alright thats cool. yay! someone is interested in the trade as for the headlight project, im gonna be doing a DIY angle eye around the parking light and painting the housing black. so its kinda JDM with a lil twist[hr]

well painting your headlights black is not JDM because our civic dosen't come with black headlights and putting angel eye isn't either because angel eyes come of a BMW and everyone is biting of that if you want to stay original leave your car stock

We need to start our own Michigan Civic site guys. I am so sick of all of the idiots on this board and all of the kiddy crap. Doing it here amongst us Detroiters is one thing but all of the idiots on the main forums are getting old. How hard do you guys think it would be to make a site for Michigan Civic owners?

i was thinkin of that too, but i dont know how we'll spread the word. when you mean civic, do you mean just 7gens or 7gen+previous gens? i know i wont have the money to chip in to maintain a server or the skills to make a good php message board.. so money is another factor.

well now i think about it, it might not be hard to pass the word. just goto shows and have fliers to pass out or something. i duno.. if we can get hooked up on some free fast webspace (doubt it'll happen) we could do it. i know a friend thats in the webdesign business, so i could ask him a personal favor to make a easy forum.

I think I am getting a welder soon. I also think my plans changed once agian.... Teins miht have to wait, instead I think I am going to use the cash to pay off my Civic and then start moding it more. I might just do some little things this year or just get the Eibachs for now and then sell them when get the Teins later.

Sport or race? Eibachs are Pro or Sport [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] I am going with the 1" Prokit drop. They are supposed to handle better and they actually settle to like 1.24-1.5 I guess. That way I should be ok with stock shocks. Rob said I can get them for like $185 at Flexivity. I would kind of rather get them from them guys cause they are close and all. What would they be at tornactive?

i was thinkin of neuspeed. lol uh, lemme check the site and i'll edit this post

EDIT: damn, your gettin a deal.. on tornactive it would be $210.90 shipped. so over at flex, even after tax, its still cheaper. (with tax comes out to $196.10)

oh, now im reconsidering tein vs BG.. im leanin towards bg again cuz you can drop it to 3", while tein is 1.7~2, or something close to that. but then teins are adjustable struts, while BG are autoadjusting to road conditions

Progress will be coming out with a coil-over set for our rides in the Sprin too I think. But they don't seem to be 16 way adjustable like the Tein's.

I don't know if this thing will even happen. But I am not a big fan of people leaving advertisements on my car so I would not want to do it to others.
