Man, your car looks sooooooo mmmmmm. I still don't get how those tires don't rub on the fenders when hitting bumps. I am in for a set of 9 inch rpf1's shortly but keep wondering maybe the 8's are a better choice. I want my car to be totally functional DD. I have a deep unseated fear that 9 inch wheels will most certainly hit on fenders and quarters when going over bumps.
Your car is badass.
Wait...that Supra was your last ride?! In the name of all that is sex on the beach! PM me about paint and what a good paintjob goes for cause I need to repaint my car and I don't want any hacks touching it and I don't want to be driving a car that looks less than spectacular when I have dropped a considerable amount of money on it.
Thanks man, I appreciate the kindness! I rub over bad bumps but I'm rolled on all 4 corners so its only slight. It all depends on how low you plan to be.Quote:

And it's even worse when theyre voicemail is full. But I finally got a call back.
In other news, I wake up to find this by my front door:

And today's my birthday. So, this is a great thing to wake up to! Huge thank you to [MENTION=28]Spaz[/MENTION] for all the hard work and dedication. The positive side to busting your ass in a cold garage for weeks is the amazing end result.
Happy birthday mane. And nice mani. She looks good. I hate it too when my parts are gone out for a while and haven't been touched.
Thanks man, getting old! Lol. Trying to get all this stuff ready for Honda Day, such a PITA. Gonna be a last minute deadline thing - literally.Quote:

Also saw [MENTION=98]stage2auto[/MENTION], [MENTION=109]Str8JDM[/MENTION], a bunch of instagram followers and many others. Was a great day overall. I hustled hard all morning, day, and night on Saturday to get my car ready for Sunday. It was a last minute decision. I had none of the parts installed that I planned to have on for Honda Day, I wasn't able to meet with [MENTION=277]AndrewBigA[/MENTION] to get my car detailed, and many other things. I was very unprepared by my standards. However, my paint came out great after washing the car and prepping it myself for Honda Day, thanks to Big A's detailing job from last summer and his advice to clean the car at the show. With a long hustle and no sleep for two days, I showed up to Honda Day with the beat package I was able to bring considering it was last minute.
I ended up winning 1st place for all 06+ Civics, I was super excited (considering it was the first car show I've ever entered) and the award turned on many people's interest in my car. Needless to say, the car is easy to pass up if you don't know all the things that have been done to it. Anyways, here are a few pics from Honda Day:

I want to thank all of my friends and family for their help on my car and their support. And to my online forum/instagram/faceboom family, thank you very much for your help and strong support. Without you all, I would have never been where I am now. Much love!
Congrats!
Congrats seen some pix floating around...
Yea man. It was great to finally meet you and talk in person. Car looked great. Got to meet [MENTION=98]stage2auto[/MENTION] through you and just talk k series for a few. Definitely was a great Honda day for sure man.

I was working on my friends 02 gixxer, the rear brake wasn't working. So, I tried to bleed the brakes and fluid barely came out. So, we ordered a rebuild kit for the rear master. Swapped that out, cleaned the gunk out and needed fluid to bleed the caliper. He picked up something random on his way back, he brought a yellow Pennzoil 12 fl.oz super heavy duty that exceeds DOT3&4 boiling temps. So I rebled the rear caliper. BOOM: hard as a rock :giggle: :thatswhatshesaid:
I thought that fluid was pretty interesting, it also mixes with any other non-silicone based fluid. So I gave it a shot. So far, it's awesome. Did some normal driving and I'm happy so far. Won't be a true fan until I do some real back-to-back high speed braking though. We'll see.
As for the car, I'll be installing my fuel return and intake manifold within a week. I have an insane idea with my turbo that I have yet to see, so I'll keep you all updated on that.
:popcorn:
Looks great man. What kind of paint is that?Quote:

Came out like shit :mad: didn't wrinkle. I have a feeling I know why. But I'm hoping I can just add a couple layers on top and rebake without it looking shitty or overpainted.Quote:

Well, the IM wasn't the best turn out. Still need to repaint, waiting for a beautiful day for that.
In the mean time, [MENTION=83]vdubkilla[/MENTION] pointed iut that my catch can and intake filters are so close that the oil vapors are going right in the turbo anyway. So, I purchased this last night:

Debating what to do with the paint scheme of it. It's aluminum, and quite a nice piece if I do say so myself. Here's a pic for reference of my cc and intake:

Those are my mini updates for now, might do my IM and fuel rail install this coming week, along with my new knock sensor.
I say leave it as polished aluminum, I think that would look good. Also there is a great DIY for the knock sensor on 8th written by vtec fred. I replaced mine a couple months ago and it was pretty easy, but that guide was a nice reference.
Shot this reminds me I need a new knock sensor as well! It's easy to swap with the intake manifold off ;)Quote:
