Injen intake from his type R.He installed new one and he gave me this for free:

He is a mechanic and we discuss about the progress of my civic..Whatever i wanna change on my civic if he can do it he will do it for free and if he brings me some parts ill only pay a friendly price for the parts he is working for free only on my civic :) Thats nice cause he makes me stop thinking about part price+mechanic's payment= installed part :)This Monday he'll be working on my car a general check up + he will try to get that air intake on if it fits.Cheers :D

Trying to find some JDM ones the ones that come with stock civic and they're selling em more expensive that the other Aftermarket ones


Dude, it's your car. If you like those lights then get them! Don't let other people tell you what you should or shouldn't get. I personally kinda like the aftermarket ones myself. :thumb:

Well im asking to get more opinions only for serious matters like my car f.ex maybe someone has something to tell me about the aftermarkets i like,some advantages or drawbacks of those lights..ill get some Aftermarket ones but now im thinking how to spent my money..work is going down the hill,my GF got fired and now im spending money like i have a family anyway i think the girl that i love is above the honda i ride right?
I got like 400 euros to spent until i get paid again(in 20 days that is) either ill save the money and go for suspenssion and springs that cost around 800euros or ill leave it stock and go for some exterior changes tint windows,new bumper cause old one is cracking all over,xenon lights,maybe spoon spoiler or projector headlights..i will see about this.Also Hafilo,dude,i bought the car with the tires i show in the first picture...the thing is that the tires are on that car since 2004...the tire was not tire any more...if someone spit on the road and i run over that with those tires when i hit the brake a great spin would start :D when it was raining i didnt go over 20 km/h cause i had to hit the brake if i see a kid or something 12 blocks away :D now i can rely on the car while running with 120-140 km/h and knowing that I wont be on any tree at the next turn...

those are the headlights im looking for but as u seen in the video when the lights are on at the inner corner of the headlight there is an amber/orange bulb..can it be replaced with a white so it fits the 2 rings color of light? i mean only amber light i want from the outter corners flashing when i wanna make a turn or something..

Here is a pic of the passenger door's lock:
Image

As you see something(i say it was a screw driver)was inserted into the keyhole in order to force it open.Thank god it was middle of the day so that b@st@rd didnt have all the luxuries for a successful breaking into operation.
I dont know if all these should be posted in this thread but as for me i believe its the real progress...My priority now is to make sure that my car is safe that means alarm not the cheapest one but one that costs much and worths it.i think that its more important than exterior or interior changes

- Fri May 06, 2011 9:16 am #253937 The progress is being delayed cause of some "family financial issues" u know i kinda need to pay 50% of bills etc cause i live with my bro and i dont take so much money to keep up with both house expenses and progress on hatch...also im w8ing for this months' salary to get my car to the mechanic...I noticed some wierd noices when im pressing the clutch like a squeeking noice+i think my timing belt needs to be changed and the last one is that sometimes when i try to turn on the car i turn the key to on position if it doesnt start in the very first second the engine light turn on...i try to turn it on again and for the next 5 minutes when i turn the key after 3-4 sec the engine light turns on....If i dont attempt to turn the car on for like 5 minutes after the last failed try then it turns on normally and have no prob...i dont know why it does that everything seems to be normal but i prefer to take it to my friend who is a mechanic before i change something into interior or exterior.he will charge me with too little money for a check up and fix up for these lil issues...Also new guy at work he told me about a junkyard that i can go and find anything i like VERY cheap...i didnt know about that one so ill prolly go and check it out at the weekend...Everything new ill keep u updated.I know it takes too long but its not the best season for my budget :cry: :(
