Here is what i have done so far from first to most recent
2 rear Sony speakers and head unit(since the OEM did not take CD's)
Si wheels
cat-back Magnaflow exhaust
30% tint on windows..... That i got a ticket for in PA
2 Sony front side door speakers
AEM SR intake
Si wing
Civic sticker... that adds 50 HP!
2 xplod 10 inch subs and kenwood amp, that i got for free
HID's 8,000k
All belts and water pump replaced

Things that i don't like about it
The bumper paint is chipping off(has some OEM bumper than someone did not paint to well)
It uses oil, well i think the oil pan seal is bad because there is a lot of oil residue on the oil pan
the timing belt whines, going to hopefully fix that this weekend
Maybe my timing is off a little i don't know(advice would help to check that)
My exhaust rattles when it is cold
I broke 2 valve cover bolts, going to try to get fixed this weekend as well along with new bolts
other then that i am happy with it besides that it is too slow!

Future plans
Getting a turbo, going for about 200hp on stock internals(working on that now)
full suspension- (maybe next year when i get the money)
get bumper and side skirts painted and a front lip
new paint
Engine swap in like 5 or 6 years
And anything else that comes to mind

I am open to any suggestions, comments and any advice

I also do not know why there is a circle in my drive way

here are the pics
Not from today
