I'm posting my friend Dionne's EK (from Cali) to see and hear different opinions. Feel free to express your questions/comments/opinions! He has obviously spent a lot of time and money on it and the build time for it was 1.3 years. A couple of the newest pics are attached so they're at the end. Posting mods + pics:

[ATL_e92]

damn thats fucking sick!!!!! he did an amazing job to it

[Elbow]

Expressing my opinion...nice show car...but boring as fuck. Looks like everything off H-T and exactly what I'd expect from a fairly well paid west coast Honda owner.

[Vteckidd]

Nice color, horrible stance

[thecrazyone]

hate the stance, throws the whole car off, and blue rims eww

[csmiths]

Expressing my opinion...... STFU! You are a complete retard to say that this looks like every other honda on HT. Have you even been to HT lately? Or are you too busy with your race car websites? Seriously this looks nothing like the every day honda that is posted on HT. I understand that its your opinion and all, but you need to keep your damn opinions to yourself sometimes. Oh and BTW his wheels on the hatch cost more then your e30, which btw i used to see riding around lilburn where my parents live. Only expressing my opinion of course :cheers:

[raybuck]

QFT

[pr8yr]

damn!!! shiat!!! wtf!!!. The sickest hatch I have ever seen on my computer screen. The build year is obviously a shorter time than anyone else's. sick.

:screwy: :cheers:

[quickdodge®]

It seems to be very well put together, but I think it's ugly. Later, QD.

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

I don't know....I'm not feelin this for some reason...

[silverDA]

skys the limit for this car :hot:/

[SRK420a]

that shit spits hot fire man great car the only thing i disagree with is the psp steering wheel

But amazing car nonetheless:cheers:

[gen2freak]

something about it is throwing it off!

[BKgen®]

Meh.

To each his own, I guess.

[csmiths]

dont get me wrong, the car is well put together but its not my style. BUT i do have mad respect for that car because he made all the diffusers and shit himself.

[uproot]

looks pretty good kev, though some of the styling cues are a little too extreme for my taste. But it does look like thought was put into it, rather than just being thrown together, which is always a good thing.

[1990wade]

damn that is sick.......i wouldnt even drive that mofo just have it parked lol

[amandDA]

like it for the most part, but not feelin the wheel fitment in the back..

[tnomud]

Well done and clean..............not my taste, but executed well.

[Fast Shadow]

Needs more negative camber.

[Sol-Badguy]

Wheels and alignment are disgusting.

The rest of the car is awesome.

[Gabe]

i fucking love it

[collins]

Expressing my opinion...nice show car...but boring as fuck. Looks like everything off H-T and exactly what I'd expect from a fairly well paid west coast Honda owner. 90% agreed... havent been to HT in years, so i wouldnt know there.

yessir

are they wind tunnel tested? if not, then they may very well be hurting the car instead of helping. and if THATS the case, why even put it on there? to "look cool?" i dunno i'm not feelin it. at all.

[Genji-Sama]

Expressing my opinion...nice show car...but boring as fuck. Looks like everything off H-T and exactly what I'd expect from a fairly well paid west coast Honda owner.

Your a hater. Car is freakin sick. I would trade my sister for that bish:goodjob:

[csmiths]

Should read what is quoted right underneath this.



i disagree with your opinion.

To be honest i doubt that it has ever been wind tunnel tested. im sure it adds down force, but honestly he probably put it on there to be "cool" as you would say

[J-ROCK]

looks damn good in my opinion

[tdurr]

Expressing my opinion...nice show car...but boring as fuck. Looks like everything off H-T and exactly what I'd expect from a fairly well paid west coast Honda owner.


he is right sadly. If lots of HT guys had money this is what the outcome would be. I dont like the stance, or rim colors but it is put together 100% right.

[JITB]

i wish the colors were coordinated better.. I like it tho, it has some character to it..

[jdmdb8itr]

thats a sick ass ride, i wouldnt change anything but remove the chrome stars on it. but thats sick

[404 THE DC4]

*TWO THUMB UP*

[alpine_aw11]

He needs to make the rear wheels fit and it would look sooooooo much better.

Hondas generally bore me but it's a very well built car. Gotta respect the work put into it.

[quickdodge®]

it has some character to it..

Hmmm. I don't know. Later, QD.

[Seun]

Beside the wheels color/stance, Car looks great. what color is that, rsx BOM?

[On_Her_Face]

At least I don't have to drive it.

[KevinT707]

*whoops, accidental double post*

[KevinT707]

Nice to see so many opposing opinions.:D Before the B18C he was running a S/C D16. Planning on going K24 in the near future:goodjob:

[Brian*]

Sic fkin car.

[05IONREDLINE]

Well put together hatch. Don't like the vinyl graphics, the blue wheels and I live flush stances but that is a little over the top for me.

[chinitoxamor]

i like it, doesnt matter what anyone's opinion is if they hating, most would want their car to look like that, and most just hating cuz their car dont look like that, thats time, money, and dreams put into one car, how people do it out in CALI, props

[bowdown201]

are they wind tunnel tested? if not, then they may very well be hurting the car instead of helping. and if THATS the case, why even put it on there? to "look cool?" i dunno i'm not feelin it. at all.

LOL are you foreal? By looking at this car do you honestly think that its been wind tunnel tested? Or even look like its gonna go on a track and make actual USE for them? Lol wind tunnel tested...

Car doesnt look too bad. Not really diggin the rear camber too much but like what was stated earlier it looks well put together.

[On_Her_Face]

i like it, doesnt matter what anyone's opinion is if they hating, most would want their car to look like that, and most just hating cuz their car dont look like that, thats time, money, and dreams put into one car, how people do it out in CALI, props

Wrong.

[1989_crx_si]

Another Honda that runs 14 sec at the track. It's not a big deal. What's that in the trunk? If it's a cage then I hope he made it out of 2x4 cuz it won't function. Is that why there's no pictures of the trunk? Anyways car looks good but looks like a lowrider.

[2turbo4u]

Alot of time and money went into this ride for what? I don't like show cars because they don't do nothing, but show that I got more dollars into my ride than yours. then when he gets bored and tired of putting dough into it he gonna sell and get low balled to death for his baby. I will give him props for being crafty and shit.

[LokiSays]

Overall i like it.

[JdM_EJ2]

i dig it

[trini_gsr]

i like it other than the stance - it'd look better if it was sitting on those wheels properly

[Glides]

I love every bit of it, color, stance, everything. The reason why? It's not on Rotas, with a lip and springs. That guy thought outside the box. Well done.

Good reasoning my man :goodjob:

Added picture of the trunk.

Your comments are annoying. With your previous Integra (B20) which wasn't so easy on the eyes, you should definitely I understand the point. IIRC didn't your car have some 17"+ wheels + halo headlights? What do they do, make it "look cool"? Mmmk thanks

[BexSican 408]

I dk about the color of the wheels, and it may have a bit too much negative camber in the back, but the car was put together very well. The interior and engine bay are flawless IMO. The color of the car is cool as well.

[Dirty Octopus™]

Expressing my opinion...nice show car...but boring as fuck. Looks like everything off H-T and exactly what I'd expect from a fairly well paid west coast Honda owner.
kind of any oxymoron here. :(

Show cars arent typically "boring as fuck" if its boring then its not a show car :dunno:
and everything on H-T is not a show car. You should take another look at Hondas before stating such a nonsensical opinion. :o

I like the car and the work put in to it. but i dont like the color or the wheel color. but thats an opinion. Overall he did very well in building it. It would be a lot more memorable in a different color.

[5speed]

It is very well put together. I still find it hard to give Civics some love. Same old, same old.

[jadakid88]

word...but i also think the lip is aggressive enough for the rest of the of the ground effects...it almost looks as if he has no lip at all with how high its sitting compared to the diffusers and sidekirts
the car is well put together, i have mad respect for that car because he made all the diffusers and shit himself.
and sorry for butchering your post...:D

[jadakid88]

also i think the car look better in pic 4

[KevinT707]

This thread died quick. Folks just not feeling the Cali love ehh?

[Ch0psticks11]

that EK is SICK! very well put together and done right.......my only gripe is the stance, i think the tires are too big, but that's just my :2cents:

other than that.....great lookin car! :goodjob: +reps

[mocha latte cupcake]

SIGH.... west coast people.

Blue works... cute (over done)
Stance.... Think penguin on a hot plate
Color... :goodjob:
Stars on body and misc around car.... :doh:

over all workmanship 9.4/10

over all feeling about the car 8.3/10 could have been better.

[Echonova]

I like it. The blue wheels doesn't really flow well with the red seats IMO. But I can appreciate the work that went into it. Car wasn't put together out of a catalog.:goodjob:

[jmotley]

i love the color and the stance lol
:goodjob: nice ride

[Nerdsrock22]

i like it, doesnt matter what anyone's opinion is if they hating, most would want their car to look like that, and most just hating cuz their car dont look like that, thats time, money, and dreams put into one car, how people do it out in CALI, props

:rolleyes:

This car is just "meh" to me. I don't really see anything "original". He's just combining the Hellaflush ("crazy" stance"), Track Beast (diffusers everywhere), and the Tacky Drifter (chrome stars, crazy colors) trends. I fail to see a cohesive presentation.

That being said, the work all looks well done, so more power to him.

[JdM_EJ2]

is he goin to any meets? i wana see this in person

[Austin?]

camber look stupid

[Slow99coupe]

this car has came a long way since it was posted in super street readers rides:goodjob:....but the fitment is just pointless:no:

[chameleon30038]

love how clean the bay is.

[KevinT707]

is he goin to any meets? i wana see this in person
Yeah plenty of meets, in California..


love how clean the bay is.
Yeah the bay is super clean. I keep on telling him to stop babying that "show car" of his & probably leaving it in the garage all day/night cause no way would the undercarriage even be that clean.

[KevinT707]

Odd to see this thread stop so abruptly.

[Glides]

The funniest thing about this thread is that most of the people who don't like that car.......are all the peoples whose Civics look the same.

Woot!

[RUFFIAN]

the exicution is top notch but I'm not feeling the combo of the colors. i know opinions are just that so I can't talk sh!t. the car is gangster and obviously Pricey:goodjob:

[Franco Tirador]

that bay is sickooo

[Jason..]

I would agree %100 reps to you.
And fuck you Simon

[Got Milk?]

Looks good.

[carbongs]

i've never been a honda fan but this one is definitely unique. clean mods

[DunDunSkeert]

That car would get it...:cheers::boobies::goodjob:

[KevinT707]

Honestly I think this EK much more work + creativity than most if not ALL local Civics.
