Project Civic
Status: Ended on December 5th, 1999
This was my first car, it's a 1993 Civic EX coupe.
I bought it myself when I was 20 years old in 1998. I had a lot of
plans for this little car but those plans were stopped by a car accident
on the night of December 4th when a lady ran a red light and hit me.
This was a very slow build up, I didn't know much about cars when I first
bought this car and didn't do that much to my car even in an almost 2 year
span.
Engine: Injen intake
Suspension: Eibach Sportlines and Tokico 5 way adjustable Illuminas
Wheels: 16x7 Racing Hart Tuners w/ Toyo FZ4 tires
Lighting: Denji projector headlights w/ super white bulbs
Stereo: Kenwood deck, Infinity speakers and Rockford Fosgate

Project Jixxer
Status: Ended Jan 28th 2001
This is my Integra, I bought it used on April, 2000. I've had it
for about six months now, and if you've seen the car before me, you wouldn't
even recognize it. When I bought the car it had the stock GSR rims
which looked okay, but they were really torned up. The rims were
scratched and scraped and the finish was pealing off. There were
a bunch of big dents on the passenger side quarter panel and driver side
fender. The antenna was stuck in the up position. The paint
was also neglected and was starting to turn a little bit yellowish.
I had all the dents removed, a stock spoiler put on, and so far have repainted
75% of the car. It's been a hard journey for this little Jixxer,
but it's turning out pretty nice if you ask me.

UPDATE: Feb. 14th, 2001 As you can see above, as
of the night of the 27th, Project Jixxer has ended due to a major car accident
which was partly my fault. The sad part about it is, that just less
then a week or so before the accident, I finally got all the components
of my stereo installed and I just received a bunch of new parts that I
didn't even get to test out on my car. I just received, 98+ Integra
rear bumper, 98+ Wings West RS lip, AEM Cold Air Intake, AEM Tru-Time Cam
Gears, and AEM Tru-Power Pulley Kit. And after my car was in the
accident, when I was in the hospital and the Jixxer was in the impound,
the guys at the impound stripped the stereo system from Jixxer. From
the looks of Jixxer, it's surprising the small amount of damage done to
myself, I've been left with a 2-3 inch cut on the back of my head, a good
amount of bruises and small cuts on my entire body and a shatter heart
and soul. As of now, Project Jixxer is over and as for future projects,
it's not likely I will start another project car.
As you can see, the bumper was torn off and so was the side skirts.
|
Both airbags deployed.
|
Dents all the way down the driver side of the car.
|
The hood is bent and dented.
|
This gives a better view of the damage, note how the rim is slanted,
it is bent.
|
Notice the roof of the car, how it's uneven.
|
The driver side door is gone as well.
|
The windshield is completely shattered.

The Great Jixxer as it will be remembered.
