Thats ridiculous, please don't tell me he actually got off with that "my girl was driving" bullshit. I really hope he gets his man! But this is why we created insurance.

Someone missed me I was only gone for 3 days lol!

SpeedDownZone

I have been so busy with work and not money to show for it.lol Damn taxes.

Any way iam drinking a beer and watching spongebob. Alright I got 2,5k for this little accident. They also wanted to use recycled stuff and non oem parts. So with that said the packages have started to come in.

First i got the 08-10 tail lights they are just darker than the earlier ones.
iam going to remove that euro badge since iam already tired of it.



These are going to replace my carpets since the get so dirty.


Mmmm glossy

and this


^^^ Ok well see.

iam getting a set of new tires tomorrow and man tire are expensive these days. Also bought paint and wanted to try something that i though was original until i started searching and found some cars with the same paint job.


I will try it and see how i feel about it in person.

VTEC-4.0

^ Yeah a lot of GTI's have that black white paintjob.It looks good to me though

I was going to start the paint project sometime this week but its going to rain the entire week. And if going to be sunny in 8 days, man. Anyway I got some tires today.





Dont know when to install this cuz i want to feel the difference on dry roads not wet.

Oh and in a month or so iam going to get these. Concave FTW.




On some vws.



and on a ferrari.


What do you guys think of those rims. There going to be summer tires only tho.

MindBomber

I really like those wheels, I'm a sucker for bbs rs or the esm replicas on a VW but those are a little more unique and sporty.

VTEC-4.0

That white Volkswagen is nice.The rims are sick too

those are perfect 'vw' rims

SpeedDownZone

Yea I though so, there hot

I really dont like bbs rs rims tho. They do look good its just that every one has them. Just like those enkie or rota with the 5 spoke that civics use there nice but would not buy them. Because of this i dont like bags and i would ride on racing suspension any day of the week over them which is what i will be getting when i get these racing coils.

Anyway I went to the shop to install the tires and man i cant feel anything on the road. It feels like a brand new car. It feels like a plane cabin now.

Oh and I also installed the intake and i hated it at first. So much noise under acceleration and then a big blow off. But i started to get use to it and learned how to control the blow off so it wont sound so loud. That way ricers wont want to race me with there ebay turbos.

HELLO THERE

Man long time did not have time to log in and say hi. I finally moved to the outskirts of the city and have a garage now so no more drunken dudes hitting my car when its parked.

Any way a little project going on going to wrap my headliner in black suede tonight to i will post picks and a diy at the same time.

first off getting the headliner out of the car i a bitch.


here is the headliner out off the car(duh) and ready for work.


Headliner striped


new fabric ready for cut.

a closer look at the headliner fabric.

SpeedDownZone

now what i did was divide the liner into sections so i can work my way to the edges.

SpeedDownZone

this is the stuff i am going to use

SpeedDownZone

Well its getting there but iam tired so will finish tomorrow plus i need a new can of glue.

SpeedDownZone

All done

MindBomber

that looks awesome, I've been wanting to wrap my head liner with something nicer for a long time but never get around to it.

What do drunk drivers get if there convicted? Here where I live (New Brunswick, Canada) you automaticly get jail time, not sure how much but I hear its at least 30 days.

in the usa usually you can go home the same night or the next day and pay a fine i think around $1k max. you dont really get in trouble here with higher fines and jail time unless its your 3rd DUI or something.

SpeedDownZone

Yea I really liked how it came out. I took my time with it sort of like a hobby when I had time to work on it. Maybe next time I will try to wrap it with some marvel super heros or something like that. Plus it was about $80 in all. But I still need to wrap my pillars tho.

Well this guy got a pat on the back, but the guy who hit my civic was in the court systems. Don't know what happened to him but I hope they weren't as nice with him.

Here's the thing I wanted those wheels in 19s and to be "hella flush", cuz in that size I was probably never going to auto x or any type of sport with it but I was told that they won't fit. So they do fit in 18s but I don't know if I should get racing coilovers or just regular ones since 18 are still small enough I think to do some track racing since I prefer that over auto x. So I am having trouble deciding where to go.with this.

And here are some quick pics. Let me know what you guy think of the paint job. Don't hold back if you don't like it. Cuz I kind of have mixed emotions about it.





Oh yea snow sux. Plus day #2 without electricity.

SpeedDownZone

I have a question, I bought some coilovers and want to know is it better or necessary to change the strut bearing and strut mount? Car now has 32k miles.
