I had the 15th anniversay kit molded on my car for over 2 years, and also wondered if it was ever going to crack or warp, and they never did. It all depends on who does it and how much time they take. Civics with widebody kits made with fiberglass tend to warp or crack due to poor workmanship, use of cheap fiberglass and god forbid too much bondo. Curing and letting the Fiberglass and mold everytime you lay on another layer helps it stay on better as well. custom kits dont take weeks or days to come out right... it takes months. I could write a book on how to do a custom kit and how to paint it. Basically my car never cracked or warped before or even now. Paint also plays a big role with it as well. It took me 2 months to do the 15th anniversay kit, and 6 months to do one I have now, which is barrowed from the 15th, RE widebody and Rmagic as well, so it isnt really a 15th anniversay slapped on. If you saw my car at last sevenstock and I will attend this years as well, you will see it for yourself. only problem I have with my kit is rock chips, which having a thick paint job helps, and scrapping on driveways sometimes... but having a lowered car for so long now, Im pretty good at taking them .



Anyways, my mod list is too long to list and I use to have a picture gallery, till the othersite closed thier gallery. Anyways, I have a T-66 sitting in my garage that hasnt gone in yet, cause Im waiting for my manifold, but Im currently running 99 J spec turbos at the moment and Im pretty happy with that.

Alright, call me stupid. I don't know much about Turbos, but why are there two intakes? One for the intercooler? By the way. I really like the car, and nice job on racing that bike. Or whoever raced it.

I also liked the car at an earlier stage. It reminded me of Petit's car. Not saying I don't like it now though. The bodywork is flawless from what I can see.



Crash, do you plan on going with a wider wheel/tire up front? Or a spacer?

That is damn sexy.



I won't be critical of any of you seven owners, because I'm not one.



Anyways, a car is an extension of yourself. As long as you are happy with that extension, that's all that matters.

It was a rotor rider sticker given to me at sevenstock when I met the people from the RX-7 Magazine from Japan . I dont think you can buy them anywhere here, so I got pretty lucky and go a few stickers from them.
