I dont like how he painted all the brackets the same color as the car. Keep them oem or black at least!

Those page references are irrelevant since the software changover because everyone is viewing a different # of pages.

Just note that the EG posted is years old now and hasn't really been touched to bring it up to 'todays standards'. Same can be said for the exterior. What's not shown is that all the under carriage is also pristine.

His daily is more everyone on here's style, JDM 98 spec ITR.

Now that the image of the tucked radiator is here. I'm sure we will see many more of this same thing.

By far the most impressive thing ive seen here in 2009

I dont have a picture off hand, but there was a completely shaved integra in orange with a tucked radiator. pretty sure its from a while back..
Rywires tucked rad setup is beautiful... but then again so is the whole car.


I didnt notice the Tan leather interior on that "civic." quality of work looks well done, maybe a little too blue in some places.. but to each is own.

Lance is correct there, the car was built in early 2006 when the trends and styles over here were very different to what they are now.

theres a pic of the undercarrage below aswell as the interrior

And also one of his other car, a JDM 98 spec ITR, which has just sold

while u dont have to appreciate the way the car looks you surely have to apreciate the work thats gone into the car

undercarriage looks hot but tan interior is terrible,

Those tucked rads are only good for all motor jerkoffs, not most of the turbo guys can tuck a rad and an intercooler.lol

Here's a pic of my bay. I will eventually shave all the major holes and repaint it a different color along with the exterior. There are a few more minor changes I want to make, but for the most part it's finished.
