My first build

[blackdog76]

My first modded civic wasn't much of a performance build. I just did an AEM cold air intake that but the filter about 4" from the ground (bad idea). Did a catback exhaust, and Eibach springs with GR2 shocks, stut bars, and a few other things. Basically I did a bunch of bolt on stuff and by the time I was done I got it to the point where it was half as fast and handled half as good as my stock Nissan S13. I wasn't too happy initially with my switch from Nissan to Honda but the car grew on me. Until I went through a puddle at 50mph and hydrolocked the motor. I shot about 7 holes in the engine block and replaced it with another single cam. Left the AEM off after that.

Here's a look:

I hate webshots.

Photobucket is the only way to go.

if you still want an aftermarket intake but don't want to make the same mistake you made before, check out a ram-air intake. does the same thing, just doesn't quite get the same cold air as down below the fender, but it does keep it dry.

Yeah, I've learned my lesson for sure. That was a costly mistake.
