I mean compared to most of the EGs in my area it is pretty nice, but I wouldn't consider it "magazine quality" or anything. I got it painted 5 years ago and daily drove it for five years. I like it the way it is now because I'm not going to freak out if it gets a tiny dent or rock chip. I like driving the car too much to worry about little things ya know?

 

AMEN too that

 

All I care is that it's nice enough to go wax it and get a good shine, take it to a few car shows and just cruise around with friends. I don't have to worry about taping up the front of the car if I drive 100 miles away to meet up with friends or whatever.

 

Thats about how I feel about my car, there are weekends where my wife and I take it on road trips out to the coast and I will put 400 miles on the car in a weekend. My car wears its rock chips and high miles like a badge of pride

210K miles on the chassis OG paint except bumper I have put 60K of those miles on myself.

 

ya i know actually what u mean ...

 

I told myself while building my car that there is no way after putting all the work and money into it that it would be just a show/track car. It would drive me crazy if I couldn't go out and drive it when I wanted to on a nice day.

 

i think i wanna trade my VX's for some SI rims

 

I drive my car quite a bit when it's nice out and even when it's good and cold as long as there is no rain, snow etc. This 100 degree heat, no air, and no tint stuff isn't happening though haha. The car theft problems here have been SUPER bad lately, so I haven't driven my car in weeks just to lay low for a while. I just open the garage enough to let the exhaust out and start it up every once and a while.

 

I put a intake on! Lol

 

Never seen a radiator cap set up like that. Any reason behind it?

 

Tucked full size rabbit radiator, the have no cap so barrow cap neck off a evo x !

 

Hahaha! I know what you mean my DD has ac and I still think its hot inside the car because I don't have tint on the windows. My "race car" isn't done yet but being that its black and going to run open down pipe that ends right near the fire wall I can only imagine how hot it is going to be driving it on nice sunny days. Time to start taking 3 showers a day again

Looks like he tucked the radiator so there may not be room to have it under the support

 

Nice! That's some creativity.

 

Yea now i gotta find a shorter radiator so i can run the intake out the front bumper!

 

my car has a bunch of rock chips in the front now too never had one chip now it does oh well im still enjoying the car its a daily and it does the job

 

i have too drive my car in any weather unless i stay home all day lol i need some wheel wells bad hate getting rocks and dirt in the jams especially when it rains u can see water stains in bumper all the **** coming out of the corner lights. but i try too keep my car clean as much as possible every friday it gets a bath and sprayed with McGuire's ultimate quick detail and once a month gets hand waxed

 

My front mudflaps and hood got stolen and i'm rocking a 4 door hood on my hatch lol, plus it has stickers all over it... can't complain for free stuff. It's my daily driver/work car that gets amazing gas mileage and only cost $30 to fill. Ice cold ac helps to shitty phone pic

 

30 to fill? You have an 8gallon tank or are you paying 2.50 a gallon lol

 

I got plenty of rock chips from daily drivin on i95 fml

 

I wish it was $250 a gallon, it's $3.68. I just put in $15 and got a little over a half tank today lol, i guess it's a 8 gallon tank i honestly don't know... the car is still new to me. My 690 mile trip from philly to louisville cost me $65 in gas and i had a half tank after the trip

 

i fill my car up with 32 bucks its a vx gas is around the same price too

 

My vx is a 10 gallon tank... I dont think they had 8 gallon tanks.


So anyone had any experience with "hardrace" Lca's?

 

I don't think so. I thought it was 12? I could have swore i've put 11.xx gal of gas in my vx before :confused:

 

I think it looks better with an intake manifold IMO **** is sexy!!
Thats what I need to do as well, I have a stock dual core half'er on my car but I need to get an aluminum one and move it to the passenger side. You should put an intake on there that doesnt have such a sharp bend at the TB. GSR intakes work real nice and with a half size radiator they would put the filter right behind the bumper grill.

 

hey i need to ask i got rims on size 18x7 i want to have the stretch look what size of tire do i need the car is drop on adjusted coils,im sorry i do not know where to post this

Your engine is SICK!!!!!!!
