DriftBoy07's Build Thread

[mRodiek]

nah im not pushin it i just wanna make sure i know what im gettin into loli know its gonna be a ***** to do the clutch & flywheel when the motor is in the car BUT like i said i needa have this thing runnin well before i sell my other car-then i can put in a spec flywheel & ACT clutch...plus Front mount then wheels & tires

[splintercell]

good luck with the build bro, please do not put them seats back in there. find you some s14 seats US OR JDM, they would look a whole lot nicer. scrap that hood too...Vader hoods are rice and every honda runs the same hood. this is just my opinion...just giving you some constructive criticism.

[mRodiek]

hahaha thanks man. yeah the seats are OUT-im gonna go to a couple junkyards around here n try to get something together, and the hood will stay unless i found a better one soon just due to lack of funds haha

i have a noob question as well! the pig nose front bumper came what year 240's? and what does it look like? this??

[splintercell]

89-90 and yours is not a pignose

[mRodiek]

thas what i thought.the previous owner said he took the bumper off mine [90] and put it on his DOHC....teh eff bomb!!!1!!!eleven!!er lolanyone know how much those run? lol

[splintercell]

I personally like the 91-93 bumpers better than 89-90. you can get some nice oem lips for your bumper too.

[mRodiek]

hmm mayybe...well see lol the body will prolly receive a good rattle can paint job with all the current body parts on itperformance > body hahaim always drivin a sleeper

[White Comet]

i'll trade you straight up my pignose bumper for your chuki bumper

[mRodiek]

hmmm. really tempting lol but im startin to like it-at first i was gonna look to swap it out but its growin on mesileighty eventually-if that happens youll be the first to know lol

[White Comet]

thats cool. it doesnt really matter to me though. im swapping on my kouki bumper eventually but for the time being i'll be rocking a stock bumper. i figured if u liked the pig nose better i'd hook you up

[mRodiek]

lol well thanks dude ive got a $hitload of parts i got with the car i think im gonna sell once i figure out whats good etc, i have extra headlights, headlight motors, 3A "racing seats" which i might sell to my friend with a civic silly honda owners loland some other misc stuff-all funding my projectbut your welcome to make donations too

[mRodiek]

searching for FMIC kits, most are like $900+ and i hear some people are gettin em for like $400anyone know where i can find a kit for around $400? my other option is get a core off of ebay and do the piping myself but if i can save myself the hassle then i will

[tEknoS13]

[tEknoS13]

yeah man we should do it next summer FOR SHO because my car will be running lol but im movin to california in the beginning of aug so its gotta be before that lol

lol gee, i wonder why

prolly because they realized how much more $$ they could make lol

[White Comet]

lol, its actually because they went bankrupt

[sr20deTsomeday118]

lol, its actually because they went bankrupt

[mRodiek]

really? how does that happen? lol

[sr20deTsomeday118]

people buying an equivalent product from a different company for a better price, its business my friend.

but ill let this explain

[mRodiek]

lol i figured as much, but what i meant was that i thought they were top of the line and how many other companies only charge $400 for an IC kit??

[tEknoS13]

hmm. when I hear greddy i still think they are top of the line. i got the greddy intake manifold, it sex.

"lol, its actually because they went bankrupt"

yea i heard of that a while ago didnt cross my mind though.

[mRodiek]
