Thread for my '80 Civic. I'm 17, Based in the UK and this is my first car. 39,000 miles, had the car for about two and a half months. Heres some first pictures as it was when I first got it.

Tell me what you think, Thanks

I love this gen of civics. Use to have one and hope to own another one day.

Looks good. Whats your plans?

Well, the cars already been lowered 3 inches and i've purchased some Oscam Trax 13"x5.5J mesh wheels, and apart from that i want to keep it as genuine as i can.

i'll put some pictures up of how it looks now

Lowered 3 inches all round.


Rear with Oscam wheel to show stance difference -

Oscams all round -

Looks good lowered. Is the front sitting a little higher?

It surprises me how this gen of civic seems the most overlooked. The one I use to have was a champ. Wish I would have kept it.

Looks fantastic. New wheels suit it very well.

Thanks, i tried to get period 80's looking wheels to suit. The suspension is all new with new springs, the front is an inch higher to prevent it bottoming out - we used VW Mk1 bump stops to stop this bottoming out and just cut them down. as of yet with the new wheels i havent drove it so it'll still need to settle yet

just another photo of how the wheels sit.

that interior is so damn awesome.
