Starting from Stock!
I have a 1998 Civic Hatch
everything factory standard Do any of you have any sugestions about what to modify, and where i should start, Wheels, Engine, Interior, or Exterior? If you were to modify, what would modify, and where would you begin. |

i have a 97 hatch
 it depends what you want from the car do0d, are you more for performance or for looks? the only things i can really suggest are some springs/shocks to lower the car right now and perhaps some 16" or 17" wheels. what color is the car? |

6 spokes right out to the rim.
Don't know which brand, but the change will cost $1600 Australian, or US$900 |

have you checked out rota wheels? they are light weight and the price is pretty reasonable... i got mine for $100 u.s. a piece. (15's) and 16's are like $150 a piece.. they are strong wheels too. good wheels for people on a budget like me.,

Sounds pretty cool!
What are struts, and how did you rig up the gauges? What are you planning to do next? What's with the back seats? |

i have kyb struts... the guages are aftermarket.. it's really easy to install. the back seats, i had to remove them to reduce some weight and customized the back w/ wood and carpet. i'm not sure what my next plan is, maybe build up the engine so i can run 12's..
so you have an EK? pretty cool car! if you care so much about accelaration, i wouldnt get heavy wheels...spend your money wisely...goodluck |
