Well, the exhaust did not show up today. Hopefully it will arrive on Monday. Need to get the exhaust on so we can do the final tune. But I received a special bonus today, a guy came into the shop wanting to sell a set of Tein springs (brand new in the box never opened). I bought the springs and put them on the car. It dropped the car about 1.5" front and back. Some pictures are attached (bad angle need to get better pictures). I should have gotten a side shot of the car but I was too busy admiring my handy work. Also, the car was switched over to OBD1. I don't have pictures but we installed a nice set of AEM gauges in the dash (boost and air/fuel mixture). I will need to get more pictures and put them up soon.

Here is a good side shot with the new springs on the car. I am pleased with the way it sits now. Opinions?

Their tein but I am not sure exactly which ones. I got to drive it today for the first time and wow what a difference. With the new suspension, engine, transmission and brakes its a different car. Now I have to learn all about the car again, but it will be fun. Waiting for the boost gauge so we can do the final tune. It has a little bit of a flat spot around 20% throttle. I love the sound of the Apexi WS 2. It sounds stock until the super charger starts whining and then you can definitely tell this ain't your Daddies Civic.

All I can say is WoW what a difference. It was worth the wait.

looks good, nice little drop there. Are you on stock struts? I like how you got a sleeper look going on. Also if you painted the side skirts and side moldings I think it would look really good.

EDIT: Also just look at the engine bay, lookin good again, but man if you repainted that valve cover like a candy red or a glossy red i think it would look amazing

Yes, I am planning on painting it in the spring. I plan on painting all of the black molding the same color as the car. I was going for the sleeper look and I think I have achieved it. Not sure what I want to do with the engine bay/engine yet.
