midlands civic

hey folks.

im on civiclife and keep hearing about TOA so i thought id give it a go!

my names Ed and im from Lichfield, Staffordshire.

I drive a Honda Civic EK4 VTi in matador red. Its pretty standard at the moment, but got a few things to fit on and i got a decent enough idea of what i want to do.

quite new to meets and stuff so hopefully i get a welcome reception and meet some new like-minded people on here to discuss ideas on how to better the B16!

thanks for reading, and looking forward to makin some new mates!

here are a couple of pics

Hi eca big warm welcome to TOA kid...

cheers fella. theres meets every sunday isnt there?

Hello and welcome!

there on a monday now, you'l find the sticky thread in the meets section.

EK looks clean

cheers dude. yeah its a tidy example. got it at a bargain price too! :-D

Nice, dont see many that color, I quite like it.

yeah to be honest, im not the keenest on it. but for how much of a decent deal it was i couldnt let it go to anyone else lol.

its quite hard to decide colour schemes for it though because of the burgandy!

I know what you mean, its funny how things come around, a year ago i would have said i didnt like the colour, but these days you will find people (especially in the states) having there cars sprayed a colour like this.

Theres no need to plan a scheme yet really, as long as its clean+simple it WILL look good

yeah man. gonna colour code the bump strips and skirts.

having a debate about the VTi wheels. what colour to spray them. i was thinking white... some people might not agree.

gunmetal grey maybe.

but itll only be till i get some Rota Slipstreams or summat similar.

Hmmm, personally i wouldnt spray them any colour other than silver, black ones are played out and white ones are. I think mint condition original ones will look better.

you reckon?

i think it looks a bit boring lol.

gettin some meisterR coilovers in the next couple weeks. got an "unbranded" exhaust to put on. eventually want a mugen twinloop though.

I think a bit boring looks better than overdone chavvy, lol.

But its up to you.

Nice, a drop always makes the biggest difference imo

lol hmmm...

yeah definately! and their pretty well rated coilies too. should be good to throw the ek round the track with :-D

So what you goin for with this EK then? looks, strip, track, street?

well i wanna keep it quite subtle.

the usual front and rear lips, lower, exhaust, and some nice rota slipstreams. the other little things like colour coding and jap plates too.

its my daily car so im not gonna go TOO much over the top. really. im not exactly very mechanically minded, so im not really sure about what to do when it comes to under-the-bonnet stuff...

aem v2, and lots of other bolt on breathing mods for now!

i guess just take it as it comes really.

Thats fair enough then, If your not sure of something dont hesitate to ask (in the correct forum of course, lol)

yeah cheers man! hopefully bump into you at some of the meets!
