i don't know much about cars.. but that gets me hard right there

 

about halfway through your pics i said to myself "this guy must be from Australia/New Zealand". Your style over there is very distinctive.

The car is bad *** man...but the engine bay is a little goofy if you ask me. Paint is over EVERYTHING. Whats up with that?

 

yeah New Zealand

lol yeah sucks painting a engine with everything + motor still in it

 

what is the big chrome-y sheild over the washer fliud resevoir/coolant overflow tank for?
and that is a freaking huge intercooler

 

Wow, huge intercooler

 

no matter how many goodies you have. the paint all over your engine bay and hoses is gross

 

dayum.. i swear you guys get the biggest intercooler you can find and toss it on there. haha that sucka looks so intimidating i wouldnt even think of runnin ya. looks good.

 

holy ****, that IC is HUGE. jesus christ! ...sweet job tho. looks good!

 

nice ride man. keep up the good work

 

what kinda boost are you rinning to need an IC that HUGE, and i don't see any internal work on your list, did you do any?

 

that is one ginormous FMIC. it will take 5 years to fill that thing up with air. full spool around 13,765 rpm's. haha just joking. good luck man. i have a boosted DOHC ZC also, they are so much fun.

 

I'm not a big body kit fan but I've got to say you have one hell of a nice car on your hands man... good work

 

uummmmm....eerrrr

 

God damn that is one ugly ef.....BUT WHOA your motor is so sexy...so i gotta give you the I guess you gotta get to the middle of the caramel nugget to get the badassness....

 

yeah definatley hagard looking body but i do like how the intake pops out it actually looks really clean and it would get nice breathing air right there.

 

FAT INTERCOOLERS ARE SEXY!!


did you put mirrors in your engine bay??


gold is not my color....

 

hey thanks guys

yeah paint on hoses i awsn't to worried about as i'm buying a heap of samco hosing and doind all hoses in it (blue)

that cover by power sterring resivar is just to hide some stuff .

the intercooler i was very very surprised as i lost NO boost at all and no lag at all
which i was amazed no lag nothing

running 8-14psi
got no figuers yet getting dyno on 16th september

no internal work but i've got a spare motor at work i'm gonna slow build up for when my civic dies

 

car needs to be rebuilt, but by someone else with better taste, take that front bumper off and put stock back on, replace all your overpainted bs in the engine bay and take off all your decals and it might be ok..

 

you are my hero... I really do love you... how can I show you... you did what I wanted to do but never committed to and should have... I sold out went for more power with a b16 I'm sorry... I'm going to cry myself to sleep that is a beautiful car... thank you for that

Put the stock bumper back on heh? "Do you use 10mm sockets on 12mm nuts?" Obviously you do, knowing that you don't have the common sense of just looking at that Intercooler and knowing a stock bumper wont fit over it.

and it would be to hard to modify the stock bumper to fit? oh wow, id rather have my car looking nice clean and stock then with a huge body kit that makes it look like I'm off of F&F and use naws y0.

take a look at his kit, he cut it to fit the intercooler anyway, why couldnt he do that to a stock one?

 

because its HIS car.

from the looks of it, i think it was better that he did use a body kit because if he would have cut the oem front bumper it might as well have been in two.

 

lol yeah i chopped that bumper to peices stock bumper doesn't sit low enough and half the intercooler would be lower than the stock bumper

but i love my car how it looks etc...
thanks for comments .

my cars in paintshop today they said i'll get it back on thursday
i'll post pics up all painted etc...
and more when i tidy up the engine bay and all .

 

i was at the sema show last year and i swear i saw that same intercooler on a 1000 hwpr drift car!

good luck with the project and keep us posted
