the pic is of me at the line not launching...

 

Got a problem here. I have OCD, I also like building models. Good and bad mix.

Hasegawa models have a plastic EG model (pretty sure most of you know this). Well at first glance the model looks fine, but to me its not. I think the rear side window is goofy (top picture), so I made some adjustments to the lower edge (last 2 pictures). The problem is that I have been staring at it for so long that I am second guessing my work. So who better to ask than the owners themselves. Did I improve it? Or make it worse? Also do you guys think that I should curve down the rear portion of the roof more?

 

^I think you were right, it needed more angle, cool model, I want one!

Goodness Gracious!

 

What headlights/bulbs is everyone running if they want to get some more visibility? My head light distance is pretty rough and I'll attempt to adjust that as well. I just don't want some ricer blue bulbs or fake HIDs. Looking to truly improve the light output.

Thanks,
Steve

 

I've wondered the same thing. My headlights barely go a car length in front of the car. I've adjusted them over and over and over and it just comes down to the fact that they don't have enough brightness. I don't have the $ for a retrofit HID system, but don't want to have any ricey crap either. One thing I've thought about doing is aiming them way down and just driving around on the high beams.

 

Thought about that as well, until I hit a bump in the road and blind the guy in front of me.

How much are retro-fits? Are they a major pita to do? (Are they DIY or can you buy them done?)

I've ran sylvania silverstars in the past- great light out put, aren't ricer blue, and don't blind others- but produce much more light!

 

here is a retrofit kit. http://www.retrosolutionsllc.com/ser...TOR-HID/Detail

 

buddy of mine bought a set of eg headlights pre-fitted with tsx projectors into a clear lensed black housing set of headlights for like 250$. imho he got a really good deal and the quality of light produced outweighs the fact that he lost his high beams.

 

do u know when they are going to stop holding test and tune?

 

Had these on my EP, but I hear they burn out so quickly.

I'm guessing I should look at the lighting forum, but is there a standard way to fit these projectors to the housings?


Thanks for the info guys!

I went with the PIAA Platinum super white H4H. I have the Jdm headlights though. And that improved sight significantly. Now the sight is like I had my highs on all the time. And when I do put the highs on. It super bright. Especially when I do my night time canyon runs.

 

I'm using Sylvania Silverstar Ultra. Visibility was much better than the Stanleys, but they're 2 years old now and aren't as bright as they used to be.

 

bought the oem bra finaly for sale...pm me

 

Thats what Im doing, one of my headlights is brighter than the other so I use the highbeams and they seem to be about the same and its really not high. I haven't gotten flashed by anyone yet. Plus it has the light on the dash so I remember to turn them off. Why is it that when you have the lights on or corners theres no beeping sound made to remind you when you open the door? Often I drive with my headlights during the day and I leave them on.

 

You can make you own Headlight beeper.

 

Finally pieced together my exhaust again. Skunk2 pipe, RS*R Exmag B-pipe, 5zigen axle back. Sounds pretty gravy!







One for fun.


I was surprised how this muffler was designed. It's straight-through, but it's not your conventional perforated core design. It has a solid core that has a gap near the inlet to let exhaust gas into the muffler material that way. I made a diagram, but I'll be posting it in the 5zigen thread https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...2348833&page=8



Roomate took this one. We just use our little cheap cameras and as you can see I'm a noob at editing.

 

Glad you like it.

 

Thanks, I won it for $23 on eBay. It needed a small weld in one spot, but that only cost me $5. At the park yesterday.
