i payed 75 pick up( you will never get a deal again like that..not even on EBAY). It wasnt even that clean thou when i bought it from him but I ran into him on DSMtrader.com
he had just rebuilt his eclipse engine and needed money
him and his boyz were pretty coo people

I got mine from Ptuning.com for $350 shipped with the site discount. Link to product

If you find it cheaper, Ptuning will probably match the price or something. Either way, I've dealt with them for my Injen intake, ACT clutch, 2 Autometer gauges, and the Autometer triple gauge pillar. They are very good and very fast.


Edit: guess I can't link the product. Just go to Ptuning and click on transmission, click the link for Honda Civic, it's the last one on the second page.
PTuning p/n: PTHC5-HDSS
ACT p/n: HC5-HDSS

Hey Marcus, quick question, comment, and answer for you...

1) What are you doing about your MAP sensor?

2) I just got my BOV, Turbo Timer, and gauge pod yesterday...

3) I ran across a guy here in MD looking to sell an R33 kit for a good price... its fiberglass. I was gonna buy it, but my money is tied up in this turbo right now. His user name is stmcivic...

good looking peoples. I really appreciate it.

i think i;ll get the clutch after the install. I wonder how much someone will give my for my header and downpipe and intake( bypass vavle)

i was told it would be a problemsince i'm upgrading the injectors and using a piggyback fuel system( SAFC). He said he under control so i'm taking his word on it. If he bails out on my then i'm just taking it to VA BEACh Auto Solutions. Those are the original people i was going to take it to and they have installed a turbo onte 7thgen..Got to ride itn it

Congrats on the package deliveries. Always feels good when you get a step closer

ima hit the guy up abouthte kit. Since it's fiberglass im not looking to pay too much for it.

new pic..

everyone is going turbo crazy especially with the stuff being posted about SF fabrications. It's nice to finally see some stuff being done. I guess it reallly just take time just like with any other older model civic. the same thing is gonna happen whenthenew civics come out.
