Is cool making fun of people that dont have the same looking car as you? madtownhonda 02-14-2002, 01:11 AM CivicLx 02-14-2002, 01:12 AM xivera 02-14-2002, 01:15 AM Sup... Since I'm having problems posting Weshots' pix... just click on my homepage to check out pix of my car. sparq 02-14-2002, 02:54 AM Originally posted by -=BOOMER=- So sparq what is "cool? Is cool making fun of people that dont have the same looking car as you? Like I said Photoshop Ricer ~ when your car actually looks like that then come in here and let me know so I can have the biggest laugh of my life. You need to learn what things actually go together, and when something becomes just too much in excess... more then often, 99 out of 100 cars that are "cool" are "cool" because they follow the K.I.S.S. rule hondatool 02-15-2002, 12:01 AM here's my baby[URL=http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/271634mycar.jpg] hondatool 02-15-2002, 12:02 AM damn...it didnt work!!!!!! can someone help me out!!! hondatool 02-15-2002, 12:04 AM ....ok...i hope this works!!!http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/271634mycar.jpg CivicLx 02-15-2002, 12:24 AM Nice ride hondatool. Where you from? You should send your pic to Ground Designs so they can put it on their webpage. hondatool 02-15-2002, 12:28 AM hey thanks man...i never thought that...thats a good idea...i'll let them know... red96 02-15-2002, 12:38 AM civicbabe143 02-16-2002, 02:14 PM my ride is in my sig sparq 02-16-2002, 03:06 PM Originally posted by civicbabe143 my ride is in my sig OHHHhhhhh another girl! What the heck is it with chicks and the number 43? Megs favorite number was 43... ut oh, getting sad... :( civicbabe143 02-16-2002, 03:42 PM well 143 means I love you! If that helps. What do you guys think of my ride? I'm plannin on giving her about a 2.5 to 3 inch drop Rice-Rocketeer 02-16-2002, 08:25 PM Originally posted by hondatool here's my baby Very nice man. It flows. I like it. ric 02-17-2002, 12:28 AM Originally posted by civicbabe143 well 143 means I love you! If that helps. What do you guys think of my ride? I'm plannin on giving her about a 2.5 to 3 inch drop thats a bit extreme woudlnt you say? when i had my civic (in the pic i posted) that was dropped with sportlines and i think it was perfect to slightly to low and that was 1.8 inch drop. not to mention the camber was screwed, so a 2.5 - 3 inch drop is gonna have some horrible camber issues not to mention maybe even premature driveshaft failures from the extreme angle the shafts will be entering the spindle. but hey its your ride. oh not to mention you'll probably bottom out on every thing and end up ripping your oil pan off. and also most conventional struts will not be able to take lowering that much, even the ever so acclaimed koni yellows. j.fuggi 02-17-2002, 08:10 AM so neuspeed race springs and tokico illumina 5ways will do what to my car? if its gonna cause failure i'm on my way to get neuspeed coilovers. ric 02-17-2002, 12:39 PM Originally posted by j.fuggi so neuspeed race springs and tokico illumina 5ways will do what to my car? if its gonna cause failure i'm on my way to get neuspeed coilovers. what do you mean? neuspeed races are like 1.8 or 9 right? lowering starts causing a problem in the extreme class around 2.5+ inches of drop. camber kits only fix the alignment of the wheel but when the car is stationary you will see the strut piston is still 2.5 inches or more compressed into the strut body (short body struts wikll help). and the lower control arm is sitting at an angle its not used to. not to mention there may be a small tension on the ball joint. people think you slam your car on springs, put on a camber kit and your done. i doesnt work that way. the every aspect of suspension geometery is changed and needs to be corrected. and if you,ve lowered your car that low and havent had a problem.....wait. because it is coming. you may be ok now but its not a matter of if it happens, its a matter of when it happens. 1995HondaCivic 02-18-2002, 03:57 AM i would post new pictures of mine, but the post image option doesnt seem to be working. :( j.fuggi 02-18-2002, 02:28 PM Originally posted by i like naked girls what do you mean? neuspeed races are like 1.8 or 9 right? lowering starts causing a problem in the extreme class around 2.5+ inches of drop. camber kits only fix the alignment of the wheel but when the car is stationary you will see the strut piston is still 2.5 inches or more compressed into the strut body (short body struts wikll help). and the lower control arm is sitting at an angle its not used to. not to mention there may be a small tension on the ball joint. people think you slam your car on springs, put on a camber kit and your done. i doesnt work that way. the every aspect of suspension geometery is changed and needs to be corrected. and if you,ve lowered your car that low and havent had a problem.....wait. because it is coming. you may be ok now but its not a matter of if it happens, its a matter of when it happens. well modacar.com lists the neuspeed race's to give a 2.25" drop. i dont believe it, but my shits pretty low. ric 02-18-2002, 05:29 PM it may or may not bro. youve got to figure the lower you go the more your suspension geometery is changed no matter what. a camber kit is only going to move the top of the wheel outward by extending the upper control arm length. but you are still going to have 2.25" worth of altered suspension load distribution going into the radius rods, ball joint, wheel bearing, tie rod+ends, and the axle input. that cant be helpfull. kris 02-18-2002, 05:35 PM Originally posted by 1995HondaCivic i would post new pictures of mine, but the post image option doesnt seem to be working. :( Look in the top left of thie window. There is a link that says, very important. Read that and you can post pics.

The interior was completely destroyed, the exterior was falling apart, rusting and in really bad condition, and the motor was blown. So after I got it my fiance and I completely tore the whole thing apart stripping it of everything! Then the car went to go get a motor swap so we took it to my friend Richie and him, my fiance and I did the motor swap. Then another friend of mine does bodywork so then the car went to his house where we worked on it every weekend for 9 months! I helped with the bodywork by tapping, sanding, taking apart the car (i.e. doors, windows, trunk, hood), I helped him mold my bodykit on then sanded that down, and I helped him tape up the flames. I didn't want to do to much because I was afraid I would screw up. Then other than those two things I have either done it myself or with the help of my fiance. I have gotten most of my parts from either D&G Kustoms or Autothority. I hope this answers all the questions. Oh and about the neon lights I am not to much into it especially because it is so illegal here. I do want to put some into my trunk to accent my sound system. And thanks for all the compliments. (sorry so long) igo4bmx 02-19-2002, 09:28 AM pretty crazy car. i wish i had money like you ... iLLuCiv99 02-19-2002, 02:04 PM igo4bmx 02-19-2002, 02:07 PM Originally posted by iLLuCiv99 Looks Fast huh?

Major props there. don't say that .. she is a full fledged drug dealer.:devil: EliteImports 02-19-2002, 03:30 PM SublimeLAD 02-19-2002, 03:44 PM nice ride elite.... oh yeah and james, i wouldn't automatically assume that it's daddy's $$$. But even if it is, hey, i say get it where you can...hell, if my dad wanted to give me $$$ for my ride i know i'd sure as hell take it here's my ride but it isn't to date...i'm gettin a new hood with the carbon fiber insert and a terminator 2 spoiler put on right now http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/439620smallcivdogg.jpg EliteImports 02-19-2002, 03:46 PM Originally posted by SublimeLAD nice ride elite.... you too man... looks really good! iLLuCiv99 02-19-2002, 03:51 PM Looks nice Elite and Sublime.

GRLRACR 02-19-2002, 03:59 PM Originally posted by BlkBltJames I'm sure ill get the beat down for saying this bout grlracr but..... "I wish i too had daddys money..." But i am impressed with your knowledge about your car. Congrats. Major props there. Shit, I wish my dad would give me money! My dad would not give me $10 if I ran out of gas on the side of the road and neither would my mom!! So I wouldn't assume anything if I were you. That whole car was paid for by ME!!!!!! I have a nice job and not to many bills! I also work my ass off at work. So I really think you owe me an apology for that one! I have a friend who has a bad ass car and his dad paid for it all and he does not respect it at all, and well that is not the case with me. That car is like my baby I created it and I pay for it!! So let me guess because I am a girl you automatically assume that my parents pay for it, you are sooo wrong! Also, if you don't believe that I could have paid for it myself then explain why I go to settlement next Friday on a house that I had built just for me!! And you would feel real shitty if I told you that my Dad has passed so I would watch who you say stuff too like that because you may really hurt someones feelings one day. iLLuCiv99 02-19-2002, 04:19 PM nice move slick! lol j/k :) igo4bmx 02-19-2002, 04:26 PM Originally posted by SublimeLAD nice ride elite.... oh yeah and james, i wouldn't automatically assume that it's daddy's $$$.

SublimeLAD 02-19-2002, 05:22 PM hell yeah man!!! Hey GRLRACER, any time you wanna drive down to Ohio and give me a ride in your that, I'm all about it!!..(no sexual reference at all i swear!) GRLRACR 02-19-2002, 05:32 PM Originally posted by SublimeLAD hell yeah man!!! Hey GRLRACER, any time you wanna drive down to Ohio and give me a ride in your that, I'm all about it!!..(no sexual reference at all i swear!) And give you a ride in my that.... Do you mean give you a ride in my car? Sure but I will wait till it gets warm outside first.:cool: By the way, thanks for sticking up for me in the beginning!:) SublimeLAD 02-19-2002, 05:36 PM hmmm, maybe i should learn how to type....lol yeah, anytime...i just hate it when people automatically think that someone's parent's paid for their car....i guess that's one of my pet peeves... I see you did the b16a conversion....where did you get your engine from, I think that is gonna be my next mod. I've thought of ordering it online or just goin to a salvage yard... GRLRACR 02-19-2002, 05:40 PM Originally posted by SublimeLAD hmmm, maybe i should learn how to type....lol yeah, anytime...i just hate it when people automatically think that someone's parent's paid for their car....i guess that's one of my pet peeves... I just wanted to make sure that you were talking about my car, ha ha! Yeah it is one thing to KNOW that someones parent paid for their car and then to get on them then. But it is another to ASSUME that someones parent did it for them. He knew he was going to get it before he even said anything. It is definently a pet peeve for me too! Actually I would have to say ASSUMING is a pet peeve for me! Automotive Network, Inc., Copyright ©2012
