Dropped off car at the body shop. Also check arrived today and it's in the bank. Now wait 2-3wks and go pick it up. I'm going with green but I'm still up in the air about what color green. Here are pics of different greens. Tried to find one dark and one in the sun of each so you get the full effect. Tell me what one you like the best. Thanks

that olive green on the is looks sick!

whats up guys? i went down to pa this weekend for a HI! SOCIETY meet...my car made it there and back without a hitch! and i only used 1 and 1/2 tanks of gas round trip which is over 700 miles!!!!!

 

holy double post batman!

 

agreed! im loving the color on the IS.

 

Screw you guys.... The lexus color is my last choice and that's the one everybody keeps saying looks good. It's been used to much already. The nissan color is almost the same just a tad darker. The jeep color is growing on my at an incredible pace lol.

 

99 B20/VTEC CR-V (auto to manual swap)





There was a lot a damn good lookin cars on this thread!! Big upps all!

 

Lmfao! Man I was talking to my co workers about buying a crv and doing a b20vtec but we just joking around. Nice and welcome to the thread!

Sc34dc4: all the color looks the same to me but I like how it looks on that IS.

 

how much did you pay for the raidiator and where at? niceee

 

Probably ebay and they are around 100-150 bucks. Did you really need to quote the whole post to ask that. tsk tsk tsk bandwith waster

 

I bought it from a local shop. 90 bucks. I believe it's on eBay as well. Look up cx racing.

 

What's up guys? My B18c is totally torn down at the moment. I'm so mad at myself right now. I put the number 3 cam cap on backwards.. It blocked off some oil passageways and allowed my camshaft to get hot and eat up the cam journals... Such a stupid mistake..


Hope everyone else's cars are running well!

 

im an all motor dude turbo doesnt realy float my boat if you know what im talkin bout

ive been raised around all N/A freaks and the numbers they put down dont seem like much but when ever we take them to the back roads against a boosted ride the boost just cant compete with all motor, sure on the track you have your full out micky thompsons wrinkle walls and away you go no matter how much power your puttin down with that boost, but im a street racer and on the streets all motor rains supreme

pluss it aint that hard to get 220 hp when you got a good Dyno tune on race gas runin 13 compression


victory x manifold, 65mm throtle body, ARC intake, RMF header, skunk2 pro2 cams, retainers, dual valve springs, ctr dome psitons Ls V-tec runin 13.2 compression, tuned on race gas, with a mild port polish as well as doin the three angle valve job, i dont realy care about the money thats why i work hahaha sure i aint gonna do this all at once but as long as it takes ima get that power N/A BABY!! anything else is just cheating if you gotta call on forced induction to get you over a measily little 200whp you should be ashamed of your selves

 

So your having to use race gas to reach your power goal. Who drives their car daily on race gas? Freakin' wallet is WAY bigger then mine if you can do that. It's $8-11 a gallon x 10 gallon tank. 330whp all day from a gsr on 93 pump gas with no issues. You can do close to 400 all day with pistons and rods still using a stock head but switching to itr cams. You can spin it how you want but your just going to spend more money to make 1/2 the power.
NA means Not Acceptable

 

spencerskate93: sorry to hear man! hope you get your car up and running soon!

midnightef-4: yea i grew up around NA guys as well. i do what makes me happy so do what makes you happy. NA or boost or super charge! it doesnt matter as long as you reach your goal!

sc34dc4: i know some of us dont have as much money as other so we choose the cheaper route but lets go ahead and leave the argument where it is because i really dont wanna get this thread lock or bring a negative vibe! but on the other hand. have you decided with what color you wanna go with?

 

Nobody is arguing about anything and the thread is not going to get locked. There is way worse stuff that happens in other threads and their not locked. As for negativity I wouldn't call it that. I'm just simply stating my point of view and he is doing the same thing.
No I'm till not sure really. Everyone loves the lexus color but I've seen 15+ hondas painted that color. Not really wanting to just be another desert sage honda. I haven't seen the nissan green though I know it's been done before and never seen the jeep green but it kinda seems to flashy for me.

 

Passed DEQ with flying colors today.

 

sc34dc4: i too like the lexus color. havent seen the nissan color your talking about. the nissan xterra from up in the pic^^?

brayzieef9: thats good news!! whats next?

 

thats why you get a couple different maps on the old hondata s300

one for 91 octane gas

another for E82 Ethinal

and the beasty Race fuel map

thats why you tune your car dude so you could get perfection in what ever roads your runin, if its a simple grocery run to the super market, to a bio friendly Ethinal tune to get you around the country without killing th O-zone, to getting down and dirty at the local drag strip with the race gas map

no its not a giant wallet its just a seperate savings account at your bank, and some dedication

any body can do it just think things through

you wanna spend a couple grand on looking good for the haters on the street or you wanna roll a beat up little car on some steelees , and throw all your extra money into your engine and build your self a monsterous little 4door??????? i dont know about you guys but ima go with opption two, monsterous sleeper

check your referances when you say something idiotic like that again dude N/A in the car world means Naturally Asparated as an no power adders just all natural power coming from your engine without having to call on a turbine to force feed air into your cylinders

i aint tryin to start none im just here to post my build

so back off cyber bully its looking to me as if your the Not Acceptable one in this thread

you just talk badly about other peoples builds??? thats not to thread friendly if you ask me

 

midnightef-4: you got a pm.

 

N/A is better. XD
