The evolution of my ride...
As you know this site is not friendly to our wallets. Here are some pics of my ride through the months. Sorry some pics are not that great - iphone pics

Just home from the dealer


Type-S tails and 35% Tint all around


Got intake, spacer and pulley put in


Lowered the ride with Tein SS and EDFC


Picked up some rims off of Terry here on the board


Then my intake snapped at the weld


So I got a V2


Last night got my A-Spec kit put on with Type-S rear, ATLP Quads, and RV6 J-pipe and Test pipe




This is how my car looks now




Going to pay off my credit cards and then hit up JnC

Not sure off the top of my head maybe just a dyno jet, Ryan is the tunner done a few track cars for people around the bay area... They ran a few civic hatch's last weekend 400 + Whp ...

I can find out and setup up something for you or friends let me know...

How about a photoshoot at cats eye? You guys see the remodeled parking lot? There would be the horizon in the back. Or not because we gotta have a secluded place?

Excellent job by Tech3 once again. I like the way your ride is turning out. I wanna hear how the V2 and quads sound like. A meet of bay area TLs would be sweet. It's been long overdue since the last WDP photo shoot.

I think Tech3 has a dyno jet.

No worries about how far he will take care of you as you can see from WDP415 car. I don't have any current pic's i can really post because never took to many...I think i need to have winston , tech3proformance, ca drop my car a little bit lower like that. Do you scrap alot in sf wdp415? Man i am scarred to rip off the ATLP jpipe =/

I am not WDP TL but i would be down for a photo session in about two weeks... We should develope a Bay Area meet thread anyone want to start?
