Run the downpipe out the hood. All the fast cars are doing it.

And those of you who are knocking his intercooler being 'crooked,' it has a back door setup. It cannot be 100% straight with how the turbo is positioned.

Other than the ding on the cooler, I like it. Straight business on the outside and when you pop the hood it looks like a race car.

(now i know some have mint race cars but i don't like to polish my engine bay more than I do my paint)

Agree'd.
Invest in getting the gears heattreated and coated and get some 24.5's and roll out.
I know your building it as a street car but if you did that(put longer gears in it) when you put 24.5s(or anything thats gonna hook. 24.5s is the biggest i'd go on a stock trans/treated trans).

Wanna hook on the street, put some 235/60 BFGs on it. Yeah, the car make look stupid like that but I guess people can poke fun if they want.

 

yea really don't understand 500whp, and stretched 205's.

Street car or not, i cant imagine it being that fun to drive every day without looking like a total douche trying to accelerate.

 

yea like jarrod said u dont need longer gears just a bigger slick i went 154 mph on a stock itr tranny with a 4.4 final drive reving to 10.5, if u put those long gears in there u should stay with the 22's

 

Travis, as far as the look goes
don't change the car. I think its perfect..well maybe some Fortune ti lug nuts to finish off the look .lol

 

Looks great, it's been a while since I saw a Civic I actually liked.
