My car has looked aesthetically exactly the same for nearly four years now. So recently, I decided to change a couple things.

















As always, thanks for looking!

sweet ride

 

What did you change?

 

Color of wheels (used to be bronze, since '06), added the hood pins (as my hood from '02 is starting to split up front between carbon layers after years and years), changed valve cover color (has been black since, well... The dawn of time), and went with a blue lugnut (to ease the ricer in me).

And for those who care, here's a pretty dyno sheet.



Car went 11.4 @ 123mph with my sub-par driving.

looks great as usual Derek.

 

looks awesome

 

what size is that downpipe?

 

 

Beautiful car and great numbers!!

 

The downpipe is 2.5", and flares up to 3" under the crossmember.

I physically cannot fit anything larger. I have already removed a copious amount of material from the rear crossmember in order to squeeze the downpipe through with the EKK1 mounts.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

Wasnt this car supposed to be in Honda Tuning and didnt you post this on the ATC?!?!?


I fuggin' LOVE this car, no joke. Those numbers are amazing, I bet the thongs literally slide off of women when you give em rides.

 

A certain editor didn't want it because of retarded reasons.

 

which were? the only thing i dont like about the car is that the lower grill was cut and replaced with mesh. everything else is great

 

probably the fact it has rotas. car looks ****in on point man, love it

 

ish is **** Derek. I love your work as always. Pretty excited that I now have another reason to make a visit to imw

 

The car was refused by Aaron Bonk back in 2008 because the car has Rota wheels.

As far as the lower grille goes, it has been cut up since I bought the car, and never really bothered replacing it. I like the mesh protecting the intercooler, also. Keeping a 700 dollar intercooler in good condition is more of a priority to me than anything.

function>form s0n wait.... :Mt.Dew:

 

nice numbers on the car bro!

great looking car there

 

i figured you had it for a good reason, given that situation i would have done the same as well. car still looks clean with it. for not making it into the mag because of the wheels

 

there was a silver del sol that was in last issue with Rota wheels. and it was less bad *** than yours.

 

Thats one stupid reason, I remember you talking about it on ATC.

There was a red EJ6 in last months magazine. It was lowered on circuit 8s with drum rear brakes. I was like wtf, the boosted K series EK didnt make it but this one did?? One dumbfck editor.
