[Esprit09]

Sent you an email edwin. And for now i was gunna paint my hubcaps gunmetal, what type of paint should i use?

[G-rat]

for my rims i used dupli color high heat engin enamel.......i put about 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint on...been on there for about year and has'nt chipped at all......i would buy the dupli color clear also and put a few layers of that on....just prevent fading cause mine are lookin flat black now and they use to be gloss

[EJ1Rider]

lookin good....its sooo clean :)

[PooM_EJ2]

Sweet ass Aztec EJ1 dude, looks sooooo clean. Alot better condition than mine!

Has your laquer started to peal off yet?

[Esprit09]

Do you mean the clearcoat? If so, on my hood it is.

[Dina]

Sweet ass Aztec EJ1 dude, looks sooooo clean. Alot better condition than mine!

Has your laquer started to peal off yet?
Laquer paint was not used on Civic's they are all base coat/ Clear coat laquer was stopped used on cars in the U.S. Back in the 70's.

[PooM_EJ2]

Not on the UK civics ;)

[JayNev]

hidden antenna?? where? please expalin :)

[Esprit09]

Mini update....taped off the trim pieces off for painting tommrow, also doing the wiper arms. Took me about 2 hours to tape everything off, now i know why body work and the like is so expensive. :TU:

[Esprit09]

hidden antenna?? where? please expalin :)

I'll take pics of where I mounted it tommrow for ya.

[JdmRevelations]

gotta do that auto to Man conversion...

[Esprit09]

Not sure if i wanna, considering the engine already has 140,000 on it, and im not sure if I would have the time to.

[Esprit09]

Here she is getting painted using this:


All taped up






Final Product



And the "hidden" antenna



Cleaning the engine bay, before






And after





I kinda rushed and didnt get it as clean as i wanted, and i still want to paint my valve cover and manifold heat shield also have my spoon reservior cover to slap on there. Is painting the valve cover as easy as it looks, just take out the plug wires and unbolting it?

Soon im gunna get some ngk plugs and wires. What i want this summer is have the hood re cleared, jdm corners and fogs, coilovers, exhaust, a sub and amp and little dynamat.

[JayNev]

what did you use to clean the bay?? lookin real nice

[Esprit09]

This zep 5000 stuff i got at work, since i work at a wholesale club i have a hudge bottle of it lol.

[red4]

my trim paint came out a lot more glossy than yours. i even used the same can of stuff. i used it on my sides and it looks almost like gloss black paint, lol. your engine bay looks good though man. :TU:

[JdmRevelations]

i need to do mine... well my front lip and side skirts...

[PooM_EJ2]

Awesome job dude, keep it up! :D

[GreedyGreddy]

Nice work Nice work, I hate how there are so many wires out in the open in the bay this isn't directed to your car about im generalizing. I wish they were cleaner

[Esprit09]

The mailman brought my Piaa extreme license plate bulbs today :TU: :TU: :TU:

[Dina]

[Esprit09]

Today my jdm fogs came in so I hooked them up:







Thats it for now, should have my exhaust in soon.
Man photobucket killllls the pic quality.

[socaly4life]

[G-rat]

[JdmRevelations]

[Dina]

[queso]

Coupe looks good. Needs a drop though.

[Esprit09]

Thats what im thinking about next because the front shocks are blown.

[Moe2005]

Nice coupe. It looks very clean :TU:

[Esprit09]

Well i have a bunch of parts sitting around waiting to go on but im not sure if i still want to keep the car. I found a integra for sale by me and really want to get it. Not sure yet, just getting tired of the slowness and most of all the auto trans.

http://hondamarketplace.com/zerothread?id=1582479 Heres the car.

[Esprit09]

Well i got the twin loop installed today, i would have pictures except my crank pully all of a sudden came loose so now its back in the shop. Anyone ever have this happen to them before?

[Mikey]

:ohsnap:

[PandaCoupe]

Nice looking car man. Looks like your making good progress on it. Keep up the good work :TU:

[Speedy]

[singlecamEJ8]

[JdmRevelations]

[Dina]

any updates on this

[Esprit09]

Yeah there are a few, got a couple new parts, need to post up some pics soon.

[Speedy]

Umm post pics of the rims you bag of shit.:ohsnap:

[Esprit09]

Calm down there speedy.

New rimzzzz :ohsnap:









:TU: or :TD: ???

[Speedy]

:TU: :TU: but it just screams "lower me you asshole", or something like that, and I won't be satisfied until it's the same height or lower then my hatch.

[lthl inj]

I like those si rims, looks very clean :TU: all the way.

[NtAcivG94]

rims are lookin good man...time to drop that bitch to the ground

[Speedy]

I had those rims for a day, i'm not kidding...it was that set:

[Esprit09]

Is that why theres slight camber wear on the front tires?

[Speedy]

That's funny, cause your insinuating that my car is really low and has a lot of negative camber...but no, I had them for maybe two hours, the slight wear is that the tires are 2 years old. The rim/tire package was bought brand new by Bill's brother last summer in June, he used them until Bill traded his slips for them in August. Bill and his bro aren't fans of big drops so the wear should be very slight.

[Esprit09]

Thats why i said slight, thanks for the history, hahaha.

[Mikey]

:TU: or :TD: ???

:TU: Mr gumchewer

[Esprit09]

Just did the injector wire relocation thing, looks cool. Real easy too, took about 10 mins.

[Esprit09]

New pics

[Speedy]

You whore!!!! I like your mini tuck, and those wheels would look 9999999999999999999999999999999 times better with a drop. Go buy some coilovers NOW.

[2coupes]

love the clear corners and fogs

[hondaholic]

[Mikey]

New pics



Why does my car look so small in this pic? lol

[Speedy]

Im waiting for bills coilovers.

[Speedy]

Im waiting for bills coilovers.


You make it sound like he's going to do something...ha Bill do something in a timely fashion...I laugh at you.

[Esprit09]

I did get the ep3's. So im hopefull on the gc's.

[red4]

i like the injector wires. are you sure that fuel rail won't get hot enough to burn the wires though? i'm skeptical of rerunning mine bcuz of the fuel rail. maybe its ok though.

[Esprit09]

Im not really sure, i mean theres that plastic around them, and it not right on the fuel rail itself except the last one. If you do it make sure your careful with the metal clips on teh injectors, they fly off real easy, i lost one of mine.

If I still had my extra springs lying around I would give them to you. They were Intrax springs that would dump your car, and they were cut on top of that.

[JdmRevelations]

corners look good and fogs too.. its like deja vu lookin at both of your cars...

[EJ1Rider]

heyyy looks good with my old rims

my coilovers are coming off, but you kinda have to take care of paying me back for the rims be4 you can get the coilovers :)

[Esprit09]

Got into an accident. That was the last thing i needed, theres too much going on with me now...school, work, alot of personal problems. I really didnt need this, i just wanna give up on the whole car thing.

[Esprit09]

[PandaCoupe]

Damn man that sucks :TD: What happened? And dont give up on it!

[Esprit09]

Rearended someone stopped in the middle of the road. Kinda wasnt paying attention, but they shouldnt of been there reguardless.

[Speedy]

Hmm cf hood sitting in my garage for cheap, i can maybe source a radiator support for you. ebay bumpers fo shoo.

[Esprit09]
