*Put on some Function and Form Type 1's. Rides much better now and all of the old suspension noises are gone.

*Have also since replaced the Muffler with an Apexi N1. Honestly its a bit loud for my taste.

Going to trim the Orignal Post.

I don't have anything exciting planned. I'm not looking to make power as i want something reliable but i might pick up some coil overs and a nice set of wheels and maybe some other small cosmetic mods. I might try to find a trim with nicer bumpers and swap them out or look for a lip kit.

Re: Lucius' 99 Coupe

the car doesnt miss at all when you start it up, the mounts are just bad so it shakes and then when the engine warms up it doesnt shake anymore so the car is quiet and you dont feel any vibration. If your motor was missing it would stay missing throughout the whole time the engine is on.

Re: Lucius' 99 Coupe

If you keep your current front bumper you could throw the OEM lip kit on, if you switch to mine you'll have a harder time finding good looking lips. Intake, better exhaust (magnaflow, apexi WSII, greddy), coilovers, and a Nice set of wheels sounds like good plans. Also Maybe black house your headlight housings.

Welcome to the family. Love the white

Re: Lucius' 99 Coupe

Thanks for all the comments guys.
I'm in Wilkes-Barre about 30 mins south of Scranton.

I'll probably look in to the OEM lip as i do prefer and OEM look. I do like the look of the bumper on your car though AllGo. Also love the purple Valve Covers
And the F2 Coils were what I was considering. I wasn't sure if I wanted to get the type 1's or the Type 2. I have adjustable dampening on my civic though and honestly never use it so I might be better off saving a couple hundred bucks and just getting the Type 1's.

As for exhaust I'm not totally sure yet but I actually have an Apexi N1 Muffler thats been sitting around in my house for a while now. It's a little smaller than the one that's currently on the car so I might see if my mechanic can make it fit and look good. Not sure if I really want to go with a can style muffler but I already have it and it's currently going to waste so might as well give it a try before dropping half a grand on a whole new exhaust. I've seen youtube vids of the world sport and greddy exhausts and didn't really like them all that much so if the N1 sounds like garbage I might end up having something made custom.

@Gil'sCG6. I'm not sure if it's a miss but it definitely doesn't sound like just a rattle. It only happens once in a while though So i'm not sure whats up with it. I am curious if the lift throttle rattle I have is exhaust related or possibly Engine Mount related though.

Thanks for all the positive comments. So far I'm enjoying it much more than the civic. Now I just have to decide if I want to sell the civic or keep it and fix it for a track car.
