That's a damn nice looking MA! Really gotta give the paint on my own one a bit of love after seeing this. Though I'm not so sure about giving up AC for a supercharger. Summers 'round where I live get brutal.

I'll try haha, I'm not that experienced with forums and all

Start yourself a project thread in members cars mate... Then you can photowhore to your heart's content 😎

Really like this pic I took at the car wash today, so I'm gonna post it in this thread not to clog the whole gallery board with my stuff hahah 😄

Already have em, just need to swap tyres and fix a few things... (ugly external balancing weights ew)

Also here's the filter I got, it's an AliExpress HKS replica which is SURPRISINGLY extremely well made, sturdy plastic and metal frame. I bought an original HKS filter element and put that in, ez 120 bucks less for the same filter I love basically.

That's the typical 16-valve sound. Any four banger with 16 valves has a certain point where it really starts to growl. Be it bike or car. ;)

Yeah but at least it's a better layout than the D14a4's vertical throttle body haha! Also yes I'm aware of that, they should be alright for 6000/8000 km but I always look at my engine bay so I would see it if it starts flaking! Need to make the tube a little longer and separate the air from the radiator after this. Sound wise it's already a lot better than stock, especially at 4600 rpm... for some reason it changes engine tone quite noticeably there

Clean looking engine bay, I like. But I didn't know that they made plastic intake manifolds for earlier D-Series. Interesting. And just a friendly warning about these HKS-style air filters - they tend to disintegrate and get sucked into the engine!

Really nice MA 😎 will be interested in the supercharger plans.. That's my dream mod.

YEAH I really wouldn't give up AC for ANYTHING lmao, especially here in Italy haha. Though he said it doesn't have it so it's a smart idea I guess! I never considered superchargers on my D14a8 cause I don't wanna make my mileage even worse than it is right now but it's a solid choice if properly tuned :D

Thanks man, Regarding the AC, I don't have it, so I won't be losing anything :D

Bearded MA and miot, amazing!!

Man, I envy you facelift guys for your spoiler lips and sideskirts. Finding them for the pre-facelift models is virtually impossible. :/ Also usually not a big fan of silver wheels on a silver car, but you pull off that look quite well!

Thanks! I primarily bought them for those foggy autumn morning commutes, but the look quickly grew on me. :D Also imported some yellow bulbs for them, and the light coming out of them looks freakin' amazing. Had quite a few BMW drivers mistake me for an E36 because of them, as well! xD

Hell yeah those foglights look amazing

Will write one at some poit!

Thank you! It's in no way a perfect job, lots of clear coat missing in the lower spots and some paint drips but still decent from afar.

Loving that!

Nice bit of colour coding there, looks sweet!

Looks tidy mate 😎 Would be good to read what you've done in a project thread 👍

Just make a new topic in here bud 👍 https://civic5.com/forum/forum/82-honda-civic-mambmc/

Long gone mate, never fitted the rear arches properly. This was the one that got away :(
