#346471 I made some modifications at last time, here they are:
-Finished my DIY project - looong cold air intake pipe. The diameter inside is exactly what should be for my throttle, also internal surface is as smooth as possible and both bends has possible smooth and wide angles. Short photo story:

#352256 Was missing for a long time... Long story short - F... brain dead woman cut my way on motorway on 30th of july last year and hit into front tire o my van... Crashed quite badly - head-one collision with barriers @ over 60mph and then rolling over few times... So I had a break with the project...

Any way I'm back!! Started again couple month ago. And there is what i have done so far:
Parts replaced/mounted in suspension:
- ASR
- Sway bars (26 and 22mm)
- STRONGLEX polyurethane bushes, bits for sway bars and inserts for engine mounts - all racing version - 90Ash
- HARDRACE toe control arms
- BUDDY CLUB - extended ball joints
- ARP extendet wheel studs
Also I bought lighter rims and tires:
- SSR Type X 15" - 4,8kg + TOYO T1R
- Weds sport TC05 15" - 4,6kg + TOYO R888
Also fixed:
- mugen look lip
- spoon look spoiler

#352280 That's not a good grounding point. Amps grounded that way have RPM noise through the speakers, so you can just imagine what's happening to all your sensors when you have the battery grounded that way.

I suggest running some 2 gauge wire to the stock grounding point on the strut tower, and also grounding the battery directly to the rear frame rail.

This is one of the raddest builds I can remember having seen on Civic-EG. Nice work.

I hope they start exporting those tilt lifts to the US soon.

I didnt thought about it... Have battery like that well over a year! And yes at the time when i had a radio in my car i heard my rews in the speakers... Shit! What is the worse scenario with that grounding?

The lift.. - Is fantastic! i you dont have proper garage :)

Another think! Just last night finished my brakes:
- rear Yellowstuf brake pads
- HEL brake lines
- brake fluid - MOTUL racing
