    K20 motor swap in the Civic? Get coilovers if you want it lowered, then you'll at least get a handling improvement.

    Your color looks like Nemesis' WRX in those pics. Red in daylight but turns to orange under the right lighting conditions.

    hehe i was kidding about the bags but yes i am definatly going to go coilovers once i get a new DD. every road i drive on back and forth from work is under construction and there are pot holes everywhere.


    ***edit***

    No swap yet.... prob next spring for that. i gotta get some bills paid first. Instead of the K20 i think i may frankenstein it and go K24 block w/ K20 head.... maybe

    otherwise i'll just swap in a K24

    04-05... its 1 of 2 lips they make. That is the Type-R lip.... there is also a Type-M but they were sold out of that one.

    Its ABS plastic and the lip came to me cracked... had to melt some soft plastic to the back of it, bondo the front and then paint. hopefully it will hold up. Kaminari makes a lip too but its fairly expensive.

    Type-M....

    I got the lip yesterday and this is what i found when i unwrapped it from the bubble wrap...



    I dropped it off to a friend that travels to different dealerships doing touchup paint. Luckaly he was at Gwinnett Subaru not far from my work. He was able to get it fixed and had it painted and was dry by the time i got off. I was PISSED when i found that crack. Im never buying anything ABS again thats for sure.

    molded would definatly be hot.... unfortunatly can't do it yet though.... gotta wait until its paid off and get a new DD. Once i get a new DD then im gonna slam it, mold it, and shave it.

    well... unfortunatly there are no mods to help me not suck at life.

    Thank you for the comment on the car though.... that is what means the most to me. Ever since i bought the car i had an idea of what i wanted it to look like and being apart of Importatlanta and getting familer with the scene has really made things clearer for me. Sometimes you just gotta take the shit talking, flaming, and discouragement and turn it into something positive.... just gotta learn from it. I really don't care if people like me anymore... i have my friends. I just wanna eventually one day have a really nice car that i can show. Im obsessed lol its like an art i guess.
