Yup, the TEs flow nicely on your hatch, good stuff

Can you get the bonnet to clear the motor more by cutting the reinforcement webbing or is it already gone?

Something like so:

 

I'm pretty sure it's the intake manifold that's the problem with those setups.

 

Can anyone recommend a good shock combo for my Progress springs? I'm not looking for anything for road racing / auto-x, just a shock that's good for daily driving and the occasional spirited driving

 

^Help him out, HT.

 

Koni Yellow, you will be happy with them!

 

Not much wiggle room in there right now. The vc is maybe 1/2" from the hood portion itself with the webbing gone. But like chef Andre said the IM is the big problem. That'll get fixed over the winter time with the rbc or euroR so the "hood prop" isn't so ridiculous.


Anyone know of a cf hood that doesn't have the webbing on the center section?

 

Koni Yellows or Tokico Illuminas.


The old Fiber Images hoods didn't have a skeleton. But good luck finding one of them dinosaurs.

That is nice. Not sure about the rear lip and white sideskirts tho.

 

To be contradicting, it looks really clean with those sideskirts.

 

 

Benny's EG gone ghetto.

 

A free hatchback!

 

Damn dude I love this car

 

^^^I love this eg6 too! i guess low offset isn't everything, this black hatch is super steezy.

 

Low offset is what body kits and altezza tail lights were in 2001. The fad will be gone soon enough.

 

whats wrong with low offsets?

 

I hope you are speaking on Hondas/Civic community cause low offset wheels and body kits have been around for a long time and are still a hott addition to what ever project you are working on as long as its in good taste and can function.....

 

Let me be more specific.

Low offsets with stretched tires. For the most part...the majority of the general Honda forum community just wants to jump on the bandwagon of whatever is the hip new thing without doing research just so they can post some pictures of their car in a parking lot. Don't get me wrong...there are those out there who can/do pull it off...but the majority of mainstream kids can't get it right, get frustrated, give up & are generally out of the Honda world a few years later.

 

Can't be gone soon enough...

I'm looking forward to finally finishing my project this year. Started working on cleaning up the misc K parts I have sitting around so I can reassemble my motor/trans. Getting a new daily so that I can put my hatch under the knife.

Totally understandable, but I doubt it goes away. People still dump the dog **** out of their hondas and I remember when people used to say that was a fad.....

 

But dumping cars has been around forever in all corners of the auto industry. The "hella frush" fad is what's killing it (IMO). Again, nothing against those rocking it, your cars are amazing, just not my cup at all.

I've been busy with my wife's TSX lately and doing research on her car. I've neglected to keep up with this thread lately....

Here are some pics of the recent project though.
Lowered on Tein S-Techs, Ingalls Camber Kit, 18x7.5 +35 Work Emotion CR-Kai, 225-40 Kumhos, and Euro R Grill. She is pretty pumped about it and we have our first car show together this Sunday.

I also installed some Aerocatch pins which I might add were a PAIN IN THE *** to install.

12 beers, 10 dremel disks, and 10-12 hours later.....

 

I say it I think evertime but I love that Red Hatch

 

10-12 hours? lol holy ****. I installed those on my old is300. It took 1-2 hours max. Key to doing it is cutting a hole smaller than the size you need. Then use the sanding wheel tip on the dremel. Done deal! Looks good though, i like those more than the regular ol hoodpins.
