you guys must be on your periods. All I am saying is you should have ordered wheels awhile back, then ordered springs then did it all together. Then it would have looked a lot better.

It doesn't change the fact that I still would have not have used the wheels until I got the shocks / springs on anyways. Logic my friend. Besides, I started the job I have now this summer. I wouldn't have money prior to the past 2 months.

Better get to PB'in those rear LCA bolts.
I didn't have time to pick up LCA bolts at all last week and I won't have any time next week until Thursday / Friday so I'll have plenty of time to hit em up :thumbup:.

Completely understandable. I didn't mean to come off as a d**k to you in my previous posts. I just didn't have the money. It was either wheels and tires or suspension.

All I am saying is it looks retarded seeing cars dropped on stock wheels.



Im just glad to see this guy finally building the civic. :thumbs up
I actually think my OEM LS Webs at the time looked a lot better than my Drag DR20's.

You're a little late on this topic :lol:.

Me and some buddies are meetin up in about an hour to work on his Jeep and my car. He's got the tools and s**t to cut off my header and torch the studs / nuts to get the old s**t off so I can get the new header on. Might even be able to get the sway bar and LCA's on depending if the LCA bolts give me s**t. Definitely will get the shift boot on though :lol:.

Got the header in and the shift boot but my buddy has all the pics on his D70 and he's at work. I'll get them later.

I figured out the sway bar but the seller forgot to give me the bolts for the D-Brackets :x. Gotta pm him.

Finally got the pics off my buddy's dslr memory card for the header s**t

Me excited about the header :rolf:


Before shot of the OEM manifold


Gotta have some beer for the 21st b-day :lol:


OEM header off with the OEM studs


Just before I took the o2 sensor off


Brand new OEM studs with the new gasket in :thumbup:


And the new header in :thumbup:


Header all warmed up for the first time. I love the gold look but too bad it'll stay discolored eventually :thumbdown:


Got the OEM CTR shift boot in too:


Going to Honda tomorrow to get LCA botls and the bolts for the D-Bracket then (hopefully) getting the sway bar in. Illuminas should be in tomorrow too. LCA's will go in with the shocks / springs. I hit up all the RLCA bolts with PB blaster today so I'll do it for a few more days.

So stay tuned for more pics :thumbup:.
