It has a mostly full interior. Missing the little piece around the rear view mirror, some of the covers on the seat bolts, a few other odds and ends. The body is in good shape, no major dents just dinged panels. The full interior is in the garage, you can see all the ---- above the tach in my first Civic pic.

Video of it idling and blipping to 3k:

It holds fine right now, but if I downshift from 5th to 3rd at 50mph if I'm cruising and try to get on it the clutch smokes. So basically it's finished right now, but I can still drive around on it and do rippers and ----.

Just drive it around like that until you can afford to change it or it starts smoking it in 5th.

Exactly. And the only 5th gear action the car has seen in a year is passing at 50-70mph. Even at 50 it's easy to pass in 5th, damn it feels good to have enough torque to move .When I get a couple fat summer checks in I'll hook it up with an lsd clutch and either a light flywheel or have my stock one cut down to 11ish.

i was talking to a guy at the machine shop and he said youre better of buying afermarket one becouse factory ones are like 1,0000000000000000000 pounds to start with and it would cost just as much as a new flywheel to have it lightend to that low of a wieght..

I hear you on the 20g. Before I get into that I need to figure out this JAW once and for all, then wire up my 4bar, possibly purchase an Ectune license, get a clutch, then go to town on upping the boost. I've spiked 18psi before while trying to get my ching chong ebc working... that put the fear of God in me
