Cutoff of the lights, these are the PasswordJdm ones.


Here is to show how far I was from the wall, about 60 foot.


From out the moon roof.

High Beams

Here is my favorite pic yet.



So I got some new tires a while back and wanted to update my picture thread.
I am now rockin Nitto NeoGen 225x45x17. I have them aswell as Adam (Green) and so does a lot of other members, they are by far the best tire I have ever ran.

Here are some pics of the tire I am talking about.



Here is a a pic of them setting next to my old.
The Nitto Neogens are 225x45x17, Old are 205x40x17


Here is my wheel.


Here they are all mounted up and installed. I am setting on stock springs with the tokico blues. As you can tell with a 1-1.5" drop it would look sick. I did NOT have to roll my rear fenders with the 225's and the stock springs, if you plan on any drop you will have to.

WOW! no one wants to flame?

Sweet. Way to represent the four door.

DDragon7

Yeah, it goes to show how dead this place is.

But why is your header in your oven?

Alpha 5

iTrader: (8)

Because I painted it with High heat paint, with the cold weather it was going to take 32 Hrs to dry. So I put it in the oven at 200 to heat it up. I then painted it and then baked it at 300 for 1 HR. When I was done it was fully cured and ready to install. This works on brake components as well. If you don't want to wait just throw it in the oven. Warning this may upset your wife or girlfriend or mom whichever applies.

headlights could also be placed in an oven for modification.. however made sure its on low heat.. lolz

Not bad man. Get those JDM tails or whatever, would look better with those. Drop will look a lot better too. Nice rims.

Alpha 5

iTrader: (8)

^^^^^Have you seen them some where? LOL.

By the way I did not leave you a neg rep. It is just not green because I don't have a lot of rep power yet. As I gain rep power the rep I gave you will change color to green. (I THINK....) BTW. The rep you left me in return is also not green, I am thinking it will also change as your rep power grows.

estebomb_ftw

iTrader: (1)

Haha of course!

Awww gotcha, I was wondering why it wasn't green. Thought it was neg rep lol.

TRIZ

iTrader: (14)

anyways, look good. Whats on your breather hose, it looks dope- but what the hell is it?

To me, the fogs look outta place, if they were the clear lensed ones, or even the ion ones, they'd match up with your headlights a lot better, but the yellow ones just look weird, but not wierd enough to take them off because I said something! ha.

Overal, looks pretty dope

TheMoogly

... why do you have the breather attached to your intake? Shouldnt it be on the engine? i really like your car, though, you've put alot of work into it! So the header in the oven thing... so what color did you paint them? They look ceramic?

Alpha 5

iTrader: (8)

(Header in the oven)
It was a ceramic coating that needed to cure at 300 for 2 hours.

(Valve cover breather)
The little breather is attached to the valve cover and not the intake. There is a bolt pluging the hole in the intake. You just have to look a little closer. The reason I did this was, I do not like the idea of sucking air out of the valve cover in to the throttle body and then the combustion chamber. The air from the valve cover has oil in it and when burned causes carbon buildup.


Thanks for the kind words.....

Eyger

I did the same thing with my intake. however, I just plugged up the hole in the intake side...It's already getting air from the main intake filter. It looks phat too!

Alpha 5

iTrader: (8)

OK, OK, again I PLUGGED THE HOLE ON THE INTAKE, THE FILTER IS ON THE VALVE COVER. LOOK AT THE PIC UNDER THE ONE OF THE HEADER IN THE OVEN. This is a good pic showing the bolt that plugs the intake bung.

Updated with pics of the RS LIP.
I know they are dark, I took them with my phone today after work. I will try to get some better with my real camera later.

There has been some talk about turn signal bulbs that are clear or "chrome" then light up amber well in the last pic you can see them. In some of the earlier pics they are lit up.

Let me know what you guys (and gals if there are any) think.

Alpha 5

iTrader: (8)

Morning bump.

DDragon7

I think blacked out headlights would look better.

Alpha 5

iTrader: (8)

I am thinking about it. I just paid soooo much for these from Password. I am thinking of picking up some oem on Ebay or some thing and playing around. Just a thought.

Looks good Alpha, don't like the rim personally, but its your car not mine. I think that hood would actually work for my goofy wastegate placement. If you were to give it me, I wouldn't turn it down. Think of the weight savings and extra cooling effect on your engine.....I'm really doing you a favor.

Otherwise, you've got nice setup. I agree on the BO headlights though.

Alpha 5

iTrader: (8)

Thanks for the kind words.

When I get some extra $ (HA,HA) I plan on replacing the wheels, I had hubcaps and stealies. So these are better than that.

I would trade you hoods but you would just paint this CF one also, I can't have that. LOL

I am going to buy another set of lights just to Black out. I do not want to ruin these. I paid WAAAAYYYYY tooo much for them from Passwordjdm...

Here is a more recent pic. I am parked out in front of the stereo shop that I am sponsored by.

hey how does your evo hood work with your sri? like do u keep that little plate under it off when it rains or do u put it on and take it off depending on the weather??

Alpha 5

iTrader: (8)

Unless it is just raining like crazy, I leave it off. I figure it is going to get wet anyway so.....I mean when you drive threw a puddle or just driving in the rain it gets wet.
Here is a better question. If you look at the hood there are two vents (one on either side of the cheese grater) these vents look like mini ram air scoops. The one on the passenger side is right in front of the intake. So even with the shield on the cheese grater the other vent blows air or water right at the intake filter. What can I do about that?
Last month Southern Oklahoma got something like 20" of rain. I drove my car every day. I have no problems the car runs fine.

So a friend of mine just purchased a camera:
Canon EOS 10.5 Megapixel Digital SLR Camera
Model: EOS 40D


And he has no idea how to use it. So I suggested we go take some pictures of my car. That way he can practice and I can have more pics to show off. Now, as I mentioned he has no idea how to use this thing so some of the pics look like crap and yes in most of the pics he was using a tripod. We went down to the old town square which has orange lights so that made most of the pics look funny anyway.

Well here are the pics, comments as usual are expected.
Lastly: I KNOW I NEED A DROP.




































This is for foos. LOL

civicfan1203

looks damn good

MURDOCK

Hey Alpha 5 we need some day time pics but looks very nice from what I see.
Once you lower your car it will look 10xs better. Man I still need to lower mine, but **** at least you have the suspension ready to go in If I had all the parts I'd have it lowered tomorrow.
