?

How much are they?

Where did you get them? website? store?

I didnt have to modify them at all. The thread fit perfect. I'm not sure how much they were anymore but theyre under $5 for sure. I bought them at this hobby shop by my house..

what hobby store?

or what is the name of the lug nuts? I was planning to buy some but couldnt find any. i appreciate the help.
