Conversation I just had with my roommate when I was reading your last post:
Him: "That's a hilarious gif."
Me: "Yeah, this guy always has funny avatars."
Him: "civicdrivr?"
Me: "Yeah. He doesn't actually drive a Civic, though."
Him: "Does he drive an Acura?"
Me: "Uh... not really."
Him: "Well, what does he drive?"
Me: "A Scion."
Him: "Oh. Fail."
Favorite mod so far?

Favorite mod? Tires, hands down.
Damn straight, and Ill post another:
BTW, I love the shifting feel even more now. Its smooth and solid and the throws are noticeably quicker. My only gripe is there is a slight rattle from it at high RPMs. Someone else on the forum has the same issue, so Im going to see what BPS has to say.

Let's see. Your name is civicdrivr. Your Civic has been in pieces for 5,7,10 years?
You are on an Acura forum but you have not driven your Acura for 6+ months?
Sounds right.
(for reference My name is e30cabrio, have not driven the cabbie in 4 years, my last Acura was totaled more than a year ago and the one I drove is more than 2 years gone)
lol

Looks good Morgan!
I have no idea what youre seeing. You must have dildos on the brain...Let's see. Your name is civicdrivr. Your Civic has been in pieces for 5,7,10 years?

How many people that post in Auto News/Car Talk/Ramblings still actually drive a Honda product? T'
They look pretty good, but Ive been eyeing these 
I like how their caliper bracket incorporates the brake ducting attachment. I believe the kit in this picture is the Sprint kit, running 299mm rotors. The Endurance kit uses 325mm rotors. Both save weight, the smaller of the two saves about 20lbs while the other saves about 10. The downside? Cost. The Spring kit is $2100. The Endurance kit is obviously more. Im waiting until something hits the market for the rear axle before getting something. I'd also like an upgraded master cylinder to keep pedal pressure.

Oh, and I really failed this morning. I spent 2.5hrs washing the car last night in preparation for Cars and Coffee this morning, and I slept through my alarm 
Ill still take pics this weekend, they just wont be with exotics

...was that the parts you were waiting for?
Har har. I actually had my alarm set for 530 so I could wax, clean the windows, and put on tire shine. But....yea.Ive had the knob since June, I dont really remember posting anything about it though
The shifter is one of the mods. I think Im waiting for two more. Maybe its only one....I forget.Its spelled TeRD. Get it right
Whoops Meko, you posted before I deleted the post. I had to delete my update because I noticed that Photobucket fucked up my upload settings when they switched to the new site design (and now I cant locate that specific setting). Once my membership is up Im switching to Flickr.
MODS - please update to thread title to civicdrivr's TC Build Thread - Update Page 66
I finally gave in and ordered the clear corner lights and chrome marker bulbs.
Sleeping for the night

Thanks, but the lights in the headlight housing are actually the DRLs/highbeams. Im running four bulbs for the highs; the two Nokyas and the two bixenons. I cant wait to get foglights though. They should be available in January.
I see, didn't notice that before
I belive this is it?
Would look nice

Yep those are the OEM fogs. A few people in the states already have them, but Im sure theyre importing them. I'd rather wait until they are available here so the prices hopefully come down a bit.
