QwikXRs '96 CX HB "C'muter"

[tienr]

meh, for some reason i'm not feeling it....too much red, that don't exactly match.....i think the red carpet will throw it off even more....if i were you i would've gotten front and rear seast in black with red stitching(type r), then the red carpeting would look pretty sweet, but maybe the black floormats will loosen it up a bit.....you're car is coming along though

Ehh, I hear ya.. it's all about personal preference, of course.. Here's kinda what I'm after:

Who knows, I may get it installed, and not like it.. Wouldnt be the first time I've bought something, not liked it, and yanked it! ;P
TypeR seats are nice, but a little too rich for me.. I picked the Sparcos up right. The color is very close with everything else, the pic makes it look otherwise.

Thanks! diggin your hatch, man!

I like the seats because Ive actually sat in one, they feel good.. I really dont like the steering wheel though..

 

[Jezek]

Man, I used to dream about owning those seats back in the day....wayyyyyyyyy back lol

Anyway, I agree....about the red situation. I think it's the wheel man, it makes the interior look "cheap"

maybe get an oem wheel or an all leather/black wheel?

 

[qwikxr]

well, my boy is going to Germany in two weeks, for two weeks.. He's gonna try to snag me an EDM steering wheel..

Ive got my oem airbag wheel, still.. who knows.. hell, I never know what I'll do..

 

[Quebec_Civic]

who knows maybe il buy that wheel from you if you sell it


Edit.. wait my bad.. i was looking at the last pic you posted.. of the other interior! lol ...


how much you selling the GSR seats for?

 

[qwikxr]

Hey, QC.. Im not selling the seats for enough to justify shipping them across the border
Yeah, if i had the steering wheel in the last pic, I'd be keepin that, for sure!

UPDATES:
Ok, replaced the steering wheel (since so many thought the other one was poopy) with a Sparco leather/suede one. I actually like the positioning of the Sparco one better, as it places the wheel closer to me.

I have a modded B18C1, Blox ported intake, overbored throttlebody, chipped P72, TypeR shiftknob, two GSR transmissions (one's a spare), rear discs, header, HKS exhaust, EGT, AFR gauges, CTR-style grill, OE Si front lip, Spoon-style mirrors, JDM thin side moldings, and a couple other items that will hopefully get installed this weekend, if I can dodge the 'honey-do' list that my wife is carrying around

Lower the car.ASAP

just because it isnt rolling up asphalt and busting my spleen open when I run over a cricket, doesnt mean it isnt lowered, dumbass.

it's dropped about 1.5 or so with Suspension Techniques Speedtechs..

wow I must be a dumbass because it look like a big wheeler running on monster tires. LOWER IT MORE a-hole

 

[qwikxr]

Send me some money to pay for your suspension of choice, and include enough to raise the suspension pickup points, so that the geometry remains functional, and I'll be glad to lower it until the front lip digs up earthworms. Else, it's lowered enough for me.

Don't get me wrong, s**t looks good squashed to the ground, but I already snag dead squirrels if I have to pass over one..
And I'm no stranger to hammering suspension as low as possible, but again, this is a 130mi/day commuter. Cheers and Beers, man.

I start the hatch's heart transplant tomorrow

Actually, I've got two swaps to do tomorrow, as well as replace my friend's axles in his turbo GSR.. Gonna be busy busy busy!

Pics will arrive, maybe tomorrow night..

See, I start a new job tomorrow, and in the pricess, it knocks off about 100miles/day from my commute! 8)

That allows for hatch growth
