exactly, it's just the way i am, i started w/ an 87 grand am 5sp 2dr, got bored w/ it and upgraded, i just fixed the car up a little, and sold it for twice as much as i bought it for, then bought my camaro, and things have just been going that way since.

no, i love my civic, i think i'm gonna be usin it for a long time. it's even faster than what i would have originally thought a civic could be. i used to burn em all day long in my camaro, even in my olds, but now that i'm driving one, i'd say the only reason they got burned by the olds was the civic's drivers.

Nice! I have not done to much to mine, just yet. I plan on doing alot though. I guess that goes without saying every one plans on doing stuff haha. I live in canada, Saskatchewn. so it's a little harder for me to get stuff due to that i have to get most things shipping in to shipping screws me over... pop in saskatchewan is like almost 1 mil and land wise we are the alot bigger then japan. so... there are on alot on import shops.

here's a question for you. i've been trying to find info on swapping the throttle body from an automatic ex onto my standard ex b/c i've heard they're a little bigger and will be a direct fit, just wondering if you've heard anything about that before?

Sorry, not sure. but i can't see why they would be unless it's a diffrent engine... But i have a older civic. don't know to much about your modal. i have a 5th gen
