i got over it completely today
this, you see a lot who have enough money to do an engine swap but never enough money to upgrade the brakes and make the car safeQuote:

possibly the wrong section to put this in, but i'm reverting my EG back to stock... so thats what i'm currently doing to my car... but does anyone in Brisbane have a set of steelies to suit an EG that they're willing to part with for money lol... i wanna sell my rims...
Looked at my EM1 next to me, all sad and un-loved while i installed a headunit and front lip + Front splitter onto the e30.
Naw poor EM1 I think it wants to be vtec'DQuote:

replaced front rubber mats with new carpets ones from supercheap :)
Can't bring myself to use the original Civic ones which have never been used - put them in garbage bags for storage under house - i'm strange lol
Strange indeed. Use them!! I used to use my bride mats daily even with my dirty work boots lolQuote:

Was a greddy kit with TD04 turbo... But im thinkin imma do ma own kit with nissan T25G turbo, more boost :D
Oh wow! - you're really going for it huh lol ;)
Just don't ruin ur experience of driving it, I mean the Civic has to be one of the best mass produced front wheel drive cars made - wasn't really engineered to have a turbo, Civics live for dynamics, balance, handling not straight out hp - I mean was your mate really going to be able to get all that power down anyway...
A DC2R engine would be a better alternative imo if you even go ahead with it - I remember watching a Best Motoring DVD on the CTR and the head of Spoon was saying if he could make any modification it would be to fit the 1.8 DC2R engine :)
thought about getting Zerg boot dampers so my wing (about 3kg with stands it's a heavy bugger) doesn't potentially smash my tail lights every time I close the lid
