Project Civic- Plain to Insane
I was looking at my Civic one day and I thought to myself that this thing's too plain. I felt unsatisfied with it for some reason. Here's where it started. I shaved the door handles and filled in the seams on the door trim and liscence plate area.

I painted it gloss red, stuck the six cell mod on, lowered it and still managed to have the C-logic work.

Here it is, all done. I went out and bought sponsor decals and the body kit. I made my own custom alteza tail lights, painted the headlight housings black, put a black trim around the lenses, made dual exhaust, and painted the rims bronze.

Hey that looks really nice, by the way, did you make it so that whenever you disconnect the extra 2 cells, you can stil run it with the stock 4?, if so...how did you do it?...cause I'm thinking of doing something like that myself, only that I might just put a switch somewhere in the car to activate them, well..besides that...that's a nniiccee ride

How I lowered it/ Battery mod.
I had to trim the back mount about 3- 4mm or so. As for the front i used the stock mount but i dremeled the mount on top so it would be a thinner. It took about 2mm's off. then I put tape on the hole on the mount so it would fit the thinner mount better and push it up at the same time.
as for the batteries. I made a plug for it so i can just use 4 cell too. its just basically a plug that has a wire looped in between connecting pos and neg making it basically one wire . The car's fast with 6 cell but it cant handle for crap so i take it off every now and then.
Angelo.

That would be awesome to have a switch for the 2 extra cells on your controller and them act kinda like NOS just push the button and more power added to make it faster.
