It's cool. You're allowed to come in and ask me questions in here. You're my friend. I just don't want everyone coming in here and making the thread about your question though.

As far as where to get decent generic parts like a rear sway bar, you'd probably be better off making another thread. I just don't know exactly where to send you for the best bang for your buck.

You might be able to find something good in the Market Place though.

And yes, we'll have to hang out.

Yep. Flash oxidation on the piston and brake pad -- less than 40 miles.

Spoon Street mufflers hang differently than a lot of other ones, and also the tip comes out at an angle.

Regardless of that picture, the badges came with the paper templates -- and they were used. The badges are on in the correct place per Honda.

There's also a glare in the photo of NOFX's you posted, making it look like the "red" space between the bottom and top are disproportionate.

It's in the correct position. It's the same height off the roll line as the VTEC emblem.

As for the Civic badge, it seemed stupid to REMOVE a badge just to replace it a millimeter up and left. You didn't come in to give advice. You came in to tell her that parts were wrong.

Funny, that's the pic I used. And the 1.6iSR badge looks higher in my pic than it really is since there's a glare under the taillight. It's even with the VTEC badge. Oh, and "Civic" badges tend to break in half when you remove them.

Everything looks perfect in person. I like how it is.

Here is my example of near perfect alignment.
I AM NOT using zip tie or worm bands to secure my exhaust. You're not the first one to complain about the exhaust. The hangers are original and in perfect condition. Weird angle of the cell phone pic I took for reference, but they're not odd looking in person besides that I wouldn't mind them making the tip come out a little more even... BUT... I am not going to f*** my muffler just to make it slightly more even.

For any other complaints, see the following: I don't care about your opinion. I have other things I've been focusing on about the car besides the damn badges and muffler looks. Stop posting photos of other cars in here or I will report them.

Eran drives a silver del Sol.

Paul is my friend with the white Corrado G60. I'm the one who showed up as a passenger in the gray 240SX and bought a moonroof visor (which didn't fit... oh well).

I need to get a new battery (haven't decided on what yet) and then would like to get some chassis work done and get an alignment.

Taupe*. It's not brown, it's gray. But it's not gray, it's brown.

Sturmmann, could you please remove the photos you posted? It's fine to link them, but no need to have a bunch of photos of other cars in here.

If you would like to argue with Eran, please PM him.
