I wish I could do engine mods! Now you just need to drop it. Everything looks good.

Are your parents not letting you? There are a couple free things you could do, like the TB coolant bypass, remove the resonator, and get rid of the noise-reduction walls on the inside of your airbox.

I really want to drop my car too. One of these days I may buy some springs if I can find a good deal.

My Dad wont let me. He said said I got a four door four cylinder automatic for a reason.

Added a blue ambient LED light today. I replaced the boring amber one that shines down on the shifter and cupholder. It looks pretty neat. Nearly every interior light I have is blue, lol. I've also ordered a white LED for my license plate, since the stock one looks pretty disgusting. I have no clue why I'm so infatuated with lights.

nice =)

Can you for sure tell a difference with all the engine mods you have done? I was just trying to think about how much of a difference the bolt ons make.

[Jeff Likes Bagels]

Definitely can. I'd say that the Ralco pulleys made the biggest difference.

K&N Intake - Car pulls harder at high RPMs (3k+), and throttle response improved (except in 95F+ weather)
Ralco Pulleys - Car pulls harder in the entire powerband. Most noticeable in low RPMs. The car doesn't chug in 2nd gear anymore, and the car gets up to speed a hell of a lot faster. They also offset the power loss from my SRI when in hot weather
TSX IM - Improved low-end. Similar to the pulleys, but also helped on throttle response
TB bypass - Not much of a difference, maybe a tiny bit better throttle response, but that's it; it did help a little in hot weather
Deleted intake resonator - Not much of a difference either, throttle response doesn't die as fast when in hot weather, kind of like the TB bypass
iVTEC DOHC decals - I can break the sound barrier now. You better watch out.

Regardless of whether or not my throttle response dies when in hot weather with my SRI, I still love the intake. Being a daily driver car, I'll never have to worry about hydrolocking and whatnot, even if it's near-impossible to do.

I'll be posting some updated pics tomorrow hopefully. I'm also going to be getting either a sedan front lip or a coupe front lip for myself for my birthday/Christmas. However, I'm having a hard time deciding. I'm a little discouraged on modifying the coupe lip, but after re-reading Thien's how-to again, it really seems like it just involves slapping on some extra washers and that's it. (Edit: nevermind) If it's not anything extreme like dremeling pieces off, I may go with it. I'd rather get the coupe lip anyways, lol. Maybe someone else who's already done the mod would like to chime in?  :crazy:

I have the HFP coupe lip on my car and it does not need to be modified.  You just need to take the time when putting it on to make sure it fits properly.  It's easier to take your bumper off to install the lip.

Cool, thanks. I'll definitely do that whenever I do end up getting this damned thing. It looks like I'll be getting a netbook for Christmas instead, ironically a day after I started looking for front lips. Oh well, I'll get the lip eventually. The coupe lip definitely looks like sex on the sedan.

Update! New pics!

Hey! Look at that! A stock old man's brown CM in a field!


Just playing dude. She looks good man.

[Jeff Likes Bagels]

Hah, thanks.

I also made me a new sig reflecting the new pic.

[CrackerTeg]

The sig looks real good man. What you use to make it?
