Nice progress so far.

The chick in his sig is Rachael Leigh Cook. The clip is from the movie 11:14. Don't get too excited, that bouncing is the best you get.

I actually love it flat black more than a regular black.

So me and my friends got to work again today.



This is after un-taping it.

that thing is looking good man, the subtle flat black and a nice kit

glad to see the project coming along. well, after touching almost every relay and fuse and such, i still cant seem to find why my 40 is staying in the 'on' position without the key in the ignition

i may just swap motors and then tow it to a shop and let them figure it out

I was gonna have a shop work on mine but then I had a friend who went to a shop and they had his car for 2 months and he got it back and it was slower than before. I only trust myself to work on my car haha.

yeah i feel ya, i won't hesitate to swap motors or suspension parts, or remove the dash to replace one little light, but i'm just stumped man

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.

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.
