lulz

my buddy jeff throwing a new race radiator in my car since mine started to crap out.

thats all the window visor goodness you get right now. i'll upload some pix tomorrow that i took for insurance purposes, so yeah. hold tight

 

ahh! you are making me want to get some window visors bad!

 

**** man I love your EJ1. Make me want to work faster on my Civic lol. Almost ready for paint

Could you do me a favour ? Take a pic of the rear whel arch and post it or pm me a pic of it ? Im trying to find a mint eg rear quarter pic

Like this one but a bit closer trying to see the details of the curve and all

 

Bumping this up so it's not lost in the abyss.

 

Any news on that suspension you got? Is it made yet?

 

Updates????

 

Looks great so far

 

no updates on suspension. since we already got the prototypes made and they're up to spec, the manufacturer will only make them in batches. I think minimum is 10 or 20 sets. My buddy was planning on getting a massive order produced, but with the market the way it is, it's not exactly easy to get the business loan he needs lol



as for car updates... I splurged on a recaro yesterday... I gotta call my hookup who gets cheap **** through memoryfab (coincidentally, he's my suspension guy too), so I'll pick up some seat rails asap.

I'm doing my homework on brake pads and whatnot, so I'm gonna hopefully just throw up the white flag and buy the stuff to get it over with. I find myself talking about it a lot and not doing enough, so I need to just buckle down and take care of it.

I'm sending out an updated request for stated-value insurance on my car, and I'm just under $12k w/o the seat
I wonder how much my insurance is gonna go up...

 

hahahaha thats ME!!!!!

 

I got brembo blanks with hawk pads. I have heard nothing but good things about that set up, but have yet to get my car on the road to find out...

and for the insurance, I would love to do that... but same thing. I dont want to see how much mine will go up. ha ha ha

 

yeah, im gonna get centric premium rotors (they make stoptech stuff and own hawk pads too) and hawk pads, ST brake lines and some motul.

 

Yeah, I got earls SS lines. I cant wait to get my car out of the garage and rip on it!

 

damn that **** is clean. I also liked the SSR's better.

 

Your EJ is super clean.

 

I liked how they looked better, but they weren't practical or functional because they rubbed. I like meaty tires and that necessity on a 16" wheel didn't work as well as I hoped it would.

thanks for the compliments guys, more pix soon.
I just ordered almost $400 in detailing products, so I'm gonna say after about 10-12 hours of work, I'm very curious to see how my car will look

 

o got ya man i guess its more important to be fucntional/safe than look good. Just an idea for you to stay OE but add power, a 99-00 EX exhaust manifold. Its a 4-2-1 header basically but its OE and can be found cheap.

 

Chris Nice to see you at it again! car looks good! Keep it up brotha!

 

Looks good.
When I was first looking at civics I bought an EK (wasnt a big fan of egs)
But yours makes me wish I got an EG

Keep the work up.

 

lets see some updates

 

needs better pix

 

I may have some free time in a couple days to get some good pix up. I've been busier than expected lately with school. I decided to put the brake setup off a couple more weeks because I'm tighter with money than I'd rather be, but I need to pay off a credit card, my car insurance, and cash a few paychecks to see if I'm still above my zero-point, financially.

However, I just got my Recaro installed last night, after spending almost six hours detailing it with my horde of new supplies and equipment (I didn't even get a chance to do the interior, engine bay, or even wheels). I wanna see how it looks in pix after a couple coats of jet seal 109, two coats of 50/50 wax, and a coat of buttery wax

All I can say is, as of now, I definitely suggest Chemical Guys for detailing products. Hands down, the best stuff I've ever used.

 

Cant wait to see it after being detailed! What color recaro's did you end up getting? I got my coupe painted yesterday... Hopefully will have some pics up tonight of it!

 

Nice, I definitely wanna see that!


As for the seat, it's a surprise. Well, idk why I'm making it suspenseful; it's nothing baller lol

 

i still dont know what kind of suspension that is ????

 

Ha ha ha! Well, I will still be checking back in to see what color they are!
