What's up Civic? Yeah, it finally got to the point where it was cheap enough, and the new cars coming out are getting faster, so I need to do something.

Anyway, how's playing doctor working out, or are you practicing yet?

O2CLS,

Where do you get your flex piped fix at and how much? Mine is all scraped up and it's leaking.

yeah i've had it since last weekend, feels a lot faster to me. Loving the standard tranny. Feels as sporty and tight stock as my TL did with all my suspension upgrades...sways, springs/shocks.

Already got some mods ordered, i'll be in the 13's with them put on according to other people's timeslips....another benefit, cheap to mod!

I need to do some clean up on the ports buy matching up to the gaskets.
Then it's off to the special finishing touches.

Where are you located?

The only place I've used for anything is a shop in Richardson called CTC Motorsports. Just east of TI on 75.

Okay just so i don't get ripped off too badly on smoking my headlights. About how much is an appropriate charge for smoking them?? I've worked with Jotech before and they were somewhat reasonable when installing my AEM CAI, but I didn't think they did body work. I'll check out intercrew.

Hey follow up:

I just called intercrew and they'll do it for 120.00. IMO that's a pretty reasonable price. Honestly i don't have the cojenes (espanol... the balls) to stick my headlights in an oven and hope they come out ok. I'm glad that I found a shop that actually knew what the process was. I think I've asked jotech before and they didn't know what I was talking about. Thanks again for the info. I'll keep yall posted about the results
