    Lol I wish, these pics are from when the house was sold to us.

    I haven't taken any with our furniture in there and we are finishing the basement right now so most of my extra funds are being dumped in there.

    When that is done I'll start saving for a garage, I have a 6-7 car driveway so there is ample room for a decent sized garage attached to the house or one out back where the shed is right now.

    No where near finished I'll try and update from time to time but expect further progress to be slow since the wallet isn't quite what it used to be

    awesome build dude! though your numbers made me very nervous. im doing a similar build (sans stock exhaust and cat) and i am hoping for higher numbers than that :P

    only difference is im using an ITR bottom end and BC cams instead of s2.

    I should post better results this summer, I will finally have some time to look into it. Withe the move halfway across the country last June and having to find a job and house the civic has been on the back burner.

    That is all looked after now and the snow is slowly melting away so I should be good to take her out of hybernation before the end of the month.

    Very excited to spend some time working on it again. I will update periodically.

    Finally worked on her a little. As you guys know I converted most of it back to stock for the drive from AB to QC. She is now legal to drive in Quebec so all the extra weight they call an interior is back out and I will finally try to fix the issue that was causing the low power numbers.





    Prosport gauges oil temp et water temp

    ITR header gone

    TDM big tube header installed with test pipe all 2.5 inch





    Probably a big part of my problem....



    Another part of it..

    more weight reduction


    Changed out both rear bearings as they had some play from hitting the curbing too hard on a few race tracks



    Next on the list is a full 3 inch exhaust and hopefully a retune.

    You should bring your civic to the 2011 Rallycross Dirt Cup on Sept 5th at race city. I took a basically stock 93 EG hatch last year and raced it in the Dirt Cup, had the time of my life. PM for details.

    Very far from stock and very far from AB at the moment :P

    She still runs good but she is mostly done for the season as far as mods go.

    Sorry this year was fairly light on that end but buying a house, finding a job, finishing a basement, having a 3rd child and finding some money left over to have a bit of fund didn't leave much left for mods.

    the latest - ebay special lol we'll see how long it lasts.

    Full 3 inch and also got a GSR shifter from a great friend

    Took it to the track again and she ran 14.55 @ 98 tonight so it's starting to go faster. A retune should get me in the 100mph club

    Did you retune? Or running the header/exhaust with the old tune?

    No retune just changed header, test pipe and exhaust.

    Went from 91 to 98 mph.

    It does need a retune, the 7200 VTEC crossover makes it feel like I have turbo lag now.
