Got an exhuast (downpipe back) system and some eibach pro kit springs installed on the civic last night. Ride height went down about an inch, still a comfortable ride. Wasn’t so sure in the blue tips of the exhaust but they’ve grown on me quite a bit and I like them now.

Got the 110mm shocks for the rear ends of my No Preps.
Installed 1 hole Traxxas Pistons with 60w oil and got them installed.
Set of them in Green and Blue for the other 2 No Preps.

Agreed. That is a stunning car you have there Topher. The exhaust tip is a nice detail.

Thanks gents! I appreciate the kind words.

A little more info on it... I also have an intake kit in there, this one the filter is still up high like a short ram but it’s in an enclosed box (top is lexan!) with an induction snorkel on the bottom. This helps a lot with the vegas heat. Also running a tune on it that ups the boost by 3 pounds (or 6 pounds in sport mode) and it’s just a blast to drive. The tune made it feel like a different car. The tuner comes with a handy screen that lets me monitor various data points from the ecu.

Never been a fan of a Type-R, but this looks good!

Every time I see a car with the flame like tips, I don’t like them, but they work on the Type-R[emoji106]

Thank you, this one is just an SI though not a type R. My buddy has a type R, hoping to get together with him and another friend of mine that has an SI sometime soon for some pics.

Da da duuum. Honda vs VW.

I do like that SI though. All SIs (for that) matter. I remember when you bought it earlier this year. I was hoping it was a mid ‘90s egg one as the pic loaded.

Just picked up my home brew manifold from the machine shop. I cut and fit it with a 4.5” hand grinder. Sounds like it should be bad but it came out...decent. He welded it out and decked both flanges. Not the most (or at all) efficient but will do for a daily beater. Goal is 30psi to 7000rpm. It’s a load of fun if you like retarded amounts of torque steer, having to dodge every pothole and speed bump, a little bit of rain may as well be ice, and/or blowing doors off of, but not limited to, pony cars.

I literally just came inside from wire wheeling the BBs off of it from the welder. Gave it a quick test fit and called it quits. Got a HS football game to attend tonight. It’s game 2 of state playoffs. 11-0 thus far and lowest scoring was still in the 30s. Highest I saw this season was in the 50s. Lol. 99% sure they recruit.

I was using the cast one but it has 2 studs I can’t get the nut torqued down on. Plus the turbo rubs the firewall insulation a little bit. Mine is 3/8” shorter.

Basically done with stock piling now. Maybe one or two more items to go yet. Then it’s time to pull the trigger on the next kit.

I bought a 2014 Patriot Latitude, new, in 2014, I love it. It's fast for a 4cyl, it has decent get up & go for passing, mine gets 28mpg, I call it my little sportscar. Handles great, full time 4wd, but has a lockout for 4lo.

Mine is a "Sport" model. I like it so far. It is a bit noisy at highway speeds. I was stunned to see it had crank windows, manual door locks and manual mirrors. I'm 49, so those things aren't a big deal to me. However, on the test drive, when we got back to the dealership, I told my wife and my step daughter to make sure they locked their doors, as it didn't have central locking/keyless entry. My 14 year old was looking quizzically at the door and then asked "How do you lock it?" :lmao:
