hell yeah ur not wrong, waiting for my mate to reply (gettin them powdercoated for alot cheaper)
Hows the black interior holding up planning to do it is it worth it?

hope you like
hate u i just need the rear seats already have the armrests etc where did u get it from :(
DAMN IT IAN.
We thought it'd be a B series or a turbo or something hahaha
Still pretty pimpin' dude. I'd roll in the back of that, looks comfy.
ha ha they r a pain to find, got it off a fella from new zealand. they have the best stuff over there!!!
sorry to dissapoint people! :P
now im saving to get everything i need for a manual swap :)
id look for a shell but i dont have room, id get it bit by bit, but i dont have much room and if i find room it would get lost in 20min lol
looking for a manual kit for sale atm :)
miss driving manual!! alot more zippy compared to a sluggish auto :(
sounds good dude :thumbsup:
well I'm gonna be honest, being an owner of a D15B7 manual civic, it really isn't what I'd call zippy haha. gears are too big IMO.
but it'd probably be way more fun than automatic none the less.
I take it you gave up on the B swap idea?
compared to the auto it will be hahahaha,
and nah waiting for the opportunity for a nice B swap to swing by, i learnt not to rush things and wait till things some by at the right time :)
while waiting ill be having fun in a fuel efficient D series :) :p
finally came around to installing ITR LCAs :) now have front AND rear coilovers lol
http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/a...64673432_n.jpg
needs more lows dude XD
your not wrong man haha, going to adjust it today :P
just having trouble with one of the rear coils, checking it out today and will update wat the problem was
oops forgot to update, problem with rear coilover was i missed a spacer/washer on the toppart of the coilover (doesnt make sense but CBF describing, long story short its all G :) )
regretfully got my full license a good month and a half ago, girlfriend always wants to drive now grrr
http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/a...74029389_n.jpg
lemme know if you wanna sell the blades ;-)
u got the LCA installed upside down and left side right mate lol
what? the L is on the left and R is on the right, and they fit perfect..
gotta get a b swap or buy my D haha seriously though whens the manual conversion.??
they don't look upside down to me haha.
haha same ay, anywho
getting raped by a $1700 elec bill (thank god its divided!) so im not doing much to my car for a week or 2 lol
ive pretty much given up lookin for a full manual kit so the sourcing of bits and pieces will begin when i have money again lol
fair call yeah life always gets in the way of fun stuff
better off doing what i did, go buy a wreck for cheap with the manual kit and sell off the other parts and make your money back
^^ that was the original plan, but i have no room :( grrr
DAMN IT IAN!!! nah they look ok in white huh at any rate check ur pm i found a box for u but now your prolly out of dollers haha
i like them in white, always liked the look of white wheels
thanks man and yeah out of dollers, should have the money next week or week after :)
haha dude i hear that i just paid for my injen but now i wanna get a skunk2 manifold which means i would need a diffrent injen haha dude u will be chirpping third in no time with those bad boys
oooo ouch man.. haha just sell it :P
what u mean by chirpping third?? lol
Lol dave no point getting S2 until you can tune, you'll just lose performance :PQuote:

Hey hey!!!
haha have to wait if my car will pass pitts, im definitly selling my ferio green brake light, pm me an offer
and hey hey Mr. focus! lol we meet again!
Bro, i'm not stalking you.....honest hahahahaha
did you get done for ferio 3rd brake light??
Police never got me for that one.
Green isn't an emergency color so is not illegal and if you have the Ferio ducktail brake light wired up then its alllll sweet :)
yeah nah according to this dickwad it was, he was pointing at everything saying its illegal
If you get around the pits ok maybe remove the light, it's probably better to be more subtle with external modifications if police see a green tail light as "LOOK I'M AN ILLEGALLY MODIFIED VEHICLE!!" haha.Quote:

still waiting on more crap to come through the mail, ill give it a month or 2, if nothing comes then updates will be continuing
gtsripes how are those coilovers thinking of getting some what do you rate it?
they are comfy, i like them alot.
only thing i hate about them: only have 2 locking collars so the lowest setting at the rear is very close to stock height.. unless you want to have spring loose and wobbley and lower. so to go lower you will need different springs, or extended topmounts, or helper springs (small springs that go ontop of your springs)
are they the gab ss model?
moving the springbase lower to bring the ride height down will not make the springs sloppy.. you shouldn't notice much difference in spring response unless you have them squeezed really tight at the moment, which would be REALLY hard on the road.Quote:
Originally Posted by Gtstripes

nah its GAB HA series :)
and tim, i have it set so the springs are snug and not moving, if i adjust the collars it will pretty much leave the spring flopping around,
are you saying to bring it down and then let the weight of the car keep the springs in place?
snug as in while the coilovers werent on the car yet and sitting on the ground infront of me*
Yes you bring it down to lower the car and once the cars weight is on top it won't be a problem, just adjust the dampers accordingly. The spring will compress to a certain point under the cars weight and its the same either way. I'm doing my best to explain this in relatively simple terms but its difficult lol.
It just seems really weird that that is the coil overs lowest setting without adjusting the spring base...?
dump da bitch!!! lol
ahhk yeah i getcha just had to clarify and double check lol and the only thing i can adjust is the spring base..
ill give it a go and see how i go, i dont really mind about dumping it, aslong as its not monstertruck and doesnt scrape lol :D
nowww.... finding the motivation... meh ill do it next weekend
