Very nice what numbers you putting down? And I see you still have p/s how about a/c? Either way nice car bro keep up the good work

gsl_05

Thanks. I have it tuned dialed in at 300 @ 9lbs right now. I might take the p/s out this winter. Def. no a/c. This car is everything I wanted it to be.

Very nice , I'm the total opposite I'm keeping a/c but will delete p/s later on.. Right now I got a Drag manifold and got both p/s and a/c ..

Looks good man! I think with those wheels, your car would look a little bit if it was a little lower and they were spaced out some. Then again, that would probably worsen your traction so if you're all for speed then disregard this post

Thanks. My car isn't even that low and scrape my 3 inch downpipe. I am definitely not part of the new school, hellaflush trend. I am a traditionalist, keeping a conservative, clean, timeless look, while running the car as fast as I can, keeping the most traction and handling as possible.

I used to run the Drag Gen II kit on this car. I upgraded after I blew the motor in Nov. of 2008. I just turned up the boost 12lbs. BIG difference between 9 and 12lbs. This thing sounds like a SCARAB race boat when on throttle with the 3inch axle-back. The sound is all bidness.

My wet-sanding experiment last year was somewhat of a success. But I left a ton of sanding marks. I decided to splash down some cash for a professional detail. The pics speak for themselves:

The "Hype-R" in the daylight after the detail:

Please put the Jigglypuff socks back on! haha

I loved walking around your car at Wekfest Chicago. It sure has changed in those few months. Nice tuck on the overflow.


I do see you removed the ground cable to the valve cover in the pic. You put it back on yet?

Really dig the GS-R to the side of the car. It is unique like mine

Nah homie you got it twisted im not calling your whip a wannabe typr R, I think you actually did pretty damn good picking parts. There isn't alot of fella's or feller's in the Lincoln State that actually can build them, I have lived near gateway International speedway almost my whole life (im guessing thats where you took that pick with the chick and the white spotty ***), I like your whip im just not into people knowing what model teg im driving, maybe cause I was stationed out in southern cali for awhile and people love to gank peoples ****. My GSR now does not have anystickers on it because I dont want any attention. Do you and keep it clean, much love.

No offense taken. People jack each others Honda in the city of C.H.I. as fast as you can bat an eye. Everytime I take the car out, I have to park it where I can see it and also take my license plates with me as well.

P.S. to the inquiry about the ground wire: It is attached. I just tucked it in on the back side of the block to the shock tower. Way cleaner. Still going to do a minor tuck on other things. Thanks again for appreciating the work I've put into this car the past 4 years.

Welcome to the Honda World .. Where you take years building it and drive it maybe 600 miles a year lmaooo.. Gotta love the Honda Game right !!!

blink182ska

Ah...dunno why I didn't think of that with the other tucking you did. DOH! lol

But uh...where's those Jigglypuff socks tucked away at?

oneslowstd

Yea I lived in the chi for three years Elmhurst/Villa Park actually went to WillowBrook High school for my juinor year. I kno how it is up there thats why I stayed clear of the west side and downtown lmao. From the pics you have in your driveway looks like you might not be far from that area. I swear I saw that car three or four years ago on craigslist. cant believe thats the same car. Nice build

Stan_Smith

Car looks fantastic.

gsl_05

Yup. This is the same car. I scoped out the shell in December of 06. From what other's tell me, the shell was on Craigslist for over a year. Picked it up in March of 07, started building it, and haven't stopped.
