Just felt like sharing..

The whole domino effect my car has had on me is amazing. One thing truely leads to another..and mods get more and more expensive. I just got RSX-S leather front seats maybe a month ago...then i bought civicmexicano's sf turbo kit which should be on the way now AND i just got the most amazing deal on rear discs...$220.50 shipped for all this on ebay:

before:

after:


needless to say, im going fvcking crazy..
I wanted to share...opinions please! how can i improve my ride? what else is left? does anyone have a cure for this disease?

wow, i really like your ride. I wouldn't do anything else to the exterior, except maybe a CF hood, but that might ruin how clean it looks.

LOL! I was watching that rear conversion on ebay, but I decided I have more important things right now. It IS a sweet deal. Good luck with it.

what else is involved in that conversion.....

I good friend of mine totaled his si and it was basically a big scrap. I pulled off the rear disc brakes like those pictured. I have had them for about 6 months now just laying around and I may sell them. What else is involved in the conversion. I heard you need something like a larger master cylinder or something like that. If its too much work I will just sell on here.

of course you would say that...your car looks identical.

thanks for all the compliments guys. As far as tinting my windows...I really don't know. I've wanted to since day one, but in my mind, i come up with excuses like "but that's $120 that could go towards _____ instead..." Turbo and rear discs being in that blank the last few months. Maybe once I've finished all these projects I will.

looks awesome, just throw the turbo in, and build the motor. your car looks so hot at is. I would leave it other than maybe tint, which isnt even needed.

i say keep your car like that. it says HOTTT all over it. i would've preferred if you didn't paint the amber part so it stands out more. but your car is banging regardless.

yea, i regret not doing that. I think once i finish everything else, i'll either buy or trade another set and re-do them.

I think I will either shave or paint the door handles, but the mirrors are staying black. Speaking of which...should I shave the handles? I can get the body work done for free, so...what'ya guys think? and yes, yes, boost is coming...this isn't exactly cheap. I have to invest atleast another $1300 just to get it going. But ETA is end of summer.
