Thoughts on the Civic Type R?
I kinda like the styling, but don't love it. Performance sounds good. Wouldn't buy it new, probably wouldn't buy it used, but would like to drive it. If it even comes state side. Hate all the red in the interior though, and not a fan of the wing. I think the Focus RS looks better, is AWD and if they were priced in the same ball park ($30k-ish +) would definitly go with the Ford of the two.

It's very rare, but sometimes I have a good idea. I've always liked MX-6's since I got hip to them during my KL swap research. But they are always rusted and beat to s*** around here. I should have mind on the road in a month or so.
That was my first thought too, but then after looking at it again, the fender flares are not different than on a WRX minus the vents on the top,
the black ground effects are somehwat similar to the factory option on the new 3 hatchback. Just on the more agressive styling side like the rest of the Civic.
The interior is just too red.
The wing isn't my favorite and would prefer something more subtle if anything, but then I realized I drove an MSP with a similar styled wing, just on a clearly defined sedan body not an inbetween hatch. Which now makes me think of how I hate the prius for being the weird in between sedan/hatch styling.
It's a WRX/Prius love child! The car is ruined!

Looking forward to tomorrow and fitting the mock up exhaust shrouds on Evan's car. Hopefully will be making some CF parts here in the next couple weeks. I think I might have enough material to make every panel for my car

My buddy from Akron and I go every year as its 10x better than the Columbus show. We will be up there Sunday.
Jessie's P5 is now up on craigslist for anyone who is interested in it.

That's all I need is another Protg lol. I would like a P5 though for daily. I have some rare disease called Protegeitis.
so my tire was bought and shipped via UPS from Vulcan Tire in eastern PA. It went to a sorting facility in Taylor, PA then to Harrisburg, PA ot St. Clairsville, OH (southeastern Ohio near the West Virginia border) to the Columbus facitlity in less then 24 hours! Talk about fast and efficient...Until they then send it to Indianapolis. Really UPS? You're 22 miles from the final destination and instead you send it 400 miles round trip first.
