My EJ8; my slow build.

[crash!]

I dunno why people hype up RHD so much. All it does is flag your car for thieves. I've driven two RHD vehicles, a RHD CTR replica (legit RHD hatch converted to a CTR), and a RHD R32 Skyline. It was weird, but not something I'd go out of my way to do. Also, holy insurance rate, Batman.

Yeah I drove an R32 also. It's nothing to freak out about.

This one was built by a dude who owned a shop in Orange County years ago (HookUps), and he was part of a crew called DrifTech (I think that was the name). It was pretty nice. I don't know the horsepower it made (he was making claims that my butt dyno didn't agree with.. dude claimed 650whp, I felt more like 400whp). I wouldn't have spent the boatload of money he did on the car myself, but to each their own I guess.

you still own a civic? i would have thought you'd sell it for horse money by now.

Nope. The coupe is here to stay.

that's what it's called! lol

It's like having a lifted truck on bling bling rims. It serves no real purpose, and makes your car stand out ten times more (not always good).

gets you noticed by other guys

There is nothing great about which side the steering is on.. its just something that you get accustomed to. I've driven countless number of RHD cars seeing that I'm from Jamaica and the cars there are RHD (we drive on the left) .... really.. i dont understand that fad of dumping the money and time just to be a bit closer to how the japanese made them over there..



Alex...when i saw this i remebered u...

Have you considered getting an Sii lip fitted with a wrx front splitter?

 

[TigBitties]

Haters...

They just aren't like us

 

[mymmeryloss]

That red civic looks terrible

That red civic looks terrible

[ChaddiBJ8]

Spoon lip would look nice tho..

 

[mymmeryloss]

BYS with intercooler looks sick imo. You are still going turbo right? I haven't stayed updates on this.

What year wrx is that front splitter from? That looks slick as f***

04-07 STI V lip replicas sell for less than a 100 bucks

Did someone really just say projectors look horrific?? Shame on you. Proper retrofitted projectors look a trillion times better than stock headlights any day.

And that splitter looks really dope. If only I was lower I'd do it. I think it'd look goofy on a not-as-low car.
