bored.. some new pics (56k might be a little rough)
 

as some of you know... i was recently selected ride of the month on another honda site so i just thought i would share with you (who don't already view that site) some of the pics.. and get a little feedback.. car is a work in progress.. so i still have a ways to go..

thanks for looking






























thankls for looking.. comments positive and negative welcome

You and I have our differences and don't agree on much, but I can say that its a nice car... very clean, good work done to it. I've never understood the point of those hook-things sticking out from the front grill and rear of the car however. Care to explain?

tow hooks..

like a "race spec" part.. they are fully functional... some race tracks require them at certain events in case they need to move your car.. but yes. i honestly got them for the looks...

and thank you for the compliment.. it means a lot..:yes:

very nice, a little hardcore with the stripping of the interior, but still very very nice.

couple of questions: what do you run with the nitrous(and at what shot)?

and how much weight did you save taking out the interior and do you think it was worth it? since now its probably really loud in there.

Wow, that car has "Car of the month at honda-acura.net written all over it".

I have said it before and ill say it again - nice ride OC.

thanks a lot man



not too sure ive beaten mid 14 second cars on the street

i run between a 50 and 70 shot....



well i removed a LOT of stuff thats standard on an ex.. like the whole cruise system, the window washer, wipers assembly, interior.. i really took these things otu because i never used them.. not because i expected a huge weight savings.. but i bet between ALL the things i removed.. i saved a decent amount..

thanks... again;)

im like the car. nice!:yes:

but man your air filter looks dirty as hell. maybe you should clean it or get a new one imo.

its not really that old.. it gets dirty pretty quick under the hood like that.. but believe it or not.. its pretty clean...

such a clean car :yes:

What do you do if it rains with no wipers?

rain-x owns me:yes:

hard to believe but yes.. it works that good..

in fact its snowing now.. and i have not had any issues at all.. even with the snow (knocks on wood)

I used to use that stuff but I forgot about it. I'll have to try it again if its that good.

I wouldnt say rainX is that good...I still use my wipers all the time

Im glad the racing mirrors arent on...and I still dont like the benen toe hooks...but I guess if theyre functional...

I wish my car was clean right now...theres no point in washing it though

no LSD?

i like it. :yes:

such a beautiful car....

clean ass ride man...sweet what you have done so far. haven't read through everything but is that the "thin side molding" on there?
thanks for sharing the pics of your tight ride..you deserve yuor props..keep it up...:yes: :yes:

to each there own
:)


once again.. to each there own ;)

i LOVE the hooks.. i need to lower the front one a little.. but besides that i love them


nope not yet..

thanks a lot guys

yup, jdm thin side molding



thanks... ;)

oh for sure man...I know
just my opinion


I do like it though...as always

thanks.. i like when people offer opinions even if they differ from my taste (like the tow hooks) helps give differant insight and ideas to the overall project

i'm just curious...how much did you spend total on your car??

thats a really good question.. and i really dont know.. kind of a lot i guess. i mean including all the things i bought and then changed my mind on.. TONS of money.... if you just look at all the little things.. like all the autometer gauges, all the jdm stuff (all bought new) probably a decent amount... but its over a pretty long amount of time.. so no big deal

almost forgot...
How do you like your autometer gauges? Do you feel theyre accurate?
Im looking at the Z series (plain old black :) ) for the future

yeah they are straight.. i have fuel pressure IN the car now and i KNOW that its the same as teh b&m that was under the hood, AND i know the nitrous pressure one is also accurate, due to the NOS one i had for comparison.. and the tach matches the vafc so id say yeah.. everything seems good.. good price good quality.. good product

excellent...thanks

n/p... are you never on aim? or did you change your name or something?

my aim has been so crappy lately...
i tried a new sn and it still acts up...buddies randomly blocked, signs off whenever it pleases, disconnects direct connects, blah blah......it doesnt work
Ive been trying to find a universal im program that I like...but so far no good

try 'trillian'

i think im blocked again


and OC the car is nice, but youre a helpful guy too, and thats more important...

/end sappiness

;)

trillian eh
well...we'll try that

oh and oc, the name that i tried switching to is DaBigMacPMizil


edit**that trillian is shitty....
I dl'd an old version of aim......we'll see how that goes

nice car man...keep it clean

thanks = )
