found the link you were looking for https://honda-tech.com/zeroforum?id=28

 

What if I used the word "retrofit" and put a few more pictures of the xenons, then would it belong in this forum? what's the difference?

 

It you post a little more tech, this should fit right in this forum.

looks like a great setup. you should take a picture from inside the car on a road.

 

whats w/ the lil scoop on the drivers side? that supposed to keep ur master cylinder cool? the alternator? why is the rice only on 1 side?

 

Props on having a girlfriend and still being able to mod your car.

 

interesting hood... where's the evo you took it from? j/k

doesn't look TOO bad, I agree with JDM kid.. a gf that actually helps you mod your car is a good thing

 

You are pretty lucky to have a women like your wife.Your set up does look good.

 

belongs in a/c, that hood sucks, i had it and it let water run down and rust my dc headers

 

WrEnG F00rum! DERP!

 

my bf has that hood and doesn't like it, but i do

 

did you mount the HID's in the OEM headlight or is it an after market projector headlight? Got any close up shots of the lights? Or any info on how you mounted them?

I touched a booby once.

 

nice...looks like its got some power under the hood too eh?

 

the seats are kinda kool, was it a pain to get the rails on there?

 

I'll post more pics of how the seats are in there tonight.

The HIDs are OEM BMW X5 projectors in some black housing aftermarket housings I got from Island motorsports. unfortunately I didn't take any pics while putting them together. basically I cut a hole in the back of the reflector and JB welded the projector in. then just did some wiring and it was done. it's not that hard, took me maybe 4-5 hours, there is a good write up somewhere on this site, or check out xenonforum.com (i think that is it).

as for the hood, I would love to have an OEM hood, but I got this one for a reason. for some reason, my stock hood would only get hot right where the two vents are on the evo hood. the turbo is quite a bit in front of that spot, but it'd still only get hot to the touch right there. so I bought it, and dremeled out the vents (louvre style) and I've noticed asignificant difference in surface temp of the hood. which leads me to believe that the underhood temps must have been effected at least a little bit. And, least importantly, I kinda like the way it looks now, it grew on me. it is agressive looking especially complimented by the headlights.

BTW I understand the difference now, thank you.

 

and BTW my fiance' is great, she's got an A1 VW golf that is gonna be getting a 1.8t swap in the near future.

 

DAMN, look at that GRILL...what a nice FMIC

 

motor shots?

 

Wow, impressive beam pattern. Ugly hood.

 

here is some more pics...

the headlight up close and visible...



the headlight from the back...



the ballast....



the "custom" seat rails....




and just for fun....

my cute little turbo Y8...



and my pretty new progress coilovers...

 

the HIDs still have tons of light escaping from the sides, cutoff is nice, but it may still be blinding people.

And that hood looks like CRAP

 

glad you like it, I see all my time and effort into my car is worth it. I love hearing your compliments and feedback, [626]96-GSR, you make my life worthwile.

 

ay caramba!
