Dar-Dar's Fiji Blue 2007 Civic Si

[Dar-Dar]

Thanks! My choices were actually this, 07' MS3, 07' Eclipse GT, or 07' WRX. I had the best deal with the Si so I couldn't say no.

I'm not really a fan of the MS3's. Not that they are bad but I'm not a fan of the hatch look..

Eclipse... That shouldn't have been in the running :p

 

[Dar-Dar]

I know. Lol. I easily took it out from the option after seeing it in person and test driving it.

Wow! Great thread! She's been through a lot. Look beautiful!

I think Dawn would be very jealous.

 

[Dar-Dar]

Thanks Ken. Yeah...Dawn probably does miss her old FG2. Just don't mention her this thread. Lol.

I cannot install it yet bc it's snowing outside. I'll let the adhesive cure until the weekend or until it gets nicer out.

Nice pics especially the one where you took of the top view of the car. Did you take that pic from a tree?

 

[Dar-Dar]

No. Lol. Second floor window.

I will be using these when I install the camber arms since the bushings are made of polyurethane. This will help reduce squeaking, especially during cold weather.

Photo shop?

I think it's legit. A dealership is selling it.

Looks like a Canadian highway sign in the back. I'm surprised its not from Quebec. We've got some interesting Civics in this province.

Love the Blue!!

Thanks! It's weird how Honda went to Dyno Blue from Fiji Blue.

I installed NGK Laser Iridium Spark Plugs. My Denso IK24 2-step cold spark plugs were killing my mpg, especially in this winter. Sheesh.

I was told that they are good for N/A setups, so I bought the Densos when I got Flashpro and the Rick Spec'd CAI. Now that I got rid of them, the Densos were just hurting the mpgs on the stock setup. I was getting 19-25 mpg mixed. Lol. It's a big gap bc the mpg fluctuates for the reason that the Densos crapped the engine performance. People run the Densos more on boosted cars and N/A cars with mild to heavy mods.

My Tanabe springs are going across the US for the third time. Lol. It's on the way and should be here by friday.

I will be painting the IM flat black and the valve cover wrinkle black during the summer. I'll probably put ceramic paint on the intake manifold. I'm also planning on getting a J35 tb and will paint it like the stock tb. Spark plug cover? Maybe keep it black or paint it Fiji Blue?

 

[Dar-Dar]

I picked up the Tanabe Springs. I love the look of them! They are red-orange in color. Drop is rated at .6" Front/.9" Rear for the EX model. The front might be a bit lower on my car if the K20 is heavier than the R18.

I want it to be warmer already!!!!

 

[Dar-Dar]

I still need to put a 5/8" connection for the valve cover vacuum line. It will be easy to put on the MAF housing if I have a 1" drill bit. Lol.
