My Ride's Thread + A Few Questions
Here's what I got so far in case you can't read my sig 
-2002 Silver Civic EX Coupe 5 speed (base RSX shifter ****)
-eBay SRI pipe w/ AEM filter
-DIY throttle body coolant bypass
-Eibach Sportline springs lowered 2.5"
-Neuspeed X-STB
-DIY clear headlight corners
-DIY tinted Altezza tails
A few SET future mods to my car. Please no flaming. Everything in here is opinion which is what I'm looking for (not necessarily in this order):
-Tenzo R Rallye-2 racing seats
-Neon interior accent lighting
-OEM rear spoiler
-OEM CF hood
-Alloy rims wrapped in BF Goodrich Traction T/A's
-Projection headlights
-Neuspeed or B&M short shifter
-Complete K20A2 swap (way down the road)
Here are a few questions I got for other mods I want:
I'm running a 2.5" drop on Eibach Sportlines and I need to get some struts before I shatter my tail bone cause I went over some train tracks
Alot of people seem to like the Koni Yellows and the Tokiko D-Specs (if affordable) but I also see alot of people with KYB AGX's as well. What's a good one for my sitiation? What entails replacing the struts? Assume I know how to break it down and put it together no problem, will I need an alignment after?
Whenever I look under my hood I wince everytime I see the black spark plug wire covers. I want to do the painting, but I want to stick with my color themes which are silver w/ blue accents. Should I paint the letters silver and the rest blue or vice-versa? Are there any other under-hood dressups that I could do myself or that could be done for meager amount?
Is there a way to "heat treat" a CAI pipe so that it's got that fire-ish look to it? If not, is it possible to paint it?
I should probably go with an OEM Honda clutch since I have a pretty much stock motor, right?
I'd like some nice black or graphite 17"ers but now I find out that there are so many factors on weight, material, and wheel studs. What's a good weight, material, and size to fit our stock studs?
So what do you guys think? Am I off to a good start and thinkin right?
Thanks for your help,
Vinnie

Rep Power: 0 I wouldn't trade my civic for anything (except maybe a 3000GT with a good motor XP). I'm not looking for a drag car or anything... I just want to not be embarrassed when trying to pass people on the highway. Other than that I love the whole style of the interior and exterior style of my coupe.

Rep Power: 0 Well I just met redspeed03 tonight and we took a small drive up to the Streets of Woodfield (small strip mall area for a larger mall for those who don't live in IL) for a few pics and see if any action was brewing from the weather. Nuttin but bikers and a few STi's really. But I'm still waiting for an answer on ANY of those questions...
