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

[MajorSoundwave]

Glad you seem to be okay (since you're able to post here).

Yeah thanks to my cat like reflexes I made it out ok. It could have been so much worse.

Just installed the PRL inlet pipe Race Maf yesterday 06/9/23 it was an easy install after watching so many videos. But overall love it makes the engine bay more shiny and I do feel a difference in turbo spooling. Just getting one step closer to that big turbo was thinking of getting the RV6 red ball bearing turbo or VTT GC still can't decide

Just did this upgrade recently as well! What is the red pipe that the vac lines connect to? And how easy was it to install?

Made some custom floor mats they came out great! I took some extra carpet from work and just needed the trim and black hot glue. I didn’t have enough trim to finish the drivers seat tho so i have to order more. Plus i might make a little carpet for the back seat floor hump.

The red pipes are my mishimoto charge pipes and it was a pretty easy install just make sure everything is tightened down and you should be good. It took me about 20ish minutes 1 hour max reason why is because you have to remove the bumper and install it again and it's also ain't my first time installing them

Forgot to ask how your doggie fared. I'm guessing okay since you didn't mention otherwise.

Not Civic related but definitely car related, my family treated me to a surprise Exotics Racing experience at Speed Vegas for my birthday. 5 laps in a Ferrari F430 and 5 laps in a Lamborghini Gallardo. I drove the Ferrari first using the paddle shifters, then the Lambo in auto mode. Honestly, trying to shift, brake and steer on a race track for the first time was a bit much. The Ferrari never seemed to hit it's max, while the Lambo screamed on the straightaway. My best lap time in the Gallardo was 10 seconds faster than in the F430.

All in all, a great experience and a very great present.

Nice, I wanna do this for my birthday too. Which car did you prefer? We’re the instructors nice?

The Ferrari never seemed to max out, in the Gallardo the instructor hit the mode button to put it into either Sport or Corsa mode and it screamed in the straightaway so that my top speed was a lot higher than in the Ferrari. Several times in the Ferrari the instructor told me to give it 100% throttle and I already was. TBH, given my lack of experience (and skill haha), I'm not sure how much more I'd have benefited from driving a Huracan or 488 instead. The instructors were cool.

Yeah my beagle pup is good, I was able to embrace him during the crash so he didn't go anywhere. He shows no signs of injuries or trauma. We drove with him in the other car yesterday.

Their website has good info on each of the cars as well as pricing.
