yeah but I wouldn't go cover the gray if anything I would try and get the real thing from the UK or somthing like that.. so that the speakers and the back panel matched as well.. The only thing is pillars and such.. I mean in every car I have seen there always gray and going from all black or even the black to red to gray?
I dono probably why I just stick with what I have..

But now I'm sold I want a 93 glove box.. One it does look better since it does sit flush.
Two it will give my pasangers the feeling of having more leg room.
Three. I want it.

NINJA!






oh and as someone else has told me before... the 93 glove box is so large because there is no airbag. 94+airbag= tiny *** glove box.

so whoever mentioned that was right. but if anyone needs a 94+ glove box i have one for sale for nice price! talking like $10-15... $20 shipped close/ $25-30 shipped to cali kids.

damn will, your rotors are wasted! that's not even heat checking, thats a full on f'd up crack haha

while I agree that the 93 glovebox looks better; they added metal and the bulge in the 94 for a reason. my girlfriend is the only person who consistently sits in the passenger seat, and she's the last person i'd ever want to get hurt, so i'm leaving all safety features intact.

lol
guess thats what happens when they are almost 6 years old lol
they still work fantastic tho...

I guess i'll add a new set of brembos to my brake upgrade to buy list along with MC, prop valve, ss lines, pads, etc

good point with the glove box
thats probably why it changed and how that box only comes with the dashes with airbags
so i guess its another case of function vs form...

my gf always complains about how she doesn't have an airbag as well
now even more now with the seats and harnesses

Well guys, I got my skunk2 Pro S coilover setup today, got the fronts on... started on the rears. busted LCA bolt. didn't see that comin' . so upon going to the hardware store to get grade 8 automotive replacement bolts. i tested the ride quality of only front skunks. feels really good. camber isnt bad either, there adjusted to almost tucking tire. so i go back home, spend the next 4 hours hammering, drilling out the bolt, until finally, the heat from drilling out the bolt caused that son of a bitchin' bushing to melt and i yanked it out of the LCA. so.... my plan for tomorrow is... to get polyurethane in a tube, get 2 metal sleeves for the LCA bolts, and make my own bushings . that way i dont have to wait for autozone or advanced autos stupid 2 day shipping. and i save 25 bucks. anyway, hopefully tomorrow I will be whoring up the forums with newly dropped suspension. I've heard good and bad things about the skunk2 kit, but so far, im pleased. im anxious to see what kind of results i get, i definately need some bigger wheels. so on that note. WTB Teggy fat fives, or civic SI's (15"s)

Hey guys, I'm pretty conflicted and could use some opinions here. I posted my shell with some extras up for $2k today which is very reasonable for what is offered, but i have someone offering me $1k for the car, no wheels no nothing. The only thing it will have that is remotely of use is the VTEC front brakes.

Would any of you guys entertain the offer of $1k or tell the potential buyer that you are holding out for more? My mom is all up on my *** because I bought the car for $3k, but I am essentially selling a stripped shell at this point...

Parts still left to sell:

-Dolphin front is officially for sale 300 with EG lip.....250 without lip.....I found a very clean "kit" bumper I like.....CW(just like what Jesse posted up) for only 125 picked up with guaranteed fitment

-ameripol blue tinted 650 comes with all lock and seals....EVERYTHING about the top is as mint as possible

-Racing hart cp-035 FT or 1100 comes with 85% kumho 195/50 AST will trade for konigs/rotas/GSR blades and other lesser valued wheels I like but expect to add the difference ....would rather just trade for similar valued wheels though

all prices are pretty firm and picked up or plus the paypal fees and shipping

trades I'm interested in(all for z6/eg chasis):
-clutch
-lightweight flywheel
-Zex 59300
-Supertech valvetrain
-JRSC setup
-black benen tripod or PWJDM 3pt.
-OEM or JDM fenders(still sick of crooked sidemarkers)
-black benen tow hooks
-s2k seats or all '97 black sol seats

I'm gonna try and get the guy to go $1300 if he wants it and see if I can make a deal.

I think if I sell the bare shell and all the parts I had for it I could make some serious cash. Almost as much as I originally bought the car for lol

How did CROME screw you? you sure it wasn't the tuner getting more $$$ out of you....one of the guys @ the local car meets was ranting about a shop who claimed his crome chip was FUBARd and try to sell him an s300 system(he only had boltons @ the time and NEVER raced his car), I myself experienced shops trying to upsell me on the hondata/AEM/neptune/whatever they specialize in or make the most $$$ off of.....anything to get $$$ I guess

but not meaning any disrespect or anything, but why weren't those done or checked BEFORE you added something as powerful as a turbo??? all I can say is

time to bust out the credit cards for you LOL

so how'd the #s turn out?
