Since the Euro forum is a bit slow these days I thought I post some pics of my recent mods

Tenzo front strut bar

Tenzo rear strut

Door sills(?)

close-up

You can't really see it on the pics but I also had my seats 'redone'.
partly new cloth on both seats and some filling of the sides, looks new again

What do you think?

He Bracer, I agree that the Euro Forum is a bit slow lately
But everybody must have there reasons

For your mods, I must say that its looking good, but your car was looking good
without the mods anyway

Do you feel any difference in driving with your rear strutbrace???
I always wonder about that

O yeah, I had a question for you about your seats.
The VTi seats have that "stripe" design right??
Do other type's of Civic have that to??
Cause I say a 1.5 Civic recently at TCC with interior just like that
I think that he just had some VTi interior installed.

O BTW, you guys might think "What did he do at TCC???"
Well AccordCE8 had a new exhaust installed, its a HKS style
I made pics, but I have to get them developed, but they look great on his Accord
and its also sounds super, its one of those exhausts with a silencer which you can take out for more sound

I'll post pics A.S.A.P.

Well in normal driving no, but when you are pushing it it feels a bit firmer in corners, and it looks

As far as I know only the VT has the red stripe design. The 1.5 has different shaped seats originally. Like you said, they must have swapped interiors.

I had the film to get developed today, and they will be ready on tuesday

like all others already said...looks really good!
One question: how have you done the 'finishing touch' of the rear strut brace (where the srutbrace attaches to the struts)... it looks real good, did you cut the plastic yourself or do those holes belong there??

I didn't cut the plastic myself, there are 2 plastic 'caps' that can be removed so that you can reach the strut bolts. When you take that cap of there's this rubber 'thingie' that sits on top of the strut. I removed the plastic cap, removed the rubber thing, attached the strut and put the rubber thing back. Real easy, like it was designed to have a rear strut

hehe that doesn't really matter to us how your car looks like

If its a Honda its OK to post pics, and if you post pics now when its a 4x4 then we'll be able
to really see the difference of before and after the springs

ahhh... the civic was designed very well then

I'm thinking of putting a strutbrace at the rear too, but then I have to cut holes myself... it can be done offcourse...
first I have to put in my new oil pressure and oil temperature gauges
