Not too bad. Looking forward to peeling the tint off and giving the Civic and TL a proper detail & mini-photo shoot on Saturday.

*If anyone comes across a brown glove box and/or passenger side air vent, please please please pick them up for me and I will immediately Paypal the money*

Noob ? what is the difference between the innovative EF front crossmember and the EF tratcion bar? Which would you guys recommend and does the traction bar also replace the stock crossmember?

Have the traction bar, check my build thread for pics. If you plan to go low, plan to ride stiff as fawk cause this thing hangs low. It does replace the front crossmember and gives you a TON of clearance for whatever header/manifold you decide to run.

I love mine

I love mine, but I'm blanking on the brand at the moment. I'll tell you one thing. When you hit it you REALLY feel it If you are handy you could honestly make one, and make it with better clearance.

Glad you like it, they are really rare out here, especially sedans.

Thx for the help guys, im currently in the process of purchasing an innovative front traction bar for the sedan. A little pricey tho but I think ill make it. Cant find it cheaper then like $290 with free shipping. Cant wait to get my hands on one tho, and again THX a lot for the help it really made my decision a lot easier.

$290!!! Fawk!!! Traded a set of mint Si seats and a trashed D15 for mine He wanted the seats but I told him to take the motor too if he wanted it.

Bout to need a new set of rubber, mine are on their last couple thousand. Before I do so, I need to freshen up the suspension a bit. My rear drv side RTA bushing is shot and causing some uneven wear on the pass side, so that has to be replaced. My question, does HONDA sell a full OEM bushing kit or do I need to buy them individually? Haven't done a lot of suspension work, so if a kit is not available, what bushings are an absolute must to replace in this situation?

^ Honestly I'd go with energy suspension's bushings over a factory bushing. I used them on my em1, and love them! I will be doing them on the four door in the future.

Screw ES bushings! Every car I've personally seen with them was a squeaking machine within 6 months. For now, comfort and proper suspension geometry is what I'm looking for. When she becomes a hill-climber, spherical bushings will take their place.

installed my hondaprimo banner thats been sitting for a year

washing my car for the first time is fun

Also took the time to install my headlight washer reservoir tank and system setup, includes the windshield washer pumps, aux pumps, main headlight washer pumps etc. next thing on my list is to wire up the washers

And i think i told you guys about this before, i bought this oem aux rear taillight harness for cb7(comes with a direct plugnplay harness to mate to the taillight harness) I had to repin the plugs to change out my ef plugs to cb7 plugs on the drivers side only. Liked the idea very much not to mention it is oem, so it fit perfectly. Ran the wiring through the trunklid out the sides. Pinning took about an hour, made sure all the wires mated correctly, and removed the extra wires that had no function on my car. everything works! now i have a fuse to prevent my led from burning out, and its plugs in like OEM! dangggggggg

Car look sexy mitsu, glad to see it all in one piece. Time to color that avatar "GGOOOOLLLDDDDD"



I've been planning to pick up one of those primo banners for quite some time now, won't be going in the typical place though And I'm not sure if it's big enough to serve my purpose, might have to have one made.
