Seriously OT: The Real 3rd Thready...

no black-eyed suzzies?

the wife wants buy buy one of those fake trees. she says it will make the house feel better. i say the cats will rip it to shreads.

one of the fake inside the house trees? I never really understood those. my lady has one but its just two branches in dirt, no leaves at all. I wanna ask her what the hell its for and why she thinks it looks good but I'm sure the answer will only leave me more confused

we had one...spruced up the living room quite nicely

I wanted to buy a nice tree for the house but it was like 60$. So I bought some basil, tomato, and pepper plants to put on the patio.

Why not get a live plant? not saying the cats will leave it alone either.. but there are pleanty of live plants that will grow inside.

I like real plants indoors.. not too fond of fake plants...

I'm currently looking for a nice bonsai that wont kill my wallet.

well monday i plan to pick up a H23 motor...i think i'm going to do a H22 head swap and turbo it...then sell it :D

but first i need to examine the engine...something happened it it and my friend just did a JDM H22a swap...so atleast i'll have something to tinker with

that video sucked. saw more of that black car on the street, than anything.

^^ sweet we need in car vids

I hate cleaning. I got home at 1am last night from helping my friend work on a car for like 7 hours straight. And I woke up at 11 (I usually sleep until at least 12-1), to find my family taking things out to the dumpster. So I've been helping on and off the entire day. My legs and hands are killing me now, and I need a nap :frown: On top of that, my friend wanted me to come over today and help him finish the car, but I was too busy with this crap. So I didn't even get paid (in green gold) for helping. I just felt like whining.

hmmm. i've been thinking of doing some custom fiberglass stuff. not if i wanna try or not, but if i do, it will be soon.

I finally took the time to wash my car so I could snap a few pictures... washed it up at work, cause the water is free and the indoor car wash stalls kick ass :icon16: .
As soon as I left work, it started to sprinkle a little, so as soon as I got to my girls mothers house to pick her up, I used her camera to take some pictures while I had a chance.

dirty engine bay already? :loser:




LoL! it seems as if you are enjoying it :biggrin:

missing something...can't put my finger on it...i think it needs a kit on it

i have to disagree. if it "needs" anything it's a subtle lowering on some springs :naughty:

how are those things on gas? I've been trying to convince my brother to get a honda for years now, and now he wants to trade in his truck for a new Si. Funny how some people swear they'll always buy american and then suddenly change their minds.

I'm getting a steady 32mpg.


No kit... I'd like to lower it slightly.... but I think all I'm going to do to it anytime in the near future is wire me up a single 12" to boost the stock sound system just a lil bit.

window tint and a drop would look great.

The windows are tinted with heat resistant window tinting.... I just don't like really dark tint, so that was out from the get go.

to be an Si it looks plain...needs a lip kit or something to make it look different

i agree it does look kinda plain. but definitly clean.

invisibra? never seen one of those before (no pun intended... well maybe a lil pun intended :icon16: )

90civicrider has the invisibra on his civic....i suppose i would too if i had 5 stage paint.

it supposed to protect against rock chips and such.

I wish I could afford to get the paint on the Accord brought back to like new. So many idiots have defiled the paint job I work so hard to protect :shakehead

it supposed to protect against rock chips and such.

Not sure about 90civicrider's invisibra.... but this stuff I've got you could fire bee bee guns at and it wouldn't even leave a mark... good shit!..... and since I do 120 miles of highway commuting a day... rocks are something I need protection from!

She may be plain, what being stock and all... but I'm very satisfied. Any future mods will come after the 75k mile marker when my warranty goes out....... even after that, I may keep her stock and pick up another 6th gen as a project/race car..

And all that depends on when I get a house, or where me and the wife move to, and when that's gonna happen, and how long we put off having kids, and so on.

it looks great, and how much was the invisibra?

it looks great, and how much was the invisibra?

total I paid like $450 (that's with my employee discount).... was $350 for parts alone, at cost... but that was for the entire front bumper, 75% of the hood, half the fenders, and the mirrors.
We normally charge customers anywhere from $700 to $800 depending on the vehicle.

My roommate bought some Liquid Diamond from an infomercial and its supposed to make your car fire proof blah blah blah... I put it on my car and had a scratch two days later :disappoin

let me see if it's fire proof

yeah put some acetone on it and light it. i wanna see how fire proof it is.

damn 700-800. hmmm never mind.

7-800...repaint the damn thing.

i want to repaint the civic but i don't know what yet. i really like a deep black cars with a great looking clear coat, but a championship white is good too.

Get something that’s in the middle…gray

when it comes to cars theres always a blue that fits

no i'm not a blue guy. just don't like it. and i always get harassed when i own a red car. and other colors are to bright, i don't like to stand out that much. i like to be very subtle.


great news. i found the battery charger for my digital camera last night so pics are gonna be up soon.

BMW and VW have some nice gray paints.

no i'm not a blue guy. just don't like it.
I would like to point out the irony of the very blue crx in your avatar :wink:

well picked up the H23 today...when i get an engine stand i'll start working on it

lol. that crx is special. it's mugen.

still blue

i'd be all over this if i had the $$$

idk this is a lot of money gone right here.

ugly...and slow for what it has

I've seen that thing on e-bay so many times before. Actually I saw it posted last month too.

altezzas are an immediate turnoff imo and everything else has a cheap look to it

it's kinda interesting to me but definitly needs work.

interesting yes, but it seems to me he was more interested in making a rwd civic than making a total package out of it

money that could have been spent better.

oh yeah.

are you gonna mount it to your a-pillar to warn other drivers of the awesome powah harnessed by the civ?
