Out the paint shop
 
Well I got my car out the shop..... here are some pictures.
The pictures really suck, I took them in my driveway because it was about to rain. I will have some better pictures later.

Thanks for the comments. The car is a show car (i don't drive around with a green civic all the time, i drive that white car in the background :giggle: ), but I tried to keep the body as clean and simple as possible.

Haha yea. The car was wrecked when I got it, so all the airbags were deployed. I just never got around to getting a new steering wheel. I plan to get one after I finish my motor build.

Re: Out the paint shop
 
Yeah, Thank god this a show car cause I was a bit scared. Def clean though, paint job is nice. But like most said, not my style.

Car is unique whats up with the rear plate? looks funky like that.

trurace 06-27-2007 01:13 AM

Re: Out the paint shop
 
^^^^ My brother and I built the car. He always like the shaved plate thing, so he decided to do it. I really really didn't want to do it, but he did it anyway.......... w/e it came out nice and it cleaned up the car a lil bit.. so I like.

My brother deals with the body work. I deal with the engine work. I usually try to talk him out of getting to crazy with the body stuff and try to get him to keep it nice and clean....... so ^^^^ thats what we came up with :shrug:

And thats my life story:)

It's a manual, has a clutch pedal.

Car flows together real well, I'd have to get use to that green. Not my choice but hey its different, and that gets attention.

Re: Out the paint shop

Re: Out the paint shop
 
good job for all the hard work... not my style for the color or vents in fender. but anyways its a good show car. whats the motor like? mods? pics?

trurace 06-27-2007 02:02 PM

Re: Out the paint shop
 
Yea well I had Z3 fenders, but one of the inserts flew off while I was driving lol. I just took them out, and I planning on putting the OEM fenders back on but I just haven't got around to it.

Yea the same shop did the interior. I just took all the interior out sand and primed it and gave it to my painter

The car was an automatic, but I did a manual swap

The trunk area I just have an 8" fosgate he series (i think) and a fosgate 1000rms mono amp


Ummm.... as far as engine mods. Right now I am boosting 8psi. And my turbo set up:
PCS XFC
Garret t3/t4 a.r.63
dezod mani
dezod down pipe
tial wastegate
ebay intercooler
custom intercooler piping
greddy typeR BOV
custom dual 2.25" exhaust

Hey Rich.....get the car fixed? What was it?

Re: Out the paint shop
 
even if it is green it's still probably pretty quick. You'll get respect for that if nothing else.

Whats up Paul. I take it the move went well??

I still don't really know whats wrong with the car, but I haven't really had much time to play around with the car, it went into the pait shop a couple days after you tuned it. Im pretty much stumped. Sometimes it runs perfect and then two seconds later the car will overheat :shrug:. I dono, but I need to figure it out befor I make the drive up to orlando for HIN.

Sorry again for having the car break down in the middle of no where. lol I still feel really bad about that. Good luck at your new location. And I will be getting at you soon for parts for my motor build

Dude that car is baddass who did your interior and how much did that cost

Re: Out the paint shop
 
iight thanks man

spoonEM 06-28-2007 02:08 AM

Re: Out the paint shop
 
definitely not my style...but it is clean as hell and I give you major props for not slacking. i cannot count how many shitty paint jobs ive seen on "show" cars...you should get quite a few trophies with that setup. Just out of curiosity, how much the paint job cost?

..now you just need a new steering wheel. :lol:

Eyger 06-28-2007 02:15 AM

Re: Out the paint shop
 
That's straight dude, I love your ride inside and out. I really like that color. Interior is friggin SLICK man. A lot of people don't like that style around here, but that's right up my ally, well with the exception of how much I'm interested in Spo-com type JDM parts, if anyone catches my drift... That's mad cool that your brother hooked you up with all the body work. I got a question for you, PM sent. Props big time.

It's all good Rich. I got your back on parts for the build my man. It's a shame too, tuning was going great until that ish happened.

Yea, the car is a monster until 6000rpm hahaha. But, I have an LX head laying around that I might send up to you for a PNP. But I dono, I am kind of torn between buying a new car or building my motor????..... But I will let you know before the end of the summer.

Im thinking about buying a TC, so you'll be hearing from me either way :)

Yea I still remember. I didn't have time to take the pics today, but tomorrow I get them to you.

But I did get a chance to look at them and all I really did was wrap all the wires up with electric tape and bring them inside the door
