So i deff need to get an electric buffer, it took me a total of about 6 hours to do everything. took about an hour to wash/soap the whole car and wheels, then another hour and a half to do use a clay bar on the whole car, then i was able to get about 1.5 hours of waxing in before i realized i had work so i drive my moms car to work, got home at 11 and started up waxing again at 12am, i finished waxing at 3am. I did it correctly this time with microfiber towels (it was 10x harder to get the wax off with these towels). So yeah tell me wat u think of it.








I need a new sticker...
















What am i doing wrong thats making me take so long to wax my car :shock:

Looks great, but I honestly don't really see the point in using a clay bar and what not and spending hours to wash my car unless it was a show car or something that never left the garage. About $3 at the spray wash and drying it off, putting a little tire shine on, an waxing it every so often does the job for me. Sorry if it seems like I'm bashing you, but more power to ya for putting that much time into detailing a car. And again, car is looking good man :thumbs up

i didnt do it but there is no muffler haha, its just a resonator at the back with a tip coming off the resonator. it creates a decently loud sound (could be louder for me, but i like it) without the ricey fart sound. so it makes a loud deep sound. works pretty well too. I also figured out that if u spray water into the rear resonator it makes things louder for some reason for a little while :P

yeah i gotta clean the molding up and the headlights. My plans right now are to get it in good running condition (gotta do a general tune up and all that stuff), then after that im going to save up for some skunk2 coilovers, then save up for some KYB AGX struts. after suspension ill do a DIY Si grill and then afte that im gonna save up for goin boos :cool: (hopefully i can save the money).

I really like it clean base to start a good project on it, get a clubcivic.com sticker, i'd say paint it blue, lower it and drop some rota's gt3's. Good luck with it!

my exhaust instead of a muffler has a resonator, so if u spray water into it, it makes the car louder for some odd reason O.o
