hell of a first thread, welcome and nice work so far
lol, ya sorry. ive been working on the car for 3 months now and didnt think to post it here. i have a motorcycle and i post alot on the honda cbr forums but never with cars. (well never had a tuner car) and i was reading up some a/c and p/s tubro set ups and someone had a link to there build and i was like i wanna do that too. this forum is alot like the cbr forum, so it was not to hard.
with that, here some pics of the 2 bikes i had. (sold them for my baby. lol a real baby, a girl) and also a pic of my last car before and after the crush. (ive had 3 of the same car.... 02 lincoln lse, 04 lincoln ls, and then other 02 lincoln lse again all crushed)
and what the hell... a pic of my baby..
06 Honda Cbr 600rr 117 whp tuned
09 Honda Cbr 1000rr 183 whp Tuned
Last 02 Lincoln LSE whoknow whp not tuned. (lol, i did have fip down sreeens, nice sound, and etc.)
thanks alot with the nice ride part. just about all my honda friend where i live are big into the jdm look and hate my car. not that i dont like the jdm thing..... just i think i like this alittle better. (sorry to u jdm people, much love to u!!)
i like them alot. but what i didnt like is that they are not very dark. the front and rear come smoked, but the back come not too smoked. but they are nice at night. am going to take some night pic to show the hids, leds, and the led on the bottom of car. thanks man.
