oh yea and some pics

[hellshockshade]

Wanted to put some pics of the car up but they wont show. What is up?

[pdiggitydogg]

oh, you cant upload pics that way...
you can attach them to a post 1 at a time (see toward the bottom of the "reply" page)
or you can host them on a free site like webshots, imagestation, etc and then paste links

[hellshockshade]

Oh....thanks...here goes...

[hellshockshade]

lets try that just a little bigger..geez..sorry I'm retarded...its the silly girl coming out.

[hellshockshade]

this is the honda and my room mate Bryan chillin

[Grip72]

oh...my....god

[pdiggitydogg]

im gonna have to plead the 'thumper philosophy'

[IALuder]

its nice. but i dont like the pint striping imo. nice ride.

and may i ask why dual exhuast on 4 cylinders? does it actually help hp or just sound better.

[pdiggitydogg]

^it "looks" better
of course thats just opinion

if anything it hinder's performance

[Wren57]

remove the yellow stripes and the honda vinyl, get single exhaust (dual is HEAVY), and some clean 1-piece jdm headlights and you have a tight car... remember, not every mod is a good mod... sometimes the best thing is to *remove something...

just some helpful hints from adult film stars;)

[hellshockshade]

Yea..I bought if from my room mate...he did most of the exterior stuff..now I'm working on the engine junk. Workin with a guy who has an 03 cobra and some drag cars. Seein what I can do.

far as the exhaust thing goes it sounds a hell of a lot better than the two others we tried. Hate that raspy high end shit most hondas get.

[hellshockshade]

Be nice guys...I'm a girl and I try real damn hard to make this car awesome. I just got it two months ago and I am doing what I can to get it to not be some kind of fake broke ass ride..give me a little credit...least for bein a chick and tryin..damn. :no:

[Wren57]

if your roomate is responsible for all of that rice, then you are not at fault so its ok... just so you know though, I will not give you special treatment because you are a girl; why should I? Do you not wish to be treated equally in society, or do you only want to be treated equally when you have something to gain by being such? (sorry- hypocrisy of double standards bugs me)...

just pull the vinyl shit off and itll look nice

[pdiggitydogg]

sound and performance are two different things though

plus you could save yourself around 15-10 or so pounds by removing 1/2 of that pipe

[hellshockshade]

No..I expect no special treatment..and yes I would like to be treated like an equal but it has taken a lot of pushing my way through to get anywhere with this. Every guy treats you like you're stupid and I have to bust through that shit everyday just to get a straight answer and get taken seriously.

[Wren57]

honey, the reason you dont get taken seriously is because you have yellow vinyl and tacky shit all over your car...:kiss: not because you are a girl...

[hellshockshade]

yea I understand...but...we'll see how things go. I may change it...any suggestions on a particular type?

[Wren57]

particular type of what? im willing to help, just brutally honest at times;)

[hellshockshade]

type of exhaust since everyone is hitting this one hard..I hate those stupid huge tips..but want something that sounds good too..remember..I drive this everyday

[cashizslick]

honestly, go for the clean look - To be honest, most people who are really into tuning a honda wont want that stuff on their car.

Ill be the first one to tell you that cars with all kinds of crap on them are what give cars like mine a bad rap.

[pdiggitydogg]

I dont want to sound like a jerk...but its gonna be kinda hard for anyone who's really into the whole car thing to take you seriously with all the vinyl (yes I know you said your roommate did it)

I can honestly tell you that, around here, if you just ask questions people will take you seriously.
There are very few asses on this site and lots of informed users...ask and you shall recieve (like the camshaft info).

(oh, and just dont start typing like ''y0 dawgz i be needen dis hur part 4 ma rId".....'cause that pisses me off ;) )
we lost a user recently because of that...but I couldnt help myself from making fun......whoops!


edit**oh, if you want a decent exhuast just go thermal r&d, magnaflow, custom works great, etc...dont forget a resonator! Lots of people dont put one on and thats the reason why it sucks so bad. The more resonators you have the quieter it will be.
Hell, Ive thought about 2 resonators on a custom 2.5" pipe with an es oval muffler...it'd probably be pretty decent and under $300

Get a Thermal R&D stealth ( i have the classic, but some crazies out there think its too loud) or an Apexi WS system if you want a quiet not extreme system

[hellshockshade]

okay okay..so from the very beginning..forget all the shit...I like my car just fine..its mine and I enjoy driving it. That's why I want to make it better...forget the looks and help me with that...thats all I ask. Truce?

[Wren57]

contact hondaman-iac via PM, or AIM him at saritus. He is our local man with the hookup :yes: I'm sure he can recommend a good exhaust- I know several 350z owners that also have hondas have recommended invidia and skunk2:yes:

as long as we can express our opinions w/out being called haters.

BTW, if you like your car than thats all that matters, but dont get mad when somebody else doesnt like it.

I get all kinds of people telling me how to rice out my car, and i keep tellin them the same 2 words . . . . . .and its not lets dance lol

[Wren57]

^id also like to second the idea of a custom setup... maybe even from header-> back... you could get a hi-flow cat, resonator, and muffler for probably 300-400 installed at a local muffler shop...

I love magnaflow, had them on my previous car and kicked ass!!!

[Shaved &/or Laid]

(pdiggity if i lose my account im taking my ECU back :D)

And, 'babe', 'chic', 'hun', 'moon pie' whatever term of endearment you choose - if you want a GOOD exhaust that is respectable and sounds ****ing awesome, get the RS*R Ex-Mag system. Its like an agressize stock sound. Hook up and intake and itll be PERFECT.

And, to help Cashizslick out:

[Shaved &/or Laid]

Damn v2.0

GAH!!!
shaved and cash:
BAN WARNING

nah...I didnt even try to read that scrambled crap:crazy: :nono:

[ebpda9]

LMAO, some peeps. i'd say for the exhaust thermal, magnaflow or a flowmasters. the latter 2 are cheaper and i can get them to you under 400 shipped
:yes:

[IALuder]

pdigg laying the smack down.

i heard Greddy is good. but im not sure if they make it for your car. could custom make one for less 150.

[pdiggitydogg]

nah...i wouldnt really ban em for that
its all in good fun

[sohc_vtec 2NR]

i love my greddy EVO, but i don't think they make it for your car though..

ps. i love the dayum pictures! ;)

[oc civic]

this is the best thread ever..

just checking up on the site like i do every once in a while...

this thread is better than that stupid girl with the purple and flame stickers coming out of her door..

[showcivic92]

hmm i see the car good start might have to work on the riceyness but other than that ... clean motor swap ... clean paint things can happen .... need a turbo kit for bseries motor? lemme know lates james

I also have had the classic Thermal R and D system. Its beyond me why u like the bumble bee trapped in the beer can sound but.... Its cool if u like it. Personally I hate thermal R and D. Not just the sound but the fitment too, it is way too loud (no cat), as well as all the fiberglass burned out of the muffler in a year, and it just made popping sounds, and sounded nasty then.


if u think its not very loud well go on a 5,000 mile road trip like i did. Then come back if u can hear anybody for about 2 weeks. My head was ringing forever!

[pdiggitydogg]

You got a shitty one then
thermal exhausts are really nice
fitment was dead-on for me
no buzzing sounds AT ALL
Id happily buy another one any time
