To be honest I don't even know. I left work one night and it was dark out by the time i realized it i was home. I shut the door and seen that the driver side was missing. The passenger side was still there so I don't know if its flew off while I was driving home or the person who took it got scared and left with only 1 or what. The thing is I can't even be mad about it because I don't know. :?

Dont know if I missed it somewhere but did you get a tune after swapping on that manifold and tb? Power difference? Keep up the good work!

Thanks man. No i haven't gotten it tuned after the upgrade but did want to. I will be holding off on getting the tune because i am eventually going boost thats the biggest reason i went with that type of manifold. Power difference i feel the most is down low, up top somewhat a bit better but i think it can do more.

Thanks i thought of that before but i have some gold in my color scheme IE my Crown Royal Shift boot, And Gold "24k" Shift knob. Its not much but i plan on adding a little more.

A few things have happen last couple of months Civic-EG :cry: :) i haven't disappeared, and i will post some pics as soon as i get a chance. It was a bif set back but she is back and has new toys in the process.

I do have a quick question though. Would it be harmful to run your car open header? It wont be long term or nothing I just need to get to work and then to the shop to get an new exhaust. Btw i work about 40 miles away from my house

- Wed May 01, 2013 3:11 am #331204 OK...(sigh) so a string of bad luck i have had, but i am bouncing back. I will for the most part let the pictures tell the story.
While this was happening
Image
I found this !!!
Image
Getting ready
Image
So excited to put on this CF lip!!!!
Image
Fail!!!!! this lip is not for an EG :x :x
Image
AND THEN!! this :cry: guess it was a good thing the lip didn't fit
Image
Hit some ice and couldn't do anything about it. Hit a small pole and corner of a sidewalk. This is the biggest damage that she took.
Image
So along mechanical parts need were an oil pan, oil strainer, new headers (Cracked and bent), exhaust pipping and radiator fan housing. Some stuff i went for an upgrade. I did snap off my beaks bar as well.
Image
Image
PLM Toda style Header
Image
Image
Fan installed and found out under pressure the radiator leaks so i got 2 inch aluminum one instead of the 1.5 i had.
Image
Got it back from the body shop and i had them mount a new radiator support and then i took over. Looking over a few cars on here (Teal, Trailertrash) to name a few and seeing how good a rattle can paint job can be i decided to try it out a little. Planning on doing the whole bay now lol.
Image
Image
Image
Image
I ended up shooting it with some clear too but i forgot to take pictures but you will see the difference in other pictures. Started test fitting.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Installed header and the oil pan by this point.
Image
Awesome ground clearance even for as low as my car is
Image
My son helped through out the day an he wanted to take a picture lol
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
There are some gaps but i will get that worked out with some adjustments Installed Radiator and fan but didn't like the red so i painted it but left the fan blades red.
Image
Final setup for now and bronze tint to the headers after a drive in them.
Image
Image
Image
Ran out of daylight but i will post some pictures of the a full view. Everything that is black is i plasti dipped to save time and because i am going to get it color match when fund are available.
