Default Cvcrcr's 99 Civic EX project (Turbo.. woohoo!!)

Well... I wanted to set this thread up awhile ago, but never got around to it. I guess you can call it a project, more or less a list of things I want to do with the car, but it could always change.

When I got the car 3/2007, bone stock. Unfortunately, no pics.

Within a month a CAI was installed, and since then, little pieces have been added. Here's the list so far.
7/2007 - OEM Black Housing Headlights;
8/25/07 - Citi-Lites (at this time, removed);
10/3/07 - Skunk 2 Short Shifter/Shift ****;
10/13/07 - DC Sport 4-2-1 Header (removed);
5/4/08 - Crower Stage 2 Camshaft, Supertech Valve Springs and Titanium Valve Spring Retainers, Cometic Head Gasket, ARP Head Bolts, Skunk 2 Intake Manifold, Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket;
12/27/08 - EK Fog lights, Type “R” Grille;

First thing is first........my car needs to be fixed (cosmetically). I need:
New front bumper cover
New passenger fender
Paint, if not already VSM.

Things that I want:
Bi-xenon HID kit (6000K or 8000K)
ITR 23mm Rear sway bar w/ all necessary brackets etc.
ASR subframe brace
ARP Extended Wheel Studs
Front/Rear Type "R" lip kit
Wheels! (Hoping to find some GSR Blades)
Aftermarket 6x9's for the rear speakers (No idea what I'll get, but something better than stock!)

Stuff I have, but not installed:
Rear disc brakes (trailing arm assembly) (Needs new rotors, pads, and bushings prior to install)
Pioneer 5 channel amp/"RSX type S" OEM Bose subwoofer

This thread will be updated either as soon as I think of other things I want, or as soon as I buy/install something.

I'll keep you in mind if anything comes up.

Isn't it great??? I don't think I could have asked for a better/user friendly system. Especially when I got my p28/s300/OBD2B-OBD1 harness for $150. lol

The pictures that I have up there are when I first lowered it. Rubbed front tires on almost every turn, and scraped my exhaust on every little bump in the road. I am guessing it was about a 3-3.5'' drop.

However, since then I have raised it up a bit. I'll find some time to take some new pics.

Over-the-weekend update!
On Friday (4/24), I installed my AEM Uego gauge with gauge pod (thank you trust), and wideband. It still needs to be adjusted regarding the wires and all.

^No longer in front of the cluster, now located near the cupholders

On Saturday, a friend of mine and I took a trip up to North NJ. He was picking up a CRV head for his RSX, since his car died (long story). It was a 2 1/2 hour trip up, and a 5 hour trip (stuck in traffic) back. After getting home I found out there was a ten car pile up on the NJ turnpike. The good thing is, he is a huge Hondata fan, and I got a 3 hour tuning session! woo hoo!

At the beginning of the week, I found a small Greddy turbo kit on my local Craiglist. So I decided, to give him a call and meet up. I got everything you see below for $200.





^all of which has been sold except the AEM FPR^

Everything still has to be cleaned up a bit, and I will probably have the turbo rebuilt. I have heard a turbo rebuild at a shop is around $250, am I correct? I have yet to check around for prices.

On Sunday, in went the fuel filter!

Lastly, I found a new project for my interior (or cluster for that matter).

^sold it on eBay... looking at a SI or CTR cluster now

So to wrap up this crazy-long post, I had a very busy and somewhat productive weekend.
