New Civic- B18 swapped EX coupe

[civiceater]

i tend to be a d**k on forums =p im pretty cool in person you can ask jeremy lol

i agree with him agreeing with me =p, you need to look into that AC mount, i didnt know what engine or anything to look for which is probably why i cant find it, is it something easy to order and install?

Yea if it isn't too difficult or expensive ill do it. Just ordered the header and grille. Will probably be doing some exhaust work this weekend, found rusted crack/holes in the pipe where is goes over the axle. I will probably take the resignator off, and then ill have a mean sounding little b series lol

if you take the resonator off youll have a shitty sounding b series

agreed, you could put a smaller resonator in but its not really going to help the sound of it, your best bet is looking for a new muffler

Would i bet better off with a high flow cat? My old car didnt have a resonator and it sounded good as hell with a stock cat. idk we'll see

[95coupeWI]

also depends on exhaust size, type of muffler, header, etc. i ran a high flow and a resonator when i had my d series and now on my b20

your last car had what, like 3 inch all the way, which probably lost you a ton of backpressure by the way, but then this one has like 2.5? they will have two completely different tones

 

[95coupeWI]

Last car had 2.25 or 2.5in piping. Im pretty sure this is just stock so its like 1.75in. But i hate making vids in the winter. Maybe ill make an exhaust one once i get it all together. Im ordering a purple tow hook right now. Im going for the black with purple scheme. Purple lugs, radiator stay and VC are next.

lose those autozone fog lights, they look terrible, paint the car, get some wheels, and lower it, and stop buying all these cheap ass ebay /autozone "performance" aisle add ons, its gonna look like s**t.

 

[95coupeWI]

How do performance parts look like s**t? And im saving so I can spend more on things that count, like rims, paint, suspension.. and I know the fogs aren't the greatest. Everything Ive bought off of ebay or whatever are things that aren't very important besides the header. So settle down there hoss, ill do me you do you.

He has a point. Just start putting money away, and try to avoid walking into AA or AZ on a whim just to see what you can get. But hey, like you said, i'll do me, you do you. And then I'm going to laugh at you when you give the same excuse as every other rice rocket driver gives. "Dude, i bought these fog lights that belong on a tractor so i can save money for my rimz."

Spending to save?

How about save, and buy parts once?

But thats just me, doing me.

you have a good point, save for something big that you want, who knows, you may find something along the way thats being sold cheap, thats the time to spend money, when you find something cheap that you know is good quality. that's what has happened to me a few times

 

[95coupeWI]

Yes i love all the s**t about the fogs lol, but i know what your saying. When i bought the fogs, i thought they would look better than they do. I wanted to try something different. But i guess lesson learned, civics only look good with some types of fogs.

 

[UCCRacing]

So you painted the VC to match the old one? The old one looked like a** lol....

Yea I agree with Redline you gotta stop buying the cheap stuff... And the tow hook for what? Your car needs a drop WAY more than it needs a useless header and useless tow hook... Its a honda, it never breaks down so why would you need a tow hook? LOL
