SPLITSECOND's "not so splitsecond" (slow) fb6 build.
Sup everyone, I'm new to this forum, but not new to the scene. A little bit about myself, my name is Ryan and I'm from California. I have had my fair share of cars (civics): 93 si, 96 hatch, 89 sedan, 95 hatch (previous build), and my current car, which is a 2015 Civic SI sedan in MSM. I was going to use this care as a daily, while I built my 95 hatch project, but personal issues kept me from doing so. I ended up selling my hatch to a good friend who I know will take very good care of it. I'm still in the process of selling parts for it if any of you are looking for eg parts. Just ask and I'll let you know if I have it or not. This is great news for you guys cause that means I get to mess around with this car. Ok, now on to the fb6... I really wanted a red or white one, but mostly red. I couldn't find any in the area without having to order and wait for it. This one was the 2nd one I saw during my search and for some reason instantly fell in love with the color. I think it's because I bought it on Valentine's day of this year. A few hours later, I ended up driving it out of the lot with only 4 miles. And all I can say is that I couldn't be happier with my decision.
PS: Please don't mind the crappy pics. Most if not all of these pics will be taken with my Galaxy S5.
Probably doesn't matter, but a few pics of my 95 hatch before being painted red and the tear down began. Good ol' times.
Now onto the SI. I don't have many pics of it after being bought cause it was meant to be a daily, but then again we already know how these cars look like since we all have 9th gens. I do have this booty shot though.
Got my plates in the mail a little later and I hated the dealer frames, so I found some from a dude off of HT. I love how the red compliments the red SI emblem.
One night during work, I was bored and decided to make some purchases. Picked up some OEM Honda door visors from Handa (yes it's Handa for those of you that don't know that site) and a rear window wing from spoiler king.
Got the door visors in a few days later.
And a few days after that, I got my rear window wing. I love the look of it. I'm not a fan of the big rear window visor. I went with the little flush flare look.
I have not put the rear window wing on yet cause I plan to paint match it, but I'm waiting on a part that should be coming in this Friday. I plan to paint that as well and decided to do it all at once, instead of going 2 separate times.
But, just to get an idea... this is how it should look. (The pic may be small, but you get the idea. lol)
I also picked up some Nokya Hyper Yellow DRL bulbs. I just have this pic of them installed, but not turned on. I do have to say that I really love these bulbs. (Don't mind the dirty hood)
And how the car sits now next to my weekend warrior. It still looks stock lol. But then again this is a slow build.
Hopefully, I'll have an update by this weekend. Until next time. :icon_wave:
