oh hey, that front bumper looks familiar.. that would be a GP-1 i think?? anywho i technically have that bumper on my primer hatch, i chopped the lip off when i ditched the kit, too many potholes and possums and such running around the roads here
I was told it was an origin lab front bumper when I picked it up w/ the car.

oh ok, well good news i found my problem, my engine control fuse. i pulled it and everything worked just like it should, starter even clicked though there's no way the motor will. well, its just a matter of swapping motors now

Nice kit, you just need wider rims to fit the kit.

Found my digi camera, higher resolution pics incoming.

It rained today, but I had fun drifting every turn. Lol got way sideways around a riced out civic.

Nice looking ride, I have been considering painting my hatch with a flat black. Did you use the flat clear coat on it or just a flat paint ? Keep up the work. Can't wait to see the other pictures of this build when you upgrade your photobucket account !!!

pictures are back up

As an update I've been real busy so I havent had much time to work on my car but that will change in the coming weeks.

I accidentally got some overspray on my carbon fiber piece in my engine bay and had to clean that up with some reducer. Worked like a charm.



Then I did an oil change and topped off all my fluids.

So todays plan was to work on my front bumper but I ran into a totally different problem.

My drivers side seat broke where the bracket is. Straight broke where the welds are.



So today I spent the whole day prepping the dirty interior (it got disgusting as I took the seats out lol)



And now its all prepped and ready. I'm looking to try and get another seat like the passenger side, but we'll see.

Hopefully no one will take offense to this. BUT.

The only 2 S13 chassis cars I would want to own is this or white comets.

and probably mrgreeneyes.

And no. I have no idea why

Oh as an update I re-welded the seat so its fixed and back in. I'm waiting for some more money to come in and I'll continue the project with the following:

-weatherstripping (I have no idea how to put it all in atm)-new actuator (only thing I can think of as to why it wont make boost)-tint windows-fix bumper

I'll be able to do this on my next paycheck so I'll keep you guys updated.
