Out with the old...in with the new

[gtikid]

Well I decided I wanted to go in another direction, and boost wasn't in the future like I had originally planned, so I decided to part out and sell the hatch :cry:

Here she was the DAY I got her, which was like sometime in July of 07

Then I put on those blue wheels that i've had FOREVER!! And pulled the motor immediately and swapped in my GSR

I got tired of the JMAGS and was curious as to how 16's would look on my car, so my cousin and I traded wheels for all of a day :yes:

He liked the way the JMAGS looked on his eg, I liked the way the JMAGS looked on his eg, so I decided to trade him. Plus, on the very same day, I got a badass deal on the wheels I really wanted, and ended up selling the C8's after having them for only a day :lmao: And I purchased these

Enkei Racing S....taking these wheels apart was a bitch!! 160 bolts to remove/polish/reinstall, 3 hours polishing EACH lip, plus paint :no: I had blisters on my fingers for WEEKS!!

I had to roll around on these damn blue wheels again temporarily for the time being until I got my Racing S done :(

But the time came, and I had to part everything out. Couldn't do the no a/c thing anymore, and I didn't want a boosted car as my DD....so I had to replace her with...

9k RPM + A/C FTW :D Mods are already on their way, see you guys soon :yes:

[Maniacc]

Even after all the HDR effects on your Honda 2000 pictures, they still look like crap. LOL

[Ol' Gregg]

OMG OMG OMG OMG YOU REALLY DID IT!!! congrates man! your rolling dope fresh now! cant wait to see her!

[gtikid]

Even after all the HDR effects on your Honda 2000 pictures, they still look like crap. LOL

Maaaaaaaaaaaan there aren't any HDR effects at all foo!! It's just a little bit of PS :D Don't be mad that an s2k with intake and exhaust kept up to your WRX with an STI turbo!! :lmfao:

:D

[gtikid]

OMG OMG OMG OMG YOU REALLY DID IT!!! congrates man! your rolling dope fresh now! cant wait to see her!

Preciate it homie! I'm nowhere NEAR fresh yet! I got a whole new canvas to get started with :D I'll get started on this one soon enough fa sho :yes:

Lazy IA folks....


Loved the hatch ... sad to see it go. But I bet the S2 will be even better :D

[EJ_Allmota]

good pickup homie.. A stock AP1 looks soo boring, get on those mods asap.. J/P do it once do it right homie, quality parts all the way.. I'll be waiting to see what develops..

[Z33_kid]

Homie you already know! Tell me about it looking boring man haha. I already got my lip at home, but I don't wanna throw it on until I get my suspension. I have the money right now for my suspension AND some wheels.....buuuuut I'm trying to pay off some credit cards first. It's sooooo hard not putting that money towards mods though, but it's something I gotta do.

But that still won't stop me from picking up some good deals :D

[ShooterMcGavin]

[ShooterMcGavin]

so did you part the civic out or sell it as is?

[Random Hero]

Wow...props to you for making such a nice, detailed thread about your hatch and what's taken it's place.

I've met you a few times (late night ride to jack in the box in IA in the backseat of Gregg's car - LOL), and seen your hatch in person as well. It was one of the nicest around no doubt (and I'm not even that big of a Honda fan anymore).

But, with all that said, I'm the the S will be looking just as fresh if not more so than the hatch.

Keep up the good work and keep us all updated. ;)

[TonyRSX]

man i was wondering when you were gonna put up pics of the S...**** man i cant wait to get mine...looking for an AP2 with low miles, under $20k, and either in white or black...lol im picky...but man as soon as i find one im picking it up...but so far no luck =( the ones i did find the d*mn dealers wouldn't work on the price with me...basically told me no to my offer and didn't even offer a counter-offer lol...guess i just gotta be patient...

i'll be rollin with ya one of these days...hopefully soon ahaha

congrats man

[The Youngn]

but so far no luck =( the ones i did find the d*mn dealers wouldn't work on the price with me...basically told me no to my offer and didn't even offer a counter-offer lol...guess i just gotta be patient...

[404 THE DC4]

[Ran]

Hah, i'm back down to Ju the stockness, homie haha...that'll all change with time :ninja:


You have good taste bro, can't wait to see the s2k done!! Congrats**

Thanks man. I'm with ya on that, I can't wait to see this car done either. But i'm debating whether I wanna be in debt now or later :lmfao:


Good Hand-offand I'msure you will make it look sweet.

That's what I'm hoping for


so you got rid of one ricebucket for another? :gay: lolol, j/k man! congrats on the new ride :D

so did you part the civic out or sell it as is?

Buahaha there's nothing gay about letting my hair blow in the wind :lmao: I ended up parting the car out. Sold the wheels, motor, and shell all separate. I still have a bunch of turbo parts that I haven't been able to sell though :( And NO, they aren't going on the s2000! :D

Of course I remember you man! That whole weekend was a blast! I still have the pictures of the broke ass cooler that we used the whole weekend haha. Thanks for the kind words man. Hopefully I'll be able to have the same effect on you with the S :goodjob: It'll be hard keeping up with Jay though haha. He's on a whole other level

[TonyRSX]

doing that crazy asian bargaining huh:lmfao::lmfao:

yea....sh*t man its not like i go down that much...i basically just go down like 1-2 grand as my starting point...they look at me and tell me thats impossible...i sit and wait for a counter-offer...nothing...so i tell them peace out and get up and leave...they don't even take down my name and number or any kinda information...maybe its just the small dealerships or its just hard as hell to go down in price on used cars...i dunno... :thinking:

[TonyRSX]

Ey man, your girl is more than welcome to come ride me....I mean ride with me any day until you get yours hahaha :lmfao: Good luck homie! Lemme know when you get yours

I would, but RPF1s on an s2k are sooooo common, it's like seeing Rota's on a Civic. But thanks for the offer man. I have some other wheels in mind :yes:

[merfwin]
