got rid of the crap z3 fenders and lowered it on coilvers about 2in drop

painted valve cover, using airplane stripper to remove old paint and plain old krylon paint i think it turned out pretty good [IMG][/IMG]
[IMG][/IMG]
also added a aem cai instead of the crappy short ram

 

Like the way the valve cover turned out. looks good man. whats next to come?

 

valve cover looks tight..so do those wheels

 

like how the valve cover came out any other plans for it?

 

looks pretty good, whats with the hood.

 

good start. are those stickers on your hood? lol

 

car looks good, are those playing cards on the hood? i saw that in another thread on here some were

 

yeah there playing cards, it was a idea gone bad, i clearcoated them on there and they would have stayed but it was snowing and i put my hood back on without letting it dry enough so there peeling off badly[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

 

and as for other plans, i have a crx dash that will go in when i get time, and i have a diffrent b16 tranny i want to get rebuilt. i also have a quaffe lsd thats going in the new tranny. oh and a wire tuck

 

DUDE!!! I love that idea for the plaing cards!!! As Long as you get enought clear over the whole thing you shouldnt have a problem with them comming off.

Props for the idea, I just might have to steal it from you.
Haha

Im digging the valve cover too, soo sick.
Keep up the build

 

thanks, im debating on what to do with the hood next, i might re do the cards.

 

That or you could rust it out.
Did that bafore, but i lost my pictures of it.
We did a rusty rising sun on the hood.
Hahaha
Its was so awesome

 

i dont know about the rust, im afraid of it spreading lol.. the hardest part of the cards is getting them to lay flat once you spray them with clear they start to curl up. if i do it again ill glue them on and then hit them with the clear. ill also use more cards

 

i want to do a wire tuck on mine so bad but i have no idea where to start! haha

 

well, i baught wire loom/elec tape/zip ties and shrink wrap, im basically going to take my harness out and re make it longer and delete all the pluggs i dont need. ive already done away with the a/c harness and the coolant fan harness. im going to run the headlight wires through the frame that the fenders bolt to.

 

thanks for that, i might have to give that a try and see how it turns out!

 

niceee

 

actually just started my crx dash install. kinda ticked the dash isnt in that good of shape, found alot of cracks and i still need alot of pieces

 

how much of a difference is there between the crx and the civic dash?

 

the gauge cover is more rounded and the center whare the radio is actually turned toward the driver in the crx.

 

looks good so far
