Great time to be a GT4 owner with all these great mods from Dundon, BGB, Deman, etc. Just shows you how much Porsche held back with his car.






Yes.. 3 sets of wheels and counting If roads are decent, I will be doing a shake down of the runner in 20 degree temps.. Nice artic air will make the runners happy!!!

Quick Update as of 01/21..

Went out for a short drive in 20 degree temps with limited traction.. Initial impressions are very positive. The best way to describe the power add is going from stock catted headers to DMS headers.. Remember that extra kick in the pants from 3k to redline? It's just like that.. For me, I have been approaching this build in increments with IPD and TB first, followed by DMS headers and then GT3 exhaust conversion. With the DMS runners, the incremental difference is definitely noticeable and no mid range dip in the power band before rocketing to redline. Power delivery is smooth and quick.. For the track drivers out their, 2nd gear corner exits will be really appreciated as it pulls hard to north of 7K with no let down.. In the past, pulls toward redline runs out of steam once you go north of 6K.. That's it for now.. Will shake it down some more when it's not so cold outside and the roads are clear of salt and sand..

Bad ***, look forward to more insight. Looks like these might be in my future plans as well.

lol... I told her I wanted to buy a Civic because I needed a small commuter car with a backseat for baby. When I rolled up in the CTR, she was not amused.

From purchase day, 16 years old all over again. My first car was a CRX, and this car gives me that feeling all over again.

Classic Type-R color.. Love it! The good news this time around is that you can forgo the pimples and nervousness around girls :P

The styling is a bit much, but it’s hillarious when teenage girls roll up and expect to see something but are greeted by a 41 y/o.

Oh man... really need to see if I can negotiate myself some free time in the garage this weekend! Understanding our gearing has always been fairly long in these cars I've been convinced that the power drop north of 6k only exacerbates it. The added pull up top should help reduce that period up top of lots of noise but not so much go.

Not a huge Civic guy but definitely dig your Raptor! Just picked up a Shadow Black one in November for my daily and was thinking long and hard about going with Leadfoot.

I used to daily the Raptor before my Civic. It’s the ultimate daily. Go anywhere and do anything. I am not crazy about the way the civic looks but it’s so much fun to drive. It definitely captures the fun of older Hondas.

Sorry if you've posted it before but do you have the tube as well? Results sound very promising.
