And the sound begin to appear in the 4000 RPM, so with an automatic its sometime difficult to have fun with it, unless you floor it, but then it's your exhaust tooo that you will hear...

I installed one on my friend's automatic Protege5. He don't have an exhaust so a experimented ear can see the slight difference on normal driving condition. When he floor it the sound is there in the 4000RPM range, but the car change car and it's gone... Maybe with a full CAI it can be better...

But he saw a huge improvment in the gaz consumption, I think he can do 50km more with a tank (if he don't floor it on every corner). I observed the same thing, if you don't foul around to make it growl and drive normally, you save on gaz.

But, as I said usually you don't see this... when you have an intake usually it's to make it growl!!!

Well, I could get a dash kit and perhaps some cf pillars... but those aren't the interior mods I was thinking of

Thanks for the feedback on the sound production of the SRI - basically I'd hear it probably every time I drive But in any event, yeah I don't really care to change the stock box, but at the same time I kinda do. Blah, got other priorities, besides it just got a fresh filter so it can wait a while again

It's in the biotech industry. I will be a Technology transfer specialist.

WTF is that? Basically, when a R&D company is doing research on a potential therapeutic protein then need to produce it in great qty to test in on patients before being accepted by the Health authorities (what algorythm pharma is doing... injecting drug to volunteer to see the counter effect, etc..).

When they want to produce large qty of that protein, small companies come see us and we produce it for them (we have the facility and equipment needed, what small company usually don't have). I will be involved in the transfer of their product (the way they produce it in small qty) in our facility. That mean that I need to optimize their process and up-scale it to obtain the qty they required....

Hope I made it clear...

However it's just a temporary contract, a maternity leave replacement... but they expect to need more people before the end of my contract, so I am not afraid!

welcome to the site!

Karumba (a member here) is selling black tyc... Better then chrome ...

Check www.montrealracing.com sometime there is some for sale or www.clubcivicquebec.com. Check the for sale items on this site also... and, there is always E-bay!

You may try Spark Motoring (a speed shop) usually they have good price on these type of item: www.sparkmotoring.com

Good luck!

Fixed your saying there Hans Congrats on getting into the company - all that matters really is getting your foot in the door

Oh, and I already let him know about my TYCs when they were for sale - also gave him some links of other TYCs for sale. But this coworker (Rajan) really wants chrome and didn't like the pricing/links I showed him

Everybody has their own taste... me, I don't like rear TYC/Altezza (well... on my car ), but that's me.

I love the look of projectors however!

Hey Pat,

Could you give me a price for:

2x Pollen filter (civic 2004 sedan). There is 2 to replace, so I don't know if they are sold by pair...

Could you also look for piece #2 (from a 2004-05 coupe):


1398264 002 1 MOLDING, FR. GRILLE NIGHTHAWK BLACK PEARL 15.97 11.98

Eternal blue pearl is best but I think that this color was not offered for coupe in 04-05. Black is also okay... I can manage to paint it if it's any other color...

I wanna do this with my upper grill, but I need this coupé part to make it look good!


I know it's a bit late, but if you can have that for tonight...

Perfect!

I don't think it will fit your car... at least not without some cuting, bending, plastic welding and glue!!! But we can check maybe it's flexible and can take the shape???

I PMed Steve to take is ProKit (hope is still have them...), but I am now looking for a rear camber kit... damn why it's so expensive??? It's about 250$...

Anyone has an used set for sale?

The Rear Camber Kit hunt is now open!!!
