First of all, if you're going to call someone an idiot...do it properly. Not "your an idiot," rather "you're an idiot." That I could respect.
1.
All the complaints I heard about the supercharger were probably the result of them installing the system themselves...thus having Modacar, a very reputable company do the install.
2.
I knew which exhaust system I wanted (did my research and all that jazz) and bought it. No need for a "test pipe."
3.
The lighting on the stock console of the 2000 Civic Ex is absolutely pitiful.
4.
I have nothing against civicracer...just reminding him that the original poster was probably not an autocrosser, being as though he was looking for pads for "street use."
Never said my car was fantastic...I spent good money on good rims and lowered it with quality components. No need for tint or fancy unpainted carbon fiber hoods.

Wow, you did your research! Yeah, I pretty much decided against carbon fiber hoods...but if by some chance in hell I was to get one...I would have it painted (at a shop of course). And yeah, I'm gonna have the gauges professionally installed, beat me to that one ;-)

Ah, cool. This is before I lowered and added the supercharger and all that jazz. Can get a good idea of the jet black though

I usually don't stoop to people your level but if you're going to post shit about me, you'd better back it up with something. Cause calling me out about needing more practice is stepping in the wrong direction. I hate to tell you but I'm a Novice instructor AND a 2 time Regional Champion, AND a 3rd place winner in the Valvoline Cup. So who needs the practice now?

I have lots of performance info on every type of mod for a Civic. Why? Cause I autocross... Want the greatest stopping pad? I know. Want the best street pad? I know. Want the greatest wearing tire? I know. Stickiest? I know.
