iM Feature: Ryan’s 2004 Honda Civic SIR

Was nice to get the entire iM crew out this past weekend, shot the shit and snapped a bunch of pics. Anyways on to my car which has emerged from the garage slightly different then previous incarnations.

The first order of business was getting the whole stance/wheel setup figured out. I had purchased a near perfect sized set of discontinued Volk SE-37k’s almost a year ago. They weren’t in the greatest of shape so refinishing was a must. And as everyone knows the wheels will make or break any great build so the color was a tough decision, however at the end of the day it’s just paint so I went for it….. as seen below. Love it or hate it, OJ orange.

After rolling for 5+ years on extremely lowered set of Tein coilovers it was definitely time for an upgrade. I wanted to go slightly lower so after loads of research and harassment of my fellow EP3 owners I settled on some Buddy Club race spec dampers paired with custom length and spring rate Swift springs.

Last order of business was cleaning up the interior. Was rocking the red Recaro seats for quite some time and the red was obviously going to clash with the OJ wheels so they were sold off in short order. Replaced them with a pair of kevlar backed Status Ring GT’s and Buddy Club super low down rails.

Couple other minor tweaks and the car is officially done for at least another year, possibly longer this time! Ha. Wish it were that easy.
