Well its been almost 3 years since I lost the GAGT in an accident and even though I dont post much here anymore, I still browse around and hope some of you remember me. I finally decided to treat myself to something nice for my Civic and got a Jackson Racing Supercharger. The last time I posted up what I had done with my Si, I got a couple rude comments and haters, but its all good, still would like to share what I've done with the car that replaced my GAGT.

Current Mods:

-AEM V2
-Megan Shorty Header
-Magnaflow Catback
-Jackson Racing Supercharger (Street Kit) with 4.4" pulley pushing 5 PSI
-Denso Iridium Ik22s (one step colder plugs than stock)
-Ghetto $5 oil catch can

Exterior:
-HFP (Honda Factory Performance) Lip Kit (front, sides, and rear)
-HFP Spoiler
-UKDM Civic Type R Taillights
-VIS Mugen style carbon fiber hood
-5% tint on rear 3 windows, 35% on the fronts

Suspension:
-Eibach Pro-Kit (1" in front, 1.1" in rear)
-Acura RSX Type S 19mm Rear Sway Bar
-16" Acura RSX Base Model Rims ghetto painted bronze on ****ty stock Michelins (205-55-16) or 17" Rev Model XIs on Ultra HPRs (205-40-17).

Misc:
-Skunk 2 Titanium weighted Knob

Nice clean car man. That roots blower should add some much needed torque too. Must be a fun daily driver in traffic now. :) Keep up the good work!

Nice! How much did it set you back?
Got the charger for $1500 used, new plugs were $44, and two Goodyear Gatorback belts were about $45. Did the install myself so labor was free :cool:

thanks. As for the future of my car, I'm pretty much done with mods. If I ever do drop more money into it, I'm going to upgrade to the Race Kit (bigger injectors, Kpro ECU tune, 4" pulley, colder plugs).

why'd ya get rid of the 17s??? those look a lot better on there

still lookin great though!
hey thanks. took the 17s because the tires on them were crap and wore down quickly, plus the rims are some knockoff brand and got faded and chipped, plus one time while I was working on my brakes, I had the car on 4 jackstands with all the rims removed and my dad decided to move the rims and dropped two of them, pretty much scratching the sh1t out of them and chipping the lips. They are just sitting at my parents' house. Never again will I buy knockoff brand rims! Plus I was able to pick up the 16s for $200 and the came with tires with only 3000 miles on them. Couldnt pass'em up!

nice, clean! im a fan :)
ps: 4cyl boost ftw.
thanks! 4cyl boost ftw + 1! hows the redline treating you? im a fan, think they look much cleaner than the Cobalts!
