Hmmm... he already has an 05 LX. With 12.1:1 compression? I don't think so[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] Unless something happened that I'm not aware of, we don't need plug wires, and Spoon ain't gonna touch the D17.

Rep Power: 0 who knows, maybe he is from Hong Kong and he has the japanese parts. As for the rest of the world, it amazing how salesmen can get you to buy things, but I do not think that is the case here.

Rep Power: 0 the gentleman is sayin he is from hk and hes now in cali usa.what he refered to as splitfire wires to translate the fire is very simple ,a crack pipe can do it more effieciently,as for the big sway bar he claimed he had,i think he means the tire iron ,he been after a civic for a while and it took him 5 long yrs and thats the yr of this particular model .
i need to mention about the fact the compression ratio he refered to is not about theone inside the combustion chamber in his engine,he actually think he was fylin,see that wing on his ride?

Anyways, I don't have a say for what's on his car as I never really asked him.

Rep Power: 0 i dont care whether this kid is local or not, or if i had the chance to see it or not, because no matter what... my point is that his parts list is nothing but BS... theres no way that much engine work can have been done to that car using the parts that he listed. just not real... sorry, some of those parts dont exist for our car unless you completely redesign our engine internals... meaning that you bore it out to no end, using existing parts available for other applications.
