I like the direction your going in mate. I don't know if it's just the first photo however the car makes your EP3 rims look tiny. Get some P1's on

 

[recoy2k]

totally agree mate i'm looking at a set of 18's at the moment or some 17's with lower profile tyres tso I can lower it further to fill the arches better

 

[recoy2k]

Some new pics of her since I had my D2's fitted and it taken lower, My lCA's and my Mugen spoiler (Thanks Terry)
Hopefully thanks to my birthday coming up I should have some tasty new seats in her soon. She is going in on Friday for a full service and health check then I will be changing the B pipe (Baffles have gone) and then the Purple detailing will start with all Red badges turned purple, purple calipers, hoses etc all to match the colour of the D2's

 

[TarmacNymph]

Looking good thus far mate, especially the CF spoiler
Although damn you for going the same route as me with the purple detailing! I won't be 'as' exclusive now, but never mind, shows that people approve if more than one person goes the same way

 

[Neily03]

What profile are those rear tyres? It looks like a dragster!? :freak:

 

[recoy2k]

Sorry Nymph I was thinking the same thing but at least mine isn't Cosmic so wont be a complete copy
Yes they are the wrong profile the are 205/50 which is ***** but they are getting changed next month, would have done it this month but service takes priority

 

[TerryCTR]

Looking very clean mate, the spoiler looks good

 

[Danger200]

yeah this is looking pretty good mate, rarely see a civic with a kit on it.

looking at that exhaust i thought i saw a flammer kit....then saw that window sticker :lol:

 

[recoy2k]

Yeah although it has now been removed due to interfearing with my injectors and causing a mis fire. It will soon have some aftermarket trickery on it to retard the ignition at certains times so I can make it flame at the shows

 

[Danger200]

:lol: remind me to keep an extra step back from your car then lol.
so have you got a fifth sprak plug in the exhaust and thats it or have you gone the whole hog with the butane in the boot? you set it up yourself? what were the flames like?

my friend had (god rest its soul) an escort turbo with a spark plug in the exhaust, and when the switch was flicked the spark plug just kept sparking and with the unburnt fuel and no cat converter the flames were pretty good, except for the one that never went out :lol: he didnt find it funny but i thought it was hilarious

 

[recoy2k]

Currently I just have the spark plug left to save having a hole but the kit I had in there was connected to the injectors and when I pressed my little red button it caused them to fire constantly thus throwing fuel down the exhaust. Had some good flames off it but nothing spectacular.
The new set up should give very impressive flames along with some nice bangs without risking the engine at all
And I have a nice little fire extinguisher in my car incase of that one flame not stopping

 

[Danger200]

haha well my friends didnt go out as we were going along the motorway, but if you intend on doing it whilst stopped then fire extinguisher FTW :lol:
wow, that was quite an involved set up then. if you dont mind me asking, how you going to do the new set up or is that a secret? lol
ive allways wanted my car to flame, i think it looks cool as youre going along, or to make people not tailgate me in traffic lol

 

[recoy2k]

Well mine pops little flames anyway due to the de-cat and it overfuelling but it is getting set up with an AEM stand alone ECU and it will be set so when under 10mph out of gear once the revs build to 4000 it retards the ignition til about 4500rpm at which point the ignitions cuts. What this causes is for the spark plugs to fire when the exhaust valve is open so causing flames to come straight through the exhaust.
Thats what my mechanic/tuner has told me it will do anyway

 

[Danger200]

sounds very technical actually, so this wont mess up the engine then?

 

[recoy2k]

Not according to my mate and seeing as he runs a car in the HKS drag serie i'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing
I let you know the results

 

[Danger200]

cant argue with that then lol, yeah please i wouldnt mind having one of my own one i have the right exhaust and set up.
you got any pics of your car flaming?

 

[recoy2k]

Unfortunately not, it's not very easy to get photo's of it due to timing and it didn't do them very often lol hopefully will be able to get big enough flames that timing wont matter soon lol

 

[Danger200]

that was the same with my friends, filming going along looked crap and it never done them on standstill and he had never seen them before :lol:
either way mate, your civic is pretty nice, is it stripped out?

 

[recoy2k]

Thanks mate, I know it is very marmite and a lot of people are unsure on the kit but i like being original

yes mate taken all the rear interior out, just saving for new seats and some harnesses, roll cage etc
