carlo: any park is fine, but we should aim for BBQ pits and benches/tables.

kevin and lito: XS headers dont have the CARB number on them so they arent smog legal in cali.
So your driving to my house and parking the TL here and i'll take you right? Im thinking be here at 8:30?

I wouldnt bother putting a header on a Civic if it isnt an Si. I dono if XS headers are illegal, but if its easy to see them, be careful. My header is behind the engine so its almost invisible for cops

not even a plain civic w/a swapped k20??? idk man, those can pretty much pull hella hard...

true, but there's quite a few folks here in cali and even here on Azine that have 'em...one comes to mind hella quick..phillip's (lippstuh) is using those in his car (yea, the one on the bm that's for sale for like $16k)...plus, there's always a way to get around that "smog issue"..at a small cost...OR I can always install the ct ones that i'll be getting... and not even worry coz ct's are carb legal!

some before and afters

Before:




After:




I found out that whoever opened them up and blacked them out didnt exactly copy the 03's design.
Original 03's:

Mine:

hope this doesnt effect the illumination of the turn signals/corner lights but i like it better. It gives it a even darker look. Maybe even one-of-a-kind?
who's the pic whore now kevin?

I didnt make the lights, i bought them opened already. I wish i knew or had the guts to put my headlights into the oven lol
you got my PM right kev?

I bought them for 60. They were opened up so i was kinda iffy. I would have no worries if they were real 03s.

Yeah the other ones are mainly for looks. Save your money and just buy the crank pulley. Just don't leave it in the garage like me.

Dude thats even more expensive then pedals. Dont spend 200 for some visors. Spend that money on something else. Visors are too subtle for me to spend 200 on.

K-pro is a chip that has to be placed inside the ECU. It turns a car into a tuner, literally. With k-pro, I have an absolute control over the engine; timing, ignition, idling speed, fuel cut, rev limiter, boost, nitrous, vtec switchover, fuel/ail ratio, datalogging. All of that is available with k-pro. It makes aftermarket cams and high boost (up to 15 PSI on k-series engines) very safe and efficient. Unfortunately, TSX's ecu cannot have a k-pro chip inside, so Hondata came up with a unique solution. They place k-pro in one of the ecu's that can have it and then hook that ecu to TSX's ecu. This way traction control, gauges, AC and other things are controlled by TSX's ECU, but the engine is run by the secondary ecu with k-pro in it.

No updates sorry.
Me and my friend were just talking to onr of our friends on saturday abotu tats. We were saying how you shouldn't get a spontaneous tattoo and that it should be something that you know that you really want. You should be looking into it and stuff way before you get it, cause it's permanent! Soooo i think you need to start looking into what you want.
