Tell us the story of your vehicle build:
1991 Honda Civic. I've been building it for about 4+ years. Full converted to JDM Spec siR Civic. RHD conversion, JDM EF9 front-end, JDM doors, JDN rear bumper with OEM lip, filler, trunk and siR wing. All parts took about a year to piece together before I was able to paint it. Recently, I painted the EF Tahitian Green Pearl with House of Kolor Ice Gold Pearl. Motor is a B20B with USDM GSR cable transmission. Wheels are a set of rare SSR EX-C mesh, in original finish. After blowing about 6 engines, I decided to go a different route and build a car I can drive daily and enjoy, and also for others to enjoy at shows.

What is your favorite modification on your vehicle?
Favorite modification would be my RHD conversion; not many people have a RHD EF9. It's unique and different.
