    Thumbs up New to the site.. few pics of my daily and my new project

    Whats up... new to the site.. just moved to the Newnan/Peachtree City area in August... thought I'd post a few pictures of my cars

    my '99 Z28 (daily driver for now)




    My new project - '93 Civic DX... currently becoming not purple

    when i bought it:



    New bumpers/hood:



    Interior stripped for complete color change:



    Started workin on the dents/dings today:










    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...

    My '99 Si:




    My '90 EX 4 door:



    My '91 Audi 200 20v Turbo Quattro (this thing was a flippin beast):

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

    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

    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

    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.
    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

    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..
