I gave it back to the kid, never paid him when I got it so I gave it back. I can get another on craigs for cheap.
Met up with a guy and sold my stock shocks for $10 ea, yay money. Met with him at the local Honda meet up at a Culver's on the highway. I haven't been out cruising yet since it was nice out this year... so many nice cars out. There was a guy with a Ferrari F40 showing up us Hondas, and some like 17 year old kid had like a '68 Nova. WTF? Can't wait to have more of this car done especially engine wise, then I'll have something to show and to take out!

Ah that's kool tho...there aren't a whole lot of civic people down here in Tejas (that's not a typo for those of u who never took Spanish in HS) so i don't really have anyone to talk to about my car ya kno...and meets down here are always dominated by like S2000's, new Challengers and Camaros, hot rods, rad rods, brand new Civic Si's ...etc
Well my update isn't related directly to my car, affects it though, and I'm pretty pumped.
I turn 18 May 30th, and I graduate this year, so my parents are getting me a big present. I've been looking on craigs for a new bigger tool chest since I'm long out of room, and I took over my Dad's too, but they're expensive as hell. Was thinking about buying my friends dads Matco for 1k, but I was looking in to the Harbor Freight tool chests and everyone says they're as good if not better than Craftsman, Snap-On, Mack, etc. So I went and looked at them with my dad and he said that they will buy me the bottom roller and top as a birthday/graduation gift. I'll still probably get some little stuff, but that'll be the biggins. They are going to pick it up this month once they come in, can't wait. Got a SUPER good deal on it too! Retail at $500 for bottom, $400 for top. On sale for $400 for bottom, $300 for top. Using 20% off coupon on each puts it to $560 for both. 13 drawer bottom, 9 drawer top, it is pretty sweet. Going to get the side attachment eventually that has more drawers. My dad and I are going to redo the garage this summer too. They want to move and my dad wants a 3 car garage... but I don't know if we will end up moving. So the plans to basicaly make the garage sealed up, insulated, organized, and heated for my projects. I can't wait to get this thing though. Take my small one to school next year and leave the big one for home... for now.

Haven't updated this in a while... haven't done anything ha. I did mill my own front license plate relocator so it is off to the side now.
I paint/sandblast/shave/clean valve covers for people. So I figure I can throw up pictures of the ones I do. My current one I'm doing is shaving a d15 and painting it gold. Works out good because I have the paint from doing mine, and in my fee for doing it is paint. So I'm making a few extra bucks off this one. Shaved it today... have to see if he wants anything besides just the letters taken off. Turning out good though!
