Question Playin' catch-up... What happened this past year?

Hi Guys,

I've been somewhat busy this last year and I haven't had time to pay attention to the forums. I probably missed all of the good posts. Anyone knowledgeable enough to remember what I missed? Maybe help me find some relevant threads? I don't think that I could manage by just searching. Well, it'de take me a hella long time anyway...

Ya you might wanna join premium and see what's there. Hmm let's see, alot of us got into accidents, there's a bad vendor list in transaction feedback, new 7thgen stickers coming soon, a few new stuff added to the site like vbookie, There are some new moderators now, the site almost shut down, lots of love drama between members, etc. I could go on all day.

Life is good. Wife is nice. Civic is covered in salt. The tC is nice, it's not stock anymore; it's got the OEM door sills. MA is ok, but we've got a hella long winter on our hands; I wish it would end. EMC is nice. Yep, I'm still with EMC.

Initial D 4th Stage is nice!!! I D/Led 1- 10. I haven't seen 11 and 12 yet. I'll D/L them soon though. I will definately buy the whole set when it comes out. I have 1st, 2nd, The Movie, The Extra Stage, and the Battle Stage.

Whats up Grey, long time no see. Have you done any new mods on the Civic? It's just about summer, time to wash the car man, stop slacking. By the way, your Revo upgrade on my shifter is holding up nice.

Hell no! Damn, I hated making those things. FYI, I needed the money back then, so I offered to make people the same set of pedals that I have for something like $100 shipped. The thihg is that it took me like 15+ hours to make a set and that's over like 5 days. I actually ended up selling my dead pedal and now I'm without a dead pedal since I have 0 time to make myself one now. I will sooner or later though.

I never really left. I just don't post as often as I used to. I usually check out the North East forum to see if anything is happening where I live. Plus I still sell my Revo SS upgrade kit and my endlinks, so I answer my PM's.

Hey dude... I'm not sure if I have done anything huge to the Civic since I last posted. Minor stuff here and there. Still changing my oil regularly. I changed my radiator fluid. I changed my changed my brake fluid to DOT 4. I changed my transmition fluid. I tightened up my e-brake (again). I cleaned my K&N air filter. I changed out my cabin air filters. I lightened a couple of things (on the same note as the gas cap DIY).

I do have a ton of things waiting on me to get off my *** though... I've got the Function 7 rear lower control arms to install. I've got a new Tanabe Sustec UnderBrace to install (my old one was kinda bent and ripped open by a run-in I had with a brick). I have to take off my old tires and put on my new tires (225/45-17) and balance them (I have the tools to DIY now). I have to take off my whole exhaust system (damaged by that run-in with a brick) and put on my new cat and RS*R ExMag exhaust. I have to install my alarm system, etc.

I think the 6th gen you're referring to was Phil's (TwilightX's). I actually got the tC for my wife! hehe... It's nice, but I like my Civic. I will never give it up. Never! I will modify it and modify it and modify it and I will not STOP. I will not sell it. I will keep it and keep on making it better.

Yeah dude, pissah! Call me up. We'll take her for a test drive. She's a heavy biatch in the corners, but she accelerates better than my Civic. More aerodynamic too, the wind doesn't slow her down as much. MT of course. I wouldn't buy an AT! Never!

one more thing, and im not sure how interested you really would be in this change, but the girls on the boards now are not shy anymore about posting their pictures. and when i mean theyre not shy, i mean theyre REALLY not shy...this, depending on the girl, could be a good or a bad thing. LOL
