Well I have had it. It was alright a few years ago when I was picking up some awards here and there, but now it too much. I decided, no more show, just strictly go... Tired of being a sterotype, so I went sleeper mode. Now I get to laugh at all the retards that try to play with my "stock" civic.

TO:

Holy shit!!!!! That looks so much better now.

Also, what engine mods do you have in there now?

another

motor...

Next step is some 15 spoon replica wheels for outside.
I am currently getting ready to install my ignition system, looking for a safc, and a boost- timing retard unit.

So far off the top of my head engine is:
turbo, intercooler, custom 2.5 downpipe+exhaust, full fuel system, blah blah. You want to see a free flowing exhaust...:
I made my own damn path...

I really cant beleive you had the guts to do that!! It looks nice now, but I still think I liked it better before, the paint was a little much, I would have just changed that and kept everything else the same.

that is beautiful! I seriously love how clean it looks now. makes me wish mine looked that nice

not that it looked bad before :wink:

so the body is virtually all stock now? how much was the paint? in the pics it looks like someone gave you on hell of a paint job

that is really nice. good job with that civic man.:bigthumb:

Thanks. Yep its pretty much back to stock on the outside. I got a good deal in a local shop just because they painted it before like 2 years ago and it was warrentied for 4. I only paid in the end $390ish, for same paint and some bodywork. They are good guys, plus I have sent quite a bit of busissness their way over the past few years. I am liking it alot, just need to ditch the 17s. The only thing that gives it away is the intercooler peeking out from behind the bumper, and the noise of the turbo, bov, and exhaust. It is funny though, people see me driving and they think are are about to kill a "stock civic" with rims and exhuast. And then... hahaha I am so evil.....

you know... I don't know where you can buy it but I hear there is a special kind of paint for radiators and such... its just basic black but it is really thin so when you paint the fins it doesn't affect the heat transfer. that might be a way to may your intercooler a lot sneakier

here is what I am talking about

Radiator Black Paint Aerosol 12 oz

Item No. - 10040 Z
Standard engine paints are too thick for radiator use because they can interfere with heat transfer and block air flow between the cooling fins. Also, standard paint tends to flake off radiator tanks. Radiator Black helps solve this problem. This acrylic enamel factory-finish (85% gloss) withstands 300 degree F., sprays on thick enough to cover completely, yet thin enough to not interfere with heat transfer. Great for heater cores and air conditioning condensers, too! Each 12 oz net wt. can covers 6 sq. ft., most radiators require 2 cans for full coverage. Buy 3 or more and SAVE!



Regular Price: $8.99 Buy 3 or more Pay Only: $ 8.49 ea.


This item is in stock.

I love the way the intercooler looks in the front of a car.

I really like what you did with the exhaust. Good job making "your own path". How power are you putting down, and have you run at the track yet? Times??


P.S. I like the intercooler too:bigthumb:

I wish I could tell you. When I first slapped the turbo on, I went down and ran a lowest of 15.3. It was horribly untuned with no fuel management except regualator. It was running to rich, that when I gunend it I couldnt see out the rearview. Then I did the whole fuel system and the blue box and pulled a 14.2. Both on 17's with street tires and pump gas. Still with the blue box, the fuel map sucks and when I try past 8psi it starts to bog badly. So now I am in the process of doing an msd system and a safc with a wideband O2 sensor. It is in need of some serious tuning. After it gets on the dyno and tuned at 10psi, I should be able to see low 13's with my compression easily and hp should be 250-300. Also need to get myself some slicks and a helmet. Then the next step who knows...

WOW, and who ever said you cant polish a turd?......


Looks awesome now versus the punked out flamboyant look , exelent move my friend, sleepers the way to go, now if only more riceKids would have such an inspirational transformation!!!
:pimp:

No offense to most civics, but i have only seen about 2 on here that i really like and i would drive, and this is one of them. Good job dude :bigthumb:

sorry, I like the before more, it is still nice, but if you already had the go, I see no reason to lose the show.

Nice job, man. I like the way it looks now. It looked cool before, too, though. The paint sucked, but everything else was nice.

what a difference. good move. not that it looked to bad before but it was a little much.

all i can say is...WOW. you did an excelllent job. the car looked very good before (ricey, but still nice). now you've managed to transform it into a DEADLY sleeper. kinda the opposite of what everyone else does to their car (exterior-wise, anyways).:tongue:

anyways, looks awesome and runs even better! one of the best transformations i've ever seen on a civic...
