Default MBrent's slowly evolving FA5 daily-to-touge buildish type thread

Gents.
Longtime no see.
I have an 07 HRP FA5. I plan to slowly do stuff. It has 90k on it.

Mod list
-Skunk2 72mm DBW throttle body
-CAI
-Gutted Cat
-Hondata Flashpro tuned by me

Future mods
- Omni Power QMC (already ordered, should be here by 5/15)
- Ground Control/Koni setup (because Taiwanese coilovers are ****e, and custom spring rates and rebuiladble custom-valved dampers made in USA are ****)
- Enkei RPF1
- Yokohama meats
- Brembo blanks/EBC pads
- Straight pipe
- Ported factory IM by me
- Mild cams
- Dyno

Anywho, its a decent daily. Not looking for ridiculous power, but a little more wouldnt hurt. I have some fleabay springs to satiate my lust for low, but they have not been installed. Full synthetic oil change, Amsoil synchromesh, and QMC installation taking place next wknd. I know, pics or GTFO. Give me a bit and I will conjure some up.

Sounds nice, looking forward to the build. The newer gen civics have really grown on me lately...

Thanks man. My photobucket ate ****, and Ive been super busy putting together Gundam models, so I still have no pics. 8th gens ate ok I suppose. It just isnt as raw as the other hondas Ive had. Kinda flat if you catch my drift.

the best mod so far...

I dont particularly like any of you, except for maybe Gene. Thats only because I fear what he is capable of. I will get to work on some low and a front lip soon. In the meantime, Im honing my alcohol consumption skills. Blueberry Bull and Ciroc makes me happy. Hit me up on instagram, mbrentc1983. Also, I forgot that I like Trust. He has more 8th gen knowledge than I do. /rambling post

You know I'm in the kingdom of far far away and you don't really have to like me anymore?

You wouldnt happen to be in Ukraine would you? Buddy of mine has family over there. His pops was on capitol hill during the cold war, then "went" to Kiev to "edit a newspaper." Anywho, SBU affiliation or some ****, who knows. Hes always rambling on about Crimea and Harley Klub...

So, my ****box has been giving me fits. Front end vibrations, alignment wonky, diving under anything more than moderate braking. Replaced pads, rotors, inner tie rods...... to no avail. On my way in to work monday and the pass front snapped to the ditch, almost flipped. Called the wrecker, had it towed to my Grandad's shop. Finally got under it today, and I find that THE MOTHERLOVING LCA BOLT HAS VANISHED. HOLY SHIZ. I COULDVE DIED. Anywho, Honda disillusionment sets in. Time for a photo dump.

New tie rod end, the Glock 20 is just to liven up an already dismal photo.

HOLY JEEBUS, LCA bolt gone. Source of my problems.

Gonna order proper bolt, install lowering springs, and finish rolling my fenders this wk. Also going to install NGK Iridium plugs. TLC for the mother****er that tried to kill me.

Ungrateful bastard, you treat that car well and this is how it re-pays you. Give it to me now.
