wonder if you will get harass by cops in oakland for street racing with your turbo setup. lol

makes me want to get a manual civic and turbo it now. good luck with the project. we'll definitely have a photo shoot/ mini meet in the bay area when you get your civic lowered and the slips put on and hopefully your turbo would be installed and tuned then.

 

haha lets hope. GET A MANUAL lol. Anyways yea the meet up should be fun. Doubt the snail will be installed and tuned by then, but never say never.

 

Woke up at 6am, removed the struts then took them to the shop to get taken apart, then went to work. I only had 3hrs of sleep so I am really tired and wasnt up for taken making pics of the final drop. I did take pics through out the day and a couple of the drop with my steelies on. The slips are installed and ill take pics tomorrow. Here are some pics for the mean time.

All jacked up




Stock struts removed


I decided to also paint the forks flat black so here are some pics of those

nice job, suspension work kicks my **** almost ever time, but I feel accomplished when it's finally done.

 

nice work man, drops looks good. what are you lowered with again?

can't wait to see those slipstream go on.

 

yeah it sure kicked mine lol

thanks, dropped on drop zone coilovers and struts, so lets see how they do lol. Sorry I was so wiped out today had to get up really early again and go work with my mom at her school, got home at 12 and feel asleep all day. Promise pics tomorrow



edit: Also did some investigating about the manifold and downpipe. XSpower, which is a crappy ebay brand. Im not too worried about the down pipe cause its just a downpipe not really a big deal. The manifold im kinda worried about tho. It already has one nice sized crack. Although its cracked i figure i might as well get it it welded and reinforced and see how it holds up.

edit2: Was looking at some ebay intercoolers and piping. This one looks like the best deal. Its definitly the cheapest and looks the like the piping will be the best fit with minimal cutting. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

Also found a good deal on HMT, $135 for a chipped p28 w/ custom chrome basemap. And ordering dsm 450s with good orings + the clips for $45 tomorrow.

 

Looks good, i think you need a little air in that tire though.
