mushroom_toy

Sorry to let ya know but they dont make intakes for our cars. You can modify a civic or integra one to fit, but mine is made out of 2.5" exhaust cut to fit.

Heres what I started with



Then made some cuts

Nice looking ride. What did you do to the strut towers? Is that to make the car sit lower and if so how did you do the rear and how is the handling with extra bolt length.

mushroom_toy

Actually I extended my strut towers. Ground control or skunk 2 makes a kit for civic which is prettier for a lot of cash but I did it for less than 20 bucks. In my case it was to have good enough strut travel lowered. With my setup even if i slam it out more I have full strut travel and a LOT less chance of blowing struts esp stocks, since they are riding just like they were on a stock car. Also you can change the pitch and the angle of the struts, but I really didnt need to.

And it handles like it used to all except I dont bottom out my strut towers in the front which I was doing when I first lowered it.

Did you have to put a camber kit on when you did thisand do have any other pics of how that is setup?

mushroom_toy

Im running prelude adjustable control arms for the front, but the tophat mod doesnt change your camber. My car is lowered and like anything when you lower it your camber changes.

For more info pics check out my build thread, not sure what pages this stuff is on.
