    Thanks CHILD, always good with the info. Any pointers for hooking off the line? Does it just come down to better tires, and learning how to ease out on the clutch and doing it at the right rpms? I'll try talking to some seasoned vets at the track next time. Thanks for the info. I hate...

    TIME SLIP TIME! Well I went to the track for the first time ever a couple of days ago, and of course being my first time I did HORRIBLE! Here's the slip for the fastest time of the night. #22 on the left. As you can tell I did pretty horrible in pretty much everything. Remember I had...

    A few updates of where the Civic stands now. A somewhat pretty picture of the Civic all cleaned up Finally got ahold of what I've been wanting for oh so long, picked up a set of F&F Type 1 coilovers from a buddy of mine, and of course did what anybody would do when they get a set of...

Just got on OEM bumper to replace the aftermarket bumper, ordered the valve cover bolts to replace the broken bolts, powdercoated the VC teal, bought a VIS Carbon Fiber hood, plasti dipped my wheels white, and finally bought some...

    So I had a little surprise waiting for me outside today... I walked out of my house today getting ready to wash my car after a rainy week and just a whole bunch of crap was on my car. Well as I walked out I noticed these 2 big-ass boxes outside of my door, it was odd because I didn't order...

    Thanks man! And we have emissions testing in Texas? Did not know that ha, but down here I've never had them do more than just see if I have insurance... Then again, I don't exactly go to reputable shops for inspection ha. But besides that I went with a test pipe because it was cheaper than a...

    Welp, this came in the mail today... my PLM Test pipe so I can finally bolt up my catback! ...Yeah, that didn't happen today, jack stands are too high and couldn't get them under no matter what I did. So needless to say, I blew my top and got pissed haha. So looks like I got to take it to a...

    Thanks, slowly but surely making progress! Sorry man, but I just decided to give them to my brother for his EJ8. On another note, the next thing on my list is going to be to get the valve cover and intake arm powder coated Tiffany's Teal. Any thoughts on the color scheme? And of course...

    Was bored this past weekend and decided to clean up the Apex'i N1 catback that I picked up. Started off with a quick wash with some water and dish soap, then started sanding with 800 grit and moving up until 2500, and then finally polishing it up with some Mother's Mag Polish. Not the greatest...

    It's been awhile since I've updated, or let alone done anything to the Civic. But here's what I've gotten done so far. First thing I did was going out and buy the replacement headlight plugs because the PO chopped them off b/c he had no clue what he was doing. But here's what I bought...

    Without a doubt, my all time favorite Civic right here! The Sunkist Civic, he's part of a group called LowBallers from Las Vegas, you should check them out all their cars are BEAST! But anyways, these tinted tail lights would look good on any Civic
