Still lookin good :) The more I see the red taillight tint, the more I like it.
I think once I'm back in the country, it'll be time to finish putting the car back together and get it back on the road!

hey bro, you need to get a red JDM emblem or overlay on the trunk, IMO!
i kinda like them, it's not something that i just have to have and when it's that case i usually end up regretting it. i want to find something a little more different and unique. but it's definitely on the possible list. i just don't like the chrome h, hate chrome and it's too big imo

just order these today

i've been wanting them for awhile and the local dealer can order them but they can't get a price until they order them and if they order them i had to take them so i didn't feel like being told they'd cost me $200 for emblems. anyways not too sure how legit they are but they have 100% feedback and was really quick to respond so we'll see i guess. heres a link if anyones interested. says there 4 more and shipping was still $3 to canada. eBay Motors: GENUINE HONDA HFP HONDA FACTORY PERFORMANCE EMBLEM SET (item 330315448390 end time Mar-25-09 08:31:10 PDT)

well i REALLY want to do the comptech s/c, and i just recently got a promotion in my job so i'm thinking hard about it. this year i've just been focusing on handling next year i'm debating on braking or i/h/e and i think the s/c might be the year after. i wish i could get my parts as cheap as you cause the CAN $ is killing me.

I was reading about superchargers vs. turbos for the Civic. And one school of thought is that turbos are the way to go, because superchargers work better on torquier, large-displacement motors. If you're imposing a load on the little 2.0L engine--one which doesn't really start making power until it gets way up in the rev range--it's kind of like an unnecessarily taxing & inefficient way to make power. In theory, a turbo--which works best with a high-spooling, rev-happy motor--should be the better way to go. In some peoples' opinions anyway... *shrugs*

Doors look great, btw!
so which one is more reliable turbo or s/c cause I'm not looking for the most power just don't want to have to buy a new motor or something in a few years.

Dammit man, we need to stop doing the same stuff. This is getting rediculous :)
we'll i don't think i'll have the balls to do the seats. i'm not very good at sewing and if i'm going to pay someone i'd rather it in leather. and i hope this doesn't affect you possibly *crossing fingers* doing some projector headlights for me some day :wigglesmiley:

I'll upload a few pics I took yesterday... I still don't have everything back in, even though I'm working on the car pretty much every day... it's seriously starting to concern me :(
I'm realizing now that I definitely bit off more than I could chew this winter!
haha but when it's all done you'll be happy you did it.

Dude your car is looking hella sweet, great choices on all your mods - very tasteful and clean looking.

I can't wait to get my car out of storage :( It's looking like it won't be until the last week of April. Money was pretty tight this year, but I still have a few small mods to do before it comes out :)
better show up to some meets this year. did you ever get a hold of the aero kit?
