Finally!

After a year of seeing many of our members come and go, always thinking when the hell am I going to at least show my fellow forum members my ride; my car has been finished. Well, a year later, and my first thread ever except for forsale ones which don't count, I bring to you my fellow forum members my car. I'd like to thank big names such as Hondaluver for inspiration and Gearbox for being a TRUE DIEHARD 7thgen civic owner. Without further adue or however the hell that's spelled, my car:




My TYC retrofitted with 04 AUDI RS6 Bi-Xenons





No space in that little cramped *** civic engine bay, so battery went in the trunk.


Still need to finish off the little odds and ends which are obvious from the pics.

Also another thing, while everyone throughout the year my car was mia was able to throw a little rice into the mix, I wasn't able to experience that. So, I don't give a **** what anyone says about my ricey hood, or my soon to be installed vertical doors they're going on and staying on.

Yep. I have the 03 gauges with the nice red lighted back, and thanks to all round good guy Gearbox I have the wiring diagram, but I'm just to damn lazy to even work on this thing any longer. I picked it up from www.hybrid-racing.com on Saturday in Louisiana, drove home 11 hrs, and stayed up till 4 in the morning cutting the bumper support bar and putting the body parts back on to at least make it to 1 day of Tuner Bash at South Padre Island, TX. I was so f'n out of it, I forgot to take pics of the car assembled with the black oem body kit and spoiler. Either way, I lost my tein keys to adjust the coilovers, so the car looked stock height, and I know automatically what everones first reaction would've been. It needs to be dropped.

I have a firend with the same setup who was tuned by Jason "stoopid" at Autologic in Houston, TX who made 467 hp on 12.8 lbs. of boost, so I'm hoping to make the same. I'll be working on it little by little throughout the week, like installing the Gredyy Profec E-01 that my carnal Michalo187 hooked it up with. I like the LCD of the E-01 so no one will know the b*tch is boosted.

I appreciate the comments peeps, I've been dying to show you guys what my 26g in only parts and labor looked like.

Thanks mane. I was dissapointed about the discolaration around the projectors, but what can I expect from only having but a few days to retrofit them. Oh, well Bi-Xenon HID's in TYC's makes me happy no matter.

I won't know until I take it to get tuned. I'm hoping to pull around the same as my friend, just that I'm gonna have to use more boost because he has a full race turbo setup and I have a cheap *** revhard stage 2.

$900 for the Gude p&p job on the head and turbo cams regrind
$1000 for K-Pro
$500 for auto to manual
$1000 for labor

and the rest of the 26g is on suspension, interior, misc engine pieces and exterior. Not to mention wheels and brake setup that I pent money on needlessly because of a 5 lug conversion.

Dude that's sweet!
Boosted K20 and a a/t to m/t conversion.

A lot of time and money, but it's all gravy.
