Thats definitely not all you need.. I'm tellin ya boost is a lot of fun. But I call that no rice. Maybe its just me but your car is pretty clean looking, I like it. Everyone hates on the 7th gen. You can make it look nice and"classy" without it being ricey. You just have to have some taste. Stick to simple lines, stuff that flows with factory styling,keep it clean.

ya neither do i im thinking about smoking my oem ones but idk if i should and i dont know how.

 

classy and fast. K series hiding in there

 

oh my goodness that is beast.

 

^^ Wow.. Sexy.

I wanna tint my stock tails too.. It would be nice, I dunno if i'm enjoying my Altezzas, though it doesn't look TOO bad.

Also, whoever said 7th gens suck. Not really, you can mod the d and have some pretty nice results. Everyone just hates on the D17 and jumps onto the k20a2 bandwagon. Sure, if you want SERIOUS power and can afford, by all means.. Go for the k20 swap. But honestly, with that 8k just in swap, I could do SO much to my car, and get better hp results. Lets see, shall we?

Safe setup of Nitrous ~ $1,000 running on 55~75 shots (55 - 75 hp)
I/H/E ~ $800 (10ish hp)
Crower stage 2 cam(/w retainers and springs) ~ $700 (20~25 hp with a good tune)
Turbo(Depending on type) ~ 2-3k(if you peice it yourself) Running on 7 psi(for starters) can easily put down 50 hp

Thats just some examples.. You can definately get power with the D17, but people just bash it so much and don't bother to try. I'd honetly rather spend $8k on internals, turbo, ect. then $8k on a swap that would only yield me 200hp (though it would be a great base to turbo, but you'd have to run race gas with that compression)

And come on, if you killed a stang, and they are like "What you running?" and pop the hood and show them that little D17 SOHC engine, i'm sure they would feel pretty damn pathetic by getting beat by such a small engine. I'm sure people have mixed feelings about modding the D17, but.. To each his own.

 

thanks for the comments

- the smoked tail lights are just tints I bought off of ebay for around 25 bucks.
Painting them was an option, but if the cops hate on me then i'll just rip the tints off in front of their faces.

 

Daaammnnn.. The tinted tails look sexy as hell. Think you can direct me to the tint you bought? I'm interested in doing my stock tails.

I don't know if i'm feeling my altezzas anymore [:'(].

 

^+1 on link for tint

 

sorry to burst your bubble, but there isn't as much aftermarket support as the 5th/6th generations, therefore, that means it isn't a good base to start with. as far as performance, you're not going very far either. compared to other generations, the d17 is a bad platform unless you're stuborn and have a lot of cash to beef up the motor. the 7th generation is a BIG econobox compared to other civics.

 

Yes, I agree by comparason there isnt much support, although I do believe that there is sufficient support. I looks like there is enough support to make respectable numbers.
