Wow, that's seriously stock on the outside. Intentions?

EDIT: What are all those wires in the engine bay for?

those wires are from when I reran all the wiring for the headlights because I got a wee bit of smoke from the headlight switch in the interior once, so I just disconnected the headlights from their respective sockets and got some off of another scrapped civic, and ran new wiring to a three way switch with double fuses and then a straigth cable to the battery... ghetto, I know... eventually I'll replace the actual switch and get rid of that, oh yea, those power steering hoses are gone, I just didnt feel like removing them that day..

Whatever you feel is a good process.

In terms of upgrades, if I were you, the first bit of money I had would be going to having those steelies melted down and getting some good wheels. Night/Day difference in appearance.

1. Wrong Forum
2. Nice APC fuse box cover
3. Your friend ripped you off charging you $150 for an ebay strut tower

He is off to a shakey start, but who's to say nobody else has been like that?

Anywho, I already reported the thread to be moved to the A/C section, but it hasn't been moved yet, so I guess it's staying here.

I thought it was just trial members. Well, I guess it's proved that the rule applies to new members in general.

Yeah I see no reason why a new member cant show off thier new car, gets them acquainted with everyone. Please chill with the reporting and flaming, too many good threads getting locked/deleted lately.
