You need to learn what things actually go together, and when something becomes just too much in excess... more then often, 99 out of 100 cars that are "cool" are "cool" because they follow the K.I.S.S. rule hondatool 02-15-2002, 12:01 AM here's my baby[URL=http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/271634mycar.jpg] hondatool 02-15-2002, 12:02 AM damn...it didnt work!!!!!! can someone help me out!!! hondatool 02-15-2002, 12:04 AM ....ok...i hope this works!!!http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/271634mycar.jpg CivicLx 02-15-2002, 12:24 AM Nice ride hondatool.

I'm plannin on giving her about a 2.5 to 3 inch drop thats a bit extreme woudlnt you say? when i had my civic (in the pic i posted) that was dropped with sportlines and i think it was perfect to slightly to low and that was 1.8 inch drop. not to mention the camber was screwed, so a 2.5 - 3 inch drop is gonna have some horrible camber issues not to mention maybe even premature driveshaft failures from the extreme angle the shafts will be entering the spindle. but hey its your ride. oh not to mention you'll probably bottom out on every thing and end up ripping your oil pan off. and also most conventional struts will not be able to take lowering that much, even the ever so acclaimed koni yellows. j.fuggi 02-17-2002, 08:10 AM so neuspeed race springs and tokico illumina 5ways will do what to my car? if its gonna cause failure i'm on my way to get neuspeed coilovers. ric 02-17-2002, 12:39 PM Originally posted by j.fuggi so neuspeed race springs and tokico illumina 5ways will do what to my car? if its gonna cause failure i'm on my way to get neuspeed coilovers. what do you mean? neuspeed races are like 1.8 or 9 right? lowering starts causing a problem in the extreme class around 2.5+ inches of drop. camber kits only fix the alignment of the wheel but when the car is stationary you will see the strut piston is still 2.5 inches or more compressed into the strut body (short body struts wikll help). and the lower control arm is sitting at an angle its not used to. not to mention there may be a small tension on the ball joint. people think you slam your car on springs, put on a camber kit and your done. i doesnt work that way. the every aspect of suspension geometery is changed and needs to be corrected. and if you,ve lowered your car that low and havent had a problem.....wait. because it is coming. you may be ok now but its not a matter of if it happens, its a matter of when it happens. 1995HondaCivic 02-18-2002, 03:57 AM i would post new pictures of mine, but the post image option doesnt seem to be working. :( j.fuggi 02-18-2002, 02:28 PM Originally posted by i like naked girls what do you mean? neuspeed races are like 1.8 or 9 right? lowering starts causing a problem in the extreme class around 2.5+ inches of drop. camber kits only fix the alignment of the wheel but when the car is stationary you will see the strut piston is still 2.5 inches or more compressed into the strut body (short body struts wikll help). and the lower control arm is sitting at an angle its not used to. not to mention there may be a small tension on the ball joint. people think you slam your car on springs, put on a camber kit and your done. i doesnt work that way. the every aspect of suspension geometery is changed and needs to be corrected. and if you,ve lowered your car that low and havent had a problem.....wait. because it is coming. you may be ok now but its not a matter of if it happens, its a matter of when it happens. well modacar.com lists the neuspeed race's to give a 2.25" drop. i dont believe it, but my shits pretty low. ric 02-18-2002, 05:29 PM it may or may not bro. youve got to figure the lower you go the more your suspension geometery is changed no matter what. a camber kit is only going to move the top of the wheel outward by extending the upper control arm length. but you are still going to have 2.25" worth of altered suspension load distribution going into the radius rods, ball joint, wheel bearing, tie rod+ends, and the axle input. that cant be helpfull. kris 02-18-2002, 05:35 PM Originally posted by 1995HondaCivic i would post new pictures of mine, but the post image option doesnt seem to be working. :( Look in the top left of thie window.

The interior was completely destroyed, the exterior was falling apart, rusting and in really bad condition, and the motor was blown. So after I got it my fiance and I completely tore the whole thing apart stripping it of everything! Then the car went to go get a motor swap so we took it to my friend Richie and him, my fiance and I did the motor swap. Then another friend of mine does bodywork so then the car went to his house where we worked on it every weekend for 9 months! I helped with the bodywork by tapping, sanding, taking apart the car (i.e. doors, windows, trunk, hood), I helped him mold my bodykit on then sanded that down, and I helped him tape up the flames. I didn't want to do to much because I was afraid I would screw up. Then other than those two things I have either done it myself or with the help of my fiance. I have gotten most of my parts from either D&G Kustoms or Autothority. I hope this answers all the questions. Oh and about the neon lights I am not to much into it especially because it is so illegal here. I do want to put some into my trunk to accent my sound system. And thanks for all the compliments.

But i am impressed with your knowledge about your car. Congrats. Major props there. Shit, I wish my dad would give me money! My dad would not give me $10 if I ran out of gas on the side of the road and neither would my mom!! So I wouldn't assume anything if I were you. That whole car was paid for by ME!!!!!! I have a nice job and not to many bills! I also work my ass off at work. So I really think you owe me an apology for that one! I have a friend who has a bad ass car and his dad paid for it all and he does not respect it at all, and well that is not the case with me. That car is like my baby I created it and I pay for it!! So let me guess because I am a girl you automatically assume that my parents pay for it, you are sooo wrong! Also, if you don't believe that I could have paid for it myself then explain why I go to settlement next Friday on a house that I had built just for me!! And you would feel real shitty if I told you that my Dad has passed so I would watch who you say stuff too like that because you may really hurt someones feelings one day. iLLuCiv99 02-19-2002, 04:19 PM nice move slick! lol j/k :) igo4bmx 02-19-2002, 04:26 PM Originally posted by SublimeLAD nice ride elite.... oh yeah and james, i wouldn't automatically assume that it's daddy's $$$.

SublimeLAD 02-19-2002, 05:22 PM hell yeah man!!! Hey GRLRACER, any time you wanna drive down to Ohio and give me a ride in your that, I'm all about it!!..(no sexual reference at all i swear!)

Sure but I will wait till it gets warm outside first.:cool: By the way, thanks for sticking up for me in the beginning!:) SublimeLAD 02-19-2002, 05:36 PM hmmm, maybe i should learn how to type....lol yeah, anytime...i just hate it when people automatically think that someone's parent's paid for their car....i guess that's one of my pet peeves... I see you did the b16a conversion....where did you get your engine from, I think that is gonna be my next mod. I've thought of ordering it online or just goin to a salvage yard...

I just wanted to make sure that you were talking about my car, ha ha! Yeah it is one thing to KNOW that someones parent paid for their car and then to get on them then. But it is another to ASSUME that someones parent did it for them. He knew he was going to get it before he even said anything. It is definently a pet peeve for me too! Actually I would have to say ASSUMING is a pet peeve for me! igo4bmx 02-19-2002, 06:22 PM Originally posted by GRLRACR I just wanted to make sure that you were talking about my car, ha ha!

And i guess i assume ( yes i assumed) that things were the same with you. I think its because I havent seen any girls in this part that have the knowledge you do about cars and actually put it to use the way you have. I must admit you car is VERY nice. In fact I envy it. It's good that you did your car yourself. I'm still trying to save up the money to buy my civic. I just have a lot of bills because my dad is tha same way your dad is from you have said. The last time my dad wanted to give me money was like 6 years ago, he wanted me to wash his car for him. So i asked him how much would he pay me and he told me 1 dollar. Needless to say i laughed in his face and went back to playing video games. LOL But now i am in college, working, and studying at the same time. Its hard cause I have a gazillion things i have to pay for and dang it, I WANT MY CIVIC! Oh well. It will come in time. I'm thinking about just demolishing my car now just to get a civic. How sad is that? lol Anyway. Sorry about the comment. I'm on my knees begging for forgiveness. I'm really not a prick. I promise. :p Killa_CRX 02-20-2002, 09:39 AM Originally posted by CivicSiRacer Can you find Waldo? :) http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid3/p09b7e51146c070a4265833166588199e/fdec50a5.jpg 4th from the front, right? :bloated: Badass car man!

I know what you mean about coming from a neighborhood that the parents pay for it all because that is exactly how it is here! But I am not one of them. Last time my dad gave me money I think I was about 12 and it took me about 30 minutes to convince him to give me $10 to go get pizza and go to the movies but, by then it was too late and my friends left without me. He told me I should just get a job but I think I was a little to young. Don't get me wrong I love my dad and he is a very nice guy but VERY VERY greedy with his money. Anyways, thanks for the compliments about my knowledge and about my car. I get alot of assuming when it comes to my car like for example "your boyfriend did it all didn't he?" "Your parents paid for that" "You paid for someone to do all that to your car, and you had no involvement" "Girls can't drive" "Girls can't race" And my favorite one "Girls can't have nice cars, so whose is it" (I just say read the fucking license plate moron!) Well anyways, thanks for the apology and best of luck getting your civic.

I only ever ask questions about the car :( The only irritating questions I might ask someone would be... "What's under the hood?" "Oh PRETTY, Where'd you get that?" and "Can I drive it?" Or things like that... Gender or parents mean nothing to me... Guess cause my parents never paid for anything I have (I've been working since I was 8 years old) BadAss sounding car GRLRACR... Much props... would love to see some pictures.

Since I don't let anyone drive it I would have to say no, but you could ride in it, but since you live in Texas that would be a far drive to just ride in my car. shorthand 02-20-2002, 11:36 AM SiRacer - I hope the blue tape is just a road racing thing. As for the women and cars thing - its only cultural. There is a couple in my local SCCA chapter. Generally, she'll beat him by a decent margin (same car). In fact, she won the BSL class at the Solo II nationals (and turned in a better time than her husband). Killa_CRX - I'm always taken a little aback by people who hesitate to show up at an autocross event. Its SUPPOSED to be come as you are, daily driver racing. There are very few if any large egos in most chapters. Just go do it. All you have to bring is you, your car, and perhaps $20 for most clubs. Killa, There is an East Texas Sports Car Club (http://www.etscc.org/), however I don't think they run their own events. The Aggies (http://tamscc.tamu.edu/) have an aggressive SCCA chapter. While I'm not overly impressed with their novice training, they have a great facility and should be within a two hour drive of Corsicana. They usually start late (10 am), so its a very doable drive. I've made it from Austin a couple times, and their certainly a nice bunch of guys. I've never been to a Houston (http://www.houscca.com/) event, but I hear they rock. They also have a driving school coming up, but I'll bet its booked. The Metroplex-area chapter is Equipe Rapide (http://autocross.com/er/). However, they race waaaay out in Mineral Wells, so that may put it as far away for you as the Aggies. Finally, we'd be glad to see you down here in Austin (http://www.spokes.org), but I realize its a bit of a drive. igo4bmx 02-20-2002, 12:03 PM grlracer... if i'm ever in maryland can i come by and take nice photos of your car?

I like taking pictures of hot rides.. where did you get that color by the way? Sure no problem. Well the guy who painted it, him and I sat down one night and tried to figure out what color to paint it and we had a whole bunch of different colors picked out but they were the same old ones you see all the time, so we came across this color but it was a little darker and he started playing with it and got it to come out lighter. But the actual color comes from a suv that was out in the early 1980's. There is one where I live, it is not in good condition at all and of course the color is a little darker. But that is the story to the color. Killa_CRX 02-20-2002, 12:53 PM Originally posted by shorthand SiRacer - I hope the blue tape is just a road racing thing. As for the women and cars thing - its only cultural. There is a couple in my local SCCA chapter. Generally, she'll beat him by a decent margin (same car). In fact, she won the BSL class at the Solo II nationals (and turned in a better time than her husband). Killa_CRX - I'm always taken a little aback by people who hesitate to show up at an autocross event. Its SUPPOSED to be come as you are, daily driver racing. There are very few if any large egos in most chapters. Just go do it. All you have to bring is you, your car, and perhaps $20 for most clubs. Killa, There is an East Texas Sports Car Club (http://www.etscc.org/), however I don't think they run their own events. The Aggies (http://tamscc.tamu.edu/) have an aggressive SCCA chapter. While I'm not overly impressed with their novice training, they have a great facility and should be within a two hour drive of Corsicana. They usually start late (10 am), so its a very doable drive. I've made it from Austin a couple times, and their certainly a nice bunch of guys. I've never been to a Houston (http://www.houscca.com/) event, but I hear they rock.

I've got to spend a few months at my new job though until I get in good there (God I love that I'm going to be selling Hondas for a living) but once I'm up to speed there and have some time on my hands to go to events I'll probably be going all around. And I do want to get a little work done on my car before even showing my face anywhere... a nice sounding exhaust, some rims (Racing Hart CP-035), lower it a little... But if I'm anywhere near as good at selling cars professionally as I have been at talking my friends into buying hondas, the money to do my mods should be too far away, and you'll see my green wonder rounding the tracks again and again.

They tape it up so that if they get into a little fender bender and the glass breaks they don't have to get a whole crew out there to clean it up. Another reason is so that rocks don't chip them ;) Hope I'm right on this one :) Anyway let me get it back on topic: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid28/p5e274cc11de548fb6b6316d89e1aaea0/fe0332c8.jpg igo4bmx 02-20-2002, 04:59 PM Originally posted by EX R8ED I'm 110% sure it is :) I'll explain it for him cuz I'm bored.
