Got my idle more or less sorted, fixed a vacuum leak, installed the stock airbox, fixed my headlight alignment, and welded up my exhaust.

I hate engine bay noise so the quietness I’m getting from the stock airbox is glorious. Damn car is nearly silent now.

I’m awful at welding; especially overhead. I’m probably going to cut this out and replace it with a flex-pipe anyways. Has one minor leak but w/e.

Stock game proper! I bought my Civic and thought it was quiet, mid pipe fell off one day and got it replaced. It was so quiet afterwards I couldn’t hear it running from the inside lol. Also, single cam for the win!

Great little car. I just wish it had more like 150hp instead of 107. It feels almost dangerously slow in certain situations.

Totally understand you... have to really push her to get up some hills. The bigger contributor to the slowness is actually the loooooooooooooong geared CX/DX transmission. A S40 5-speed from the EX (Si for the Canadians) should really wake the engine up. That’s going to be my first upgrade once this clutch is toast.

I can’t imagine having shorter gears. 1st gear already tops out at only 30mph.
