I'm loving that last pic....with the sun shining on the side of the car with some great reflections

Sweet looking ride mate :D

[Tash]

Very very very nice :D Loving the red and black (I'm an Essendon supporter) It looks very mean from the back with those tinted tails

[Branno]

nice ride mate, loving those wheels =D, by the way where did u get those window visors and your short ram?

[RedSportivo]

Car looks great if you dont mind me asking what are those wheels called?

[CUB41]

Thanks guys for your comments,

clifton, camber is standard and wheel are 17x7 with 205/40/17 kumo ku31's

William, window visors i got off ebay. he is a local shop here in brisbane

RedSportivo, they are speedy lite 9's, they will be for sale soon.

Black rims looks good but ill soon be mixing it up a lil bit. Changing rims and a few other things to try and make it stand out from the rest. If anyone here knows me well enough i like to be diffrent.

[clifton]

Damn why do you guards look so filled, looks good bro!

Im running 17x7 215/45/r17 and they dont look full as yours, maybe its the pics :P

[VF-X]

Oh Shyt.. I have nothing more to add.. That is super hawt. Great Job

How often do you get pulled over for those tail lights? :P

[QTOOSEEMEE]

[CUB41]

Clifton, yeah ide say its the pics,

VF-X, thanks mate, ohh and i havnt been pulled over in this since September last year. Been quite lucky lately.

[CUB41]

I think its time for an update,

well my luck ran out, in the last 2months i got done speeding and got defected for my tail lights also had a cop pick on my HID's and front eyelids. Mind you they said nothing about all the stickers so i was a lil bit confused. Anyway i also changed jobs and been getting lots of stuff threw work for the stivo so far i have got the following,

Whiteline:

Front strut brace

Front sway bar

Rear sway bar (should rock up this week)

DBA:

Front slotted rotors

Rear Slotted rotors

Other:

Taillights (stock)

Time for pics,

Also got a new injen intake, shifter bushes and a lightweight crank pully,

Next on the list is:

Install rear swaybar,

Buy some brake pads and upgrade brakes

Bucket seats

Exhaust

and new wheels.

Danny,

Any chance you have that part number for the Injen intake? I'm trying to source one myself and want to make sure it definitely fits.

Cheers in advance

Alf

[jeffy]

nice :]

Hey, are you going tracking with your car, you got such a great mod? it will be fast...

such a hot car,

[lateralus]

big no no on the crankshaft pulley! the 2zz's are externally balanced, so if you fit the lightweight pulley it will most likely cause problems as it may be too much underdrive.

otherwise, good purchases!

hmmm...endless argument on this even I am sick of it

For example, there is one below about this

http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/engine-swaps-mounts-pulleys/146787-nst-pulley-long-term-users.html

Up to you whether you want to gamble with the pulley or not. I am a pulley user myself and no problems, but my engine is different from yours!!! so I don't know

but make sure you asked your mechanic to check the screw of the pulley and the condition of the pulley everytime you service your car, just for peace of mind.. Many pulley failure are due to poor installation

I check my pulley and headers quite often for any cracks or leaking

ImPulse: the part # is INJ-RD2082P

Ben Yip: yeah mate plan is to get on the track and do ***** legit. Sick of getting fines.

Thanks for the comments guys.

[clifton]

How does the car feel with the two new sway bars?

Nice mod list btw!

[CUB41]

Front end feels real tight with the strut and sway bar, rear sway bar isnt in yet but i think it will be awesome once it is. Over all the car handles really well ide recommend doing swayabrs.

Everyone says do the rear first on a fwd car but my rear end is quite solid, well not now with the front sway but you can point the car anywere atm and it takes it like a good girl should.
