This is our first civic.
We were not naive of the fact that there would be those who were not interested in this type of car. Sure there is some “rice” about this car and there are “drag” features about this car. Our intention is to win shows in a fast - drivable car – yet with something different from other cars. We have done that and of course people aren’t going to like all of it. However, it does get noticed…and it is quality.
If someone was interested in a 69 Camaro we would give them exactly what they wanted, and no one on this site would be interested. We like the fact that we are well rounded and able to produce top quality.
Will your company have a booth or just checking out the festivities? Website?

Paint it flat black. Give it that stealth look
BTW are you guys keeping hydraulic P/S or are you going with the EPS from the EP3 chassis?

Changing the whole frame structure comapred to tinted windows is a whole different story cuz when you look at it whats better than changing the stock frame structure than stock itself?? I hope you guys seriously know what you are doing just letting you know and im not hating....If you are going to change the whole front structure I recommend you change the whole chasis or something I dunno...... I guess we will have to wait and see........

lowering a car, tinting windows, shaving door handles, and changing tire size is illegal in most states.

Maybe I missed it but what front end is going on there?
My I suggest the MR evo front end.
It will have to be done custom like the ride now.
But here is a photo shop that DIGIMODS did of that front end and I think it would be hot
Either make a fiberglass one or cut to fit and use a plastics welder like this: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=41592

It is a street car because it will drive on the street. Most cops wont even notice the tube fron end, or the nitrous, or the fact that its ***** are in the dirt, and that is pretty obvious.

ok you guys quit tearing this guy apart. the car is a work in progress and he is keeping his composure very well for the grief he is being given. the car is obviously not complete and people are already telling him things arent right. the deal is " Its NOT Done" let him finish his work, then you can say stuff about safety. unless it is an obvious mistake that he is totally missing with the experience and cars i ahve seen from them, i think this one will turn out nicely.
oh yeah and if my memory serves me correctly youll see Rob(spoonem) at the Curry Enterprises booth

we need to talk about getting set up w/d. i am a distributor for diesel parts. we currently have the largest add in Diesel Power Magazine. Hopefully sooner than later ill be getting a new truck. I just cant deny the power and trq that the new diesels are putting out. Hell with a 04.5+ dodge cummins its easy to put down 700+hp and over 1000ftlbs. can you say 12 sec 9000lb truck!! LOL I want to build one that will run 11's though. just going to be a minute before i can afford the truck. I can have the company do write ups in mag's to get the parts for free.....

wow, this makes for some good entertainment....
bottom line is, the car is unfinished and from what i see it looks like you guys have quite the plan. i would still get rid of the roof scoop though, they just don't do it for me, but to each his own. and flat black ownz

for all the work you've put into it, looks unique. Couple things that aren't to my tastes but its your project and I'll criticize after its finished .

Bottom line is people like them keep the ideas flowing and are the innovators of progression. Without people like them trying to make stuff happen for the neglected 7thgen, we would have nothing to aspire too.

I've got an idea. Let's stop pissing and moaning and see what the car looks like, and dynos like when he's done with it.
Its the most unique, and built 7th gen I've seen in a while. Whether everyone else thinks so or has proof that it isn't, so what. The guy is doing some serious work, stands by what he and his people are doing, and has a passion about cars. Three things most of here all have in common, which is why we keep coming back to these forums and talking about what we're doing.
No one I work with understands the glee I feel when a new box of parts arrives in the mail. Folks here (or any gearhead forum) do, and that's why these things exist.
Quit the pissing contests. My Dad can beat up ALL of your dads combined and he builds nine second track cars with Legos and toothpicks. Don't you feel bad about yourself now that I've shown how much cooler I am than you? Didn't think so. Let's please cut the crap already. /webdaddy

I might have to check it out...if I paint my car I want the shop to give me a deal and a half in return of me spreading the word about them since im at quite a few local events. Noone seems to be willing to do that though, especialy for the price I want
