Yes... because He needs scrape the underside of his car everywhere he goes. It's up to you... but by no means do you NEED to go any lower than you already are.

Sorry about that, guess SLOW Ep3 doesn't want opinions..... :noidea:



What he needs and what he gets is up to him, I gave my suggestion. :couch2:

Well then you shoulda said "If it were me, i would lower it a bit more", but instead you told him "you NEED to go lower"... The first one is a suggestion, the second... not so much:mcool:

[RedSiBaron]

wow!!! car looks awesome!!! cant wait to see it

heh that is a good point, i scrape too much in cincinnati...im jealous that he wont haha

[FELON-K20]

its ok

[IcyDeath]

I scrape and my exhaust piping bumps... It's great....really.

How do those Yokohama S.drives ride? I'm thinking of getting that 215/45/17 on mine when I get different rims.

[its a ivtec]

nice ride..black is sexy lol

[Godhand]

Looks great dude. Perfect height, in my opinion.

[skoo74]

pretty clean.. how are u liking the prokit?

[SLOW EP3]

whats next on the list?
I think HFP rear lip and CTR USDM front lip and a CF hood.... after that it's swap + FI time.


wow!!! car looks awesome!!! cant wait to see it

heh that is a good point, i scrape too much in cincinnati...im jealous that he wont haha

Thanks! Yeah with the road conditions in Cincinnati I couldn't justify having it lowered anymore, but I agree I wish it was just a little bit lower.

The S.Drives handle really nicely, but there's a little vibration at highway speeds because the shop that mounted them sucks. They're really grippy though, very predictable.

Here's a dyno chart from over the weekend...this was on a Dynapack so keep in mind it reads about 5% higher or so than a dynojet.
159hp and 130tq. The license plate says it all. :mrolleyes:

[willy_akino]

i 159hp with just sri and midpipe?? thats pretty high

[SLOW EP3]

93 octane gas. :rockon:

If you reduce those numbers by 5% its about 154hp and 123tq..

[civictype_r04]

Looks good I like the wheels I can't wait to get mine on.

[dashehonda]

Give it up for another clean Ohioan, keep it straight man, we need all the Rep we can get:mcool:

[!@#$%]

Looks great. I wouldn't change a thing. Keep it in mint condition.

[jimmyjames]

Now that I see your picture, I know which one you were...the one taking a cameraphone video of your dyno pull, right?
I had thought it was the guy sitting behind your car on the phone when it was parked outside.
Sorry about the mix up, see ya next time.

[ghettotech]

looks good man....but like stated already just needs to go a tad lower...but i like where your going with it man!! keep it up!

[xsimplistikaznx]

looking good man. lol don't let the license plate "saying" fool peeps! HAAH

[socal_brandon2]

Looking good man, love the wheels on your car. I do have to hop on the "lower!" bandwagon.. But shit, I'm from socal so maybe that's why! :D

That's my plan and I'm sticking to it! :mcool:

Yeah that was me. Those Dynapacks are wack though, I thought they had in-ground rollers like a Dynojet. I was a little disappointed, but I can't complain for $35 bucks. That's dirt cheap. Did you happen to see the VW VR6 before me? He pulled 430+whp...sick!

This car WILL be turbo'd in the near future, it's disco potato time. Then I'll really have some fun with this license plate hehe.

I'm really not into the "slammed" look anymore, I'd rather not deal with the headaches of poor suspension geometry and torn up tires. The ProKit is just enough to get rid of the ridiculous stock ride height. Maybe I'm getting old. :mfrown:

[jimmyjames]

Did you happen to see the VW VR6 before me? He pulled 430+whp...sick!Really?! I saw the green gti and was like...eh.
Little did I know there was a VR6 swap. wow.

[PuMpKiN_Ep3]

:laser:

[simcivic08]

[itchy5]

[SLOW EP3]

thats clean, should grab a dcrh to compliment that t1r mid pipe :D

I won't waste my money on a header for 5hp....if I ever take the OEM header off, it will be to replace it with a turbo manifold and a fresh Garrett disco potato. Mmmm.....drool. :smokin:

[eroc206]

Clean ride

haha thats even better, boost the bananas out of it! :mtongue:

[SLOW EP3]

haha thats even better, boost the bananas out of it! :mtongue:

Yes sir, that is the plan. In my opinion, the K20a3 is the new B18b motor...better efficiency, but not made for raw N/A power. Forced Induction is the only route to take. :mconfused:
