Default Went For My First BOOSTED Drive!! (PICS!!)

OK, well, I 've been a member of this board for about a year and today I finally got my Civic out on the road with boost. It was nice, at first, but then my day went to ----. She hit 6 psi 2 times and then blew off a charge pipe. Oh well, I got to feel it pull a little bit right? It was all worth it. So, anyway, I was going to my local shop to have it all finished up, i.e. get the rest of my downpipe made and have it dyno-tuned ( www.xoticmotorsports.com ) So, I get to the shop and I meet the guy there that is doing the tuning, Chris, he's a cool ----------er, he works there. The other guy that I talked to on the phone didn't know that I needed the rest of my D/p made, he only thought I needed tuning. Problem is that they only have 2 lifts and there was no way that Chris could get the 2 cars that were on the lifts off today. So, I gotta take it back later this week or next weekend. This gives me some time to fix the charge pipe that blew off. I guess my HMT project is at about 92% complete. I was hopeing for 100% today, but patience has its virtues, right? I'm gonna go out and snap some pics of my install and post them up. I just want to thank all of my HMT bretheren for being there to help out when I needed it.

Thanks, theres a few ricey things on it, but most of the rice is from a few years ago, and I haven't gotten around to de-ricing it all the way yet, the HMT was more important at this time.

I just went out and washed it after taking those pics, so its a little shinier now. It was looking rough, especially because right after taking those pics, a pterydactol flew overhead and took a dump on it .
