No, Baller baby, a little scraping is a good thing, but, scraped where you drop your tranny and everything else isn't!

Erik-What up lobster boy? So, any brain cells left after the alcohol and sun ate them? LOL! Super duper that you enjoyed the hell out of yourself!

Baller-If you are really, really careful, you can't go really, really fast! Well, on flat non-turning surfaces you can, so go as low as you want baby! I just hate doing the creeping up to the speed bumpers mm by mm when you are so low.

Oh and you didn't get a recent pic of the group, b/c I'm not in one yet.. I don't think.

Array: what time do you expect to leave tomorrow to get to the airport?

Pharoh: so we're still a go for the light switch?? I'll pick up the hyper whites this week, if you wanna help me pop my bumper off this Friday?

well until the pictures arrive, and I can get a gallery up and running, I'll have to give you the verbal description

2k1 DX coupe

satin silver

OEM rear spoiler (well not really OEM, Pharoh pointed out to me that it's not genuine Honda, looks the same as one though..... oh well like I told him, I didn't pay for it they threw it on for free)

AEM SRI

DIY throttle cable (thanks Rob

30% Quantum window tint

APC rear altezza's

Blue Honda emblem on rear

Pioneer deck (nothing much but it'll do until I upgrade)

Rear pioneer 6x9's (again same as above)

unfortunately, I still have hubcaps *shiver* but unless I can find $2000 lying on the ground, they will have to do.... same with the upgrade on the sound system.

I do however wish to get an alarm before the snow hits, but I need to keep into consideration that I have my 50,000 km service in November and that's gonna jit me for $300 and I need to purchase steelies for my winter tires. thats another 300 bones. Most of the big things I will do when I get out of Home Depot, but the small things like cleared headlights... which should be happening this Friday or sooner and other minor things will have to wait until I get a better job.

but as for me you sure you can handle a picture of moi? HAHAHAH!!!!

Erik-Thank you soo much for the 411 on your vic! Really appreciate that Now, will I be so frightened that I go blind when I see your pic or are you hot as hell and will set me a blaze? I'm pretty sure I scared you guys with my pics, right? So, don't worry if you happen to fall into the first category of my first question

This is one that one of our AZ members did, I told him not to use it unless we took off the BBQ part because we could have mass peeps show and not know about it and not have enough food for them and that would suck.

Baller: You don't want to drop it to the lowest possible setting. the strut isn't designed to operate at 100% efficiency when it's that low.

but...the car is dropped enough for my liking

I haven't gotten it on flat pavement yet to see what the drop looks like all around, but I made sure that the drivers side was higher when I WASN'T in the car, so that when I'm IN the car, it's almost perfectly balanced.

that's the idea, at least.

but holy shiznit...the ride is AMAZING! it really made me realize how trashy the tires are fek.

gotta get some next season.

Player: Sounds good, but I was thinking.... most of us if not all of us got onboard through this web page. That would mean that whoever comes to this site comes to get info on tuning their ride. If we were to go around to all the civics that we saw, we'd be putting flyers on old people cars and stuff. not everyone that has a 7th gen civic (or any year civic for that matter) is into tuning cars. I say we should just leave it to people checking out this site. and I say that the best way for people to do that would be a little "free" advertising for 7thgencivic.com. Like I was saying a few weeks ago, we can just purchace some stickers on here that say the web page name, and if people notice us... and I KNOW they do, then they can check out the page and hopefully we'll be able to get more peeps in da club!

just a thought

Tek: yeah well I gotta get, rims, rubber, springs, want me to go on?

D. this flyer is only to be put on windshiels of civics that have some kinda modification, so when u see a civic with alteezas, or chrome rims, just stick one of these on there windshield, dont put them on stock civics, as u said, u dont know who is driving it.

tek-that is the obvious though, isn't? They won't perform properly if they are all the way low? Well, I guess not every peep knows this and it was a very good point.

Erik-I agree with Abe, you just know what cars to put them on by looking at the cars.

yeah, super slammed = no performance.

so i raised it a bit off the bottom. it has a nice low look, but isn't ghetto-slammed.

and it performs like your grandma at a bakeoff! woot woot! hehehe

player: good idea with the flyers...i think i might start handing them out, cuz i see a lot of 7thgens around.

Spoke to Derek and he tells me that he can make windsheild stickers like my Pearl stick on my windsheild. He hasn't made any yet but will if I want one for $17 US.
I don't know if I mentioned it but I can get 12 sets of stickers (the regular ones) for 48 US incl shipping.

i'm sure pharoh means they'll say whatever we want?

either way, $17USD for the banner sticker is pretty sweet, i'd be up for it!

so are we officially "Team Capital 7's"?

ok here is an idea, i say we officially become team capital 7's, and we ask derek to add an icon that say team capital 7's on the home page, which links to this forum directly, so that when people see our banners with 7thgencivic.com on them, and come to te home page, they can find us easilly

Hmmmm. I haven't been on in a few days....but there hasn'e been all that much to read!!! Let's go people...keep up the post whoring!!!!

D.N.A. : Sorry I wasn't online to answer your question about picking up Baller. I was @ the airport yesterday. I'll let Baller update you all about his airport "adventure". Either way...I believe Baller will be out Friday.

We need a name like Tek was talking about earlier(weeks ago) ....Something catchy with not necessarily any mention of '7' , 'Ottawa' , 'Capital' or 'Civic' .

I think my idea was "Kaotic Obsessionz"

it's cheezy and means nothing, but sounds catchy. I think a name with this in mind is something that could do us good.

I agree with Array.

I'm not saying that we have to use my idea, I'm just suggesting the criteria

Oh yeah, and I won't be able to make it out this weekend

it's the uncles 50th bday bash...so I'm gonna be a little tied up

but...I'll see if I can scoot out to meet you guys somewhere afterwards (denny's as usual?). not sure if I'll be able to, but I got Pharoh's digits, so I should be able to find you guys.

sucks that I can't make it out this weekend

it'd be sweet to show off my new shiznit!

oh, and today I went to deals 4 wheels to get an alignment done. NO DICE! they couldn't get my car up onto the machine because it was too low, and my lip would have been torn off.

I have an appointment at frisby on thursday to get an alignment done...hopefully they'll be able to fix me up!

if so...IT'S TRACK TIME! hehehe
