I then decided to change my FMIC setup and went with Altered Customs FMIC kit.. the core is 30 x 8 x 3.5. I decided to dress up the engine bay alittle bit..with this setup my CAI had to be changed to an SRI. I also added some Denso Spark Plugs while i had everything apart.

sweet man. What #'s are you putting down ?

im putting the car on a dyno next month hopefully..ill post the numbers and various pics and dyno sheets then.. track numbers are going to have to wait till the end of the month, theres a show at NED ( New England Dragway) and ill be showing/hopefully getting some good numbers in the 1/4 mile.
 
looks ****** awesome!! second last picture is just the sex. only thing that ruined the picture is the weirdo in the first one haha jks :p

time for a tint tho?
 
your car looks like my car. way to be origional... i would put the roll eyes smiley here if i remembered what it was...













jk love it.
 
thanks guys..heres that smilie u were lookin for zinger002 haha :rolleyes:

tint is on the list for next year ms6acton, and yes i do look really young and weird in that first pic (lol2) i was only 19.
 
yeah, needs tint. and dont be a wussy either, get dark tint. i have uber dark tint and i have had 0 trouble from the "law". my buddy got his civic tinted just noticably and that day got a warning. next day got a ticket lol.
 
its going to be 20% rear 25% front.. maybe darker we'll see.. i shouldnt get to much crap for it since my cousins a local cop.

well it depends on the cop right. their mood can affect how they handle a situation. just like any person in another setting.
 
Nice and well done. Only thing I wanted to ask is about the intercooler hanging a little low below the grill. Did you cut the crash bar? It just look weird to me.
 
I see that Zaino did some good work for you in that last pic (headbang)

haha yes it sure did..it works great on dark colored cars!!! i love it

nice work on the thread...car looks amazing! ;)

Thanks Mark!! as i said before it took me 3 hours lol, and theres still more to come.


That is a great looking Speed.

Thanks!!

i actually get that question alot..the crash bar isnt cut at all..which was a descision made by me and my local body tech, its there for a reason, that reason being safety in a front end crash, so its there to stay lol..and to add to that my personal feeling is that removing the bar would make the car unsafe from a unibody standpoint as it is tied into it, so if u auto x it or drive it hard u could twist the unibody with the bar removed or cut.


edit: found the TIP pic and a few others.. enjoy!

I understand. That's why I've been contemplating on whether I should get an FMIC or not. I really don't want to cut the crash bar for that reason so that's why I think I'll just go with an upgraded TMIC and go FMIC when I go big turbo or something.
