decided to keep my car (non bmw warrning)

I was parting out my car.... i sold my wheels, seat, cluster, cams, and ecu.... i regret it deeply haha.

I bought my ecu back and i ordered some more agressive cams. Also picked up some more aggressively sized wheels (15x8+25), the old wheels were 15x7.5+35 wheels Im going to pick up a bride zeta 3 seat and i gotta source another civic si cluster....


heres how she looked before i sold everything... i hope to post pics soon of my new wheel setup. chicago is all fubar right now with snow lol












I can only fit a dime in the space between my fender and my falken








Shes on tein monoflex's, with OEM EX 22mm sway up front, OEM 22mm CTR sway in the rear, function 7 control arm, some new bushings here and there. Thats about it.

Then how come you didn't buy a used Civic and modify it? Surely it will cost a lot less than a 335i.

I loved Hondas when I was in high school, but it's too much of a hassle driving a moderately-highly modified one around here. Parts are so swappable and there's always a high volume for the parts....your car getting stolen FTL.

totally agree. i miss my 97 GSR everytime I see a clean one driving down the street (not often around here) but what i dont miss is having to worry if my car is still going to be there in the morning when i wake up...or when i come out of a movie...etc

nice ride though, I'll hopefully have a swapped EK as a project car at some point, but its definitely going to be a hatch!
