Default Got rid of the GP this weekend.

And I miss her already.

I'm going to miss ripping her in a straight line and hearing that supercharger whine. Though I'm not going to miss the loud exhaust, the problems, puting $70 in her every 3 days and the speeding tickets.

So I got the 08 on Saturday and today I just put in an HID kit and so far I'm really impressed with the car. Here's some pics.






Here was my GP this summer.


Just before I put the 3.4" pulley on.

With the overpriced CAI


On Saturday at the dealer, dirty and striped down. I'm going to miss you.

Sorry to hear it... I bet you will miss the GP.

Nope, I could only hope they did at the factory so they won't rust.

Do you have that K&N intake set up off the GP?

Part of it, though I used the bottom part of it as a PCM tray.

Do you still have the tubing and the part that is supposed to keep it blocked off from the engine bay heat? I dont care about the filter, I have one that should work.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the econobox in the next year or so when gas prices go way higher.

All you need is the underglows and a spoiler, then stage 2 is cutting the springs and an ebay intake Did it come with any stickers to put on, lol. J/K

lol, all I'm going to do to it besides HID's is put my subs and deck in it. And the wheels off the GP fit since the new Civics are 5 studs now. I figure they'll look good in the summer, I'll use the hybrid wheels for winter tires. But yeah, I'm not even puting in a K&N drop in filter lol. In 3 years I'll buy something nice, but for now I'll just use this box to get me around.
