eccramer's 2003 NHBP Civic Si, King County, WA

[eccramer]

Even though I've had the car for more than a year, I've just decided to finally post a Member Ride thread. My car is a bit boring and close to stock, but I love it and it's a great DD.

Modlist:

Exterior
•JDM Red H Badges front and rear.
•No name Advan RG-II replicas that came with the car. Painted with Duplicolor wheel Bronze (matte finish).
•Home Depot knockout plug centercaps, also painted matte bronze.

Engine
•K&N Short Ram intake (came with the car).

Suspension
•HFP Sport Suspension.
•Goodyear Eagle GT 195/60R15

Interior
•Ebay EK9 CTR Replica shift knob, and home depot rubber grommet shift boot retainer.
•Kenwood KDC MP-142 Headunit

Removed Mods:
•HIDToday 6000K HID Kit (Installed by previous owner. I got tired of blinding oncoming drivers.)
•Skunk2 drop springs on stock shocks (Also installed by previous owner. Jesus they were bad. They scraped, bounced and generally blew. Anyone that says dumped is better than reasonable ride height makes no sense to me.)

Shout out to my friend Sense. All pictures were taken by my good friend Evan Sensenbrenner, for which I thank him greatly. He made my boring stock car look pretty cool.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Your car is really clean, I kinda wish I'd gotten a lighter color like SSM. I'm actually seriously surprised that anyone is posting in my thread at all considering how close to stock it is.

hey nice looking ep..i have the euro yellow and i wish mine was black..of to a good start..one word.. kpro!

I guess I should put a disclaimer up there that says that it's just my opinion. When it really comes down to it, I don't actually dislike people that dump their cars, I just don't understand why anyone would want to make their car uncomfortable, scrape and bottom out, understeer, and generally make their car worse than stock in the handling and ride department just for looks. Maybe this just stems from my anger at the previous owner of my car for leaving me with all the hidden problems. (Just so you know, he also left a subwoofer power cable connected to the battery and all he did was cut it off in the trunk, so I had an cut wire that could have shorted on the metal in the trunk area. Basically, a real classy job removing the sub.) Dumping a car doesn't appeal to me, but that doesn't really give me the right to call those people retards, so I think I'm gonna change the wording on that section. Consider this an apology for putting my foot in my mouth and insulting a group of people that I have no right to insult.

Thanks man, yeah euro yellow is an interesting color, but I think you can pull it off if you do it right and keep your mods clean. As for KPro, it's definitely in my future, but I think what I'm going to do first is get the RSX-S rear swaybar, and then all the bracing bits from the RSX-S and ITR like fender gussets and the aluminum floor bar. After that I'll worry about power mods maybe, but I'd like to get the handling comparable to my old ZZW30 MR2 before I worry about power. Really all I care about at the moment is handling.
