Default Took a bunch of pictures today - 56k Beware (and 28.8 for you, Matt)

In yet another attempt to avoid doing my college app essays, I got together with two friends (AmericanWagoner and cougarchick on this board) and we washed out cars and took some pictures. Enjoy, and PLEASE don't flame about the Tezza's, they make me happy, and cost me almost nothing

I like this one a lot

I didn't say I couldn't afford springs, I said that I'm going to work on the suspension soon, but I'd rather take my time and do it right, with good shocks, good springs, correct camber, etc. Besides, how do you know that I'm not using H&R O.E.'s with Koni Yellows, and have a 450hp CRVtec under the hood? I don't, but you don't know that. And useless gauges? Those are for the turbo setup that I'm installing in three weeks, I'm welding the downpipe together next weekend. It's my car so I'll do what I want to it

Why does everyone say looks like a 4x4. The parking lot at school has one and a half foott "bumps" more like walls that we must drive over everyday. Our friend has a lowered car and he bottomed out everyday. I like my car the height it is right now. Maybe later I can lower it. Oh yea they are larger tires than stock, dunno why. Where is the pic of my only hp mod john?

Seriously. Unfortunatly everyone does not have the luxury of flat (or even close to it) roads. I honestly don't understand while a bone stock JDM HX Civic from the 80's was considered hot on this board, but just because an Integra is at factory height its a "4x4" not to mention that half of the people that say that crap don't even have a car
I love Honda-Tech, its a great board, but WTF is up with all the haters

U really wanna know y it looks like a 4x4? cuz it has aftermarket rims on that car.....its not the stock wheels..thats why...along with the smaller low profile tires than the stock rubber

my car had rims on it b4 i got it lowered (rolled on them for about 1-2months)..then slammed it...when i look back at the pix i took..it looks like a 4x4

look...for the red civic, its fine...since it doesnt have rims, the height looks normal for a stock car, but not for the silver Teg...looks jacked up than stock...heres to prove it looks like a freakin 4x4

my car stock (bad quality)


with wheels on stock height (17s)


Now


i dropped it shortly after gettin the rims...
