I beg to differ about not having a/c. I'm dying without it ... and I don't even live in LA.

I want to have Church's dyno it before I add the CAI and DCRH cuz I want a baseline. After I have a baseline I will have the parts installed, have Church's tune it and then dyno it.

looking good. i've heard low rpm knock is common under 2.5 or 2k rpms, esp. if you're using an untuned base program. shift at 5k everytime and drive fast, you'll have nooo problems.

the latest k-pro software allows you to tune for EACH GEAR, which is awesome. part of the problem people had was awesome tuned low gears, but if you floored it in 6th you got ridiculous knock. not any more. plus it's great for boosted cars too. make sure you have it!

I got an appointment with Church's Dyno on September 2nd. Sean Church told me that he will "clean up" the base cal and then dyno my car so that I have a baseline. After this I am gonna get the AEM CAI and DCRH, then go back to Church's and have it retuned and dyno'd.

If yall dont stop fighting I swear ill get nekkid and take pics of me in my Gf's underwear.... and post them in this thread....!!!!


The car is just plain sick and I give it an 11 for originality...

Think about this.
You go to some meet and there are RSX's there they pop their hood and everyone is like OK RSX type S has the K20a2..

But then the vic **** along and everyone is like whatever a d17 and then you pop the HOOD and all you hear is the God damn spit from their mouths hitting the pavement and the WTF!!!!!'s

Yeah a K20a2 in a god damn Civic and an 04-05 ..That right there deserves mad props even if you have 50 grand in it..

Especially when some little bitch thinks he is taking on a D17 and gets his *** stomped....

Enough Said

Spending 50k on a civic is not dumb, it is probably a hell of a ride. Some people think spending 50k on transportation is crazy. Some people think that civics are "dumb". If he is happy then what is the problem?
