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:

I wanted to share...opinions please! how can i improve my ride? what else is left? does anyone have a cure for this disease? :lol:

civic01vtec 05-29-2005 09:49 PM

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.

MiamiUgen7 05-29-2005 09:53 PM

ride looks slick :tup:

tripledoublegs 05-29-2005 09:54 PM

no hood, keep it the way it is.
BTW, there is no cure!!! lol

skipbarber 05-29-2005 10:00 PM

no cf...i think it would draw a little too much attention.

what car are those rear discs from? is it direct replacement?

skipbarber 05-29-2005 10:10 PM

'03 Si, yes, it is direct replacement for the most part.

tinman 05-29-2005 10:15 PM

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.

gearbox 05-29-2005 10:22 PM

wow looks done to me. Maybe get tint if you don't have any. Otheriwse its super clean. Now focus on performance. That's what I'm doing.

FTK01CIVIC 05-29-2005 10:28 PM

looks hot! :tup: :D

scizod 05-29-2005 10:29 PM

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.

looks good :sweet: love the rims ;)

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

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.

eye_see_you 05-30-2005 08:39 AM

the after picture = hawtness keep it up man I know the feeling and pain as well i've dropped an easy 15k in to my car since I got back from IRAQ and it just keeps going

bighav33 05-30-2005 08:43 AM

looks clean. Ext. is done, I would just work on performance now

goodtimes 05-30-2005 12:59 PM

yeah looks clean dont change a thing

crazyasian 05-30-2005 01:15 PM

can i say i hate u? j/k..keep up the good work man. GET THAT DAMN TURBO IN!!!

bamb00 05-30-2005 01:36 PM

god, looks exactly like my car holy jesus.

looks very very awesomely nice man. paint the handles and mirrors?

2K1Civic17"Gabe 05-30-2005 01:40 PM

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.

CiViCPrAnInG2k1 05-30-2005 02:09 PM

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. :shrug:

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.
