Customizers.....List your mods here........

Intermezzo, is there a reason why you have a Brembo brake kit?

I guess my main initial motivation was that it seemed to be one of the less common mods people did to Civics. I haven't even installed them yet because they probably will not even fit into my stock wheels.....let alone visible.



For a car with my power and weight, $1700 is an admittedly huge expense that really isn't necessary from a performance standpoint. However, I recently drove a friend's Civic with the kit and it's pretty amazing just how much more braking power you get.



I think the drilled and slotted rotors and smooth calipers will look nice with 5-spoke 18" rims. Stock Civic calipers and rotors on the other hand, are puny and almost detract from the aesthetics of your rims.

On a Civic? yeah...maybe! :)



But considering some of the other mods I've seen....



I guess I just wasn't crazy about the way stock rotors/calipers looked. To say they detract from the rim's appearance might have been too strong....

H&R Sport springs

Cold Air Intake

This all comes to about $5000, NOT including labor. But, I bought the car with all the mods on it except for the last three appearance mods listed. I really have only put about $300 into it so far, but I'm saving up for new wheels, suspension and an audio system. So I got lucky and found a great deal.

Heh....my MR2 is just getting started, so all I really have to show for it right now is an expensive engine, but here goes:



Ported & polished head

HKS 264 cams (degreed)

HKS camgears

Ferrea 1mm OS Stainless valves

HKS valvesprings

Eagle Rods

JE Pistons 9:1 CR .020 overbore

HKS 1.4mm HG

K&N intake

Greddy sidemount IC

Blitz Nur-Spec exhaust (running 3" from the exhaust manifold all the way back - no cats)

GT25 turbo

EGR blockoff plates



Also have some beefier rubber on there - Racing Hart C2s 16x7 up front (215/50/16) and 16x8 out back (245/45/16). Also have HKS gauges - boost/EGT/oil pressure, and a Blitz DSBC.



In the near future, I'll be looking at a standalone, though undecided which one (Autronic is the front runner at the moment, or Haltech E11), suspension work (JIC coilovers ideally, but probably TRD bushings/KYB shocks/H&R springs), stronger brakes (OEM 93 spec), and a host of other little things I wanna do:



Larger throttle body

air to water intercooler

water injection

6 point cage

race seats with real harnesses



All kinds of fun stuff...



At the moment I'm pushing a hair under 300whp at 15psi, but for daily driving I turn the boost down to 8psi which leaves me in the 230whp range - I run outta fuel in the upper RPMs and start to lean out, which eventually would leave my pistons like the JE posted earlier in the thread.



In the long run, I'm hoping to push 400+ at the wheels on race gas, and about 350 on pump gas - it's nice to dream, and it'll take me a year or two to get there, but that's life!
