how did you even get down below the rocker panel?

edit: nevermind, i see what you did there. makes alot sense to me now.

 

The hole goes right through... the rear of the car is going to be stripped... you will never see a fuel or brake line back there....you will only see the harness (in the areas i want you to see it, and trust me, you will want to see it).

 

i cant wait to see that kind of work in person. soooo intense.

 

doesnt that make it sound like a smoothed fender wells? should you done that before painting the car? maybe ur doing it the diff way. i dont know lol

 

Dude...Ryan..... Every update on your build is so killer, it blows my mind. Absolutely amazing job your are doing

 

Ryan, u make me sick! seriously, ur a [freak]in mad man! u make me wanna redo my car all over again...

I'm about to go out and get some nuts, bolts and spacers (or a bunch of washers), to bolt the stock sway onto the Function 7 lca's. I didn't notice the difference of the sway bar mounting points till I started taking the lca's off. </TD></TR></TABLE>

Drunk posting is the best posting.

 

Man, thats a lot of connections! Initial leak check could prove to be a bitch, lol.

 

Yup, only drawback... lots of leak possibilities. I have a rigid flare tool, and it has not made a noticable bad flare yet

EDIT LOL at everyones replies

 

Very Nice ryan! Thanks for making me wanna strip my car down again.

now that's gangsta!

 

nice pics Adam, Mr.Meowsome is a cool kid, I sold him some parts for his hatch about a year ago.


Does anyone know where I can get the SiR style fiberglass sideskirts that some was selling a while ago? Ive looked and can't find them. I think they were in the $200 range

 

alright, i finally made a flickr account...

in my quest for the best street car i can build out of my civic, and making it as cheap as i can, i put wider wheels/street tires on it. the tires are sumitomo HTR200s, some nice all around summer performance tires i've used before, decent for straight line traction, and great for little turning action too .

13x8 diamond racing wheels, and i might paint them black, not sure yet.







yeah, i know they are different...kinda why i like em!

 

^^^^ I LIKE YOUR STYLE OF CARS.

 

sold the BBSs, had these with worn out hoosiers on them, bought tires, and had money left over! MINT

 

looks gread dude, buy Moe's flares and start flossin'

 

moes flares?

link to pics?

 

Tried restoring my carbon fiber hood this afternoon. I think what I did will be good for a while but I still want to buy a carbon kevlar hood if we ever get a group buy going.

Here's what it looked like to begin with:





Here's all the stuff I used:



Started on this corner first:



During wetsanding:



After I rinsed off the dirty sand water. Look how shiny it is!





After I dried the water off



Turtle Wax Rubbing Compund to the rescue!



Taking off the rubbing compound was a BITCH because it would dry out immediately after applying it.





After that I used Meguiar's Carnauba wax:



Here's the finished product:





I know it's STILL not very shiny or anything but it's DEFENITLEY better than what I started with:



After I finished that little part I decided to finish the passenger's side of the hood off and see what it looked like:





Still not SUPER shiny, but it's a good start. I think I'm gonna buy a sanding block though for the rest of the hood since it'll make it a helluva lot more even. I'm also gonna try getting a buffer and use some of that 3M Marine polish/wax and see what that does.

looks good but i think after that wax melts off/dries it'll look like it did before. you should sand it smooth and have it recleared.


or do what i did.... paint over it! haha

 

/\/\

Looks d3cent. In the future, don't wash or wax any part of your car in the sun though and you won't have the problem you did with the wax(among other things)
