Ahhhh.. resize that pic!
If you want to have something in the bumper a velocity stock would be fine. I guess you are looking at my pics of the stack behind my fog bezel from before? It wasn't one solid pipe if that is what you are asking.Once the pipe went down in to the "hole" in the engine bay, there was another pipe with a 90° bend attached to it with a coupler.
Don't be afriad to get creative! It is only an intake!

Pulled out the HIDs and switched back to halogens. This might be the beginning of my part out and going back to stock as much as possible....
Anyone want some barely used DDM slim ballasts and Bi-xenon 35w 5000K bulbs? No harness since I simply cut it off the car. I think DDM sells replacement harnesses for like $15.
Trashed the eGay 3 pt strut bar since it didn't fit 100% and I am sick of messing with it. If anyone wants it, just pay shipping and PayPal and it is yours.... before the trash guys come by again next Thursday morning...
?
EDIT - Found out my reverse lights are not working. One of the tabs that are connected to the wire literally broke off. I will either pick up a new sensor for like $25 at the local Honda dealer, or rig it up to work for now.

I am probably going back to school for my engineering degree which means I'm going to sell the evo... Which means I can't just have a normal dd like everyone else. So I'm probably going to get a shell and buil the race car I've wanted, build an h22 powered hatch and build it for boost, somewhere in the range of 4-500 whp. My biggest concerns are a reasonable budget, keeping axles in tact without spending tons on them, and getting fitment in the back side for an intake. We will see though.

Your civic and 17k cash? I'm asking 23k for mine, I really want to build another civic though. Evo is fun but parts are expensive ad I'm scared to break something. Idc if I break something on a civic since its cheap and easy. Eg hatch isn't my favorite but they look good still and are light, I'm making a race car. Put mahle golds in the block and eagle rods, 4-500 to the wheels. Top mount manifold and maybe bumper exit exhaust, it'll be a beast. 10 second car I hope. I'd consider h2b if I could find a used adaptor plate, which could get expensive when I'd get an itr trans or something.
Axle was replaced and working fine for the time being.
Went to go look at an Integra last night for a trade. It is a 99 GSR with a B20 motor. Nice and stock engine bay, 5 lug swap, ITR wheels, silver paint.
Car has a few dings here and there, needs suspension, has eBay exhaust (semi loud), and has the ABS and SRS light on. Overall, the car is very nice. I just might do the trade. I would be keeping the headunit, and ecu from my at the least.
Edit: Guy shook hands with me on this on Friday, no where to be found now... ****ing flakers.

CVCRCR - Personally, I'd love to find a 4 door GSR with the correct engine still intact, a clean rust-free wagovan, a clean 2WD CR-V manual ready for an LS-turbo swap(heehee!), or a nice clean 5th/6th gen Accord ready for a 6speed j32 swap... those are all just silly honda-related dreams I've had lately...
I'm scared to buy a Subaru because I want to be able to beat the hell out of my DD and not break anything. If I manage to get over that fear (and find a better job) then I'll be saving up for a Forester XT

Yea, a clean black GSR sedan would be sick. Oh well.
I am still comtemplating on a few things.
1. Just drive the damn car and shut up.
2. Buy a cheap Integra or EG, and then part out the EK, save extra monies
3. Continue looking to trade my Civic (probably just not worth the haggling)
Looking at a 93 Civic with a B20vtec swap for $1500. just has rust in the 1/4 panels. For a car that I just need to drive. IDC about damage. I would buy that, part the EK, and then sell the EG, and buy a nice Integra. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... so many options.
