well here you go just a little pic for you whores out there ...lol i did look up the vin and it said the car is an ex model so maybe that will help me find a motor ez'er as for the rest of the car it needs little things here and there, looks like the guy was in the middle of doing somethings and just give up so i get to put thing back on and get somethings but all in all its a nice car, the air ride is all rods 3" in the rear and 4"in the front and fast as hell, it will hop the rear about an inch( will have to slow that down a little), the paint is a little chipped here and there but driveable and it has 17's on it

Mini-me swap will give ya a few more hp's then the y8.
Looks pretty decent. Is it an civic EX? or was it swapped w/ the y8?
