100% interested assuming it works with AUDM vehicles - I'm liking your tuning philosophy/approach

Yes sir it will work with your application.

Added you to the list. I’m currently working with the mods to get the Sponsorship through and once that goes through I will make the dedicated thread.

Hopefully next week update on more mods! Went with something I did not want size wise but the savings were too much.

and this is not related to the civic but figured I would share the way I recovered my stolen car. Completely destroyed.

Agreed, @Jester04 -- also curious to know how long it was missing and what it looked like before it was stolen, because it looks to me like they managed to wreck just about everything.

So the story is simple, car was completely stock. Dropped it off at the body shop to repaint and then start the mechanical work. Body shop guy took the car apart for the repaint. He went through some financial trouble and closed up shop without telling me. Relocated the car to another place and refused to tell me where it was because I believe he did not have the money to pay me back the deposit. So he decided to lie about working on the car.

When no progress was given I started pressuring him and more lies, with him telling me that the car was done that he was waiting on some parts that broke to deliver the vehicle. Made a point that I wanted to come see the car so to schedule a time and he never replied back. Went by the shop and that is when I found out he was no longer there. Kept trying to reach him and he was ignoring me completely.

Had to involve a Lawyer to sue him, and now that the lawsuit was pending he replied that he wanted to avoid a lawsuit and he gave the location of the car. Keep in mind this whole process took about a year. And my car has been missing since March 2023 and last week is when he finally revealed the location of the car. And when I went to pick it up that is how I found it.

This is how the car looked before it was dropped off.

What an unfortunate encounter. I hope things work out in your favor. You have some very nice toys.
