hvcc is just not a very friendly place for the tuner and his lude imo just cause i know people that def scope cars there i know my da was a target back in the day oh wait thats right it got jacked up
:+1 i love this car specually after last night lol
Haha, thanks.
I suppose I should give a mini-update while I’m here. The JDM window visors are on. I love em, they look good and didn’t add any wind noise. Not sure if they are worth what I paid for em, but I guess thats the sacrifice you need to make for rare parts. Also tucked some of the wireing harness on the passenger’s side. That still needs a little more work tho, gotta try and get the wires lower. Got the supplies to relocate my battery to the trunk, but there isn’t a usable grommet into the cabin on that side of the car, gonna have to drill a hole. Also picked up a set of 94-97 Accord side skirts. Still looking for the 3 piece rear lip off the same year Accord (was behind one at a stop light today, I wanted to jump out and rip it off the car) and will be picking up an e-bay “Type-R” lip for the front.
Went to my body guy today. The estimate is 600 bucks to fix everything. He’s gotta bend the rear bumper support back into place, repair the rear bumper, and paint both the front and rear bumpers. 600 isnt bad considering I got 700 for the rear and 500 for the front from the insurance, it’s to bad that I spent all that on my H22. Should also be ordering a clutch in the next couple of weeks, already got a 11lb flywheel (Thanks Swifty).
Other odds and ends I hope to have done by early summer:
-Paint the calipers silver
-Paint the heat shield silver
-Resurface the wheels
-Scrap the stickers off the strut bar and re-paint that
-Blue valvecover (H23A Vtec/F20B)
-Shave and polish the spare valvecover I have (for shits and grins really)
i could prolly hook you up on a nice powdercoat for the strut bar at my pops work. silver calipers are gonna look nice. but gold calipers would just be HARD.
Powdercoat would be nice. How much we talking?
I’ll think about the gold. Thing is, I have NOTHING else on my car that is even remotely gold, might look out of place. And I like the “acid dipped” look as you put it last night.
i want mine color matched to my car.
when i say “hook you up” that means the hookup. like “free cause its a honda dude” and not having the gold match anything would be perfect. too much matching colors was heavily over played in like 1998 hahah eclectic colors on a car is best. a sti-ish brembo gold caliper would be perfect dude. TRUST ME IM JDM lol
soooo white doors on a blue teg = JDM now?? :rofl
j/k dude :lol :tong
slack… sweet car preludes FTW!
as for the gold, id do it. I love the rims on my lude but i want bright gold rims with chrome lip. No money for stuff lke that right now but maybe next year.
BTW, are you going to the tri-state prelude meet? It’s about a 3 hr drive and over 50 luders are gona be there its sat may 24th wana go?
not as jdm as your “Type R lip” hahah
my car moves out, all im concerned about… not into the mad JDM scene y0 :tong
