[quickdodge®]

IT NEEDS PAINT JOB!!!!

One step at a time.

what else you got planned?

This isn't mine and I can't divulge his plans. Mine is finishing up a heart transplant.

slam it and put rotas on it..........

Lolol and NO! Putting non-old school wheels on that car is like telling Jesus he wasn't invited to the Last Supper. Blasphemy.

are they pretty hard to find?

In good shape, yes. It took J 3 years to find this one.

Thanks for the compliments. Later, QD.

[AlliRae]

[Dirty Octopus™]

[.blank cd]

QD, way to let all these other guys know what "ol' school hondas" really are.

This isn't mine and I can't divulge his plans. Mine is finishing up a heart transplant.

Throw a B18C5 in that ho!

[Revmaynard]

Looks good, I can't wait to see the finished product.

[uproot]

looks good, what kind of suspension do these cars have? was the install/modification difficult?

[quickdodge®]

Ooooooooooooooo Weeeeeeeee!

MUCH better. thing is turning into a fresh mobile!

when you gonna slam yours Dizzle?

Yes it is. Mine is lower than his already.

what ya'll do to drop it?

Heheheh. I was wondering when that would come up, lolol. Mine and his both done the same way. Old school rides get old school treatment. Heated springs, homeboy. Later, QD.

thought so!
either that or cutting.

Yo! you still gotta tell me how you do it. what do you put the hubs on? or do you do it with the wheels on since they were so goll dern high!

[DB4LYFE ™]

old skool ftmfw! looks good man

[RutRoe]

looks killer... hope yours turn out as sweet as that one

[FasTech]

Looking good, nice car..... and it looks alot better with it lowered.... Heated springs? Did you just get a tourch and heat them? Not sure how to do it, and does it drive worse with it done?

[LS2ner]

Looks good man, i guess your skills are now proven to be true. You never updated me with progress of the cvcc.

Ahhh. My bad. The mechanic is at VIR for a race this weekend. The hood is propped and there has been some tinkering but he's supposed to dive in beginning of next week.

Heated springs? Did you just get a tourch and heat them? Not sure how to do it, and does it drive worse with it done?

That's what I did and how I did it. It's kind of hard to explain it but easy as hail to do it. And you can tell it's lowered but much better ride than cut. Took me all of about an hour of total heating time.

hope yours turn out as sweet as that one

Thanks and mine looks basically just like his. Right now. About the same color. And mine is a bit lower. But that will change pretty drastically as we are both going in totally opposite directions.

either that or cutting.

Yo! you still gotta tell me how you do it. what do you put the hubs on? or do you do it with the wheels on since they were so goll dern high!

No cutting for me. I'll never do that way. And I don't remove anything to heat.

DB4LYFE, thanks for the compliments. Later, QD.

[mushroom_toy]

Looks awesome, but I dont know if Im digging the headlights or not.

[vtecgsrguy]

1 G FTW!!!! looks good j!!!

[smrlsvtec]

ha.... you call that low??? this is my boys 78' civic dumped.








we are currently doing a brown top ZC swap with ITB's.

[quickdodge®]

ha.... you call that low??? this is my boys 78' civic dumped.

we are currently doing a brown top ZC motor with ITB's.

1. Yes I call that low. I didn't say slammed. Why? Because it isn't. I didn't say "dumped." Why? Because it isn't. It's lowered. End of story.

2. Your "boys" 78? Not dumped at all. In fact, it's about the same height. Just because he has bigger wheels to fill the gap doesn't mean it's dumped. And you can do one of two things right here. a)You can (and probably will try) to question what I know about "dumped." or b)Put me in touch with this guy (if he;s local) as Baby J and I and a few others are working to round up all the old school imports we can.

3. Great for your swap. I guess.

Later, QD.

^Looks like above car needs smaller wheels/tires. No honda needs wheels bigger than 15s.

[FRYLOCK]

Sorry QD dont know what that is

[smrlsvtec]

those are 15s the 78' is just a super small car so the 15s looks like 20s

[quickdodge®]

those are 15s the 78' is just a super small car so the 15s looks like 20s

Ain't that the truth. Lolol. Later, QD.

[quickdodge®]

Sorry QD dont know what that is

Same here. I have no idea what a B18 or whatever is. Later, QD.

[mushroom_toy]

Nevermind then lol. Tonka Toy Status.

looks good,cant wait for yall to have a "photoshoot"

[BABY J]

To answer a few questions...

** Thanx to "QUICKDODGE-ENGINEERING" for the time and education. I've had hydros, airride, cut springs, you NAME it I have done it -- OTHER than heating coils. This is the 1st time I've attempted this route. The drive back from Conyers to Canton I tried to upset it, flip it over, break it lose... and it's solid (w/ this original engine in place -- we'll see what happens when I have more power). To all that have their opinions on the procedure ---- hmmmm.... it's an open forum, I welcome it... but if you think I am a n00b on suspension here's a read:

http://www.hondasociety.com/board/sh...6&page=1&pp=30

And that's just for starters -- I've done it all in that arena, as I am an ex-mini trucker. The 88 (EF) coils, w/ OEM rebuildable struts (or just some regular KYB aftermarket replacements) are a bolt-on affair... or you can modify the spring perch for just a TAD bit more drop. I already have the skunk coils, and KYB struts for front and rear --- if I don't like this $30 method of lowering, I can still re-engineer the setup --- otherwise I saved myself almost $500.

** The headlights are in "test-mode" as we speak. Output is not as bright as the originals --- in fact, HI-BEAM is about what a normal aftermarket OEM replacement is on low. Leaves a lot to be desired IMO. I will use the side of a building to adjust them properly tomorrow night and retest. I am DEAD SET on the look, as many of you know this car will be 100% flat black on the outside... not an OUNCE of gloss anywhere... those lights will be a nice touch to complete the look I am going for. Furthermore... the bulbs are H4, ready for the HID retro-fit of my choice if my upcoming body mods --> <-- don't allow for some auxillary driving lights to assist the headlights. Speaking of the look... that leads me to...

** PAINT: The car was slated for paint on the 17th of March. I am waiting on rubber seals for the windshield, hatch, rear 1/4 glass. I already received the door weather stripping... all coming from Scotts Old Rubber in New Zealand. Once the rest of the rubber arrives, it will be painted satin black (think Skunk2) (exterior) by a local Canton, GA painter... and the interior (the paint scheme follows to the interior on classic cars --- there are only 2 "panels" in the car) will be painted by Superstar Customs (gloss black).

** Rotas -- no. LOL. But I do have some vintage style wheels for it that are currently being powder-coated and trued. (13x5)

** The car that some1 posted belongs to Evan --- not sure he is still building it, but it's looks lower due the 15in wheels --- as some1 stated --- very clean car though.

[BABY J]

UP for pics of the wheels (as they looked when I purchased them). When they get back from wheel wizard they will look like --->
