Fall's upon Colorado

[PhntmSk8r]

Well fall is rolling around, and im having a hard time finding time to get good pictures, but here are a few ive taken over the past week or so.

I have a harness bar and buddy club spec 2 exhaust on order.

Also going to sand down the interior floor panel (trunk area, and the area under the rear seats/panels) and spray them to color match the exterior of my car so i can strip my seat out and not have to worry about it looking funny with silver/sound deadening all over it.

Here are the pics:

Heres pics of the harness bar, I've since removed the 2 outer Corsport stickers, and the DG Industires sticker on the front, the DG one was on it initially, i added the 3 corsport so i could get an idea on if i wanted to keep the middle one, or the outer 2, i chose to keep the middle one.

Let me know what you think. Ill get more pics later today, when the suns up.

Comments welcome.

looks good man. are you planning on getting a front lip?

 

[SickEk]

might be a dumb question but what did you do to those taillights. i like the look of them.

 

[PhntmSk8r]

front lip will come with spring time im sure, i wont be driving my car at all once the first snow hits the denver area. Getting the trans rebuilt this winter.

Tail lights are simply red-out.

Not bad at all man...! Looks great..!

 

[Partizan]

i need to see some footage of the beast in action H22 is my dream right now

nice nice. Even thought the tails are just redded out, they still look pretty unique, just because Ive never seen them.

Thanks for the comments!

I also forgot to add, i got my DC header installed, and it made a fair difference. I also like the red out look, i just took my spare set of 96-98 tails and some transparent red, the outer sections have been wet sanded, however, the inner sections (deck lid pieces) have not. Thats why they arent as shiney. They're still only half finished, i havent had time to finish wet sanding them, and clear coat, followed by more wet sanding.

Keep in mind this vid was recorded at 6500ft in elevation and sorry it was so dark.

If you watch carefully you can see the needle, it was a little hard to steer, shift, hold the camera, and watch the road lol but it came out alright, decent run.

Its 1st-3rd, with a touch of 4th at the end, about 5mph-100mph. It hung bumper/bumper with a 14.8 gutted as f**k, gsr swapped, crx. (yes i know it was 14.8, he showed me his time slips)

the one thing that stands out to me is that i think it would help the appearance to add a front lip. i'd get something simple like an OEM Si lip.

How far from Denver are you? whats the weather like?

Reset your SRS light boy (or pull the bulb since you don't have factory belts I think).

Other than that, its good. Not too much a fan of the hood tilt. Some mirrors would set it off nicely. But definetly a lot of hard work put into this car

srs light cannot be reset, i have a quick release, plus i dont have OE seats, etc. etc.

I'll pull it sometime this winter, i just havent got around to doing it, it doesnt bother me too much anymore.

My hood tilt is there because a radiator fan wont fit So it helps in traffic during the summer, i can see the heat vapors rising out of it, so im happy with it.

I plan to do a few little appearence things this winter, along with a trans rebuild.

sweet car id hit it....

Put your hood down Dammit!.. Out of all the jdm things i think that one has to be the dumbest

mines for a functional purpose, i didnt bother doing it until i started having over-heating issues while sitting in traffic, so i gave it a whirl, my over-heat times went from 5-10 minutes of sitting with the heater at full blast, to roughly 15-20 minutes with the heater on full blast.... i think its worth it if it saves my head/block in the long run lol.

If you wanna be techincal, its not even a JDM thing, the hot rod guys started it in the 50's, it was commonly known as a "sprung hood"

Heres a link with full mod list, etc. etc.

damn! i like the colors!!!

Good thing to do is take out the hood prop SCC proved that it actually decreases HP. But car is clean as hell and can't wait to see it with the lip.

like i said, mine has to be done, i dont have a radiator fan. I guess some people just cant grasp that idea. Sorry, it has to stay
