what was the worst MOD you've done...
Id have to say getting those cheap slip-over coil- overs when i had my teg GSR... they would change ride height every two days and id have to adjust them. But heh, i was desprapte and really needed a drop.

Dicking around with my headlights. I've had the housings apart and them out of the car more times than I'd care to admit and now I feel like my light output sucks and I can never get them aimed correctly and am always unhappy with them.

How bout un-modding the car? Almost 7 years ago when i first bought my car( 2nd owner) i was a major nub... still am kinda, but i pulled off my stock yellow fogs and sold my 5zigen div3's. If i could, i would go back and punch the old me in the fukn' throat.

I've already posted in it, so what would lead you to believe a mod was going to move it?
When I first got the car, the first thing I did was throw in some PIAA Plasma headlights a buddy of mine gave me. I've tried about 20 different kids of headlights and never gotten excited about going to a full HID retro even though I've done a few and they look great. I just don't do enough night driving to justify 400 bucks worth of projectors/HIDs. I've painted them twice and had them leak a bunch of times. I've got the cloudiest lenses in the world and I've done just about everything I can to clean them up, but a few months later they're right back to being crappy. I hate headlights.

yeah, i was thinking this thread might be a suitable refrence for NOOBS who are getting into the honda-scene and are itching for some "sweet" mods...
ebay slip-overs FTL, save up and get some ground controls.

bitch.....
me suprisingly is my manual swap...I regret it and don't, since some of the parts I bought from some people here were messed up to begin with, but I do as hell enjoy driving stick every where I go (minus grid-lock traffic).
Now to swap in a B

Installing a gay *** big rear wing on a 97 accord I had. What a ricer I was.
totalled the car though so I got a fresh canvas to keep de-riced at all times.
Ebay coilovers also, never again.

Re: (sauceja)
Worst mod was the CF euro tails I put on my S10 when I was 17. They looked fine on the truck, but that could have been money spent elsewhere.

Re: (DaX)
I must say it was my old body kit. Not that it didnt look right or anything but the fact that the money could have gone towards engine parts is what kills me

Re: (Luserkid)
Probably going to be my turbo setup. Only because I've put all this time and money into getting it together and all in all it will just shorten the life of my car... sigh the draw backs of having kick *** fun!

"dripping" tint.... stolen directly from a minitruckin magazine. back in 91, i was the coolest guy around.... tough to tell from the pic, but look at the top of the windshield.
i still really liked the paint job. i built the car with junkyard parts ( i grew up in a jumkyard, so i got everything for free) and it was one of the best cars i ever owned.
i still have the hood, it is on my wall...

way back, as in a few weeks ago? we all have done stupid ****, especially when we were young.
hell, i pulled the doors & windows off one of my civics to make it faster. i proptly got pulled over by a state trooper. he told me it was illegal to remove the doors... to which i replied "what about jeep? they have no doors...." suffice to say he followed me home and watched me put the doors back on.

fugg, that car woulda been lucky to break low 20's.... 1.3L, 60hp (at the crank) with a super wide 4 speed. but, stuff it in a corner, and i was in heaven....
