Default Rice or Nice? EG9

From Indonesia With Love...

[IMG][/IMG]











I know suspension is bit high, it's because of this..


[IMG][/IMG]

If you see the pavement, It's actually kinda steep.. sideskirt will definitely scrape

So basically this car is for contest purposes , before the idea is building high power D series engine with Turbo kit... (would be simple and easy though) but, somehow.. I just feel NA is just the essence of Honda, so I just make the best for what I have. I did look for B series swap before, but the engine just way to overpriced in here.. just to give you an Idea B16a will cost around 3000-4000 for a Halfcut . B18... don't even bother and k20a is just ridiculous



Please share your thoughts and ideas for further improvement

my 1st ever motor build was a high compression z6, exospeed head, bisi header, p29s etc. will always have a soft spot for these. Good luck with your build!

Who cares what others think; do you really need the approval of others? Your should build your car for you, not others.

In conclusion, looks good to me

I wouldn't call it rice.. I don't prefer the colors and such, but there is a lot of work in that car. Kudos to you for building it the way you like it. Well done

Looks like it was built with care.

I prefer function over form. This car is way too flashy and has too many unnecessary and functionless additions for my taste.

I think people who call it "rice" are ignorant.

Right away you can tell this car is from a different country. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone thinks the only way to build a Honda is with "jdm" parts or terrible fitting wheels.

There is more effort into this car than most of the HT members put into their own, and for that I give you a

It's not my personal style, but I can respect it.

There are a few things on it that don't particularly suit my personal taste, but you've put a lot of solid work into this car and I can respect and appreciate that. It's far from rice, it's definitely dope as ****.

WEll, what is your definition of RICE?

Definitions aside...I can see:

Too many colors, blue, carbon fiber, yellow, gold wheels AND polished lips, red seats (in some pics) orange corner lights, etc. Facepalm...
What are you trying to do?
Use all the colors in a crayola crayon pack than you've about succeeded.

And useless parts that do nothing (see all those things for downforce, cutouts on the rear bumper, for what?)


And to top it ALL of...it's slower than a Honda V6 minivan in a drag race.

Thousands of miles away, I kinda feel bad for you actually.
