Hey Silver, My little "dream list", check it out guys, input plz.

Just a small list of what I want to do, I compiled it during my chemistry lecture

Main platform:
6 G Civic

Engine:
B18C
B18B
Cams
Cam Gears (AEM, whatever.)
Forged Pistons
Underdrive pulley Kit
-Other build parts.. Suggest some please.


Booooooooost:
T4/T3 Equiv turbo, I plan to piece the turbo kit together myself, and I don't want to purchase a kit. I'd like to find a nice LARGE ball bearing turbo, I can spend a little bit more in this area.
Intercooler (Need to find a reputable company.)
Type - S BOV
Wastegate (Haven't the slightest idea about quality, can you point me in a direction for a good quality wastegate?)
Turbo Manifold- ? I hope I dont have to get one custom fabricated.

And of course:
NAWZ... ahha, seriously though, only a small bottle. Spraying just aint my thang. I hear a wet system is best on a FI system?

Gauges: (Just incase I see a few for a good price)

Boost / Vac
Oil Press
Water Temp
Oil temp
Volt (nyeh..)
5" Tach w/ light.

Electronics:
Boost Controller
VAFC
"Custom" style switch box that will control lights, fuel, water, and other useless things that I find nifty. Wiring will be done by me of course.

Interior:
Will wrap everything in a high quality material eventually, however here are the basics I have for now.

Shift Knob (weakkkkk..)
Short Shifter
NEONSSS HELL YA
Indiglos
Sparco Seats
5 pt Harness (hooking to the chassis of course.)

Stereo:
Only time will tell, this is one of the lowest on my list of priorities.

Exterior:
CF Hood
NEONS HELL YEAAAAAAA

Suspension:
-Setup 1: GC coils + tokico blues (cheapest.)
-Setup 2: Tokico Illuminas(not too bad.)
-Setup 3: Koni Full Coilovers (ouch $)

Rubber/Rims:
16" LIGHT wheels, color, design will be chosen. Not too important.
Yokohamas, Nittos, doesn't matter too much. Anything but kumho ecstas.


Comments:

Yea, some may think this is an awfully ricey setup, especially with the whole neon/indiglo setup, but I've gotta tell ya, I'm just having some fun .. I know how people hate on the loud ricey rice rockety sound that may be eminating from my exhaust, Hell I bet you guys in Canada can hear it from here, but I really don't care .

My goal:

To build a competitive car that still retains its speed and style at the same time. Hell my car will be a sleeper for a while until I get most of my aesthetic crap in

I will be consulting with thermalfi'd with turbo help of course. He is my h0me boyeeee... (not really.. ) HAR.

Silver, what do you think?

Anybody's input would be grateful.
