    9thcivic Tail of the Dragon Meet: The Exhaust Video

    :vtec: I'm down for another exhaust video. Te car should have less of a black smokescreen than it did last year, but it's down on power too. :( I was also a fan of the two camera vid, and was also going to suggest that a trusting member should donate a Go Pro (or two) for a new, and unexplored...

    Honda Approves Next Civic Type R

    That is a mighty sexy looking hatchback. It's a shame that it'll most likely have the same solid rear axle the previous one had.

    That shift knobs (although in a different color) is probably the only thing at all I would ever think about ordering from PWJDM. I just dislike them as a company. :bleh:

    You're correct about the OEM 8th gen shifter. However, I'm using the Type R Mugen Quickshifter, which unlike it's USDM counterpart, has a straight shifter stalk. :driving:

    I believe the TWM extender is, but make sure the one you bought is made of steel. I had an early Circuit Hero unit, but it was made of aluminium. It was difficult to put on/take off without using pliers of some sort, and since aluminium is soft it would get all scratched up during the process...

    A few years ago I had one of the older Mugen "Formula" knobs. I liked it a lot, but with the stock shifter it was difficult to get it to screw down far enough due to the hump in it. My current car has the JDM Mugen Quickshifter which has a straight post, so maybe I should think about picking up...

    As a self proclaimed shift knob whore, that Mugen knob has me :drooling:. Not to alarm anybody but that knob is also causing a tingly feeling in my pants. :squirrel: I strongly encourage you all to make donations to my Paypal account so that I too can have that naughty, naughty Mugen goodness...

    It is a mighty fine feeling knob I'll give you that (insert "self abuse" joke here). You should make that "Fatboy 2 Electric Boogaloo" knob I mentioned a while back. Now THAT would be one of the most beastly knobs available. All the guys wanting a heavy knob would be all over that like crabs on...

    Dragon Fun Run

    You guys don't know how badly I wanted to be there. Originally I was absolutely committed to the trek. Mike called (before your text Nomar) to let me know about the rockslide before knowing the extent of the damage, in addition to even knowing IF the Dragon would be drivable. After that I passed...

    ACTUAL space aliens motivating the car like an overpowered pedal car, or illegal aliens using King Lord Bernie's glorious F1 as a front for an international people smuggling ring? :popcornbig: Inquiring minds want to know. :dopey:

    Nope. They're strictly for heavy petting purposes. :pimp: I work at the Museum of Life and Science in Durham, and they're part of the farmyard petting zoo. My main man there is Lightning the donkey. He's so fvcking cool (not to mention completely misunderstood), that I'm thinking about getting...

    Yours definitely looks lower, but you also had the mystical power of diverting everybody's gaze to those beautiful, beautiful wheels. :drooling: That's a pretty awesome community effort you guys have going on. Although you neglected to mention how many acres worth of "cash crop" you were...

    I'm a sucker for all the trick aero tweaks the designers use. I miss those double diffusers :( Although I'm EXTREMELY interested to see what the Mercedes F-duct in the rear spoiler is feeding. The announcers made such a huge point to comment on the fact that Shummi was barking orders at the...

    DIY 2012 Civic JDM Red H Emblem Installation

    Great DIY :thumbsup: It looks like you're having to do the same thing with your 9th gen that I had to o with my 8th. I think when I changed my badges I used the EP3R front badge, and the DC5R rear. Instead of using a level I just put painters tape around the edges of the rear badge before...

    What do you guys think looks better, 2012 Civic Sedan or coupe?

    It wasn't entirely my choice. A 17 year old chick in her dad's Mustang GT decided my FG2 would look better if she drove into the driver side door at 45mph. :sadface: I love the FA5 I got from another member, but I'm economically challenged and can't afford to get rid of the few gremlins the...

    What do you guys think looks better, 2012 Civic Sedan or coupe?

    Although I was originally an 8th gen coupe owner who ended up in an 8th sedan, I've got to go with the 9th gen coupe. I saw a taffy white Si with the HFP kit and thought it looked great.
