I miss my Civic, well the way it was(as in this photo).

The wheels are very nice! What is their make?....you sold a 99 Protege and got a 96 Civic?

Yea....B18 with boost!

 

[II-Savy]

It needs a turbo or something.

I never cared much for that body style, but very tastefully done so far.. looks good man!

 

[bigj884]

u say its changed alot...only thing i see thats changed...is rims....which i see plenty of civic with same rim type.....and the headlights....which i never liked those type of headlights.....to goddy looking

That car is way older than 1. Or are you saying you have had it for one year? It looks like about a 96.

don't expect good comments from a mazda forum vs a civic..
but, for me, I've only drove one a coupe times, it was my friend's car... something like 99 SI, and let me tell you,
im glad I dont own this car because i would be with so many speeding tickets...
I like my car but the civic SI , FOR ME, is far more fun to drive. there;s something about the clutch.. lol..
I feel bad sayiing this...shoot me :/

wtf is with all the hate. this is his car, he has done what he likes to it and he is proud of it. he has owned it for a year, and it looks 100% better than when it started imo, and he hasnt riced it out. its HIS car and he is modding it for himself, and just wanted to share. give him props or constructive criticism, such as needing a drop. dont just be a dick. and learn to spell gaudy

 

[genericuser]

well said rob, well said

Nice choice on the wheels, the car looks pretty good to me.

 

[MaDz]

I second that.. I like it anyway..
I wish I had the money/time/space to start a build like this..my first build would most likely be a 90's civic.
I like it, looks nice and clean, and keep up the good work.

Looks nice! Come back to Mazda though you know you miss your protege!!

 

[MaDz]

some opinions..
I dont want to start a civic vs protege war but:
When i was looking at trading in my truck for a 4 doors car(I GOT twins 8 months ago)
I was looking @ 2 cars..
protege and civic..
I wanted at least 2003 so It would feel like it would last at least a couple years untill my next one.
Sorry but my first choice was civic 4 dr all the way, but it was really more expensive than prot. 03.
thats why I went for protege..good quality, good price..
I had a 99 z24 before "supposed to be 150hp"
I drove a regular 99 civic dx and that thing seemed faster than my z24..!!
all stock.. wtf...
to me, honda are really good engines and we shouldnt be bashing on them...
even if every kids in town has one, they ARE good cars!
;P
just my 2 cents

Looks nice! Come back to Mazda though you know you miss your protege!!

 

[msp2fast]

yeah they have nice engines BUT this is MAZDAS247 buddy that means nothing but mazda lovers so you can expect a jab or two,ok sometimes we throw a hook!

Thanks everyone for the comments

Actually the '99 Protege was my mom's and she sold it as it started to have tranny problems (Overdrive light flashing) and it had a rebuilt tittle, then she got the Tribute she currently owns.... Yeah actually the car is ten years old but i have owned it for a year.... and it has a manual transmisson... i would love to do a B18C1 swap and build that engine with forged internals and turbo it, but that is a lot of money... i would rather to use that money in something more useful like college, or a down payment for a house or whatever..

I'm only 17 years old, and this is my very first car and i worked hard and saved to get the car, and to make it what it is now. I originally wanted to get a MX-6 LS-V6 but the ones that were in good condition were too expensive, i only make $6.95/hr at mcdonald's.

Again thanks everyone for your time and comments

i dont know, i dont think they even have a make or something... i got them from a friend for $150, yeah they are scratched and stuff but they are in pretty good condition for $150, but the tires were messed up so i got Fuzion ZRis... pretty nice tire for the price.

Nice, it needs a drop though.

Yeah that is my next "mod" to the car, I'm saving for a set of tein s.techs... as i have no money because i had to replace both rear struts, and one is making a clunking noise which drives me crazy, i dont know what might be causing this.
