man i think the valve cover looks pretty tight. bump for the comments, keep em comin

 

those wheels are ******* huge and hideous, it needs to be dropped BADLY, the valve cover is extremely stupid and ugly btw. but other than that its nice......kind of

 

the wheels and valve cover definitely need to take a hike

 

the wheels would be tight on something besides an ef they .....are too big....gives it that tonka truck effect lol but I bet you could sell or trade em on here for something more suited for your ride about that valve cover IMO not much beats stock honda apearance.....

 

Whats up with the radiator support?

Either way. I like it. The rims are soso, but thats not a deal breaker...

How does the car drive?

Don't see a prob with the radiator support if it keeps it in place and no vibrating...

Yeah you can trade those wheels and get something pretty nice...maybe some Rota's
Not big on the angled muffler but doesn't look too bad on yours.

How much did you pay if ya don't mind?

 

I like the valve cover, but if the engine is stock it's just as lame as putting NOS stickers on a stock VW

 

nice enjoy your new ride, **** what everyone else says half of them dont even have a b series motor , goodluck

 

i like it. what did u pay?

agreed, deciding to cut stock springs or buy some ebay ones, on ebay you can get coil overs for like $80 shipped. dunno the quality but they seem legit.

u think wheels would look better if the car was lowered more?

 

15's and slam that bitch. Your almost there

 

just lower it, your building the car to your specs not what everyone on here thinks

 

b16 :thumbsup:

 

Either put some of that gangsta *** mirror ice tint and some spinners on that, or loose the rims and valve cover for the love of god.

 

thx guys b16 is awesome! right now im pretty sure that i have the stock exhaust manny. would it be a worthy upgrade to buy a header for it? would any b-series header bolt right up?

 

valve cover
rims
car

 

why does everyone dislike the valve cover? doesnt look half bad i think. rims are a lil big for an EF, but how much do you think I could sell them for??

because its from tenzo r and its a fake mugen copy and it has a huge tenzo r written across it....i dont know why someone would want to be pimpin the fact that they bought something from that company....o and get rid of those huge rims and get something decent(si's or blades until u can afford a good aftermarket brand).....i like the rest of the car tho...paint/body looks good and the swap looks clean.....
personally i would lose the rice can muffler but whateva floats ur boat
