Cars History
After i sold my eg6, i bought the car in December of 2011, off a relative who owns a shop. He replaced the motor, tranny, axles, lower control arms, a/c unit, clutch, rims, tires, rotors and pads. The cars motor currently has 15k miles on it, while the rest of the car has just a tad over 100k.

After owning the car for a month, i bought new headlights and kept it pretty stock until i was able to recently purchase my coilovers and rear camber kit. Im going for a "Stanced" look with this built, since my eg6 was more of a purpose built car. I love the look of properly fitted cars, but i need to be able to keep it street worthy as it is my daily driver. I have to commute to school and work 6 days a week, so it needs to be reliable also.

Oh and btw, im only 18 yrs old. I like reliability of this car, and the comforts of the leather, heated seats and navigation. After purchasing my eg6, i realized i wasnt hugely into the cars other typical teenagers are driving around my area. I like to be comfortable, and not bouncing off the ground in my civic anymore lol.

Excuse me for not having any real pics. I have a dslr, but my lens in broke so Im just going with cell pics now. Hopefully il have some new pics soon.

[HEcreated487]

Welcome James.  Your future plans look good

[B.R.03EX]

Welcome James. Honestly, I don't mind the American Racing Wheels. They kind of remind me of TL A-Spec wheels, just smaller.

Your car looks clean though, keep it up!

[James_P]

I agree, there not terrible. I just want something more aggressive, and 18's. Thanks for the compliments!

I wanna know more about the EG6.  What did you have done to it?

[James_P]

Well, i bought it bone stock with 200k on it. Only bought it because it was unmolested and had no rust whatso ever. The guy i bought it from owned a body shop and had the whole exterier done. 2 days after I bought it, it had a new set of rims, coils, duckbill, mirrors, lip, camber kit, exhaust, intake. Pretty much anything you can think of, was done to the car. Driving the car become tough. Right when i sold the car it was sitting an inch off the ground, and wasnt even able to turn around in my street anymore. I had origionally sourced a k24, from a totally accord actually to swap into the car. I had the mounts, ecu, wiring harness and block ready, all i needed was the head, and i was golden. Then i saw this car(My accord) that my uncle had at his shop. Fresh motor swap with all new parts. He was going to sell it for 9 g's, I told him i would give him 5,500 and he said yea, so i instantly sold the civic to some guy in Virginia. Im so happy i sold the EG, it was like playing with a matchbox car. These are some of the last pics before i sold it. At this point i raised the car because the guy wanted me to for his ride back to VA. These pics are from the day before it was sold

Looked clean.

[James_P]

That's cool man. It suck when you mod your car so much it's not street able any more. I think that's why I don't see the point of cars that are super dumped or "stanced" so aggressively that you have to drive 20 mph everywhere. In the same right, a 600 whp civic is also equally as pointless if it's a street car.

Nice looking EG6. That woulda been a fun track car.
