What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

[casper]

Installed the @ACUITY throttle relocation bracket today (on my Sport Hatch)!

I have a size 9 foot (mens) and used the C position. I feel this position is good compromise between “heel-toe-ability” and daily comfort, since the other positions are higher and/or further away from the brake pedal laterally.

I immediately liked it - my foot is now at an angle where I have more precise control of the throttle, and my shifts were magically smoother just because the gas pedal wasn’t buried so deep in the stock position anymore... basically it feels like the stock position was originally set too far back (and too far away laterally from the brake), and the relocation bracket puts it where it feels like it should have been.

Haven’t really learned heel-toe yet, but it’s definitely more possible now versus being nearly impossible in the stock position. In the picture below you can see that I can now nick the gas with the right side of my foot. With the stock position, the only way I could even land a blip was going all-out heel kick.

Very easy install too.

Replaced the stock rear diffuser/lip with a type R replica. Going to get my exhaust center mounted next month. Really makes the rear more aggressive

Thats pretty awesome. Happen to have a link of where to get it?

Celebrated my first year with my fk6 with a new set of rear taillights and interior lighting. Had a lot of fun with it the last year.

Dropped off Grey Hatch for a few things.

- Annual Inspection (now I can finally drive it legally)
- Oil Change
- Type-R Subframe Brace
- Whiteline Rear Motor Mount Insert
- Whiteline Front Lower Control Arm Inserts
- Tightening the rear endlinks, most likely double nut to lock them as I did with the White Hatch

So I'm having a bit of a dilemma. I've been waiting on an Ingen Intercooler for just about a full year now. I have the sweet looking red charge pipes sitting in the closet just collecting dust.

My Grey car has a PRL pipe/cooler set on it. Would I be crazy to take that kit off Grey, put it on White (which has PRL FP/DP), and while I'm in there with Grey do the Ingen charge pipes and stock cooler while I wait? I saw a thread where a guy had ingen pipes and an ingen intake and it looked sweeeet in the engine bay. If I do that, I'll have an extra 27Won intake to sell.

Do you guys prefer a one brand build or mix and match like I have done?

and finally, for a little visual interest, debadged and changed to a black H emblem

I flushed the Prestone DOT3 brake fluid in the car with 3 liters of ATE Type 200 racing fluid. I used the Motive brake bleeder, but they come stock with Euro adapters. I had to get a honda adapter and swap out the stock adapter for the honda one. It worked perfectly, and I achieved a perfect seal right away. Even at relatively high PSI, the brake fluid took time to come out of the bleeders, but nothing too alarming.

My brake pedal still has a relatively soft first half-inch of travel. I don't remember if that was present when I had the stock brakes, but I think I might have to bleed the ABS module to get rid of it, which is a mystery on the 10th gens. Overall, the brakes feel fantastic.

Later that night, I took the car out, and a drunk middle-aged man in a ford explorer rear-ended me at a stoplight. He could barely walk and kept telling me he would pay for it but wouldn't hand over license or insurance. He took off after I called the cops. Anyway, I'm happy it's just my bumper, but it's looking like a pricey repair after looking up the prices of a painted bumper. The police report is in today. Hopefully, this doesn't take forever to sort out.

Rear wiper delete! So much cleaner, wish I had done it sooner.

Not an earth-shattering mod, but installed these Sylvania Silverstar 7440AST bulbs to remove the egg-yolk effect on the headlights. Don't mind the dirty car. Hopefully these bulbs don't fade. With the Zevo LED, helps clean up the look.

Now to have a 3rd gen Insight owner have a close-up picture of their third brake light to see if it fits in the Civic (fun fact: the Insight and Civic have the same part number for the rear deck panel: 84505-TBA-A21ZA)

Took over a local 7/11 ?

Took the 180 mile trip to Moonshine Store for a moon burger! Car gets kinda dirty on the gravel roads.

Living in Florida for 8 years I don’t know if I can drive in snow anymore by the way I like the song Sasquatch by camel

Installed the Type R subframe brace on my FK7 during an oil change

Hope you got a photo of the drunk's car and license plate.

What lights are those between the bumper/lip? Those look sick

Those are the Blitz Aero R-Speed Concept Front FK7 Lip; however, I think the two in the picture are actually the cheaper replicas which still looks good imo. I wanted to get either the original Blitz lip or the Blitz replicas at one point.

Got bored with the rear end looking a little plain so I add this, thoughts?
