Let me know what you think
Hi guys I just picked up an eg hatch today. Its my first civic and actually my first real car. I just thought I would let you all know that you'll probably see me around more here, and to expect me to have some questions. But for now let me know what you think of my ride. Oh yeah!! Kool-aid man style.
Short Mods List:
Jdm d15b vtec (has a little more power than a z6 or y8) (25k miles)
P28 ecu
Lighter Flywheel (fidanza probably)
Exedy Clutch
Allum. Radiator
New axles and brakes
Neuspeed struts
Alpine/pioneer sound system
Really nice, clean, new interior
Paint
Rota 15"s with new kumho etsca's
Kyb agx 8 way shocks
Skunk 2 coilovers
Full 2.5in exhaust to a resonator (Oddly Quiet)
K&N Intake (unsure of actual brand)
And I think that that's it.
So let me know what you guys think, oh yeah. Final price was 2300. Although it needs a new windshield, has some rust on wheel wells, and has a dent in back hatch. The dent is from a tard in a big truck. He backed into it with his trailer hitch. Oh and not to be forgotten. Pics!

It looks like there is a dent in bumper, but thats just lighting.

The color is graphite pearl black. I know its a mouthful, and I believe that its a Mitsubishi color. Those pics don't do it justice though, it looks so nice in person. I probably plan to turbo it down the line. Its convenient that the stock exhaust manifold will fit a dsm turbo. I'll probably go with a 16g and then go ebay route for intercooler, bov, vacuum lines, etc. I'll get an exhaust shop to do the charge piping and make a down pipe. And lastly I'll chip the ecu myself and do a basic tune with my laptop on chrome, at least until I can afford a good tune.
Here is a better pic.

Hey guys today I got some more stuff for her. I got a chipped p28 ecu that has a base map and has a two-step at 4k. I also picked up a Garrett turbo. Its a used 48 ar with an internal gate, and it has a surprisingly small amount of shaft play. Actually more like none at all, but just enough that you Think you feel some. The gate is seized, but that's ok. I'll be using an external gate, and I would have welded it shut anyway. Oh yeah... I got both of these for 100 buckaroos total. Good deal or what?
