did you get some stock tail lights yet? build looks good so far.
Some different rims would look better also.

watisjdm · 04-09-2008, 07:39 AM

looks good so far

lower the car, stock tails, and smaller rims and it would be hotttt

steven_highet · 04-09-2008, 07:47 AM

Yeah def gonna loose those ebay BS taillights!! Rims i am shopping around for some 15"s not to sure what yet. I have a Rear Type R and Front Lip Kit for it. HAHA it is lowered just all the weight that is outta it at the moment has brought it up.

Just trying to get the motor, LSD, turbo kit, feuling and engine bay straight then will get onto the looks!

watisjdm · 04-09-2008, 08:06 AM

gotcha, yea well keep us updated

Sr420Det · 04-09-2008, 08:20 AM

This thing is going to be a beast, much love. Who the hell gives a shit about looks, it already looks ten times better than most civics. I wouldnt spend a dime in the body, thats just more money that can go under the hood and the rims look great.

steven_highet · 04-09-2008, 08:41 AM

So pretty and so strong!!

Old LS/Vtec Setup

Sr420Det · 04-09-2008, 04:45 PM

so what you are saying is you would bang a chick with a nice body and an ugly face? the rims i'm sure are cast and heavy. Something lightweight and forged would be more beneficial. You are on the wrong website if you think people don't care about looks.

Morasso · 04-09-2008, 08:08 PM

Build looks good man! NC

HAHA Hell yeah ugly chicks with nice bodys is what its all about!... Not... Just trying to get my fun first then the looks. But she sure aint ugly!! Just needs some fine tuning!

TypeSiR · 04-11-2008, 12:43 AM

Is this your Knock Sensor,if so i think you might want to rethink the location of it?

steven_highet · 04-11-2008, 05:23 AM

How so?

TypeSiR · 04-18-2008, 04:45 PM

because you have drilled and tapped it in the wrong place, its not supposed to come through the block and be touching into your coolant areas... if you look at the pic, in the upper right hand corner is the material and area you were supposed to drill and tap for the knock sensor...

Thanks man! Its really is a well put together kit. I must say i did have a few fitment issues but ken at peakboost has been great about fixing then. The wait for the kit was the hardest took almost 3 months to get it.
