Nevermind...

Keep building your car the way you want and have fun, but don't expect any love for it outside of the slammed or low offset type threads.

 

not looking for love, for that there is no need, not getting serious answers to questions was my issue, anyway for sh**s and giggles, what exactly have I done to my car that will shorten its life span and negatively effect its performance, please discuss sighting specific examples

 

Listen we are a tight bunch here, most of us known each other for years. We all strive for a clean Ef, then here comes you w this rusty bs which is basically a mockery of the Ef chassis to us, and then you wonder why no one responds to you.

 

why worm gears on fancy hoses...

 

I'll just give 1 specific example:

Have you taken the time to replace all suspension bushings/bearings/ends/joints/etc? Do you realize how quickly 20 year old suspension parts wear when you change suspension geometry to the extent you have/plan to? Do you realize how worn suspension components negatively affect performance?

But I pretty much fully agree with Boosted's statement above, we all strive for a clean EF.

 

I remember back in the day when everyone did body kits and neons and 17" & 18" wheels on their civics…things that we call "rice". There were those that looked down on them and talked smack about their cars, but it was you who were into that fad. Now that we've gone through that phase and have since developed a minimalistic approach to our cars now, another fad has since popped up. But this time it is us who are talking down about their cars and passing judgment. It's just a cycle that keeps repeating, but I personally don't care. I give my opinion and move on. Our cars are a blank canvas in which we project our art. We can't expect everyone to like it but it gets real annoying to constantly bash his ride when we all show the progress that we're making on our cars. Even more-so when they're asking for help and the question gets ignored in favor talking about his car.

i came to this thread b/c i thought it was about our shared interest in our cars, no matter how we personalized it. i didn't know our cars had to look or be modified a certain way in order for us to accept them. On that's note, I'll be unsubscribing for a while, maybe things will have changed by the time i find this thread again.

 

rusty panels = slower car .. duh. and those fender mirrors will definitely hurt your 1/4 mile time as well. i mean jesus, didn't you ever learn aerodynamics? rookie move..

lol

i personally dig the car man.. if they can't appreciate the work put in because it's not their cup of tea, then ef'em. stupid closed minded people like that are the ones that are "ruining the scene"

my only nitpick (based on personal preference only) is that i think the rust has gotten a little too heavy.. i personally like to see a fair amount of bare metal as well. but that's a balance that's hard as hell to maintain


as to your question.. have you looked inside the bumper skin itself? my front bumper had markings where the factory fogs would go.. maybe the rears do as well?

 

Most tight knit group of true EF enthusiasts on the most populated Honda Board are "ruining the scene"

 

I do realize, in fact that is why it is taking me so long to bag it even though I have all of the air ride components already, I am collecting all the parts i will need to pull all of the suspension off down to the chassis and replace with all new

and boosted, do you disagree that besides the deck lid and front fenders (which are easily replaceable and do not negatively effect the chassis) that the car is actually much cleaner than most? And have I given reason to believe that I do or intend on doing any kind of shotty work? Because I put a great deal of time and effort into making sure that everything I do to it is done correctly and well and go out of my way to see that no corners are cut

 

when you act like a bunch of elitist douches just because someone wants their car to be different than yours?

yes.
