I beg to differ-im a fan of un-tucked cars and this one fills the bill for me-the perfect amount of lowering.

Yeah, its really not that bad right now. I'm really liking the setup from the four or five times I taken it out on back roads. For the very minimal suspension upgrades, it handles great. I'd like to do some more suspension upgrades but I have some other things to take care of first.

Well, the D16Y8 swap is finished. It took a little longer then I was expecting it too. I didn't realize how many thing needed to be modified to get the Y8 to fit and run properly. Its really nice compared to what was in there. It feels just like a D15 up until about 4,500-4,700 RPM's. I think the reason why it picks up so much is due to the intake design. VTEC is pretty much non-existent. You can just barely notice the crossover. But then again, I'm running a stock 92-95 Civic EX intake and exhaust system besides an OBX resonated test pipe so thats probably the reason why its not noticeable. Over all I'm pretty pleased with it so far. It needs some wiring issues fixed. I need to convert the IACV from a 3-wire to a 2-wire and hide some of the plugs that are not in use anymore like the Purge and IAT.

I also decided to buy a few goodies over the weekend too. I picked up an OEM GSR front strut bar as well as a Spoon Sports front strut bar. I've been wanting to rock the dual strut bar setup for a while and finally got around to finding the bar I was wanting. I also got some BFGoodrich drag radials for when I take the car to the track once it has some more upgrades done to it.

And now some pictures...

Thanks. I'm still figuring out what I wanna do with this valve cover. I'm thinking I'm going to polish it to match the strut bar and the Blades. I will probably shave everything but the part that says "Honda" on it. But nothing is set in stone yet, just kicking around ideas.
