Heads up! mines will be for sell soon at a good price, Drove by meltons honda on the way home and saw in the lot a red 2003 civic with xenon body kit, montegi wheels, carbonfiber tails, exhaust , mini-me wing, somebody is going to have it easy when they buy that car its all done , not sure about the motor they were asking $22.000.00 car looks good[hr]

Under the hood is an Injen SRI intake just like mine The exhaust is only an axel back though [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] I got to see that car through all of its steps at Flexivity!

Well xHoteKx, if Friday is not good for you, we could do it on saturday night. Then I would have time to clean my car a bit more. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] Just let me know guys. pick a place and time and we can do it. I'm thinking maybe afternoon so it's still daylight??? If not, we can do it later, it's no big deal. LATER

Hiya fellas! I am bored! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] Going to go up to Flexivity to pic up my rear strut bar for the hatch today. Hope it came in. I am sure it did. I think if I like it I will get one for the coupe just as long as I will have enough room for the sub box.

Question: Anyone ever use JBL speakers? I can get a good deal on them and was thinking of getting a set of 6.5's and 6X9's for the hatch. I just wanna know how they are before I get them. Thanks

Thanks! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I get more comments on the red one then I ever did on the black one. I would really like to make the hatch go since the 2001 will never go.

Why not both of them? If I do everything to the black one all at once I will be bored with it and sell it in a year like I have done all my previous cars / truck. There is so much more engine mods and swaps for the hatch than there is parts alone for the coupe. It is just fun for me messing around with both cars. I am taking my hatch to the boys at Unleaded Racing this weekend for some suggestions. And I get to see how Tim is making a one peice fiberglass front end for the Delsol. It is in Taylor if anyone wants to roll with me let me know.

Everyone dead or what around here? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] I am so glad I got that rear strut bar on the hatch. The car is so much tighter now and feels so much better. Looks like I need a front one now and both for the coupe

Damm it is quiet around here...where is everyone been? Anyway, I was thinking. If you ever need warranty work done on your car and you take it to Melton and they say something about your intake or exhaust all you have to do is say that the cars they are selling that flexivity did have an injen sri and an exhaust done .

Magic, sorry about not getting back to you about meeting. I am taking my hatch to the guys house that run unleadedracing.com saturday and giving him a hand building a fiberglass front clip and another guy is coming to install a half shaft in the hatch.

Am I the only 7th generation guy alive still in Metro Detroit? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] Where has everyone been? Any projects going on? I talked to some guys about my hatch Saturday and it looks like there is hope for that thing yet without doing an engine swap and on a budget!! Now I got to find the next thing to do to the coupe to hold me over for a bit.
