Custom work (with pics)

Its mostly custom work...starting from the hood which i found from the junk yard...i made this scoop for cold air...the SRI placed directly after the scoop...this is what gives me the edge over the other NA tuned racers...great high end performance...with 4-1 headers...NGK Iridium Tip Plugs...Apexi VAFC II...NOS (Wet shots)...throttle body water line bypass (another edge) ported Intake manifold and headers...Weight reduction with no rear seats and empty trunk (tried reducing weight as much as possible) :lol: the ride is on its way to be boosted by an IHI RHF5 BB

lxcivic2k1 09-07-2006 01:16 PM

Definately unique...

kuNhoHan 09-07-2006 01:27 PM

what if it rains?

asadrana83 09-07-2006 01:34 PM

thanks bro!! i would be grateful to any suggestions...how about the black type-R grill and blacked out headlights...plus what do you say if i paint the hood black with shine (the normal black)

I`ve been driving it in rain...i was abit cautious first...but never had a problem...although i have been driving it under heavy rain...but didnt pull it above 3~4k rpm...the spounge does get wet and the funny part is that i see water in my exaust too when its raining...maybe its because of humidity...not sure of what has been happening in the engine...but no change in performance while that happens

Civicly02 09-07-2006 01:36 PM

one of a kind.. Great job is it RHD

kuNhoHan 09-07-2006 01:42 PM

yea i would be cautious about getting water into the intake manifold ... but other than that its clean ... rockin the ssm es1's !!!!

Curiouz_G 09-07-2006 02:10 PM

hmm... its... unique...

diskreet 09-07-2006 02:14 PM

I love Ferrari enough that I bleed Rosso Corsa. I can honestly say remove that flag from the car and it will be 100 times better.

goodtimes 09-07-2006 02:18 PM

RHD haha thats cool

white2K2EX 09-07-2006 02:21 PM

I'm not sure what the Ferrari flag is for, but put it up in your room instead.

The hood actually looks good. Paint it silver and it'll look better.

Well what I am about to say is all my opinion…

I do like the taillights. The lights gives it a clean crisp look unlike the 01-02 tails that are dark toned (more for a dark colored car IMO). The spoiler is also a good choice because it’s something that is different in a good way. It’s not too noticeable but efficient enough look for the sedan. Almost looks like the Tsunami spoiler. Also the side mirrors are nice. Are they the motorized ones?

What I don’t like is the hood. I think it kills the clean look you had going there. Yeah it’s unique but… not working for myself. I think if you have a hood it should be painted to color match the car or Carbon Fiber. Might be pushing it with a finished black hood…maybe. The hood scoop thing you have going there is to plain. Kinda looks like a hole.

Another thing is the headlights. The clear look was nice back in 2001-2002 but got old quickly. Yeah the thing to do is black them out but that is getting old too… so I dunno what to do now a days. I guess black hood = black housing.

The seats kind of look out of place. Don’t get me wrong I like Recaro and they are nice seats but don’t match the rest of the interior.

What I think you should do… get another hood or work on the one have. I guess black out the headlights. Get you a suspension set up to lower the car. Take off the side molding (if possible, never had them), and the mud guards.

But it seems that you’re not into the show car thing tho. But it’s just my opinion….

maybe you should get the car dynoed to see if the hood scoop actually makes much of a difference?? .5hp--->.6hp?? :giggle:

no comment

i like the hood, it just needs paint, either silver or gloss black. maybe put some mesh in the hole. change out the grill too and maybe black headlights

isuzu5000 09-07-2006 04:51 PM

uhh...whats the deal w/ the ferrari flags on the back seat and trunk? car looks fairly clean---i like the fogs. good luck w/ your ride man.

Thanks guys for ur opinions...dude this hood does make some gains...plus that sound of air intake while driving...think about it...Short Ram Intake but still you are getting cold air...you can actually feel a difference in temperature before the scoop and after the scoop...and its not just a hole...it has wire mesh in it too...this attanchment might give you a better picture...talking about the ferrari flag...its totally empty back there...you can actually see the bars and rails plus a big hole into the trunk as there in no bak seat like in the other pic...so i need to cover it with somethng...so i thought maybe the ferrari flag might do the work...n the ride gets lowered once i get it boosted :)

asadrana83 09-07-2006 07:25 PM

...Yes the door mirrors are motorised...they are the stock ones that we have with Oriel (the sunroof model)...

adishman 09-07-2006 08:14 PM

Love the nitrous lets see naw you got 110 hp...
hood is gay throw it away...

SLO REX 09-07-2006 08:34 PM

Hood not bad, but I agree with Brian (Bryan) seats are out of place.

Im thinking 10-20 HP

The only thing I think is decent is the recaro's. However the colour scheme doesn't flow with anything on your car.

Get rid of that hood, your intake, Ferrari flag, and the mud flaps.

Lower that thing, it looks like your going off roading.

Looks like you have no tread left on your tires, buy some new tires.
