I wish a k20 would just find its way into my car too. I like spoilers on our cars but only the factory ones, they're just right and in perfect balance with the rest of the car. If you put that wing on, like everybody else said, you'd have to buy a body and/or lip kit to compensate for the size of that wing...other wise it would be like a face with a really big nose on it. The wing shouldn't steal the show, your motor should. Great job though, keep up the good work!

I'd loose the sticker, but that's just me.

I'm not going for a sleeper ride ... I'm not going for a certain "look" ... I'm nearly pure performance. Since I have an oem dc5-r muffler on there, nobody would think that I have any real mods done to my car ... which is rather aggravating when I want to mess around with them. I have to advertise in one way or another ... and my exhaust note isn't the thing to do it for me.
Also, there really aren't any thieves around where I live, so I am really not worried about it. There are plenty of higher end cars here that are worth many times of what a civic is worth.

Rep Power: 362 more pics of my center console as promised:
as you can see, the FITMENT is perfect ... but it is too short by about an inch when it comes up to the lower dash portion thing.
Oh yeah and my center console never came with the e-brake piece ...

You're car is very nice, and congradulations on the engine swap, but..
what is with leaving connectors unplugged, and just hanging there?
and
Why just electrical tape your battery wire, when you did the relocation??
Nice car though!

just kidding, whitevic....have you looked under your hood lately? TONS of plugs for sensor exposed, if it was a bare wire of course then i'd agree. and the battery wire? maybe he's just covering up a sensor plug

if you really would have looked thoroughly, you would have noticed that I don't have any radiator fans, nor a/c components either ... which is the cause for disconnected sensors heh.
I electrical taped my battery wire because originally, the battery was mounted on the subframe below, but needed to be moved in order to have room for a cai. Instead of Josh re-doing the wire, he just sorta ghetto connected them.
as far as that paint smudge goes, a few years ago, I tried to paint it rather than buying an overlay ... that little part turned out to be pretty shitty, so I decided to screw it and be over it.

snk.

sometimes I come off too harshly, but I don't mean it.
what a piece of junk i cant believe you drive that thing in its condition, i wouldnt make it past the end of my street with my car looking like that!!! j/p i cant wait to have my headwork done so we can go destroy the track. i have the cam springs/retainers and cam gear om order now through my buddy. i am still waiting on the gsr manifold i ordered as well that thing is going to need some work before i throw it on to make it fit. then my last thing i need is the AEM EMS and some tuning. i am hoping to meet my original goal of the end of january to finish it up.
then maybe ill pop a bottle in and we can run. i know i wont have a chance without the bottle
i know a guy right now that has a complete kit with a bottle heater and guages for $300 so i might pick that up

In Los Angeles, well, some dumb$hit would see the sticker and either steal or mess up such a nice ride. It sucks that around here you can't own anything nice unless you have a shotgun nearby.
My last true hotrod was a total sleeper, JUST so I could sleep at night. People suck.

I actually live in a pretty high-class side of Orange County ... so thieves here are nearly non-existant. On a typical sunny Sunday afternoon, you will see many, many exotic cars just driving around. About 2 months ago on a Sunday, during a 1 hour drive up the coast, I saw a Carrera GT, McLaren SLR, 4 Lambo Murcielagos, a couple Ferraris, and an Aston Martin.
I don't think people here care much to go around stealing civics.
