    fog light dying?

    I need to replace my fog lights and am not sure how to determine which aftermarket sets will fit. If possible, I am looking for a set not much over $100. Does anyone have any suggestions? And, where do you get the stone guards? Thx for any info

    Ground Control Coil Overs, need camber info...

    Hey People, It's been so long since I've been here, Wow! I have the Ground Control Coil Overs and need to adjust the camber. I think the MP3 has an adjustable camber, but not the proper screws to adjust it. Can anyone tell me if that is true? If not, does anyone know of an actual kit? I ruined...

    now that it's lowered...

    Cool, thanks people. Does anyone know about replacing control arms? I've read this may need to be done to help uneven tire wear. Any idea if this true and how to tell if you do need new ones?

    now that it's lowered...

    Alright, I put on the Ground Control CoilOvers about a month ago. I put it at about 1 1/4" below the stock MP3 setting (approx. 2" lower than a reg. protege). My back tires are fine, they look like they only have 14,000 miles on them. The front tires are quite a bit worse. The whole tire is more...

    can someone suggest lowering springs?

    I'm ready to drop my car by a bit but I really don't know what size I should get. I don't want to lose too much comfort and I don't want a lot of rubbing when I turn; does anyone have any suggestions as to the optimal size springs to get?

    bushing????

    I haven't experienced that clunking sound and I have about 6000 miles on my car. How many people out there have actually experienced this? I've seen at least 6 or 7 that are hearing it. Is it a quiet noise or would I definitely hear it if it occurred? Just trying to get an idea if I need to be...

    how low should we go?

    Anyone out there that has lowered their MP3 have any suggestions on the best size springs to purchase? I want to lower it for handling and looks, but I don't want to lose too much comfort in the ride and I don't want a lot of rubbing when I make any turns. I was thinking 1.5" in the front and...

    need more power!

    thanks guys, I'm learning a lot. Does "at the flywheel" mean whp or bhp? Forgive my ignorance. Does anyone know what the whp for a bosal header is?

    TRIPOINT FLYWHEEL

    whether it adds hp or not, it sounds worth it. I mean, I am modifying my car for quickness anyway. HP is nice, but I want to burn people off the line for the most part. Sure, I want to stay ahead of them; but the initial power is what I want.

    need more power!

    thanks, man. That brings up a couple of more questions. How much is the FS-ZE and where can you purchase one? Are they used like the JDM engines you can get for the Civics or are they new?

    need more power!

    Forgive me, because I know I already asked this once, but I forgot under what topic I posted it and caanot find it. Anyway, what is FS-ZE? I've seen those of you who have added an FS-ZE Intake cam, and I do not know what an intake cam is. I've also seen people mention FS-ZE in comparison to...

    FS-ZE spec

    Forgive my ignorance, I'm still new to this whole import mods thing; but what is the FS-ZE spec? How much of a hp increase does it create?

    Civic Type-r on my A**

    A couple of comments friends, one: yes a cop will pull over 2 cars at once, and not even just because you are racing; it's happened to me twice (1 street race, one just driving). two: Not everyone lives in a place where you can test your car on a track legally, so street racing is a way to have...

    A little sticky from 1st to 2nd...

    Hey I thought mine was the only one that was sticky getting into 2nd. I'm at about 4,000 miles and it doesn't seem to be as bad. I do play with it when I'm stopped (and with an hour and a 1/2 drive to work , I get a lot of time for that). Where can I find out the number of my car? I've seen a...
