Re:Honda lover newbie!!

Re:Honda lover newbie!!
 

Try Jackin with your lefty...Bout the same!

Re:Honda lover newbie!!
 

nice! like the right side drive too. Nice rims. I like how you seem proud that your 0-60 was in 9 sec too..true honda lover

Re:Honda lover newbie!!
 

I love right side drive! How long has that muffler been on that car? My buddy's muffler was close to his bumper (but not that close) and it got melted all to ----. Might want to check it out and see how hot it gets back there.

Re:Honda lover newbie!!
 

you caught me :( It has kinda got melted cos it we slightly leaning against it, dont matter as im gettin a lip kit anyways :)

Re:Honda lover newbie!!
 

LOL. I was just trying to give you a heads up before the ass end of your car was dripping on the blacktop. LOL

Re:Honda lover newbie!!
 

RHD is awsome! god I love it!



turbo that fucker! generaly the same turbo set-up can be used for either the D15 and the D16. so turbo now, and then get your other engine. and a mini-me, well, that would be really easy to do also.

Re:Honda lover newbie!!
 

lol Redline, thx :D

Sccaeg, everyone in the US loves RHD for some reason and everyone in the UK dont have the same fantasies as LHD. Weird...

Yeah just need some money now to do it, damn I hate this world. Why cant everything just be free!??! ??? :'(

Re:Honda lover newbie!!
 

Euro-rice is about 2 years behind the us, give them a few years and they will understand that clear tail lights are garbage ;)

Other than that, pretty clean little civic, since its rhd everyone gets wood on here about that.

Re:Honda lover newbie!!

Re:Honda lover newbie!!

https://imagehost.vendio.com/preview...2d_rw_y_m1.jpg

it look different from stock cause there is no amber part but at least its not show-off like to clear taillight

Re:Honda lover newbie!!
 

WOW! those are nice :o

Re:Honda lover newbie!!
 

well sorry guys didnt know you were from the uk! ???
ive also got a HMT on a ef9 b16a1!
i wish i had a digy cam then i could show you all my creation, but living in the uk i have no money when i have to pay nearly 90 pence a litre, and i use £40 a week just to get to work :'(
but then you guys from the uk already know that ;D

Re:Honda lover newbie!!
 

Nice, i love that RHD, also i just noticed that power antena in the quarter panel, something you don't see in USDM EG's... i like it!

Re:Honda lover newbie!!
 

hehe yup, I am gonna paint my lights like that :D

I want these lights tho,

http://www.red-raw.net/Buddy2rear.jpg

There the same but crystal like, well classy and not rice at all :D It still keeps the lines of the car and the civic style :)

90p a litre, only 79.9 down here :D

Selling my laptop so I can get that bodykit (BuddyClub2), colour coded, smooth boot, carbon OEM bonnet and front diffuser.

Will look exactly like this but in green when done. Then comes the turbo next year :D

Re:Honda lover newbie!!
 

You're gonna get flamed for choosing a body kit and tails before a turbo.. but atleast you're choosing a kit that isn't too extreme. Good luck with the body work and turbo when you do it ;)

Re:Honda lover newbie!!
 

Only the UK guys will understand why a 19 year old guy with no noclaims and 3 points on his licence, has not got a turbo on his Civic yet. COS I WILL NOT GET INSURED!!

Styling is cheaper, no maintenence, no high jumps in insurance prices etc.

In the US its slightly different :P
