Nice! I'm running a DC Sports CAI with DC headers, Megan downpipe, and full DC cat-back.. I needed to install the silencer, I was waking the neighbors lol. Next week I'm installing an intake manifold so i'm interested to see how loud it is then lol

CS2 lip was delivered, now I'm ready to tackle on my front end transformation this weekend, lots to do.

OEM USDM Honda NHBP headlights, OEM USDM Honda base fog light surrounds, OEM JDM Honda Ion fog lights, OEM Canadian Honda hood deflector, Seibon carbon fiber Mugen style front grill, CS2 lip chin and while the bumper is off, Hella twin horn upgrade.

Wish I had the money for the Q45 gattling HID retrofit now but that's on hold for a few months.

I hit 100,000 miles. Can't take all the credit, I bought it used with 65,000. Also found the carpet soaked in the back. Time to gut the interior and read all the threads about water leaks. Yeah😢. Also have most of the pieces for the rear disc brake swap, just need to order calipers.

I was getting lots of water in my trunk, too. It rusted my jack and messed with the dynamat i had laid down earlier. Cant be too mad though, it is an econo car after all, I guess.

Give the leak thread one good read. It's the two top rubber strips that cover the cracks. Seal it up with sealant and it's taken care of. Easier fix for the annoyance than I thought.

Are you going to be using these brackets:
https://scarebird.com/index.php?rout...product_id=166

I wonder if it'll work using the larger EP3 rear rotor with RSX rear calipers. Did that on previous Integra and Civic but those had OEM rear disc already. Was a cheap OEM BBK upgrade.

Yes, the scarebird brackets showed up on Wednesday. I would think so, if the EP3 was a direct bolt on to an Integra/Civic...

Today I made it haul around concrete edgers in "box truck mode."

added new wheels on my GD3, rolled the fenders but it desperately needs the fenders pulled, rear tires rubs like crazy on bumps on the road. Today I'll be cutting off the rear tabs and pull the fenders out or hammering it out more hehehe. by the way, how do you guys add photos on here? I keep trying but it won't let me copy, paste.

you need to upload them to photo bucket and then copy the link with the button that looks like a mountain and the sun.

You can create an imgur account, upload photos, and post the links here.

What wheels/tires did you put on? Size and specs please! I am planning to get the Advanti S1 15x7 wheels with 35mm offset and mount 195/55R15 tires on them. I am afraid there will be rubbing so I am waiting on some good advice from people on here.

I parked my car last night and came out this morning to find that a spider had figured out how to foil the intricacies of how to overcome the Mugen side vent obstacle and get into my car and set up shop on my dashboard. I figure with how hot it is here now it won' last long inside the cabin.
