Hey everyone my name is David,

I have currently bought my first car and its a 2000 Honda Civic SE.

everything is stock and i have plans to start building it in two years.

why two years you ask?, because my dads mechanic i bought it off of promised two years from this car, if it makes it, then a new motor will be put in, probably a b20 v-tec, and the turbo, etc, etc.

for now im going very light modifications like painting interior in about 2 months, might get new rims and have to fix some interor problems like visor clip broken

Thanks for reading and any comments are welcome!

Cheers!

 

Welcome to the forum David, excellent choice of first car. I advise CAA if you're worried about the car not making it lol.

 

hahaha, yea CAA is a good idea thats for sure, should I upload some pictures so some of you guys can take a look and let me know if any work need to be done?

I am very new to the car world and im getting help from my friend a lot

Where would i start a new thread for postin pictures and getting feedback etc? as i dont think it should be in the new member introduction section, LOL

 

welcome david! you could start threads to post pictures and get feedback in the media section. what are you painting on the interior?

 

welcome to tcc !! I have the same car , 2000 se .. Very good choice !

b20 v tec is the best way to go !!

 

If you'd like to start a thread about your car to show pictures and get feedback, post up in the Media section http://www.torontocivics.com/f19/.

Welcome to TCC
wow..if my dad was a mechanic..i woudlnt wait 2 yrs..i wouldnt wait 2 secs...i would start now.
in my opinion b20 is a waste..b18c is the bomb.
interior fix ups are easy, just look around for civic part outs and u can get dirt cheap parts.
good luck

 

im thinking of painting it like a dark metalic blueish colour, but i am still not 100% decided. If you have any links to some photos for some ideas i would love to look at a few examples

lol my dads not the mechanic, i bought the car 'from' my dads mechanic... i wish he was a mechanic so i could start builing it right away with free labor, LOL.

i will start a picture thread of my car and some pics of it. will post the link up here once i have up on the site. Also, anyone know how to fix a broken visor clip?(im such a noob )

 

from personal experience i'd just go with black, check out my build thread

 

just read through your build thread, very nice job! lots of effort put into it.

The colour i had in mind would have been a little darker colour blue, plus in the summer the black would get really hot does it not?

How about a White interior with black trim parts?

so the mats would be black to hide the dirt of course! lol, and then the doors would be white. However, the speaker cover, shift box, and all the little trim deatails that you had painted blue in white? and im also thinking of getting white rims so it would go nicely.

let me know what you think and my thread with car pics are coming soon...hopefully

a pure white dash, wonder how that would look....

 

Welcome David!
