Well I have finally run out of things that I am going to do to my civic once I got my PG7 ecu last night. I've been steadily adding shit to it over the past 2 yrs, because I pay my way through college and am in a permanent state of broke-ness. After all was said and done I have only spent $3700 total including paint, rims, and engine mods. Yes there is alot more I could do but on this machine, like boosting it, but I am finished until I get my EG hatch sometime next year. A drive train with 190k wouldn't hold up well to boost anyways. So here is my mod list if anyone cares. Not the fastest on the street but definitely better than stock!

89 civic DX hatch
D15B2
Moderate Head work (done by me)
MPFI swap
PG7 ecu
CAI
Holley Airmass header
Bosal Brospeed catback exhaust
JG 301X cam w/ AEM gear

I have to say that I like the Bosal Catback alot. It doesn't have that annoying angry bee fart can exhaust note that you would get with the $35 ebay muffler that you seem to see everyone with these days. I really have nothing to compare it too since it's the only exhaust I've ever had, but none the less, I like it. The JG 301X cam is the one mod that I've made to my car that made the most difference! Last october I blew my head gasket under hard acceleration and decided to put the Civ away for the winter. During this time I decided to rebuild the head, PnP, and do a valve job myself. So after I had the rebuilt head I put it back on with the MPFI swap. More power...awesome...I thought. Then I was like...I should get a cam...so I did. Found the JG for $70 on Egay. I know I know, I thought it would be junk when I got it too, but NOOOO. Put it in and fooled with the cam timing a little bit, and bang instant butt dyno power. It was rad...Then I wanted MORE power so I bought the exhaust header and PG7 ECU, it added some, but I still want more! (need tuning) The only option left is running boost, but I'm waiting to do that on the next civic. Still stayin with the D though, no B series traitor here. I'm gonna spend the $5000 for a B18C1 swap on a fully built D16A6 to go in an EG hatch. I friggin love those cars.

I hear that...I'm 6 into mine and i was just complaining to AgentJam about how lazy I have become, with a whole mess of parts waiting to go on just sitting in my new garage
