Rant!
Rant mother****er.
that's all I have to say. Apparently there is another EM2 owner lurking the boards with a K20A in their car ... AND their car is Titanium Metallic!! wtf!
It's rare enough that someone else has an 01-02 Titanium Metallic Civic ... even rarer that it is an EX ... even rarer that they mod it for performance and wtf? they have a K20A too? Not only that, they are ahead of me in performance.
ugh. I'm gonna sell my car.
chase, you're okay cuz you're local.

Its probably becuase I have completely different tastes, but I really dont like the exterior on that TiMex. The bronze rims kinda fight the metallic paint, not feeling the style of c/f hood, and I am surprised that I dont like the c/f trunk on the color since I have wanted one for a while. Its almost like it needs something to pull it all together.
BTW, thanks Derek.

^ yeah ... I might get a new intake manifold ... my one is just shitty.
well ... couple things I'd like to point out ...
- his hood looks like it's VIS. mine is lighter
- I have a lighter battery
- my wheels look/perform better (imo)
- my tires perform better
- injen cai > injen sri
- I don't have drivetrain loss due to power steering
- megan coilovers are stiffer than his tein basics
- I have a fluidyne radiator .. not a stock one
- DC race header > Jackson Race Header
- I'm a sleeper... (and trunk will be painted by next week)
- my swap is cleaner (check out his throttle cable!), he has incorrect grounding points, etc.

hmm ... custom carbon fiber center console ... I wonder what that looks like.
port and polish doesn't do anything for the K20's ... the heads already flow really, really well...according to hondata.
He does have better cams and throttle body than I do though... and Kpro.
DC race header has been proven to make more power than the Jackson header (for n/a). I also have a bunch of mods better than his ... i/h/e
I'm just jealous
