Question What To Do First?

Ok, so I found out today that I can take delivery of my Civic on Monday, April 22nd. It will be the first Veloz model here in Newfoundland (pretty exciting stuff). But, I don't know what I should do first. I mean, rims, wheels, springs, exhaust, intake, etc, etc, etc. What should be my first mod? and what should follow? Depending on how well my commission salary will be at my new job will result in how much I can do... but, nevertheless, I'd like to start making a list to "look forward to." (Oh, and tinting... well, I have the appointment made for Day #1).

I like new car smell, and don't do anything to void your warranty.

Ok, so far, the consensus is to "slam it down". So, which springs should I get? Eibach? I haven't done a whole of reading about springs, so I need your help. What kind? and where is the best place to order (cause I know I won't find them around here.)

Well I'm just starting out with mods on my car for the summer and suspension is the way to go (so I've been told). As far as which springs to use Eibach has the most comfortable ride but only drops the car about 1.6-1.8" (if you use sportlines). I had H & R springs on my old car for a couple of days and the ride was alright. Pretty much the same as stock springs. If you have the dough I suggest that you get shocks at the same time. Don't rush yourself though. Get the best out there so that you don't regret it. Remember two things:
1. You pay for what you get
2. Ask for and keep your receipts for a rainy day

1st Mod bro, put the car on its belly, put on the exhaust, save up for nice rims, and go from there.

I tend to agree...

First priority: Christen that sucker.. Look around for a girl named Rebecca Murdoch in St. Johns and she could prolly hook you up She always used to talk about "Girls out around the bay" or some such nonesense.

Next priority: lower your car.

Regards,
OK

Yeah she was from Newfoundland.. She had the whole "Lord jesus buy, what are ya at" accent when she wanted and everything. Was most amusing.

We met and dated yeaaaaaars ago.. Gotta be going on like 6 years now I think..

She was in Ontario working for a summer at Canada's Wonderland (now known as Paramounts Wonderland) and then was in St.Catharines visiting her cousin for a little while before going back to NFLD...

We met, hung out.. things happened and it kinda rolled from there.

Regards,
OK
