i like both. there is a really nice sweeping turn on a main/back road by my house that in a lowered car i can go into at about 70ish and come out of at about 90-95ish without pushing it too hard. soo much fun. i'd love to hit a track sometime. i think once i got on a track i'd be addicted lol

100mph isnt that fun straight but 130mph in a 1/4 is real fun...you have to hold on tight

lol...Those turning track's are fun but coming flying out of the hole cutting a 1.6-1.7 60ft and rippin an 11sec pass is a fun ride too

It might not be all that bad if you're in a well lit road. Try a back road where it's nice and dark and the other car coming towards you gets blinded by your 15k HIDs in your Halogens, it's like you have your high beams on.

But you're right it might not be so terrible in DA's and lowered EFs, other than looking rice. It's the newer cars that are most annoying actually like the Altima's and old Benz's with Halogens rockin' 12k HIDs...

I'm just saying, there's a right way and a wrong way to make your Halogens brighter and better.

I'm sorry I don't understand the hybrid/aftermarket part. Not sure how you could blind ppl with low offset wheels unless someone stares so hard they crash into the car infront of them.. :p

These are 6k so they arent too bad IMO, but I know what you mean and rarely drive at night. I see worse on the road like you mentioned. Most of the early model Acuras with HIDs are a lot brighter then my car.
AND IT DOESN'T LOOK RICE

LoL they were the most cost efficient option for me, same goes with my CL. I need to order a kit for that too because the OEM bulbs are deathly dull.

I was just saying that any type of aftermarket part could be considered dangerous in some way or another. If put on wrong, wrong part, doesn't fit exactly right...

Re: DA Integra's Only

man I am happy as **** we were closed today, but I think im going crazy in this damn house! all I can do is look at the integra, there is no way Im going to pull her out in this crap.

I would love to go to a road race course man! that would be so fun, but I would definitely need to beef up the suspension mods on the integra, that **** feels like im turning on jello. Now in my SI, that is a different story, that car can handle it's *** off, I love twisty roads in that!

Re: DA Integra's Only

Ryan did you get a new car yet? Who has the regas now? I wish i had the money earlier because i'm looking for a set of white wheels since the works will be gone next week. Car looks great hopefully the new owner will take care of it as good as you did.

Its ok, all of the tabs on the passenger headlight were broken and a chunk was broken out of the back of the headlight, and the driver side was completely oxidized inside and out, along with the foglights not being inside the headlights anymore. I bought them for only $50 back then so i figure selling for $75 now wont be too bad

Re: DA Integra's Only

Why would you dry sand the car? You plan on repainting it again cause that will be needed if you do that.

Re: DA Integra's Only

this is what i was recommended to do was to get the car lightly dry sanded to get out some of the orange peel and have the paint more reflective. Is this incorrect?

Re: DA Integra's Only

Dry sand = Scratches to prep for new paint to stick.

Wet sand = what you're talking about

Good thing you mentioned it here before going out and dry sanding to get the orange peel off. You would've needed a new paint job as soon as the paper hit the paint.

pics of said house or it didn't happen.

p.s. i know you're really good with pulling up crap from the past. I'm trying to find that build thread on g2ic with that orange right hand drive DA k swap that one dude built in his garage. I believe you said it was slow as crap for the swap. It had purple wheels on it. I've been striking out all day on it.

Re: DA Integra's Only

WOAH dude WET SAND!!!! dry sand would scratch the **** out of your paint and would need a new coat..

You need to wet sand with like 2000 grit paper then need to buff it..
