Since i am getting rust on my rear quarter pannels and i have a lot of little chips at the front i am planning on repainting the car in campionship white. The antenna, emblems, and the front licenlce plate screw holes will be shaved off for that cleaner look, however i am debating weather to shave my mouldings or not, should i keep them or take them off and fill the little holes so it resembles a cx. I personally want to shave them, also the car will be getting flat black HX wheels eventually. So what do you guys think?

 

This is just a bonus pic for you guys, because i know you love engine bays. Mine isn't exactly clean due to winter/salt/rain/etc. and it's not a b18c5, but hey it's something. I am an 18 year old student on a budjet so go easy on me

I think it'll look good. BTW, what kinda springs do you have? That thing is low!!! Any camber problems? I just picked up a 92 VX...so just trying to research. How does the car run? Any ets?

HEY !!! What da !!! looks like my "Winter" hybrid, same dirty engine bay also.

Not bad for being on "budget".

Those are not springs, they are coilover sleeves on stock shocks for now

As far as E/T's i haven't gone to the track yet, but i am going this summer. I can tell you this, the guy who did my swap, ran against his friend's hatch that runs high 14's right after they finished the swap, and they were neck to neck until 190km/h. Me, my best kill was a Porsche Boxter, just a basic model, a lot of people don't believe me, i might get flamed for this, but just to let you know, the car was gutted, no carpet, no seats, no door panels, no tar, no spare, just a driver's seat and a dash and the guy with the Porsche had a passanger, and i also beat 2001 Prelude SH with a CAI that runs 15.1

 

Hey i have all the pics of your hatch already saved on my hard drive. Lovin' your car man

 

He said "student" and "budjet" in the same sentance. hehe.

And as far as camber, well i do have major camber up front, not too bad at the back though. I do like having some camber, great for cornering, but not the amount i have right now. I also have an ingalls camber kit, but the car is too low and i can't use the camber kit because the upper control arm is hitting the inner fender so i have to do some minor modifications to get it working.

 

hehe thanks but it looks kinda different now. no CF hood, smoked amber visions, and a set of poorman's SW388
I gotta get some new pics up.

B_zurC &lt;=== one lazy faulk!

 

why did you decide to change? Yea i love the slipstreams but problem is i love riding really low and i don't think i can have them tucked in my wells if i get them, so HX for me. And why did you take off the CF hood? It looked good. I am just going to get clear JDM corners and paint them orange, my friend did it and it looks absolutely amazing, identical to vision.

 

Oh i would like to mention that i have a Type R flywheel, i removed the entire A/C unit and P/S, still gotta change the rack and car is gutted.

 

hey i just ordered a kamikaze header for my car. i will sell you my dc 4-2-1 for 175 bucks if you want it. it is PERFECT meaning no dents, scratches, rust.

 

i think u should keep ur moldings on and just get them painted.
no need to spend that extra dough, and the moldings look good anyway.
if u were gonna shave it, i say shave it totally, and not have that indent left over.

post pics when ur done

 

No thanks man, stock b18b header is just fine, just need to get some itr mid pipe now.

 

well i don't really like the shave molding thing but i do like to take off the molding and fill in the little holes,that is what i'm going to do to my black Si when i get it painted,here is a pic of what your car should look like



keep us posted on what you do

 

niiice dumped,swapped and cleeen nice hatch mang..

 

keep the moldings, paint them white.

 

just wonderin if those are the 13's that are black on your car.

 

no sir. they are 14" HX wheels with the fat stock tires.

 

I think you should sell your car to me...whatdya think?

If you are talking about my car, believe me, you don't want it.

nah leave he indents if you do shave it.

 

i like this car...i really do...if my car that was stolen is totalled...i will get a hatch and make it look clean like this one...the only difference will be my 15 Sprint Hart CP-FG's instead of the HX wheels on this car...
