Hello From Central NJ
Hello all,
I just traded my 2005 Civic ES1 (Sedan LX) for a 97 Acura CL 2.2 liter.
The trade was due to a bad head swap along with an automatic transmission that was about to go, also because I wanted a stick shift. I had also had damage on both my front and rear bumper. So I traded with the owner of a friends auto body shop.
On my Civic I focused mainly on the sound system:
16inch HFP Enkei Rims
2.25in axelback exhaust
HKS High-power muffler
Megan Racing resonated testpipe
DC 4-1 header
Head swap to Vtec d17a2
130amp alternator
Rewired engine grounds and power leads with 4 gauge
Larger Honda Odyssey sized battery
Accord Horn
Infinity Reference component speakers in front
Infinity Reference full range speakers in rear
Pioneer x710 GPS iPod bluetooh headunit
Kicker 07cvr154 15inch subwoofer
Huuuuuuge bandpass box
800 watt RMS MA Audio sub amp
300 watt rms Alpine speaker amp

This is what I have now:

Right now I am in the process of replacing the clutch (suych a pain in the ass), fly wheel, brake pads, and rotors. This is what I have planned as of now:
