Thats about it for now.. I'm pretty sure the civic is goin white... but I havent made my final decision just yet... and honeslty I really dont care what color it is.. as long as its not purple anymore.

I guess i'll throw in a few pics of my previous cars too... just cuz i'm bored...

u should shave the side molding while you're at it!

keep the updates coming! ooo u should paint it midori green or takata green

[I <3 my EF]

Looks like you know what you're doing.

[MikeyPrzy]

What happened to your 4dr 90 ex? EF's are godly, should have kept it :)

[Andy_013]

nice project car! what is the plan for it?

[nreggie454]

My only suggestion is that you remove the "LS1" stickers from your Z28. Other than that, good luck with the Civic.

[The Yousef]

wow....import and domestic wuv...

props!

btw:

sic z28... :goodjob:

[Ricer]

confusedkorean:
i've thought about shaving the moldings.. not sure if i wanna get that involved...

MikeyPrzy:
i wish i had kept the 4 door... i regret selling it... a lot...

99ExDriver:
After the color change i'm gonna make it my autocross toy. Had some ground control coilovers w/ koni yellows on my '99 Si and my '90 4 door... think i'm gonna go that route again. As for the motor.. i'm playin around with a junkyard turbo kit till the motor pukes.. then do a swap

nreggie454:
i'm not a fan of the "LS1" either... the previous owner thought it would be an awesome idea to put stickers on... airbrush over it.. and then clear over the sticker... so its a LOT more involved than just peeling them off... they would have been gone on day one if it was as easy as a sticker

[Repost Squintz]

can i have your ( ls1) motor and tranny ecu and drive shaft so i can put it in my 240? :D :D :D :D jk

[Ricer]

money talks :) car has less than 50,000 miles on it.. better be a good offer.. haha

[Mayniac]

With all those hondas, your screen name suites you quite well.

Nice Z28 tho.

haha... in Michigan I was the only honda rollin with all of my V8 friends... so the name just kinda stuck.. all 4 years of college... people i had known for years would hear someone call me by my real name and be like... "wait.. your name is Bryan?"

[81911SC]

[Stormhammer]

why not just go ahead and sand it and color match and have it done..it shouldnt cost no more than $200

[k20siboii]

nice cars man welcome to IA

[Meso Teggy]

i like the si and the '90 ex

You gotta be careful tacking it on though because the heat can warp the thin door skins. Grind down the welld and lay on some filler over the new strip then spend a few hours sanding it all down.

If you're putting on a turbo I doubt it will do well in Auto-X, you'll HAVE to put an LSD in it or it definitely won't ever get traction coming out of a turn.

nice z28...good to see u got a gas save honda beater.

[Ricer]

why not just go ahead and sand it and color match and have it done..it shouldnt cost no more than $200

a few reasons actually... its too close to the door to do a proper blend on just that pannel.. i'd have to burn into the door... plus its silver and has a heavy metallic.. so it'll never really match up as well as it does now.. and i'm not ok with that.. trust me i've gone over this **** in my head many many many times.. and its just not worth all of the extra effort for a little sticker

I know what is involved in shaving it.. but thats too much work for something that doesnt look all that much better than stock.. i'd rather just put the molding back on and not risk warping the metal

as for the autocross.. it'll do just fine with a turbo and open diff... just cant go with a big top end turbo.. gotta go with a much smaller unit with a quick spool. i co-drove my friends open diff turbo GSR in michigan for three years in autocross with no problems.. its all just for fun anyways :cheers:

thanks man... the borla cat back with mac midlength headers and y-pipe was definily a good choice... i have a HUGE exhaust leak that is pissing me off tho.. but living in an apartment makes working on your car really hard... 'specially when they yell at you for just changing your oil..


Were do you work?

I work at Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes on highway 34 by Thomas Crossroads
