Default Crouching Civic / Not-So-Hidden Turbo

I used to be rolling sleeper style with a sidemount intercooler, but I decided to hit my 200whp goal, I'll need all the help I can get so I picked up a FMIC along with some other goodies waiting to be installed.

Nothing special, just another Greddy turbo/AFC hack (soon) D16Y8.

For those wondering, it's a DRAG III FMIC





Edit: I suck at pics!

It was cool out, so I just wanted to take a quick shot and roll. I think I left my digicam on manual focus.

And yes, I'll bring a tripod next time, but I felt weird since I took the pics in a church parking lot, and all these people just coming out of a wedding were looking at me funny, so I boned outta there looking all suspect and shiet.

yeah, I like seeing the look on ricers' faces around here when I drive by. Just a stock looking civic that does burnouts from a stop to the beginning of 3rd. Not the fastest thing on the road, but I have less than 2k in my SOHC setup so I'm not disappointed.

It is a stock bumper, just with a chopped grill. I'm done being sleeper...it's time to show that I'm actually got something under the hood (plus I need it, it's getting HOT around here soon). I take a good amount of anti-theft precautions, but if they take her from me, well that's what insurance is for. It's just a car.

don't paint your IC.. leave the bare metal.. better cooling efficiency! think about it.. with a bottle of pop and a can of pop.. what stays colder longer... THE CAN CUZ ITS METAL!.. the plastic bottle represents paint! BUUHAHAHA

My goal has been 200hp also. When you first posted about your turbo (before your sleeper look) it showed me the route I wanted to take. Nice job.
