Like 5zigen do you?

Though I searched and saw a pic --^.. Looks nice - though I only found it as "Heidfeld Mesh" .. hope it isn't any different from what I saw.

Sadly, I'm past that km mark .. why I'm thinking I shouldn't even spend $ on the ride - just upgrade perhaps (or just maintenance and save my money)... still got time to decide I guess, but then again need to decide on other things first (like a job/career or possibly school again )

Don't bust your head over it, it will all work out eventually. If your gonna switch car models, you could wait it out for the 2006 civic si. Otherwise I've been looking at used rsx Type S with low mileage being sold at Honda and Acura dealers. But I'm just looking at the moment, still got a long way to go until I pay off my car . I wonder how fast the type S is than my car, cause I get exiced in my mine everytime I got over 4 k rpms . Darm thing pulls hard in first second and third, in a bit of time your already doing 180 . Maybe I aint ready for a Type S. I've been in a GTI, that thing throws you back in the seat, but I think thats cause of the torque, its much faster than my car in a straightline but the guy had 200whp, with the 6 speed, handling was ..... not like out civics at all.


Faze when did you get the veloz body kit? I need one badly.

True that the 06 concept si looks sick .. though I doubt I'll get a first year generation car again.. and besides that.. getting those cars mentioned would resulted in me having to learn how to drive them - as I'm only auto trained


Anyone seen the 05 wheels from Fast Wheels?? Couple of those models actually make me want to buy them - more specifically, just the black Inferno

Two day bump .. where you all at? Hiding away playing GT4 or something?

I know it can't be the nice weather.. unless you think the snow is nice. Then again, you might enjoy it if you ski/snowboard, but well

Hey there is a tunning shop on boulevard st-charles before the pierrefonds boulevard intersection. Have you guys been there?

Is anyone going for a similar set-up as me?
================================
progress 22mm rear sway bar and tie bar
grey endlinks
Ingalls rear camber kit


tokico hp shocks
neuspeed sports for the coupe

I went there looking for a price quote when I was looking for a Neuspeed front upper tiebar. Basically my highest/first price came from them - so I didn't go back to them.

I got the tie bar on.. the sway bar is in my garage - as well as those endlinks. Doubt I'll put them on (like I doubt I do anything with my car)

Why don't you want to put on the bars? I remember you said you were concerned about safety.

Seeing as I don't really have any tools - or really any good mechanical experience, I took the stuff to RMR (where I bought the upper tiebar from) to have installed.. After getting the tiebars installed, the mechanic tried to put the rear-sway, but wasn't sure about it - as there was also an issue with the fitment (it seemed too close/right against) the exhaust. He wasn't sure if it was because there was a kink in the exhaust system (looked like it) or if the bar was to be placed in another fashion but in the end, he didn't have time to experiment/hack & readjust the exhaust as he had lots of appointments that day. Since that day - I haven't done anything about it....


Oh, and back to your question - it looks like FaZe might be interested in a small drop FS/FT: Neuspeed Sport springs (update price) - by Shaman in Canada For Sale

Karumba its not hard to install the rear sway bar you don't need a lift. Did the guy @ RMR charge you to intstall the bar?

which bar? From what I remember he basically only charged me the time he took - which was installation of upper front and lower tie bar (ie Progess' adapter bar) The discussion time we had wasn't thrown in and I know we spent over half an hour talking/trying to get it to fit better.

The rear progress bar should fit. Do you have an aftermarket exhaust?

Not anywhere close .. just a slightly touched stock exhaust. - the rain rattling has somewhat been diminished by heating/moving the pipe & braces in the front end.. still happens, but not as badly as it used to. Though the piping going to the exhaust looks like it has a kink in it why the exhaust part looks too close to where the bar should be.

I guess it will take you 20-25 mins tops. If you go to a garage 10 mins for them, Its very simple and much easier since they have a lift. Its a very basic install, when my mechanic friend get's back I'm actually gonna ask him to let me do it and keep and eye out so I don't mess up anything(sometime this Month). There are 6 bolts in totals, 4 for the sway bar bushings and 2 for the endlinks.

What kind of work do you do?

Let me know if you wanna sell your endlinks ... I am planning to install the RSX type S rear sway bar this spring on the stock endlink. Stock one should be okay, but better endlink should be better!

Hit me back moreso when its time to install/near install - I'll think about it though it'll probably happen.. just don't want to commit to anything right now.

Speaking of that .. the Progress adapter kit comes with endlinks in there *least mine did*. I assume they are suitable enough to do the job, but Grey's definitely look a lot sturdier.

So if you wanted to do the bar idea - it costs down a headache

Grey sells a progress adapter kit. Are you sure you got your endlinks from Progress? I didn't know they have endlinks.

I'm pretty sure the bag that grey's endlinks have not been opened - as I rechecked the box before posting all that. As for getting the endlinks from Progress, I believe it came in the "Progress Anti-Roll Bar Adapter Kit (Rear)-Civic 01+ (Without stock Anti-Roll Bar)" - the extra little thing I had to buy to actually be able to have a roll bar on my LX of 01

The dezod kit would cost us over $4000+ CAD
a K20A3 swap, at least $6-7000 CAD

No offense, but I think I would just sell my car and put the downpayments for an 06 SiR then boosting or swapping.

Hello again Anthony.. long time no post here

As for a fast 7thgen, I think we'll leave that to SUPERFLY - as I believe he'd be the quickest one of us here (though he's sticking to the n/a route, so probably not "the" quickest around (as you look to want to see a lot more)). I know you are into go yourself, so I can understand, but I'm not so I'd rather see a nicely done up car over speed..

In any event, as for organizing a meet - don't know if anyone is actually doing so, but I do know I'll probably go to a few (probably more out-of-towners than anything...) and would easily go to a meet organized here.

Just kidding.. Sounds like a super deal - I'll pass along the information to a buddy of mine (1.7 EL) that needs a good cleaning/polishing. Doubt he'd use the membership, but I'm sure something can be arranged. Though I might be talking to you about my own car, as I'll probably want to try to do it myself

Meets are gonna start happening early april, everybody's gonna want to show off their ride, whatever they did or bought over the winter, I know it's my case. Just hope it's all gonna be ready, won't have time to fit the Y8 intake manifold since it requires another fuel rail and injectors, then you get into serious tuning and pretty much need a fuel management system $$$... We're gonna raise fuel pressure with a return line and fool the ecu in thinking the a/f ratio is good with 2 o2 simulators. The stage 1 ACT is just ready to be installed, the flywheel gets back this week. By the way, our oem flywheels are 2 piece design, cannot be lightened, D16's works perfect. My custom exhaust is finished this week with high-flow cat and Magnaflow exhaust. When all that runs (next week) the head is coming off for p&p, resurfacing for higher compression and cam regrind, should be ready for april 9th, my birthday weekend, then a looong break-in for the clutch mostly, roughly 500 km., i'll take it easy for a week or so, play safe, and then it's off to the 1/4 mile.
