nice :) and I'll look at vids when I get home...

 

what is your goal? more peak power/torque?...or more in midrange?...

 

what kind of header? like if you get a good hybrid one, you'll have low end peak torque and more peak gains

 

how much of a drop?

Posted

Vids are the same as I've already posted, except for the sound system vid, which prob sucks anyways. Cheap vid cam....Lemme know if you've got a sub and can hear it well, but I doubt it. :sleep2:

 

Definitely looking for midrange...In this car, 5K - redline only lasts a couple seconds at best.

 

The V2 Intake is supposed to supply more power throughout the entire range.

 

The Eibach coilovers are a 1.4-2.6 drop....but I'd keep it as high as possible.

 

And I already have an Eibach anti-roll kit just waiting to go on.

 

 

No idea for header...I'll take suggestions...

And once I get all of this out of the way (hopefully by end of March), I'll take suggestions on what to do next...maybe wheels...and I'm thinking about black housing headlights, but can't find any for an 05, plus I'm pretty happy with the stock ones anyway. 8)

awesome Linkin Park!! :D sound quality isn't too bad in the vid.

 

good plans... :D

 

for '05 just an example...might find it cheaper...

 

as for the header...if I find it I'll let you know :)

Posted

is that the same system you had in your other civic?

Posted

Yea lemme know if you know of a header.

 

is that the same system you had in your other civic?

Yea, minus the over the top plexi case, the 350 amp for the speakers, and the cap.

not good to buy parts with a loan or credit card. then you need the card or loan for somethign else and you won't have it.

Posted

Credit card just allows me to get stuff now rather than in a month. It will still probably take me a little while to figure out exactly what I want to get and where to get it though...

 

So anyone got a link for a header...also looking for cheapest place to get Eibach coilovers?

 

Also what do you think of these?

Posted

not a bad lookin wheel. what size you looking for?

Posted

4-2-1 header

 

4-2-1 since you want mid range...and long small diameter tubes give midrange power too...and it's stainless :) it's just that it's expensive...

 

the rims, NIICE! would a photoshop help?

 

EDIT: dropping would make your car look even better :Donline stores Eibach and there is the local option too...

Posted

make sure when you order your header you check to make sure the whole thing is stainless, not just the tubes.

 

i got my eibachs from hpautoworks.com. that was like 5 years ago but they were the best prices i found for my car

Posted

^lol...Looks better too tho

 

Wheels 15-16"

 

Thanks Lina :thumbsup:

 

Why stainless Jordan?

EDIT: Also do you just have springs or full coilovers? And how much were they? I don't see any Eibach on that site. Tirerack has the full coilovers for just under $1000 (cheapest I can find)

Posted

if its not stainless steel then it will rust. unless youre getting the ceramic ones

Posted

IMO, I think it would look better not having one shiny thing in the engine bay, esp since the rest of the car will be either grey or black, including my cat-back.

 

Are you just saying that because you'd rather have it shiny and polished looking?

 

EDIT: could you find a black ceramic one to begin with?

Posted

personally i think it looks better. but if youre going for the ceramic look, dont spend extra to get stainless then ceramic over that

Posted

i'll suggest to get the stainless. i had a ceramic on my z6 and it started to peel off from the salt on the roads.
