How's it Going Guys ... well just to let you know .. my name is Alex for some of you that don't know me. I Drive a 1994 Honda Civic DX.I started this car in Feb. of 2005. I bought her with the idea of having a Daily driver that is good on gas milage. I was intending on getting out of cars for a while but i guess things didn't exactly go as planed. I picked her up for $500.00 off an old man. I named her Suki and this is her Build up. day #1 bought her for 500 bucks.. ran perfect and everything... I then proceeded to order springs and shocks for it .. little things .. so here is week #2 Proceeded to special order my wheels.. it was a hard choice due to that im picky with them and wanted to have something diffrent.. i got a roll bar and some other stuff and Si front lip too... so the shit was slow.. i decided to go with a B16 due to it was my 1st honda. I thought it would be fine got a type R header and a cold air and some minor things.. I moved on to getting some coilovers .. slam it down .. so i got some Tein Flex's .. rode nice too Got some little things for the interior too I ordered my Mirecle X bar.. :woot: My original spoon sports duckbill Finally came in 8 months later hahaha as well as i got the car repainted factory phantom mecca Grey with a slight maroon pearl as well as a custom Hood Vent...

ITR 98 spec sways.. beaks kit.. and Swift replacement springs... hahah i had the spoon fit next to my car ... at the shop i worked at GTP sports Hood... YES.. at this time i pulled out the B16 .. and ran a JDM GSR I decided that i was going to go ahead and try a new set of wheels... 15x7.5 fronts and 15x7 rear Work Equip 03's... in BP staggart wheels and offsets.

My previous cars: 1972 Datsun 240Z 1968 Ford Ranchero GT 1966 Ford Fairlane GT/A Convertable 1966 Ford Fairlane Hard top 1989 Volvo 740 (16 valve stick shift) 1984 Volvo 240 Turbo (2 door heavly boosted and sus. mods. stick shift) 1985 Volve 240 Turbo (4 door same as above) 1999 Ford F350 Diesel Dually 1998 Ford Ranger 2000 Ford Focus 2001 Ford Focus ZX3 1986 Toyota Corolla GT-S Coup 1994 Honda civic DX (present car) I don't have many pix of these car on comp. but some... she wasn't pretty but that was not the intent... Here is one of the focus's
awwww... Don't be Jealious... everyone is capable of building a nice car over time ... but thank you very much!!!
haaa... thanks man .. i've wanted to build a Del Sol myself. Your's looks nice as well. I sold the black recaro's. Ya i actually drove the Spoon fit a few times... its a pretty fun little car... hehehe we took it to a track as well...
Envy > Jealous Why Would You Be Jealous~ You can Have a Car Similar to This Also~ But it Takes Time~ Years... With Hard Work~ Long Hours Overtime EveryDay~ And Saving~ Not Getting what you Want But only Buying what you Need~ Im Sure Alex Sacrificed Alot Over Time and It Shows In this Car~ :rocks:
yup. .. i sacraficed food ... going out ... ALOT!! but .. if i had to do it all over again .. i would have just taken longer and scraficed less..
oops! oh, i fully understand about alex's buildup of his EG and all the sacrifice that comes with building up a car...i know it's gonna take a long time for my ferio to come around, but she will blossom eventually. what i was referring to in jealousy was the fact that he got to drive the Spoon Fit, lol. sorry, i should've elaborated a little more. the Spoon Fit looks like a blast to drive, especially out on the track. maybe it's not so much jealousy, but rather envy because i prolly won't ever get a chance to drive the Spoon Fit. sorry i confused you guys with what i was saying
And I too hear what you are saying Mark! Cars take a long time to build, unless you have money...which you know we don't...Mine will come around too. Our cars are like family, they are growing up together, right? lol!
