Well guys, name is Ed and this is my 13 FB6, bought in March of 13, odo is reading at 28k, I love to drive this machine :) Anyways new to this forum, I've been a longtime member with the other 9th gen page, found a lot of useful info here while doing research. Haven't done too much, just running a HID retrofit from TRS, also Takeda CAI, deleted my Skunk2 catback which got annoying fast.. Also ordered D2 Lowering Springs recently but held off on the install due to bad reviews..

I'll be adding Tein Street Advance Coilovers tomorrow, in the next month Buddy Club short shifter and Camber arms (backordered) will be added.. Thanks for checking out my thread, my build will be up soon! HONDA FOREVER

+1 for crotch shot.
I see at least two photos that are worthy of the 2015 calendar. Looking great :thumbsup:

Thanks! I kind of went back and forth between the 17s and 18s. I sometimes think the 18s look too big for the car but I'm getting used to them.
 
Nice start! I highly approve of the 2 bucket ONR wash! Stuff works great doesn't it?
 
Totally Nix was very doable in the winter months, except for when it's in the mid twenties.

I don't think I'll ever go to a wash bay again, except for an undercarriage rinse
 
Busy weekend, installed BC short shifter, not sure how I feel about it just yet.. also added LED DRL upgrade car is far right in group photo (midnight meet Chicago)

Dropped her last week Tein street advance, I'm in love, getting many compliments on the drop, but ride quality was not jeopardized :thumb:

With that being said, thanks for checking out my introduction I think the wife had enough for a few months haha

My next mods would increase handling, I plan on adding a turbo much later in the cars life, I want to prepare the chassis but in the meantime whip it like a go cart:bananawhipdance::dog:
