Many of us go through tragic events in life, and family are the closest people to you during those events. They make you smile, laugh, and forget about the bad. I want to thank my 8thcivic family for wishing me the best and a speedy recovery since my accident in April of 2010.
Also, my turbo build is dedicated to a fallen 8thcivic member, Tobie Cook (sh33t 0f p4p3r).
Thank you to Supa Ninja (Neener), Soxfan143(Mike), BlueSi4(Oriol), and anyone else who has helped me get to where I am now. I know the tons of questions weren't easy, lol. :grouphug:
ill have to post up both of my build threads LOLOLOL

Nasty build man ! I love the purple valve cover, it actually fits right in and looks killer.
Once my SRT kit gets here and I have time to install (around beginning of May) I will post a build thread.

Thanks man, I thought the matching shocker was a nice touch :biggrin: Yea you should definitely post up once your kit is in. You can even post up in the mean time with any questions or informative posts.

Glad you like the site, I think it's a good spot for us boosted members (turbo or supercharged) :turbosmiley: And the more the merrier when it comes to more people!

:rotfl: And no we didn't race, but it would have went my way because he has absolutely no traction 1-4. I would somewhat hook in 3rd and hook in 4th (both of us were on stock wheels and 215 tires). Now I have 245's and hook in 3-6 and mostly 1-2. BBG FTW!

u guys shoulda done a freeway pull!!
btw what kind of filter do u have on ur intake?
03-23-2011
Si Speed 317
Yea we should have, but we didn't lol. We were busy romping on this STi :rotfl: I don't remember the name, it's a generic one I had laying around. I'm probably going to put a fujita filter on it when this one goes bad.
03-23-2011
fre$h si
oh fasho, just askin i like those filter that have the top open like that one and the spetre filters. i shoulda got one of those instead of a k&n

Spectre filters rust really easily, I've seen a few cars in my friend's shop with rusted, falling apart spectre filters.
03-23-2011
fre$h si
wow really??my friend is letting me borrow his sprectre filter right now till i put my build together and it seems in good shape...
hey what size hose r u running for your water cooling? i bought 10ft of hose and that **** is too big fml
03-24-2011
Si Speed 317
I'm not sure, the shop supplied them. It's all based off the banjo bolts you have for your turbo. Take your banjo bolts to your local autozone and they'll tell you what size hose you need
03-24-2011
fre$h si
I did, autozone didn't have **** can u believe that? I went to a hose place w/ the fitting & I still got the wrong stuff :facepalm: fml

Yea, I'm very power hungry. They have all the parts, they'll be starting on it Monday. Hopefully should have it the following week. I really can't wait to update my thread with pics of how my car will look when I get it back. :biggrin:

Well, since my car is in the shop, I decided I needed to do some shopping around. I'll be getting a custom tubular top mount manifold and downpipe, and most likely a GT3076R as the snail :thumb: Hope everything goes well, it'll be a pretty penny.
Needless to say, my current TSI manifold/GT2871R/downpipe/testpipe will be up for sale.

Progress: Quarter is welded on and rolled :thumb: All parts are in and the paint choice is pretty much set!
I can't wait to get her back. Going to be siiiiiick
04-14-2011
Yoklus
your puttin a fresh paint job on her??
04-14-2011
Si Speed 317
Yup :wiggle: They have to paint almost all of the car except the fender and roof, so I asked them if we could change the color and they said yea what the hell, it's only 2 more panels lol. Plus, Honda paint absolutely SUCKS. If there's one thing I absolutely hate, it's that Honda has crummy paint. My wheels are going to be pretty fkn dope too :spaz: I'm ridiculously excited

Just ordered my new manifold and downpipe :thumb: Sick manifold too :upsidedownparty:

Freeway pulls are fun you get traction and you're gone in no time hahaha
04-16-2011
Si Speed 317
They're tons of fun. Can't wait till I have my new setup done, just working out the little kinks in my situation.
Shaved the trunk, both rear quarters are fully rolled (more like pinched), new door is put on. l'll update tomorrow with more pictures :thumb:

looking good are u doing ur own body work?
04-21-2011
Si Speed 317
Nope, this is at my friend's shop. I'll have a photoshoot with his Supra and my Si when his supra is done. He keeps doing shit to it, lol.

damn wish i knew friend did body work, currently looking to get my bumper & rear HFP repainted.
04-21-2011
Si Speed 317
He owns a body shop, so it worked out that way. Wait until my car's out, I'll show before and after pictures, then it'll be simply perfection. I CAN NOT WAIT!

Seems like you're cars going to come out with some surprises. Smart idea to shave the rear completely, not many people do that because of the wholes. Car's looking a little high in the rear though, still on the stands? And that manifold looks SICK. I wonder why more companies don't make top-mount manifolds..
