[size="3"]7/24: A Few Quick Snaps of the fresh paint[/img]







7/30: Rolling Shot .. super quick edit

 

Looking good man, it's always good to see some de-ricing action.

A bit too many/repetitive pictures and too large. You should consider editing them to reduce the size to something smaller. Also... I recommend a Vibrant Performance high flow cat, lookup the part number from their site and search it on Amazon (they seemed to have the best prices when I was buying Vibrant stuff a couple of months ago).

Good luck,

-Walter

 

thanks a lot man .. yeah i agree with the redundancy of images, I have now revamped my build thread, a lot of progress since i was here last!!

 

so fcukig clean gj

 

Maybe I'm old and it was a product of growing up in the late 90's but I love clean body kits with big front mouths. I guess I've been out of the game to long but don't know why everyone hates "rice" so much.

 

u need a 99-00 rear bumper now..

 

thanks man

hey man i dont hate rice at all .. it's just not my thing, i don't hate on anything even if it's something that i dont prefer.. everyone has their own preferences


that's what a lot of people are telling me, what's the difference exactly?

 

looks great!

 

Paint looks great!

 

thanks a lot guys!!

hell i posted the wrong link sorry.. ill find the right one

 

the lip on the 96 rolls in alot more, the 99 rolls out and alittle lower .. much cleaner


left 96-98 right 99-00

 

Car looks fresh!

 

Looks awesome man, I can't wait to paint my hatch!

Two quick questions...
-In your rear disc conversion pic, what do you call the red polyurethane mounts? Trailing arm bushings? I am getting ready to do my rear disc conversion and I wanted to do more research on whether or not I should get them.
-Where did you get the dress-up hardware? Do you have any pics of it installed?

Thanks!

 

nice... always wanted a ej8

 

thanks a lot man .. i love ej8s

yes theyre trailing arm bushings .. i was actually told the polyurethane ends up binding? i dont see how if you use hi lithium grease, so i will be giving it a try anyways ...

for the dress up hardware, i got them at a true value

thanks!!!

Yes, that bumper is so much cleaner, that is now on my to do list, thanks a lot, more stuff to get done now hahaha .. yeah i can definitely see the difference though .. i will be getting one for sure

 

dang. it looks 1000000% better than the day you got it. free bump for a clean car. *black civics ftw.

 

thanks bro!!!!

 

Can we expect to see more of this build in this thread or is this one just to show off what you've done so far?

 

Yea that is on my list of things to do...

 

fresh ej8, i like the wheels on it bro.

 

This is the build thread that shows how I got it and what I did to it until today, all new updates will be posted in here for sure.

yeah i think i have to get my doors redone, since it's all fresh paint, i'd be able to do that

thanks man!!
