Newbie looking for info/opinions!

i agree wth Mitch and Sam yall fuckin loser needa get a fuckin clue and get a job i could really give 2 shits about the punks with APC exhaust and this that and the other body kit and blah blah fuckin blah motor mods, the ones i respect are the ones runnin 12s or quicker. ooooh and it dont matter what kinda car you got after 11 seconds its expensive and its hard cuz shit breaks.

ive found for camber kits you want 4 way adjustable one not a two so that you have a better way of centering your wheel also i hate to say it but new tires help along with rotations both in & out might cost more but flipping the tire sides opposite ways every so often will save tire wear also.i hate to say it but best way to get more horse power cheap will be intake, exaust, headers, bigger exaust piping, pulleys, fuel injectors, fuel regulators, turbo, nos, turbo charger, engine swap thats about the lines... i use to be big into honda civics 92-00 im not really up on the integras or the any older or newer civics.

Thanks for the reply "even though your not into imports" It's nice to have someone reply without saying something stupid.

About the exhaust comment: I agree! But instead of calling it a bumblebee sound, I call it a "Lawn mower". That's exactly what it sounds like! I am using a Ractive exhaust system so I have a deep throaty sound and I quite like it. I only wish that all imports used the same because their cars sound so silly that it makes me laugh when I pass one!

$500 for a camber kit??? I hope that includes install and alignment? If not, it seems kind of high.

Yes, it includes a wheel alignment and install. Plus, I'm confident that they will properly install and align my car because they've done sooooo many camber kit installs on imports. 200+ and the shop just bought a new "high tech" wheel alignment machine. I think it will all come together nicely.

This post IS FUCKIN GAY! If you want more power get a muscle car. If you wanna actually fit in on this site juice it and keep the chrome rims (minitruckin style). I like any kind of car if it lays. but the whole shit can exhaust, unpainted bodykit, park bench spoiler, fast & furious grafix, light weight stock gsr rims, sleeper bs, rev on anyone at a streetlight, ricer/tuner shit is not for SSM in my opinion. There are plenty of "nice, layed the phuck out" cars that we shouldnt have to deal with "tuner" questions on my favorite MINITRUCKIN website. just my :cents::finger:

1st off....YOUR F**KING GAY! What are you doing replying in a forum that deals with imports anyways? Are you researching for yourself? I think we have a closet import owner on the site people!!

As for putting hydros in my car....Not gonna happen. I live in CANADA, and obviously, again...your too stupid to realize that vehicles with hydros get a level 1 inspection and the car can no longer be driven! It becomes condemned. We get pulled over for everything here....Tinted windows $190 fine (I just got a ticket), Juice, Bags, Lambo doors, Side markers and turn signals any other color than amber or white, UFO lights, Blue headlights, and the list goes on and on and on.

2nd: I don't have "shit can exhaust", and my bodykit is painted, my spoiler is stock and I don't see a problem with it, I don't have any "fast & furious grafix", and if you were smart you would realize that I don't have stock gsr rims- I have chrome concept neepers! and finally I don't show off or rev at any streetlights. I don't need to show off, because anyone who has eyes can see that I am just another "HOT" chick driving an import. Every guy checks out the good looking chick driving a nice car! I would bet my life that you've checked one out in the past Ooops, I forgot what I said at the beginning of my post......YOUR GAY!

well in that case it doesn't sound too bad....plus, I forgot you were in canada....so 500 dollars is probably like a buck fitty here...lol

Good luck with your car.

Air intakes and exhaust are common mods for your car as well.

Air intake probably doesn't make much difference, the exhaust will make more. Don't believe the hype in advertising, Most intakes will not add 8-15 horsepower, and most exhaust will not either. Together they will help, and with an fpr, you can adjust your fuel pressure and tweak or maximize your results on a budget.

A better tuning device would be an Apexi vafc, it will allow you to tune your air fuel mixture, and adjust the all important vtec engagement point....lol on the vtec part. You can see some gains from this and smooth out the transition into vtec though.

These are pretty common mods.

I have seen good results from Jackson racing superchargers, if you want to spend the money. You will really need a larger fuel pump, and upgraded engine management to maximize this set up. The rising rate fpr included with the jackson kit is usually viewed as more of a patch than a usefull tuning peice though.

wow another SSM thread with nothing but haters!

i dont care for imports but oh well.....have fun with it and enjoy it.

its also a big plus if your hott!

Damn this bitch is stuck on stupid. "closet import owner"? Go fuck yourself stupid. Yeah my truck is an import but it lays frame and draggs like a mother fucker.(no motor mods by the way). Juice aint legal for us yanks either but we still do it. I've been tagged for tinted window 4 times at least and guess what? there still there. tagged for non OEM lighting? still got it. Liscense plate BS. still the same. kwit makin excuses. My shit aint legal for shit but I still roll it.Yeah the list goes on and on and on. not talkin shit just about your ride...and the whole ricer scene.Yeah GSR Vixen I check out chicks when I roll, even if there car is ugly(like yours), but if they roll riced out shit FUCK UM!!!I got $100 sayin your FUGLY. Post a pic?BIATCH!

This is another perfect example of why this scene is dying! A bunch of judgemental pricks raggin' on someone cause they drive a import. Who cares what she drives? The point is she asked politely, and what did some of you do? You acted like a bunch of pricks! I don't give a shit if you have a million dollar street rod, a lowrider, a mini, street machine, import or a donk. If your asked a question in a respectful manner, return the answer in a respectful manner. Shit like this make me ashamed sometimes of being involved with this scene! Funniest part about this is, most of the smartass pricks that make the snide comments on this site don't have anything worth a shit anyhow! I really wish Garrick would round a bunch of you pricks up and throw you on a site just for shit talkin' judegemental pricks called hatersource!

You hit the nail right on the head. There are a lot of minitruckers out there who knock anything that's not a minitruck, no matter how nicely it's done. Which is a shame, 'cause there are lots of people like me, who appreciate any kind of customized ride that's nicely (and correctly) done. It's quite apparent from the many threads I've read on this very site in the past, that there are quite a few haggard ass suspension jobs rolling around out there on minitrucks. Not to mention the horrific body work I've seen with my own two eyes. There's always somebody out there that's gonna f*ck it up.

My civic is fully shaved, lays out on 17's with cans and has a stock automatic single shit in it sorry....
