    Mga Sir, Im a newbie here at tsikot. I just wanna have some of your opinions mga Tsikot Masters on how to setup my car, all stock lang po kasi siya, at gusto ko naman magkadating kahit konti, I dont know where should I start. Honda Civic 1996 Model, and I just want to make sure na sigurado yung pagkakagastusan, sayang kasi ang pera, mahal din naman kasi ang magagastos lalo na kung stock ang car. hehe...

    Tnx in advance po...

    To set-up a car, I have my own steps that you could consider ....

    First, before you set off in dressing up your car make sure that it's running fine/properly. Should be in the state wherein you can bring your car wherever without stalling.

    Second, choose your preferences. Aesthetics or engine or even equal.

    Third, set your fixed budget. Don't give in with the temptations that might itch you to get this or to get that [SIZE=1]( although I myself gave in with it ... )[/SIZE]

    Fourth, enjoy dressing up your car. It`ll be surely a worthwhile experience !

    -

    BTW, you could start off by changing the bumpers, headlights, trunk, tail lights and fenders ( ithink? ) to the SiR counterparts of your 96 VTi ( hood can be CF, your choice. )

    Next would be a nice set of rims. After which, drop your car.

    Then the remaining would be up to you like, changing your side mirrors to ganadors or upgrading your sound set-up or rather placing foglights with yellow bulbs in it. Your choice.

    After all of that, if you still have the budget. Why not consider swapping a monster engine under the hood ? A B16A perhaps ? Hehehe. Or even repainting your car to a color that you like the most ... ?

    Goodluck. :thumbup:

    ^^ IMO wag na shave bumper. euro mo na lang para bagay yung black trim. mas type ko itsura ng civic na stock bumper. hindi feeling SiR body.

    euro naman, stock bumper lang then lagay ka fake headlight washer. parang labas niyan euro version. euro plate holder, euro plates (baka marami magreact)oks na. para sakin simpleng setup mas gwapo tignan oto.

    yung shave bumper, pwede sa mga body shop. kaya mo din DIY yan basta maganda prep work. dami shop na kaya yan, depende na lang kung saan area mo.

    bro go ako sa recommendation ni renzo , make sure na maayos ang makina mo at pangilalim, at kung meron pang budget sama muna rin ang pintura, yung para bang bago na ulit ito, then saka ka na magisip ng set up , baka doon pa lang sa magandang stock look solved ka na, ganda yata noon.
