Firstly hi
I've actually been dwelling around these forums for a few months in search of a new car after my dad crashed (or someone crashed him) the 98 EK1 that was supposed to be handed down too me =/ Currently first year Uni student on green (got them for a few months) and this is my third car counting my dad's civic. The only problem with new ek i picked up is i don't quite like is the muffler it comes with as it sounds loud? i don't know if its loud or not never owned a car with non stock muffler. From the looks of it looks like 4inchs wide = / which is a cop magnet so im hoping to replace that soon take a picture of that soon as i have no idea what kinda of muffler it is.
Well. . . this is my current ride that i picked up last week and i'm loving it ; )

If i remember correctly this is the limited edition cxi that was to celebrate the Honda indy 300 back in 1999 and only went for sale for one month according to this article here (http://www.autoweb.com.au/cms/A_51688/title_Honda-Celebrates-Honda-Indy-300-With-Special-Editions/newsarticle.html)? I'm not sure but all i know it comes in the same color code (Y-56) as the Phoenix Yellow EK9 = D.
Bought a Vti-r cluster with the carbon fibre trim and planning to do that as first mod and slowly learning about transplanting a B series in it one day.

Anyhow i thought it be nice to say hi for once. I'd love to hear you guys opinion on what i should be working to make on par with a ek9.

Just wondering if it possible get different types of gauges in the cluster as i want something like the CTR cluster without paying big bucks. 70 bucks total for this project.
