haha. I guess I do. I really miss the oil leaking under my feet. And my hacked up bumper. And my exhaust cut up and welded together about 15-20 times. And the glue on my dash. And the stained seats/floors. And the solder on my plastic pieces, and the burns, cuts, etc.
and lets not forget my IDLE! haha.
Yeah, I miss my civic. i hate this new car that hauls ***, is clean, sporty, luxurious, nicer wheels, etc, etc, etc.

Gained 60 ft/lb and about 25whp. I am at 19psi (as oppiosed to 13.5). I have a much much nicer power curve, and the car accelerates so much smoother now. Holds boost to redline as well.
I have a Crucial Catless Shorty DP, AEM intake, custom dyno tune, and boost gauge. Time to find some STi's.
I have 230 ft/lb and 200whp.
I have about 330cranktq, and around 300 crank hp.

Picking up k20a injectors from Locash tomorrow. Recieved turbo kit today but still missing intercooler and downpipe! All's left, FMU.
Got the injectors and intercooler. I think I'm going to be getting some 16's soon now that I got some tax return money to play around with.

Gonna try and figure out how to fix my tranny issue.
It works just fine, other than there is too much power for the auto to shift in time. Sooooo, Im not too sure the route Im going on this right now. I would like my shift point lowered, but with ECUTeK (my engine management), there is no way to do this. It adjusts every other freakin control of the car, BUT that. Its much better than like a EManage and ****. (not calling it ****, I mean others)
It can raise the redline though. the only problem with that, I think theres a good chance that the tranny will want to go for the extra 1-200 I raise it, before it will shift. So it may be pointless, other than helping to damage my engine. If it will shift at the same point as now, I will do that, just to give it a little extra time to finish the shift.
What happens right now, is when I step on it from a roll in D (not sport shift, I shift in time fine myself), and it downshifts to high rpms, it has too much power to shift in time, causing it to go out of the gear, bounce off redline before it goes into the next (and it shifts very fast in my car), and bog to 4000 rpms. It sucks. I raced a turbo lexus like 5 times the other day, than we stopped at a light, we both said damn, nice car to each other. Than took off, 1st pulled very nice, than it did the redline bounce crap. It sucks. He was nice enough to stop and make sure all was good though. Like i would ALWAYS do if I was racing and somebody crap blew up.
I also got my wheel bearing replaced today, since it was busted. But I still have FULL WARRANTY, and they replaced it free. Getting new rotors to match my BBK in abuot 2 weeks, along with new pads to install on all 4 calipers.

K20a injectors are the same cc as a k20a2 or 3. Yes, they fit. They are longer injectors than the ones our cars come with so to fix the problem I get spacers and longer bolts,piece-o-cake
Got it about 2 weeks ago.I'm sorry Eric I still love you!
oh yeah, keep your car dork, you just put all that money into it. keep it!
If you do part it out, sell me the ep3 rear disc conversion.

Gonna sell my intake, and get another tune. Probably gain some more power as well. Id guess another few whp & ft/lb.
Getting a lower temp t-stat, and some new radiator hoses next. Gonna help the cooling a little bit for the summer. Car still runs strong as hell compared to my vic in the temp increase. Im sure 115 will feel different. The intake raises EGT's, so Im ready to take that off now. The tune said it was perfect, but I still feel uncomfortable. My friends STi was tuned before/after an intake. Short ram, but still his EGTs raised noticeably. So Im gonna hope it makes the car a little stronger/more reliable with it off. DynoComp is saying that CAI's are fine though, and SRI are bad. Thats what most everybody says, but Im stuck on what to do. I could always use the money.
