kaminari hood and bodykit, diablo racing rims on nitto tires, eibach springs with ground control coil-overs, 6inch screens in the headrests, 7in custom mounted in the dash, mb quarts speakers, rockfrod bd-1000 amp, rockford 900 watt amp, 12 inch W7, projector headlights, cf backlights, tci tranny with stall converter, tsi turbo-kit @ 8 psi, Venom vcn-1000 nitrous kit with 50 shot.....

omg that was alot to remember and way too much money cuz i didnt have any hook-ups, and i payed for almost EVERTHING to be installed......

u did put alot of work into it, i can definetly appreciate that. But as far as a 10 second rx8, not very likely.

You made the right choice. Dumping 20g's into a honda civic is quite possibly the stupidest thing you could possibly do with that money. It's a honda civic, an economy car meant to shuffle students and poor people to and from work and the grocery store. There is nothing special about it and no amount of wings, lights, or chrome will make it special.

I'm not trying to pick on you here (OK maybe a little!) but the scene from the Fast and The Furious popped into my head where he says he needs 2 nitrous bottles implying that 2 was faster than 1. Yes I am smart enough to know it just lasts twice as long and that you probably did it for symmetry reasons in the trunk.

noticed its an automatic based on the instrument cluster. might want to get a 6speed before you drop another dime into anything.
