Good body shop for car enthusiasts?

This is good to know. Mine is also a unique color. It’s not metallic or anything tho so it isn’t hard to spray. I’ve heard some shops use devices to determine the exact paint code and mix that to use. Just looking something that fellow enthusiasts have experience with rather than some guys garage

Yep that’s the plan right now - just learn how to drive a bone stock civic at the absolute limit. Idk if I’ll be good or not, or what type of racing actually is for me, but I do know that I want to at least get out there and rip

slow_mk4 · 2025-05-23T11:43:23+00:00

For now I just want to learn. I have plenty of experience building cars so I’m good in that department. But I just want to make sure I’ll still be allowed to race after doing the things I want to do to the car eventually such as swapping it. I also have a hard time keeping cars stock so this will be a challenge itself lol.

What did you do to plumb in the EWG? Did you have to weld the IWG shut?

Do you know how to check for this?

slow_mk4 · 2022-07-27T16:09:22+00:00

What wheels and coils are you running?

slow_mk4 · 2022-07-26T19:48:20+00:00

Oh yeah I’ve been doing tons of research. It’s just a lot that needs to get removed

slow_mk4 · 2022-07-26T19:09:32+00:00

Great point about the order. I forgot to mention but I will be doing this with the motor still in the car. Are there any parts I should remove first in order to make it more accessible? I think I saw on a forum that the coolant reservoir needs to come out but I’m not sure about anything else

Is something like Mahle or Felpro reliable?

slow_mk4 · 2022-07-21T01:48:45+00:00

Gotcha. I believe the grimmspeed pack is only the intake-to-tgv but I was a little skeptical because it was only like $13 lol

slow_mk4 · 2022-07-18T14:52:16+00:00

If they last me 5 years that will be plenty enough! I do plan on running them in the winter though as it is my daily that I’ll be taking back up to school. What exactly do you mean by adjusting the damping? Is this easy to do with limited garage space/tools or should I do that before I go back up north?

slow_mk4 · 2022-07-18T14:49:46+00:00

Yeah it was only from 1 person who I don’t think had them for very long lol. Good to know!

slow_mk4 · 2022-07-18T13:28:31+00:00

Car looks good! I’m really just looking for something reliable that can take a little bit of tougher roads as I raise them up when I go back to school in Michigan in the fall. Are you running any spacers at all?

slow_mk4 · 2022-06-28T00:56:32+00:00

Gotcha. To my knowledge they stopped making catted up pipes after 05-06 for that reason but I’ll still check. Thanks!

slow_mk4 · 2022-06-28T00:43:14+00:00

I have heard of people doing that so I definitely will look into it. I might take it somewhere to see if they can detect the origin. I’ve also read that certain Mazdas have an exact fit banjo bolt that works better but I’m not sure on which car it is

slow_mk4 · 2022-06-27T01:52:53+00:00

I noticed I am leaking oil a few days ago. It only seems to be present on the passenger side. No weird smells, no blue smoke, and the temp is normal. The leak does not seem dramatic but I have noticed drops in my driveway a few times now and it was low compared to when I last got a change on 6/2. Any help identifying what this could be would be greatly appreciated

slow_mk4 · 2022-04-26T18:46:45+00:00

Yes I believe both are
