Ok, im a little late on this:




Looking at these pics, Ill try to take better ones.

Well, I just got my ticket written off, which didnt really do much but reduce a $190 ticket to $67. Im greatfull that its $67, but I thought fix-it-tickets were just well, you fix it, and no fine. Well whatever. Aside from that, a week after I had my exhaust done, some cop literally went out of his way to pull me over. I mean, this guy busted a u-turn, and chased me down for maybe a half a mile to get me. I was literally in front of my house when he got me.

This is how the story goes:
It was sunday and I was heading home from church. I had just made a left hand turn, but seconds before I made the turn an interceptor was on the opposite road going with traffic. I made the turn and just went on with my buisness. Maybe after a minute and a half of driving down, I see a cop car turn onto the street I was on. Since I wasn't speeding, or didnt speed the whole way home, I didnt have anything to worry about.Im about to get to a stop sign which I have to turn on, and I look into my rear view mirror. I notice that the car was haulin balls, so I started to think he probably was coming for me. I could have easly just taken the turn, then hit the street where I live on and lost the cop, but I didnt. So I get to the stop sign and prepare to turn. By this time the cop caught up to me and was going to turn too. I made the right hand turn and hopped into the middle lane to make a left, as I did that the cop jumped in the middle an flashed his lights. Seeing this I got pissed and took the turn anyways and pulled over right at the entrance of the community I live at. So I get my apaers and stuff ready and he walks up and tells me the reason he pulled me over was cuz my exhaust was modified for bull this and that. As I gave him my papers, I explained to him I just got my exhaust done to not make noise since I didnt have a muffler when I got my last ticket, so I also gave him the previous ticket. He goes back to his car and does his pig stuff. As he was back ther, I could see him thrue the rear view, and I could tell he was confused. After 10mins. of waiting, he comes back and tells me its normally a citation, so I tell him the life story of how my muffler fell off, and I got the ticket, and how I went to the muffler shop and had a muffler+cat installed. So he asked me to start it and rev it, in which I did. He wa so confused he just let me go, in which I drove about 10 yards and I was home.
Long story short, pig saw I had a, aftermarket muffler. Pig tries to give me ticket, but gets confused, then pig lets me go.

Sorry its soo long, but I had to vent b4 I go postal. Aside from that, Ive come to the conclusion that I have a blown head gasket, coolant went in clean 5 months ago, found coolant to be black 1month ago.

Pimp slap a silencer in those babies! itll be quiter while at the same time showin people you mean buisness.

Thats the biggest sig Ive ever seen!

Ah, I cant find it.

There was a guy sellin his civic on craiglist with 965k on it. It had the original motor and tranny. He never had to rebuild it. He went thrue 6 water pumps, belts, millions of sparkplugs and many other regular maintenance items. Cars in good shape, and so was the interior.

Good News! Project REX is moving along, just got the exhaust done yesterday. Put a b16 CAT on so the car is quiet, then had the exhaust welded, 2 1/4" piping from the control arm, all the way to the tuner muffler with crush bends. I forgot to ask the guy for mandrel bends. Car seems to be running smoother, or it may just be I dont hear the exhaust anymore. Ill upload pics 2night or 2marrow.

HEY, my fun cars rockin 169k, but thats on the body, dont know bout the motor.

Also keeps the miles low on the fun car, and more reliable for those race days (as long as you maintain it). So far im learning this the hard way, and my fun car is my daily driver at the moment.

Your just a target for cops, you should put your car on sleeper status, stock on the outside, runs 12's on the inside.

If I had the money, I woulda bought something different, but this one was givin to me from a friend since the other one died. Im just tryin to get this ticket written off so I can go on with my life.

Getting a really big headache from this car at the moment, well, since I got a ticket for no muffler a few days ago, I went to the muffler shop today to get some work done. I needed a cat or else they wouldnt do any work to the car. They guy looked at it, and said it was gonna be $180. Since Im on a budget, I shot down to my cousins shop to get the cat put in since the guy was charging $60 for instal. Since everything went horribly wrong, I ended up owing my cousin $100, and have to wait till monday to get it put in. I really wish the people who put this car "together" did it right. Now im soo strapped for cash I dont know what ima do.

Out here, weve been doing some research on exhaust tickets, and we found out all the tickets the cops are giving us are illegal tickets. Theyre giving us tickets for modified exhausts, but the citation theyre writing about has nothing to do with a modified exhaust, just emissions and that you must have a muffler. Nothing about modified mufflers.

Well, I found out today that as small as my crx is, my celica hood fits in it. I got a carbon fiber hood for cmas, and i needed to take it home from my cousins shop. since i dont have a truck, i had to take it home. it was a tight fit, and i was a lil scared since one of the edges was inches away from my neck. i took the back streets and drove really slow. i wish i coulda took a pic of it.

Oh, well, when I got pulled over for my exhaust, cop told me to get a muscle car cuz my car wasnt that fast. My face was turning red cuz I was trying not to laugh. Guess he thought I was pissed.

That sucks. Well, I just got done paying off a $600+ ticket.

Oh, out here we just call it a front mount. Sucks about your bumper lip.

Good news! ive got the GSR ecu ordered, bad news is that some guy got to the shop a second before me and bought the conversion harness before I could. Ironically he also had a crx. Oh well, Ill have em order me another. Either way id have to wait for more income to install it, so I may just pick up the type-r intake manifold.

FMIC, anyone care to explain?

I was mistaken, it is a type-r manifold.

Ooops, as they say at newcelica, reading > me.

As for the custom exhaust, Im going 2-1/4" piping because of my ticket. I believe the piping I have in there already is 2.5. It just doesnt fit the headers correctly, and there is no muffler. My cousin is going to hook me up with the conversion harness hopefully this weekend. Also, I believe he has either a type-r or gsr intake manifold. Ill try to get that from him next check. Ive decided that ima go with the GSR comp for sure. I just cant believe that all this stuff is actually going to happen soon, as opposed to me saying something and waiting 8months for it to happen. Also, I manage to sell the fender from my other car, so itll be a lil extra money in my wallet.

Well, I have decided, since I got a ticket for modified exhaust (Im missing my muffler), my test pipe doesn't sit right with the headers (test pipe sits at an angle), and the pipe hits the control arm causing tremendous amounts of noise which is not only annoying, but very embarrasing, Im gonna get my exhaust custom welded at an exhaust shop. Im thinking of going free flowing cat with 2-1/4" piping, and 2-1/2" at the rear control arm for when I upgrade the 2-1/4" piping. Also, I recieved from work an american express gift card for $150. Ive decided that it will go to my new computer. Im currently stuck on the GSR ecu and the Del Sol ecu. One of my freinds told me that Ill get a check engine light, and v-tec wont activate if I use the GSR ecu.

So, u gonna sell those seats?

Man, I gotta go to Japan and learn from the best!

First, I wish I lived in cali, second, I wish I had a RWD to try drifting.
