Hey James how is the civic coming along?

Bently_Coop

Just read through this. Build is pretty nice. I like how you used a different chassis than most. SHG always doing big too.

Wheel setup is serious business

Nice! Reminds me of RSX ASpec wheels.

I found this thread after doing a Google image search for the raspberry blue metallic paint. That stuff is psychedelic! Anyway, this is an amazing build. Can't wait to see it all come together.

Those wheels have always been too plain for me. But I think it's why many people like their simple, lightweight design.

Sorry for the lack of updates. My computer died back in December and I just got around to building a new one. Still sorting thru the mess, but lots of big changes happened in the past 4 months. Some of you know, but for those that don't, here is a sneak peek...
