Just picked up my '02 Taffeta White Civic SiR two weeks ago after some time searching. These things are hard as hell to find in good condition but I liked what I saw with this guy and decided to go for it.


Starting this build thread just to keep track of what I do to the car and share with EPHatch community.


Mods when I purchased it:


Greddy Evo Catback
Eibach lowering springs
DC Ceramic Headers
AEM Cold air intake
Painted CF Hood
17" MSR Rims
HIDs

The rear looked a bit boring without a rear lip so I decided to plastidip the lower portion. Think it turned out really well.

Within a week I found a Mugen rep spoiler locally and got it for a bangin' price.

Noticed a water leak in the passenger side, likely coming from up front as the trail of water started there. Stripped out the carpet and passenger seat so I can figure out what it is. How it looks currently:

Looks good! Are you sure that the leak is water and not coolant?

Thanks dude. Yep, not coolant as I spent quite some time vacuuming it out and drying out the carpet. Fresh water.

Huh...interesting...check your door gaskets. Maybe they're not sealing?
