amen man, always gotta keep my head up :cool: my business is good but it IS a bummer not being able to get handed all these jobs that everyone else complains "don't exist". cause the economy is just "in shambles"... right? lol anyways, yeah, you're right, we all make mistakes. we all have a...

Well, things didn't work as far as the job swap. My girlfriends mother may be in charge of the hiring at the semi-conductor cleaning facility and may have offered me 60+ hours starting at $12.50/hr, but company policy wouldn't allow me to work there with my recent felony convictions... So, I'll...

Excellent. Then that motor shall be the one in my crosshairs over the next couple months. I might not be installing it myself as this car is also my DD (for now) but my neighbor across the street is friends with our other neighbor who has a shop on the other end of the street. so, discounted...

Looking at purchasing this baby here in about a month or so. starting a new job with as much overtime as i want starting at $12.50/hr but still got full time college rolling while finishing my degree shortly. bleh. http://www.hmotorsonline.com/shop/sc2000search.cgi?what=page&item=30033 note...

Yo Child, was gonna ask you what tires those are on your EK? I think that might be the next thang for me. Nice black rims and nice low profile tires. Maybe 16's but no bigger.

Agreed. My suggestion would be really check the bottom of your oil pan and insure there isnt a hole punctured anywhere that might "spray" the oil when there's pressure. Might not even notice any spray pattern underneath if the hole is in the right spot.

Exactly what I was thinking. Exactly. Glad I'm on the same page as you :D

glad to have some input from you man, you're actually a big chunk of my inspiration on here. love your EK btw.

See, and that's what I started thinking myself. Going to stick now with a D16Y5 motor is almost... Pointless. As it stands now, I'm getting 41-46 mpg HWY (a smidge more with the new exhaust, header, and intake). I think maybe I should hold off on the 5speed until I do the K-swap. Until then...

debating though between 5-speed conversion first or rims/tires/suspension. leaning more towards the rims/tires but i'll throw a few numbers around and see what i decide on. should be a fun few months.

I was wanting something with LED's so I had the longer bulb life and overall brightness. If I had found some OEM looking ones that were LED, I would have jumped on them. These are my temps until I find such >.<

Sure, one sec...

5 Speed swap is in the works, yes.

Dude, that car is looking good! Love the new hardware and can't wait for pics of the new motor man!

EJ7 : PANDORA [56k-Yes] 1997 Honda Civic HX Build Thread Interior: - NRG Aluminum Flat Style E-Brake + Grip - NRG Hub - NRG Neo Chrome Quick Release - NRG ST-001BK Steering Wheel - Reverse Glow Gauge Display - Valentine One Radar Detector - Custom 4-Switch Wire Harness - Center Console...

These two items are the exact same thing. All that the shop will do is possibly unbolt your existing muffler (the larger and rusted one) and bolt on the new aftermarket muffler. If you welded on the bottom image to the end of the first image, you are going to have a really weird looking setup...

By the way, "No", it wasn't some "cheap" setup. It also wasn't some over-priced setup either. It's an Option-R Header, Option-R Exhaust System, and Magnaflow Cat.

So I just swapped out my 97 Civic's stock exhaust (header and all) for the EX conversion. Brand new exhaust piping and header etc. I purchased the secondary 02 sensor extender and while I was hooking it up, I noticed that it sticks out of my new cat pointing more downward towards the road. Not...

To add to it, note that your header wrap will give off smoke when you start driving. This will continue for a few full cycles (warm up/cool down) or up to about a weeks time. It is completely normal and will eventually stop. It's part of the curing process so don't go thinking your wrap is gonna...
