1998 Civic DX hatch, red
I don't think any thing I've put on my civic is SHOW quality, so I removed it from my list.
CF hood:
-----------
Likes: Looks great, reflects crazy colors in the sunlight, light weight
Dislikes: worried about it getting messed up or stolen
Go value: lighter than stock hood
Where did you get it? ebay
How much did you pay? $300
Would you get it again? Definitely
rota slipstreams/Kumho:
--------------------
Likes: light weight, race looking, I like black rims
Dislikes: n/a
Go value: light weight
Where did you get it? Traded friend 17" shu wheels/tires
How much did you pay? ^^^
Would you get it again? Yep (I don't like the Kuhmo tire)
pieced together turbo kit:
--------------------------------
garrett t3/t4 turbine, vortech FMU 10:1, in-tank walbro 255 HP fuel pump, starion intercooler, d-series mani, TIAL wastegate, XS manual boost controller, HKS SSQ BOV, HKS turbo timer type 1, autometer tach w/ shift light, boost gauge, air/fuel ratio gauge, custom 2.5" downpipe, 2.5" cat, 2.5" full exhaust, home made charge pipes and oil lines.
quick story: I built this turbo kit to go in my 91 integra, I dropped in a 97 b18b motor LS tranny. It took me 4 months to get the turbo kit together, in the mean time my teg got totaled. So this turbo kit is being transformed to go in this civic I bought 3 wks ago. My last piece is a flange to weld to the turbo mani so I can put the wastegate on, should be in tomorrow; I'll be boosting this weekend. Hopefully.
Likes: turbos are cool
Dislikes: took me too long to put together, and I'm working on my patience
Go value: :bowdown: :shocked:
Where did you get it? ebay, thepartstrader.com, friends
How much did you pay? $2000
Would you get it again? I would have rather bought the drag kit and put it on the car in one weekend.
Crow enterprises 5pt harness:
-------------------------------------
Likes: keeps you safe
Dislikes: takes a while to get used to, takes a while to buckle up
Go value: I like being glued to the seat, you don't move going around corners and my shifts feel more quick.
