10 years ago you were modding cars on MS Paint. :lol:

 

 

This is the first forum I've been on where the average age is higher than mine. :lol:

And mine! :lol:

 

I'm 22 in a couple of weeks, so 10 years ago I was actually the age Roj keeps telling me I am -_-

I'm 28 in April, grey hair beckons too! :(

Smalllll Update!

 

Raised the exhaust back up, and started finding out what I'm getting for my birthday from my car mates (1 week from now), my mates bought me a set of component speakers for the front with adaptor rings and the plug adaptor for the standard Honda plugs, @Roj is buying me something I'll reveal closer to the time. I've bought myself an Eibach 20/15mm Pro Kit, Therefore lowering it a total of 40/35mm over a standard non type R civic, so it'll sit nicely and still allow me to navigate around London.

 

Pics time! Ignore the blatant instagramness please.

I also did an interior LED bulb upgrade with new sidelights cause one of my old ones started flickering:

They're obviously much brighter in person and really gives a nice look when you unlock the car, or when you take the key out after turning the car off, really nice bright LEDs.

 

Going to get the windows tinted after the bonnet is sorted, as well as the Eibachs on when @Roj gets down here for our mini Honda weekend!

There you go mate, connects directly to the stock speaker harness as well as the new components, says it's for an accord but it works on civics too :)

 

Thanks! 

 

I need to prioritise the suspension bits and new rear tyres so I can get another alignment once lowered, luckily I work closely with a garage (pictured above) so it's not too bad to sort out!

Turned 22 on the 9th March, so for the weekend of the 6th-8th March I drove to the Geneva Motorshow 2015. I took the BMW because it's better on fuel via the motorway, and more comfortable, less loud, and has cruise control. Awesome awesome trip. We need a collage! Collage~~~

I got to see all the new concepts and road cars etc, even sat in the drivers seat of the new type R! Was very tempted to put down the £3k deposit, but no idea where the other £29k would come from! It's definitely better in real life than in pictures by the way :)

Returned back to England to find the HID kit that @Roj and another mate got me for my birthday had arrived (thanks again)

 

Got that fitted and here's the results!

They're perfectly matched to my new sidelights which is a plus and night time visibility is incredible as they're the 6000k ones not the 8000k ones!

 

Also a bonus picture of the spoiler as everyone loves a bit of carbon fibre!

In regards to further modifications. the rear tyres are on the way as is the new gearbox mount. I've also ordered a new rocker cover gasket kit so I can get the valve clearances done sometime next week. Also my new component speakers arrived with everything I need to fit them, another birthday present from a mate! So these will be fitted this weekend hopefully!
