  1. Honda_Boy's Honda Civic, now with JDM foglights.............Ok they are actually replicas but neither I nor my parents are spending $300-400 for a set of real JDM Raybrig foglights. The $120 Depo Replicas from Password JDM are just fine. Even the switch will fool a non EK Civic savvy person into believin it's OEM. They look great and both me a my friends that helped me install them think that they improve the look of the lip and the whole car in general. Sweet.
  2. Way to make me feel bad about my 3rd car. My first car was a 1985 Pontiac Sunbird Fasthatch base model with alloy wheels, 3-spd Automatic transmission, power steering, and A/C. A/C didn't work, alloys looked like crap, and the transmission was the most retarded auto tranny I've ever seen. Got it from my granddad for free. Broke down after 4 months. Next I had my beloved 95 Civic EX Coupe next. Power every thing, Moonroof, and a 5-spd manual. I later added alloys. Bought it from my brother. Wrecked it after 2 years. Current POS. 96 Civic CX hatch. Power nothing, B16 engine swap, close ratio 5
  3. Actually I wanna add a high gain S2000 antenna (Honda) to my car. I've really gotten into Eurobeat dance music recently. I found the sound track to Initial D 4th Stage so my friend and I have been jammin to it in the car. Really makes you wanna go and drive.
  4. I quit listenin to the radio a LONG time ago. Hmmm, bout the time I got my first Civic. Let's see. Why was it I quit again? Oh yeah!. That piss ant antenna on the car. My hatchback is the same way. Can't pick up crap with that antenna. We've got 3 stations I can in my dad's truck, my mom's car, and the delivery truck at work (which I have driven for the final time since today was my last day) that I listen to. The Buzz (They play everything that rocks. They play the current hits plus great stuff from back in the day) The Rock (Classic rock that really rocks, from the likes of ACDC and Ozzy to
  5. I don't see they can hear that crap any way since their damn trunk lids are rattlin so much. I may have my CD Player cranked but I do hear my car. I can't hear the exhaust cause it's behind me but my AEM short ram Intake allows me to hear my motor and even with the CD Player cranked the sweet Dual cam roar can easily be heard.
  6. Man are me and TJ gonna be outta place at the Import Alliance Nashville Meet in my Civic. Most of the cars there are gonna blarin this ridiculous crap while me and TJ will be rollin through, blastin Dream Theater, Queensryche, Pagan's Mind (Progressive Metal), Dragonforce (Extreme Metal so called by Dragonforce themselves but really it's just speed/progressive metal), and the Initial D sound track (Eurobeat dance music). One of my favorite rap/hip hop songs (and I like few, very, VERY few) is the opening theme to Fresh Prince. I didn't mind the old school stuff from the late 80's early 90's. T
  7. Well just filled up tonight after work. $26. For 8.9 Gallons......of 93 octane.............. Damn high compression. $2.89 for the good stuff $2.69 for water, IE 87 Octane. Almost wish I had a CR/VTEC engine swap (B20 block plus B16 head, I have a full B16A2 motor/tranny) so I could still get some power but be able to use 87 for daily driving. Keyword, almost. I still love the pure sport high compression B16 with the close ratio tranny.
  8. Hazardous waste collection. That's how I got rid of some of my parts. Any of that crap good or even worth wile. Any socket 478 boards? i love having spare parts that are good.
  9. Oh, even then they usually have my stuff processed and shipped out the next day. That's what I love about them. They are ridiculously fast at that stuff.
  10. Spring break, the little grade/middle/high school brats are all on a 2 week spring break right now. I had my 1 week college spring break at the beginning of march. Their fall break was also 2 weeks. Mine was 2 days. HA, but my Christmas Break was a whole month. Summer break for me is right around the corner though. I get out in the first of may while the brats get out the end of may. I also have a much longer summer break. I love college but I hate economics. Don't tell my parents this, but I just failed my most recent test. It was hard for me. I really should have dropped the class but it is
  11. I usually get the employee discount at O'Reilly's if I get Dave or Eric to ring me up. I also get the discount at NAPA when certain people recognize me as being my brother's younger brother. My brother has worked at both those particular locations and he's even worked at 2 different Advance Auto Parts back in the day. He's in the parts Department at the Mercedes Benz dealer right now (he is loaded. He does almost as good as my dad, my bro being 25 and my dad being 54 and working at the same place for 20 years or so). Tomorrow I'm gonna talk to my friend and see if he got me an interview. Ahhh
  12. I put in my 2 week notice at work. I got sick and fed up with the BS I had been puttin up with. Never received 2 or 3 promised raises, worked well past what I was paid for (they owe me like $500 or more that I'll never see unless I take legal action), and there is one girl there that I absolutely despise and is a major source of a ton of my trouble there. More than likely I'll be working at Blockbuster with my friend making more money, getting better hours, and doin practically nothing during the week. The place only gets busy on Friday or Saturday and even then they don't get a great deal cau
  13. The lip is carbon fiber, you don't paint carbon fiber. If you want to paint it you buy a urethane lip. The grille was cut out and I may buy some Home Depot gutter guard and put it in the grille (so freakin ricey but gets the job done). I actually want to just buy another grille and paint it. I have one but all the mounts have been cut off so it's no good. It's just a decoration in my room now. I need to figure out how to remove the H badge without damaging it so I can use it in the new grille when I get one or I could just get the grille out of another car with a badge already on it. Skirts ma
  14. Ohhh, well maybe that's why. Oh and on my lappy all the 1024x768 pics are reduced 50%. Well sorry about my pics being too big but I always set photobucket to load them at 1024x768 max size.
  15. Yeah, everyone on Tennspeed said the same thing about the skirts. They suck. They are for a body kit and fit very poorly. The guy that put all this crap on ths car couldn't drill a hole if his life depended on it. Even the lip doesn't fit the greatest. I'm buyin OEM skirts from the junkyard when I think about it. Eventually I will replace the front fenders and bumpers. When I do so that lip will fit correctly or will be replaced by a different lip (either a JDM SiR, JDM Type-R, or another ViS Spoon style carbon fiber lip like I have) cause the one I have is damaged. I'm thinking a carbon fiber
  16. Finally new pics. I wasn't able to wash my car the day I wanted to cause a friend of mine came over cause she wanted me to help her set up a theme on her laptop. After she left and I went to wash my car, I realized I didn't have any soap or a decent wash mitt cause my bro took all the washing stuff with him when he finally got his own house. So I had to go buy the stuff and didn't have the time before work. I am lovin the lip. Even my dad likes it. My dad wants to see this car restored as badly as I do.
  17. Do you use something other than IE of FF cause I've tested it on both IE6 and FF2 and they both resize the images on this forum. Hmmm, henna...... oh scuse me, slipping into Japanese. Henna means strange. Still tryin to learn Japanese but I can't get past the first 2 lessons cause I keep forgetting what I learn.
  18. I swear on all my PC's that the pics are resized on this forum to keep them from being to big. What res are you at? 800x600? I have my desktop set 1280x1024 and my laptop at 1024x768 and this forum always resizes the pics on both. The pic is 1024x768 and reduced to 62% size on my desktop.
  19. speakin of buyin tech and electronic stuff, Honda Boy has a new toy for his room. 27 inches of Sanyo flat tube goodness. I love it. Kicks the crap outta my old 19" GE. only paid $150. It was originally $320 but that was like a year or 2 ago. I bought it from my manager. Fansubs on the lappy and DVD's are great on this thing. In a coupla weeks, there's gonna be an 800W Sony Digital 5.1 Surround Sound Home Theater system to go with it. Not only do I have the best TV and DVD player in the house but I will soon have the best sound system. Rock on. I love electronics.
  20. have ya restarted your system since your latest update. I don't remember having trouble with either my lappy or my gaming rig but both have been restarted multiple times since the last update (particularly the lappy).
  21. well screw gettin another car. Frickin screw it. This thing is gonna remain mine for along time and I am for damn sure gonna make it look good. I'm ordering a new bumper next and my manager and I are gonna do it right. The one that's on it is not even the same color and not properly clear coated. We are gonna make this hatchback shine like the frickin sun. It's gonna be worthy of the car show it's gonna be in in May. P.S. I am so addicted to the Initial D 4th Stage Sound Track. Greatest driving music ever. It's like dance music or something. During the racing scenes this music was playing. Ini
  22. also need to give this dude a glass stomach so he can see, cause his head is way to far up his @$$. I'm not dealin with a butt hole like him. He thinks just cause the car is "clean" it justifies the price. Ummm no. Not really. If my car was in perfect shape I still would only get like $3800 - $4200.
  23. just as a expected, the trade ain't happenin. Excuse my french but the dude just suddenly started being a dick. He started calling me and everyone else on Tennspeed that responded to his FS/Trade thread retards for saying his car is only worth $3500. Which it is. He started thinking that car was worth $6500. He's way off base. KBB values an LS with his mileage at 2900 and a GSR at 3200. He has an LS with a GSR motor essentially making it a GSR. Add a coupla hundred on for mods and you have his value. My car is $2500 car. It has a $2000 motor in it. It has more than $2000 worth of after market
  24. Teaser pics of the new look. If I remember, I'll clean it and take some new pics tomorrow.
