hate the hood, but otherwise pretty sweet

[FGCOUPE]

thanks man!
yea....with these CF hoods, you either love em or hate em. Seems thay way anyhow? lol

[speedfoos]

CF looks good on blue, just has too many big vents for my taste. Can't wait to see the new wheels on it!

[FGCOUPE]

well....recieved both the Razo 340g shift knob & momo steering wheel!
I love the Razo, but the Momo was worse then described on Ebay. So im pissed about that shitbox steering wheel but installed it anyhow seeing as i already paid 120.00 for the hub and wanted to rid the OEM wheel. Ill keep it as a Temp for now until i get a BRAND NEW Pilota1 Momo steering wheel which i wanted in the first place! argghh!

On the way hopefully REAL soon now once that guy gets his shit together is the FMIC i mentioned. That will definetly add to exterior appearance!




all in good time i guess? lol

[FGCOUPE]

just got my Greddy FMIC installed last night, thing was easy to install!
the hardest part was actually removing the stock SMIC from the car, whata pain in the ass that was! The pic was taken afterwards in the gloomy garage so sorry for the poor quality.



So far im still waiting for:
~ Front grille to arrive (it was repainted)
~ Fuel door (was used as colormatch)
~ Wheels (still coming in from Japan, you all know how long this will take! lol)
~ New tires

Cool car man. Its neat you are fixing it up nicely. Do you have a lot of weight put on the front wheels when you brake while entering a corner?

[CivicFreak03]

Car is turning out quite nice...

I would def be pissed about the steering wheel also looks like it has been through hell!

[FGCOUPE]

thanks for the replies...
yea, get a load of this!

i left NEG feedback on Ebay for that steering wheel, the guy Emails me back and tells me im a frickin SCAMMER? wtf!
i paid for it obvisouly as i now own the POS!

now i have to go out and buy another one, i hate this Momo i got from the moron.

[inthezoneac]

nice car, but would be even better if the driver sat on the left side. Me being on the right of anything feels awkward. And shifting with left hand, although I'm lefty, would feel weird as well lol.

[FGCOUPE]

trust me...RHD is NO different really!!
shifting is exactly the same as a LHD car, but once you get used to it...No different what so ever man!

anyhow....
FMIC installed along with the front grille w/GT badge but still no new wheels as of yet. Still waiting on them?



GTR body package sets this car off too!

[M_Mullins]

It looks fantastic.

When are the wheels due?

[FGCOUPE]

just confirmed that the wheels are now on the way from Japan, they will arrive in 2 weeks time + 1 week in customs. OTher then this....

i just spent the last 6 hours detailing the shit out of this thing in & out for the car show tommorow! what a fooking job that was.

im off to the show with this car first thing in the morning so im pretty stoked!

[insomnak8702]

good luck at the show. pics form the event would be nice

[HonCiv02]

definitely in for pics of the car show and your skyline.

[FGCOUPE]

ok, i didnt feel like uploading a crazy ammount of pics but here is one of the event showing some of the Skylines that showed, for which was an awesome turnout!!



15 Skylines from Vancouver, Victoria & Kamloops appeared in this event (HNIC 2008'). I had a blast even though i was ill for the most part of it.
Even won a doorprize in the end which wasnt alot but hey...i won someting! lol.

Winner was a guy from Victoria with a showcase white GTR. Congrats to him!
