[Liljohn03]

[SIZE=3]Hi There Tsikot Masters...[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]I have my newly acquired Honda Civic 1996 model. stock na stock siya. from the body, to engine bay, as in! stock na stock. . I know medyo tumatanda na ang model na ito but I want to maintained it, though it is not that fresh enough, and I know, it will cost me a lot, but because this is my first car ever, and it is my Dad's gift to me, gusto kung mabuhay ulit, I mean yon bang babangis bangis naman siya. gagastusan lang din naman, edi yong worth it na. hehe... any suggestions mga Sir? I want to have some mods, interior, exterior, especially sa makina... hindi lang kami makapag start kung ano first gagawin because sayang ang pera. kaya dapat tamang tama ang pag kakagastusan. hirap pa naman ng buhay ngayon. blessed na blessed na rin ako dahil may 1996 model ako. thanks to my Dad.

Pwede na siguro yung Detail lang, tapos kung may kailangan na palitan na mga accessories or etc. go lang ng go!
basta i-maintain mo nalang yung pagiging stock para clean look.

tapos. yung maintenance siguro like change oil. para mamaintain yung ayos ng makina,

pede rin yung Sir look kaso 96 model yung sayo eh. ikaw na bahala chief

+1 ako dito,interior and exterior detail muna,well maintained engine,suspension,aircon,battery muna priority mo.tsaka mo na muna ispin ang ibang mods

[voltscastillo]

make it run reliable first. palit fluids, timing belt, waterpump, thermostat sa engine, radiator thermoswitch, brake pads, ayusin ang kalampag, etc... dito pa lang gagastos ka na ng 50K.

next pa exterior/interior detail mo. tapos bili ka bagong goma.

use for a year or so habang nag oobserba ka ng mga modified civics. choose a mod you like: soundz, paint, engine/turbo/all motor, magz lang, etc... ipon ka cash (you'll need it) prepare maybe 100K or so.

opinyon ko kasi, kahit gaano kabangis ang itsura ng isang civic, kung pirme naman nag-tititirik sa daan eh wala din, medyo eng-eng din an may ari. kaya i suggest you make the car run perfectly muna. mahirap ang buhay ngayon at mahal ang gasolina.

we have the same car sir, so far ginawa ko mga advise nang mga katsikot naten,, palit nang mga seals sa engine and tranny, Power steering hoses, newly changed timing belt, repainted the tranny and valve cover, replaced rear bushings, ok naman suspension, so far wala kalampag, napa service kona mga power windows, new tint... sa Labas naman, nagpa flat black ako sa hood, trunk, and yung lalagyan nang plate # sa trunk. .The reason for the flat black sa hood trunk and bubong, is may mga bulutong na,, lapa budget for repainting kaya flat black muna ehe,, I plan to change my car's color into red or white..

Tapos naglagay nang type r chin and ducktail, then we DIY yung grill, to make it look like a SiR grill ehe,, buffed the rims, new tires.. customized lower tie bar..

Next project ko is a cone filter,Mags and HU ehe.. we will also removed the rubber moldings on the front and rear bumper tapos i-body color..

Sana di siya magmukhang ricer ehe, do masyado maganda resolution nang pictures, those were taken from a mobile phone..

* Sirs Micomak,john5, voltscastillo... yes sirs, tama. engine bay talaga mas mahalaga sa ngayon especially used car na nga eto... yon matitira, sa accessories ko nagagamit, at kung may pera ako na hindi naman kailangan gumastos ng malakihan, bumibili ako ng fit sa budget like alarm, grill. thanks po sa tulong. ano ano pa kaya pwede? hehehe.

* Sir Silverwokx, nice car sir. ok na sa ngayon ang mods mo. halos ganan na ganan din ang sa akin. yon nga lang, wala pa ako nasisimulan. hehe. i'm also planning to remove the black side moldings of my car. kasi bukod na namumutok, e gusto ko plain lang color. red ang kulay ng car ko, but mejo faded na. i'm planning to repaint it, mejo kulang pa lang sa budget. any suggested color? and magkano nagastos mo sa hood mo? thanks...

+1 ako dito... sa engine bay ka muna, ung kagat ng clutch, tranny... then ilalim naman: ung suspension, brake pads, etc..

as for looks DIY ka muna bro... vacuum mo ung interior mo.. kaw na magbaklas ng mga upuan.. dali lang naman un... makikita mo pa kung ok ung sahig mo...

tapos kaw na rin mag exterior detail... punta ka sa detailing thread.. kuha ka ng tips pano "buhayin" uli ung paint mo... kung sakali nga baka may detailing EB na naka sked next month (katatapos lang kasi last sunday)... sama ka... libreng detailing ka na rin dun bro...

ung external aesthetics (skirts, etc) secondary na lang muna.. kung nakaluwagluwag ka na...

Kung gusto moi mabuhay ung civic mo..una Palitan mo ung rims...marami naman dyan maganda rims...especially ROTAs marami maganda designs nasa sayo na un kung ano swak sa taste mo...and then kung sa performance naman i would suggest unahin mo intake and exhaust...install aftermarket air filter and headers, exhaust muffler..kahit sa ganyan lang malaki na magiging difference ng kotse mo in terms of looks and performance...Kapag hindi kpa satisfied you can explore to more extreme modifocations...I hope nabigyan kita ng idea on how to set your car up...Goodluck!

* sir r1chmond, yup yup. hows your esi sir? musta na sound system mo?

* sir renzo_d10 Sounds good sir. magkano kaya magagastos jan?

* sir Liljohn, thanks for he advice, may nakuha ako. anyways, magkano ba ang lowering springs? ayaw ko kasi magpa puol, baka magami ko rin to ulit e.

[r1chm0nd]

* Bro TS - So far sir the performance is great, though my sound system is still not working due to budget constraints.. hehe..!! I want to focus more on the things under the hood to improve performance and fuel consumption. Mahal nanaman kasi ng gasolina..!!

[Liljohn03]

Tama Sir, hahaha. ang mahal naman talaga ay, sa halip na naiipon mo pang set up, napupunta sa gas, haha, e lagi ko rin naman kasing gamit. balak ko rin talaga muna is under the hood at lowering spring, kahit after market, ayoko magputol e, for future use. hehe.

gastos may oto no TS?ehe, siguro before sleep iniisip mo lagi yung mods
anyways nagpalit kana nang brake clutch PS fluid? tranny oil and engine oil? timing belt? air filter?

maganda ang naka lowered tapos naka aftermarket wheels ka na. kaso ang problema yung kalsada sa atin. kung lagi mong dinadaanan malubak at puro humps i wont recommend it, tapos daily driven car mo pa yan.

new paint job tapos no tint (kaso mainit) maganda ng tignan yan parang bago ulit siya. yung windshield pati mga mirrors nya pa glass detail mo siya. palinis mo na din yung headlight or better yet replace it kahit depo brand lang. fresh looking ulit yan car na yan.
