yeah lmao. my friends and i all agreed that, i didnt look good in a teg unless it had a jdm front. we went to take a look at this white gsr with a jdm front today. MAN, it was just full of s**t. the pictures were heavily edited to make the paint look shinier and cleaner. when we first saw it from like 20 feet away pulling into the driveway of N1 concepts, it looked pretty good. And i think they or one of them owns the place. The shop is closed on sundays and they had access into the store.
After looking at a matte black engine bay that had ALOT of places that were showing the old milano red paint, i took it for a spin. It was really responsive and hella fun with lsd. couldnt get the full effect of the lsd since the turns were either too wide or a 90degree turn. grinded a little from 2nd to 3rd.
After the test drive i took another look at the paint. man, it was a piece of crap. I think they sprayed it themselves. The old paint wasnt sanded off, looks like it was 1 layer of color and maybe a layer of clear but probably not, it wasnt that shiny.
It had a lot of spots that were red, peeling, moldings got some overspray on them, some moldings were loose. rock chip in the windshield, more overspray, the interior looked like s**t except for the front and rear seats. otherwise literally all of the interior was s**t.
the only that it got going on was the security measures this guy put in it. relocated hood latch release, relocated door locks, hood sensor, clifford alarm.
and he's asking 5800 for a salvage title, 160k+ miles, shitty paint, nearly bald tires.

now for the ej6 hatch i saw today.
salvage title from auction
BAR'd
5 lug with cw ctr wheels
OEM white paint
01 gsr swap
no ac/ps
oem si lip and grill
02 si seats
type r rear seats but the rear is gutted out right now lmao.
didnt really get to look at it or test drive it but from the condition of the body, matching vins on all the panels, i'd pay the 6k he said he'd sell it for. He doesnt really know if he wants to sell it or not. But im trying to persuade him to sell it and buy stuff for his s2k he had parked in the garage next to the hatch.
btw, i knew this hatch was for sale back in may or something, but he ended up not selling it and stopped posting his add after a few days. I just pasted his house today and my friends and i stopped at his house when he was moving his accord and asked if he was still selling it.
i was willing to buy it from him on the spot lmao.

Ugh my civic got broken into, AGAIN. They took my cigarettes and like $2 in change. Didn't break the window or anything, just unlocked the door. The funny part is, they didn't even take all the change that was in my cup holder, they left me 45 cents lol.
sold the teg for 5400, friend is lending me 300 initially for the other teg i was supposed to buy and i pulled 100 out of my bank acc. He was the one that said "Son sell your s**t and get thiss". they had clean as pictures, looked like s**t in person though. so after a week of posting my ad, i sold it, looked at the teg and was like f**k. Theres 2 99 ej6s bar'd, 5 lug. one with clean and one with salvage title. the salvage title is a lot better imo because its still rocking the original paint. the clean title one has internal engine mods and cant be smogged, missing a hood, crack in the windshield, unpainted door jams, broken motor for the power windows.
clean title going for 5.5k http://www.hondamarketplace.com/showthread.php?t=2629342
salvage is 6k but not sure if he is willing to sell it.
the new one?yeah...
i want a mustang
lol it's the most important meal of the day! you totally need breakfast. I want pancakes for dinner....
good luck on the job!!!im trying to get a job down there so i had to go turn in some paperwork and then have m picture taken and give them a signature.
on the upside i saw an R8, RR Phantom, and an SLR McLaren Mercedeslol that mostly just made me depressed tho haha
what kinda position is it?Dude, Eric (civicon_on_air) bought a white teg that was red but painted white. He did a jdm front end conversion, the steering wheel was removable, he had the car painted championship white (but maaco or something crappy). Aftet getting pulled over too many times, he sold his car back in like...2006?
Maybe it's the same car....?! it used to be really clean inside.
thanks! its an EMT position im applying for.good luck on the job!!!
i had to go down there to turn in an application for an Orange County Ambulance Attendants License, just another way for the county to steal your money lol.
once the card comes in i gotta call the places i applied to and let them know i can interview, so ill find out whats going on in a couple weeks.
the interior looks hella shitty. panels were scratched up, ceiling cover was fuxored, only thing that was clean were the gsr leather seats.
what's almost there?
are we hanging out sometime soon you guys?
Matt and I have our new house....not done yet though. Also, our house is by sac raceway - maybe there is a fun saturday event we could go to, then hang out at the house.
november?

Really?! Your that close ? Hrmm! Ive been meaning to run my car haha. Im down. Whos gonna be the big cheese and start planning and grouping?
yes i do need more pictures, but i just barely finished putting the interior back in like an hour and a half ago. And I forgot to ground the amp since i moved it from behind the driver seat to the spare's location. Mirrors need to be wired before any paint lmao.
