Sorry i have been whoring my car so much lately, but I got a very rare window in the weather and thought I should take it- might be the last pics for a while until this nightmare thaws!

Got nice enough weather to get the car home from the shop yesterday! It is so nice to drive it again- the exhaust sounds just about perfect to me! Here is a list of the changes since it went in for work/storage in december:

Rear Main Seal
Axle Seals
Rear Bumper Repair
H&R 5mm TRAK Spacers
JP Performance Headers, Y-Pipe, and 3" Catback
Sparco Torino 2 Seats on Sparco sliders and modified corbeau brackets
Sparco Floor Mats
Autometer Dual Gauge Pod
AEM UEGO Wideband Gauge
Megan Oil Pressure Gauge
Rolled Fenders
Gram Lights 57S 18x8.5 40 Offset
Khumo Ecsta SPT 225/40/18 Tires

I hope everyone can enjoy these pics- getting them taken was a nightmare! :lol: I kept getting stuck in my parking lot because they never plow and it was flooded with snow, ice, and slush, so I ended up driving to a lot across the street to take the pics. Once I got there I had to clean the whole car in the wind with rain threatening the whole time. It was the most work Ive ever done to take pics, thats for sure :lol: I took them quick myself today because of the storm coming, so Ill have a lot better ones in the spring when my brother is available to take them. Anyway, here they are- enjoy!

The only thing I might change is the muffler- the tip is kind of small, Id be happier with an Apexi World Sport- but Im pretty broke at the moment :lol: Comments welcome!

looks great! ... 2x more agressive with the new wheels, IMO

one of the guys i was with last nite @ one of the local meets has a World Sport on his Civic and said they are usually deep & throaty, but not loud at all

^ haha yeah you did. It was for my gen 3, but I decided to part like a week later so I sold it. I was gonna throw it on the solara but decided to go with the greddy, should have kept the damn thing haha.

Yeah ive heard that too lenny, I think the magnaflow might be a little loud for my taste. It really isnt bad at all though, sounds pretty clean. Ill have to get a clip soon!
