[bmx269]

Just for humour sake, I am posting the mini stages of my car from new to today. Here are the pictures from each stage. LOL

My old car. 98 Civic DX, my old car used to be more of a stereo car, hitting 146.8db with 2 12" subs.

First Day, tinted, and removed iVTEC

Got the stupid idea to put graphics on my EP.

Thought they might look better with my old wheels. Yet I still did not like them.
http://www.digitalgumball.com/changes/5.jpg


Took the graphics off, and liked it a lot better, just getting ready to lower it at PaXie's place.

Lowered and loving it.

From here a million an one changes took place, I got the Type R wing, engine swap, and more. Now I am saving for crazy suspension and forged wheels. With any luck my car will look damn sweet this time next year. :) Thanks for all people that have helped influence my changes and growth as a car tuner.

Seriously? This was done by AJ Racing. Looks really clean to me.

How is it the wires are not need and tidy? They are all strapped and flow nicely around the engine bay. Please explain your complaint. Thanks

Thanks for all the other comments, so far no one has commented on my car's evolution process. :eek:

[ULTRAMANIA]

great ride man.. it must be great having an A2 in your engine bay.. keep it up...

[03EP3SiHB]

Looks good to me, I prefer a different set of wheels like the Buddy Club P1 Racing QF's but overall a clean ass car.

[CIVICBOOST]

I want a A2 swap:( but I want to finish my suspension/kit first
Nice evolution process :D

[Brettnyt]

Wow! Your graphics were teh sux!!!! LOL... Not a fan, but now... WOW! Car looks great mang, and im diggin the DIY headlights... very unique! Keep it up and dont be a sellout like PaXiE!!! ;)

[Ep3_kid]

loving it bmx, just like i love bmx lol. (not you, the sport)
im not really feeling the wheels, they doesnt look that bad, but dont really flow with the car.

[SiR_d1]

Those are grounding wires, that's how they go.

My engine bay (I know, it's even worse than Trent's).

Steve

[Btrthnezr3]

why would u want the type s motor in it... If u have an siR then wouldn't u already have the type r motor in it? I am lost :confused:

[chibianh]

because an SiR is just the US Si in Canada.

[speedking604]

thanks chibianh for the quick respose. yes thats true i want to get type s engine. other wise i'll get the jackson racing supercharge (street version only)

Type 1 Racing or T1R Grounding wires

[bmx269]

Question: Anyone want to sell me a used AEM CAI for CHEAP? Preferably from Canada. That is planning to be my next mod.

Oh yah, I did get one more uninstalled mod.

I picked up a DC5 testpipe over the weekend, and will get that installed with a T1R DC5 Midpipe when I save up enough bling. :)

I am next trying to find out if I should not even plug the O2 Sensors.

[RockEP_SS**]

Saweet! I love that Spoon exhaust, and that Alex front upper strut is just what I want! What happened to the JDM steering wheel cover, and those other JDM accessories...;)

[bmx269]

I just got my new JDM style MOMO Corse steering wheel and hub, I will post pictures of the install this weekend. :) I am mad though about my seat, they are saying March.... aRRG, what to do, what to do....

[Zero Three Si]

Sup fool....I'm the one that was talking to you on the phone when you were at Paxie's house and you guys were all hung over.
