I still need to weld my freaking bracket that broke on my intake. I forgot all about it till just a while ago. I am really debating putting on the cold air extension of fear for sucking up water. Do you guys think the cold air extension is worth putting on or just leave the short ram alone? The cold air one looks like it will still be getting heat from the radiator anyway. Thanks guys!

I can't wait for SS2! I have never been to an import show and this will be sweet. I was only at that Murray's on Woodward once and it was too cold for many people to be out. Can't wait for this spring / summer. I will be introduced to a whole new game!

Here's something that might look cool. I did this when I painted mt truck's interior...I sprayed a real good base coat..say you could use silver....then I sprayed a really light coat and held the can further away when I did it.....say in red. This looked pretty sweet in my opinion.

Yeah for sure...Just doing a little bit at a time...I wanna do farther up the dash closer to the windshield...but I don't know if I'm gonna go more silver...or it I'll do red...I think silver would be better...Any suggestions?...Also...U think the direct sun might screw that up if I paint it...??

do it silver.. the sun might do something though.. so get one of those windshield sun cover stuff or something, that might help.. but nice dash

we should all go to ss2 together, that would be pretty fun.. where/when is it?

Yeah Wojo, there is not too many Civics around here yet. That is why I got one. I had a lowered GMC Sonoma but there are so many of them lowered trucks floating around it just got old. What does your car look like Wojo? Maybe I will see you around.

I don't think I will be doing any drag racing at Milan...I think I would be embarrassed racing my little civic there. But I still can't wait to hang this year. I am meeting more and more car people everyday so this year will be great for me. (knock on wood). I am taking a ride this afternoon to my cousins house to see the air bag suspension on his Mustang. Him and his buddies are cool car guys, they like tham all. Oh 3 more weeks until I get my house! I have to have a big ol' tree cut down and I am going to paint my basement walls and epoxy my garage floor before I move in.....temperature permitting. Later all!

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I am having a lift installed in the garage too. Along with a retractable roof so my car won't hit the joist when it goes up. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Huy...haven't seen you around much lately...What's new with your ride?...Got any suprises or new stuff that we should know about? I haven't had a chance to get over to autowerks recently...

anyways...I'm thinking about gettin rid of these terrible seats...Huy or does anyone know of any sort of deal on seats...I've been lookin on ebay...but pickings are very slim...and still really pricey...Who would think that seats would be near a grand for decent reclinables???

I dunno...and Stylin...let me know if u can work anything out with those rims of yours...I'm trying to find some good prices on tires...but everything is just too $$$ for my wallet!!!
