Just pick up a used AEM V2 intake for really cheap. I need a new filter before installing it. The one that came with it seems to have been diped in tar!!!

I have a 3" at home almost new, but the V2 is 3.5"

It's my fifth intake this year... (OEM, AEM CAI, OEM modified, Cosmoracing SRI, now V2).

Yes, winter handling does suck Pat .. I seriously hate it. I want the comfort and control of summer back Maybe I should move.....

Fifth intake??!? I haven't even changed from the first Though everything else with the car pratically has.. oh well, to each their own right? Care to enlighten why you kept changing though?

Here is my story, please take your tissues...

OEM: Well, the car came like this!

AEM CAI: Loved it, but I am travelling a lot on Decary or Metropolitain. Every time it's raining, there is a flood... I was afraid to hydrolock. I though to buy a bypass valve, but decided to sell the CAI instead.

OEM modified: After the CAI, I just replaced the filter box, and removed the resonator. I put a piping going from the front of the car to the filter box... Well it looks like ****, not more sound, no noticeable gain but noticeable decrease!!!... so I put back all the OEM stuff!

CosmoRacing SRI: I was kind of missing the sound of the CAI intake when I pushed the car. So I decided to buy a cheap intake. There is not much gain to obtain from an intake on our D17 anyway... so I bought this low priced intake. It improoved the sound of the car, but not as the CAI did, so I was a little bit disappointed. The way it is designed it was hiting my strutbar (neuspeed), so it was also bugging me. The Temp sensor was too short, so I was not able to position the intake to stop hiting the bar. It is a good SRI for somebody without a neuspeed bar...

AEM V2: While surfing MTLracing, I saw this used V2 for fairly cheap. So I decided to take a chance and buy it. For now I am happy with it (and I am tire to test intake!!!). I feel some gain (placebo?), not a huge amount of max HP, but I guess I gain some troughout the RPM range. But I am not impressed by the sound it makes, it is quieter than the SRI but a little bit deeper.

So that's it... I have a CosmoRacing SRI for sale with a 1 month old AEM filter on it!

Hey now.. I have no complaints with my Teins but well numerous people on this board stated that the S-techs sag in the rear especially for sedans.

We'll see what plans I work out for the future of this car .. I'm still so undecided...

Your right and i'm one of them

Anyway, ill chech for something else next season, Adjustable height if possible to be sure to be able to drive my car low in summer but a little bit higher in winter... Well see how much it will cost me for those...

I got the Tein S-Tech's on my coupe............and i dont have any problems with sagging. (Nice and perky just the way i like'em!!)

Lucky you...

I'll probably sell them to some one who has a coupe...he'll probably be more lucky than me cuz on a seddan, it sucks

So what's your next option?

Personally, I was going to buy Steve's prokit for my car, but according to some people on this site, they will sag on a sedan... so I decided to postpone my drop for now. Maybe a Neuspeed kit, at least they have some springs specially designed for sedan

 
Rep Power: 0

Don't know, i don`t wan`t to put to much on it... 1k maybe... How much will you pay for your suspension? We could do a group buy to have a better price plus i could look with my many contacts...

Were can we find that steve's prokit and how much does it cost.
Neuspeed cost how much?

I'd like my drop to give me 2 fingers in my fenders... May be i wouldn't need a fully adjustable susension...Any way, we got 6 month to find the best thing.

 
Rep Power: 294

He was referring to Steve's prokit as in the Eibach Prokit that steve_civic03 had(/?has?) for sale.

 
Rep Power: 0

That's it! It's still a good option for sedan, some people enjoy it on their sedan. PM him if you are interested, he is selling them at a good price, fairly new!

Me I decided to wait that my OEM suspension blow up before changing it... It easier like this to have the wife's approval...

Well, I already did some kind of drifting last week on Highway 116 to avoid a guy changing line without looking I guess my swaybars did a good work cause I was able to realign the car on the road without too much trouble! I was sliding at almost 45degree at 80km/hr... I was also happy of the handling of my winter tire (Pirelli winter carving).

BTW: you are getting more and more active on this site... you are almost at 10 posts! Lache pas sti!

Anyone here, intrugued by the 8th gen?

 
Rep Power: 0

Maybe a stolen car??? There is a lot of parts around the car on the picture, so it's maybe a crap yard... maybe a fire inside the car?

BTW, the team on Monchar is dead man, forget it. We should create a french thread on this site instead, and chat in french with those interested. What do you think???

Nindoo, why this question???? Is there something special about it that we don't know??? A lot of people are changing for it....

 
Rep Power: 294

Those parts for sale on Lespac are from Revolution scrapyard in St-Jerome (which is basically a north shore equivalent of Chassel)

The team on monchar was ever alive?

I pay a visit once in while...

But, even here it's pretty quiet.

So Karim, How is your Headlight/taillight sale going?

Why are you leaving the toasted taillight look? Problem with some cops? I was thinking to slightly smoke (2 tints lighter than you!!!) a pair of taillight... I like the way some old VW Jetta and Golf's taillights look, just a bit darker than OEM.

I saw some black altezzas for sale on MR.com, that can be perfect for that... what about your red altezza? Are they fixed or not? if not, can they be easily fixed?

Thats because of the 8th gen...

Well, I hope that a lot of people will sell their 7thgen and part-out their car then! That way there will be a lot of used part on the market for cheap!

I watched "Le Guide de l'Auto" this week-end and they were talking about the new civic. They said that this generation will interest more young people than the 7thgen. They added that the 7thgen was designed for the "Papi" (grand-pa) of 60 and over...

I guess that the new 2006 will have a lot of problem to fix as the 2001 had... the 2007 will be better.

 
Rep Power: 0

That would be so cool! Next summer gona be a good one for us, tons of used parts for really good price We'll do more with less!

I saw it to... Papi stock maybe... but give it a better suspension and some strut.... Only then it's a fun car to drive!

Don't know but i've tried the new 8th gen and our 7th gen is way more fun to drive... The 8th gen as more power stock but is more a boat than our model...

2k6 will be a good year for the 7th gen

Sale ... ah yeah .. sale ... umm, I guess if I actually got off my lazy ___ and took other pictures a sale might go through on the heads. The rears, well I got offered for the blacked outs, but don't exactly want to let go but at the same time probably should. Yes, I got a nice $151 ticket for them - damn cop decided to give me a 2 for 1 on a ticket. I rolled a stop-sign stupidly and well pulled over right away... but yeah, she ticketed me two-fold

Though the blacked out tails aren't even the greatest in the winter - as they get salted over which only helps to light them up

Basically you want to do a moreso tint like Jamie has on his coupe.. which looks probably better anyways

My reds are fixed as can be.. I siliconed the chip back. Currently riding around with them. The damage is noticeable regardless, but well its from the top (just near the edge of my spoiler - driver side) .. probably should take another photo of that as well it was asked about to.. but yeah, thats like getting me off my lazy behind.. kinda like I should be updating that thread as well as adding in the HP H26 header/downpipe that is sitting idle too. Eventually I guess..

You are selling your header? Did you put back the OEM manifold? why?

Problem with cops again??? (no cat = a ticket of 300$ or more!).
