Vinnyp's ongoing project.
Hello everyone ive just joined your forum because i own a 1995 civic esi (im english) d16z6 vtec, and i was looking on ebay for a complete turbo kit. As it will probably cost me around £650 GBP, i started doing some research into cheaper alternatives and stumbled across this site and decided to join because it has all the information i need in one place which is excellent!
Im not going to post any stupid questions like what turbo should i get blah blah blah, im just going to post some pictures of what ive got as i get it and fit etc.
Heres some pics of my car, if they dont work ill post some links.......
Thats all ive got at the moment when i start adding boost ill get some more pics up.
P.S. Well done on making a fantastic forum!

- Pictures of your car. Include a little information about your ride. Do not tell us about stereos, tuenar rimz, aftermarket plug wires or MSD ignition systems that don't do anything, bodykits, or how you painted the car a neon color so you could get assrammed by gay men. Under no circumstances use the term "JDM." None of these things matter, to us or anyone who has a fast car.
- Post ****. **** should comprise at least 50% of your n00b post. If you think you have failled in any of the above criteria, or you understand exactly how worthless you are to the average HMTer, then you can save your skin by posting more ****.
- Fresh **** content is a must. We have all seen Raven Reilly. **** you have made yourself is guaranteed to be fresh. Drag home strange girls every week and make them get freaky for the camera. Getting random women to pose naked or in underwear with "HMT" written on them in Magic Marker is a sure fire way to let people know you're serious about turbochargers. Is your mom a MILF, or your sister hot?
- In fact, don't ever stop posting ****. Start a "{your name here}'s **** Thread" thread in the ****/Fab forum and update it every so often.
2) Use the search function before you ask any questions. Caveats and rules of thumb for making threads:
- If you've searched, and have the slightest suspicion that your question is less than worthy, posting **** along with the question can save you.
- Make sure you title the post "NSFW" when you post ****. Pissing off an admin who's surfing HMT at work is a good way to undo any good will you've done by posting the ****.
3) Some people are going to be rude to you for your first year, and/or first few hundred posts. This is normal. Advice on how to deal with this:
- Do not lose your temper; while it is acceptable to be rude back, no one wants to listen to emo whiny-whiny bullshit.
- You are encouraged to not be rude back unless you can do a very good job with it.
- We like to see major ownage; e-stalking of myspace or photobucket accounts leaning to derogatory photoshopping/mspainting of HMTers or their loved ones, and for god's sake keep it fresh - no one wants to hear a plain jane "---- you!," you are performing for an audience so you better have some damn good lines.
4) After your first year and/or first few hundred posts, you find that a large number of people are still rude to you. You find that this does not bother you in the slightest, and in fact you like it a lot.
Welcome home, brother!

Re: HELLO NEW MEMBER HERE!
Thanks everyone for the replies. I just thought i should tell you all a little bit about myself, firstly my name is vinny and i live in england, this is my second civic the first being a lsi (d15) which i planned on turbo'ing but sadly crashed it before i had chance. Im 21 years old and i have had my current car for around a year and now i think its time to build up my own turbo kit, im currently looking for a mazda626 in a scrap yard for the turbo, and i am also looking for a ford mondeo diesel intercooler (fm). As for the downpipe and manifold im going to fabricate as much as i can, and for the charge pipes im going to cross that bridge when i come to it. I am planning on using 450cc injectors, but i need to do a little bit more research first before i start buying things and potentially wasting money.
Should be pretty beasty when its finished ill keep you all updated.
