Re: ___||SOHC Squad V.3||___
I am lame Garrett, but this opens up a whole new field for me. I've been wanting to swap a 5spd transmission in the civic. I am looking for a y8 tranny to pair with my z6 block and head. Even now with being auto, the car puts out enough power, or at least what I'm looking for. So my plans are just to tranny swap, rust fix, custom built exhaust. All the cosmetic pieces, lips, lights and such I am going to try and purchase all OEM.
The dumped, sunk, slammed scene isn't for me I suppose. Especially since I need to be able to drive my boy.

Ya I understand man. It probably also depends on your roads because I know mine rides rougher then stock, but its just bouncy. It doesn't really slam hard or anything or ride real rough b/c most of my roads are decent. But then again I still have wheel gap so I am not that low (sarcasm) lol
Ya man I still sorta want a 5 speed, but then I also don't. Its going to cost me around 800-1200 depending on parts and all that. Right now that money sounds alot better going into some cosmetic upgrades, and with my commuting the auto has been very nice, only thing I don't like is when I get on it and it shifts to early lol.
On another note, my gas mileage has gone up since I was stock it seems. I know my tires are slightly smaller then regular so they change my speedometer a tiny amount which in turn can change the odometer and then my gas mileage reading, but its def not enough for the amount I am seeing. I think the exhaust helped

Ya I saw a accord with some front end damage for 850, its manual too! haha...
O wow yours is short! I was thinking you added the elbow to a short ram intake. The ones I was looking at almost extend to where the stock air filter is. I just don't want a cai due to being low and when it rains here it rains and puddles/floods.

Garret. Are you still looking for an intake? I have one I just took off my car, brand new filter, and brand new intake. You can have it for the price of shipping if you want it. Let me upload a picture.
