My Build Thread
Hello everyone!
I got my EM2 in July 2007 right after my other 2000 Civic crapped the bed. I decided to trade in the 2000 for the EM2. I am glad I did especially since my old civic had 121k on it and the EM2 had 21k.
Updates on what has happened to my whip:
So May of 2008 after I got my motorcycles license the transmission seizes with 36k on the vehicle! Honda paid for it. Come August, go to the Patriots game, get into a car accident, but to me it was a blessing because I got a new front bumper which I needed along with a new hood and headlights. Then a week later I was driving in a big tropical storm we had and the motor hydro locked, and it was replaced by the insurance thank God. And most recently I drove it through the massive ice storm we had where everyone lost power for a week. Well a branch fell in front of my vehicle smashing the bumper in along with the a/c condenser. The hood is dinged up pretty bad and now I have a lot of scratches which were not there before. So I have dubbed my ride "The Heart Breaker."

Fujita Cold Air Intake
Exedy Stage 1 Clutch
OEM Fogs
Revo SS
