The front bumper is horrid...sorry.
I've got love for the ZC turbo, but the huge FMIC and only 169 whp?... you should try a smaller intercooler, but that would ruin the front end...even more.

Oh yeah, get some black spray paint and try touching up under the hood, the wiper motor, strut bar brackets, etc.
What did you tune the car with?

I like your motor setup, but otherwise I think the car looks awful. The bumper's crooked, so are the corner lights, and of all body kits, you got probably the oldest and lamest one.
By the looks of it, that CRX in the backround's been victimized aswell

the fitment of the front bumper lights and hood is horrible, you did not take your time to paint the bay carefully, other than that its not bad

Other than the body kit, the car looks good, I like the matching wheels. I would've liked the black seats instead of red. But it looks decent. Also, is it just me or does the paint look a little dull?

Damn I gotta agree with AutoWorks. That IC is absolutely enormous and yet you only have 169 hp. ??? ??? Oh yeah and ditch the "Symphony Rush" decal. It looks stupid and doesn't make any sense.

I think you have it wrong buddy that body kit "MINUS" the front bumper is probally the oldest and best one for ef's. and the only body kit that actually goes well with a ef

if this is the car you dreamed of building 2.5 years ago, and have finally acheived it. more power to you. good work.

ive seen a few of the cars that these guys own, some are nice in my opinion, others are just simply 'WHACK'.

Couldn't have said it any better. If you've been into the scene long enough, you know you loved the same style you're hatin' on now.

Overall I like it...it could use small improvements but every car can.

I think that intercooler is a bit small for your set up

please dont take offence...

body kit is fugly
hood dont line up right
wheels are too big
inercooler is too big
your wiper motor is spraypainted gold
looks like your missing a washer nozzle
not a fan of the clear taillights
stickers on the rear 1/4 window look cheasy
you have a wall clock for a tach
and most of all... you should have way more than 169whp on a turbo zc

no offence or nothing just friendly suggestions

ok lastpost for a start i dont have clear tail lights !!
look closer you'll find this a geniuen JDM Si ZC ef3 RHD it comes with these plastic lights !
as for 169whp that was on my old turbo running link ecu with 450cc injectors
but i tuned it i dont really know how to tune and i didnt have a wideband o2 sensor just a narrow band which is crap.

hood dont line up it was off my old crx

intercooler isnt to big i have no lag at all and when i upgraded to at i noticed a decent power gain

its probly got about 15whp now from new turbo i put on but i still want to get a tuner to tune it for me .

paints not dull in person pics are taken with my cell phone lol

front lights in ef's (plastic) are a mongrel to line up they all broken i havent seen a mint pair before.

i sparayed the car you know prime and engine bay i not a pro im lazy and couldnt be bothered masking everything i'll get round to it one day

i done 0-100kpmh in 5.9sec on my old turbo on 10psi
thats 0-60mph i think in imperial
cars is much faster now only running 6psi

Your intercooler is too big whether you think so or not.

There are people with built B-series that are running smaller intercoolers. You may think you have no lag but I can promise you: that intercooler + tiny boost (6 psi?) = lag.

Everyone else has said about what I would otherwise say. Props to you for going after a goal!
