The engine bay needs a little bit of cleaning love, but all in all...nice car and numbers

I'd look into "blacking out" the clear section of your taillights to compliment the headlights.


What kind of 60' did you run when you ran the 12.9? Were you on slicks or street radials?

Just curious, but did you use low compression pistons or did you just boost a 11.1 compression motor with like what, 6 lbs of boost?

I've never understood that. Oh well, drop a couple inches off those wheels and it'd be money.

I used a cometic 3mm head gasket to drop the compression down to 9-1.I am running 14psi of boost.

I would like to have smaller wheels but I just cant get rid of these ones.

Nice car! Def. wasn't expecting that in the engine bay.

Leave the tails the same, grab an OEM front lip, CTR grill and you're golden.

I live in eastern Canada and our roads are pretty shitty dropping more I would scrape everywhere more then I already do.Plus I have traction bars that hang lower then my bumper so it makes it worse.

I really don't understand this "needs mirrors" BS.

Your explaination is not necessary. There is no problem understanding what they are saying when they say "it needs mirrors", the problem is understanding why they feel the need to say it at all (waddy41 specifically).

Seriously, leaving the stock mirrors is not a sin, its not illegal, and it certainly isn't horrible looking. Sure, there may be a few different styles to choose from, but nothing beats stock for visibility, usability, and fitment.

I guess the daily to-do list includes "u need mirrors" posted in every thread with a 96+ civic.
