A night out in the civics

About 2 weeks ago i made some footage of both mine, and Tom's civic. All video was filmed using my Sony DCR-SR55E, with a cheap eBay Fisheye lens. For editing i used Pinnacle Studio 12. This is the first video ive ever edited, so it might not be perfect, but it turned out pretty well for a first try i think.
Also, converting to Vimeo has made it a bit darker, and a few bits are a bit harder to see.

Enjoy!

Yay! Nardi

So, about a week and a half ago, on the 15th, i finally got my Nardi Deep corn.
That weekend i went to Noud, so i checked to see if any of the local shops there had a hub for my civic. Bad luck for me, 3 shops in the area, an noone could help me. Bummer, guess that would have to wait then.

Still was a good weekend tho, Noud had just bought a new camera, so we went out to shoot some photos. That also gave me an opportunity to mess around with my cam a bit, and shoot some footage of both mine, and Tom's civic.

Still need to get around editing the video's, put some nice music on the background, and see how it turns out.

Anyways, back to the steeringwheel. On tuesday, before i went to school, i went to stop at FullCarTuning. Lucky for me, they had a nice hub, on which the nardi fits. Took it to work on wednesday, and mounted it in the car after work.
Because its still winter, its dark early, and i didnt get the chance to take some photos of it, untill today that is.

It feels real nice, and i could recommend it to anyone. The quality is outstanding, real good Italian craftsmanship. Oh, and please dont mind the mess thats called my interior, i know i need to vacuum it, but i just hate to do that in the freezing cold.

1st blog entry

Hi, my name is Kay, and im a greasemonkey.
So yeh, i love cars, and all the things around it. I love working on cars, i love driving cars, so thats basicly what this blog is going to be about;
My car, my mates cars, cool cars ive come across, etc, etc.

At the moment i drive a Comet blue '98 Civic hatch. Fun little car, which could do with a little more power if you ask me. Currently it has about 115hp, deriving from the pretty much stock D15z6. Mind you that this is an economical engine (Vtec-E), and has pretty long gears, so its not exactly the fastest around. All in all its a great little motor, and ive done a few modifications to the car, to make it more enjoyable to drive.
Here is the current spec/mod list;
-JDM tyte blue dildo shiftknob
-Carbon whalepenis intake/airfilter
-El cheopo eBay rearmuffler
-Koni 1130 Suspension kit
-Homemade front strutbar
-C-pillar bar
-Type-R replica frontlip & frontgrille
-CRX DelSol driver & passenger seat
-BuddyClub P1 Racing SF challenge 15x7 in white/blue
-Uniroyal Rainsport 2 tires in 195/50/15
-Tilted stock rearspoiler
-Nardi Deep Corn 350mm on a GDL alloy hub

I will try to update this blog as much as i can, with updates on my car, sightings or whatever comes to mind.

Enjoy!
