well, havent been working on the car much lately. but ive started up again and its about together ready to run.

so far I replaced the old sticky noisy LMA's with the improved version from Honda. also got an OEM headgasket, as the one that was on the car was a solid, thick ass copper piece.

here are some shots, as well as pics of the new header and innovative cross member and traction bars.

just need to adjust the valves at this point, should have it going once the rain stops.

at that point im sad to say I may be selling the car, I've since purchased an 09 Fit Sport and the wife says I can only have one! so keep your eyes out within the next couple weeks, im going to clean the civic up good and probably post it for sale on here, here are some pics of the new grocery getter.
