Exclamation Geo's rallye red FA5 build.......BEWARE: pics are different sizes!

Cool, so I thought I make a build thread. Why...cause I have nothing to do and I'm bored. Okay, enough about me, time to get to details about the car....
I bought the car on July 26 2008 with 3 miles on the clock!!!
Not 300 or 30 miles, but 3.
This is gonna be my daily driver since well, I'm a student and need it to drive to school and such. DUH!
I went with a new 8th civic because once I saw the Mugen Si....I fell in love with the lip kit, rims and I knew that thats what I wanted my car to look like....but in rallye red!
With that being said and working only 12-15 hours a week makingi min ($8.40) mods are hard to come by.

Here she is when I first got her....7-28-08



Jan/Feb 2009: Bought OEM all season matts and got 35% tint on the car.
*Matts not pictured*



March 2009: Bought OEM fog lights and also PIAA yellow bulbs along with Nokya for daytime running lights.





May 2009: Bought Mugen window visors from Kingmotor Sports.



July 2009: Bought Mugen quick shifter and knob from Bill T. Finally, Mugen goodies!



And finally, how the car sits as of this moment with 8,070 miles....





UPDATE
Bought a Fujistubo RM-01 exhaust from Evassive in August 09, good place to buy parts.





Bought Mugen GP's from College Hills Honda, they rock! Got them in November 2009



Got H.I.D kit from DDMtuning in December 2009



How my car sits meow....





Overall I am very happy and blessed that I have this car, it hasn't given me any problems what so ever. I hardly ever hit VTEC or such. Only time I do it, is when I go to meets with the Oregon crew! Whoot whoot!
As the year is going, my plan is still the same....build my FA5 into a Mugen Si replica. I know most people are for power and going fast, but for me....meh....once I get the Mugen kit and wheels, I'll be done.

Well ya, there it is, hope ya'll enjoyed it. All comments are welcomed. Thanks for looking.

Sounds really good.
Deeper than stock and no droning while on the highway
I often hear my intake (stock) than my exhaust
