what do you think of the ride?
 

I have been reluctant to post pics of my ride for fear that it could be labeled the ever feared word... "rice" I know how critical you guys are, but I kind of what just like your input. I am about to install a rear sway 19mm and a Carbing lower tie.....what do you think?

Drop it, new rims, change tails back to stock and fix your interior, then you'll be in right direction. Nice 04-05 rear bumper...had me going there for a second until I looked at your headlights lol. What exhuast is that?

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

love the interior matching trim, but like everyone else is gonna say... lose the tails...

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

I ma still undecided about about what route i want to go with dropping and how much and all. exhaust is a a carbon fiber axle back a shop made for me (it is sweet) I just painted those few interior odds and ends and I like like the look.. it is a weird combo but it is growing on me

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

i just did the tails thing I they grew on me too...I put all kinds of leds in them and at night it looks sweet.....I am actually smoking them this weekend

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

Nice bro! I noticed u have a V2 intake, how are the gains if any, and how does it compare to a regular aem?

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

it was night and day no bs I had a crap ebay cold air with a k&n filter .... the bottom pipe cracked so i moved the filter to make it sri.....terrible.....
the v2 was instant noticeable difference don;t think it's going to be like 15 hp cause its not. you will notice gains throughout yourr power band. the sound.....thats all i have to say...the sound
my fav mod in that engine bay is that neuspeed bar.....

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

Awww nice, they will look better smoked then. As far as exhuast, I thought it looked like it was wrapped in CF. Reminds me of the HKS one that's wrapped in CF. What kind of drop you looking for? You could always go with coilovers and adjust them to the height you want. Coils are pricey but worth it.

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

I know they are worth it, thats what is holding me to decide. I think i should save up and just do that. I got this car brand new in 2002, and I have taken real good care of it...babied for years...now I am just starting to spend more on mods.....if I am going to do it...I should do it right....what do you think about KYB adjustables

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

thanks for the input friends

more...

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

Sweet, keep on keepin on.

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

Nice color scheme.

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

loose the tails all together. smoked or not. also how loud is the exhaust? does it still have the resignator? that can make ur car rice in a heartbeat if it sounds like a bee!

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

now a days everything is rice right? unless its what you like... lol all i gotta say bro is do what it do and do what you like :P

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

I will take a guess and say anything that can be popped off with a screw driver on the car is painted blue. That thing is leaning to the side of rice. You need to get a better balance with what you paint.

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

sweet car man.....def needs a drop though......

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

nadaboh!!!
paint the eye lids as well to match the car. they look black but i could be wrong. and as stated above 04/05 tails are the best looking tails for em2's. the whole chrome thing is for baller cars not imports.

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

Damn i need to get me a v2 with that much hp gains.....your car looks gay but its your car and you have sure put time into it and made it to your style. :tup:

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

the exhaust is very quiet, it is solely an axle back system....the rest is all stock, stock resonator, stock cat, etc... I love it....its nice and quiet!

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

Nice ride but loose them tails and drop it. Use them stock 04' or 05' model tails instead.
:cool:

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

Im sorry but you just got everything done wrong to that car!!! From decals to muffler....

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

the decals arent visible unless the door is open, its not like they are on the car itself... everything done wrong?....thats a little harsh

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

can't believe its that bad

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

hey man, its unique, i like the color, but not too into the matching trim, kinda doesn't work well with the biege interior. it sure is hard to find anything that matches it, i would know. not too into the tails, but might look better smoked. i have those rims too, it'll look way better dropped tho

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

thank you...still deciding on the type of drop i want...i think im gonna do it right and go full coilovers

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

Sorry for being harsh but its the truth....The style is not unique in anyway, I see a lot of riced out cars here in LA and Ive seen it a lot worse than your car. This is just what ppl think when they see it but dont let us change your mind if you like it. Have fun with it :D

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

if you like it thats all that matters. id rather see different civics driving around instead of everyone with stock look.

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

yep yep. always believe on what you think it looks cool, and that what makes it unique. Nice blue trim interior btw.

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

how should I drop...any suggestions...

Re: what do you think of the ride?
 

1.75 drop in front, 1.5 in rear. neuspeed sport sedan springs and tokicos...works for me
