Default guess what i DID TODAY

this is a very pointless post, but i thought i would mentionit to some people who would care. i bought a new set of 205/40R/17 pirelli nero zero summer tires for next year. went from the 215 kumho thought i would get a tire that still fits the rim but not as wide and just get a better quality tire. did that to the tune of $650 but thats installed and free rotations, cause i aint messin with directional tires and my rims. Also sumthin i would never do but came across today is a set of upper strut tower bars/lower for the front and rear to get the civ cornering a bit better. they are a jdm company and very nice. my buddy bought them off ebay for his crx and they shipped him the wrong ones so i bought em off him cause they just so happend to fit my civic. brand new 140 bucks, although it has a c pillar bar too which being in a 4 door i dont need it so i might rekindle 35 bucks. only had time to install the front upper bar, and i must say steering seems a lot more touchy and precise, although my mind might be playing tricks on me. i also wanted to "de-ricify" the civic, so instead of replacing my body kit with another crappy or urethane pricey kit, i decided to go stock oem with a 96 mugen lip to the tune of 265 for both and 300 for paint i wont be installing this though until after winter cuz my messed up one might as well stay on so when i smash into a snow bank o well. pictures are to come of the new tires when i get them shipped in in 2 weeks, and the braces hopefully i'll have them all on the car tomorrow. PEOPLE! i am making this car mine now, not sum ricer crappy thing it may be slow still but its individualized now and i am luvin it

ok, well pictures might be not happen until the weekend now, lol get off school, come home sit for like 10 minutes, and get a phone call from the brother to go swap cars with him. im changin his oil and tire rotation, cause he has no shop anymore since he moved. and man o man his car is quite a car. 2005 nissan altima 3.5 se. chipped with 270 hp. heated leather seats, navi. 245/45/17's....the car hauls ***. i wish my civ could do that, i doubt many can pull the way the altima does without dropping a b18 and turbo. only crappy thing is it is a family sedan with family sedan handling
