No, I never started one. Was waiting on my engine build to start one. Throwing that turbo and an FMIC on the original engine. I've done a 6 speed swap, PP520 injectors and a tune. Moding these cars can be addictive, have fun with it.

Nice! Love the silver and black combo. Back in the day when I had a Scion TC I did the silver/black combo thing too.

The stock block is pretty tuff. You can easily double the HP and it will live.

Looks great!

What did you use to black out the roof? I've been thinking about getting the carbon fiber vehicle wrap and doing my hood, roof, and deck lid on the civic

I'll see what he can get me. I think he may do some on his camry so I'll see when he's ready. Sometimes with those specialty vinyls though you still can't get a great price on them.

You gotta lower it! The black hub caps really give it the 4x4 look and show off the wheel gap.
