Everything is goin on this sunday :biggrin: :biggrin:

Sorry for the shitty quality of the pics, I took them with my phone.

very very cool :)

thats pretty good quality for a phone! technology these days... lol

curious... "dress up master" ? is that supposed to mean the springs and stuff are just for looks? i know that can't be the case...

Only the middle two pictures are with my phone, the first and last are with my old 1.3mp camera.

I dunno whats up with the dress up master deal, but I mean its Tein, so Im not too concerned with whats on the box, whats more important to me is the quality inside the box :biggrin:

I think that's just a name they use since most people just use that kit mostly for looks. Of course it will help the handling, but you know people and their fancy cars. They want it low for looks, not really for handling benefits. Holler

NOBU

from the ads i have seen there is race, and dressup master.
its just a matter of rideheight...dont think anything else matters

oh yea, NICE RIMS!!!!

Took em with your phone?! Was it a VTECH phone? Alot of ppl have 'VTECHs' here! Hrhr...

kinda corny tho...lol

Very Nice rims. What Year/Model Car?
I bet your mom was happy when she came home and that trash was everywhere :)

Oh yeah, she was very pleased to come home and see that. My dad was actually quite a bit more unhappy though, he made me move all the shit into the garage the minute he got home.

Everything is goin on tomorrow morning though, got my garage all set up with the air compressor, impact wrench, spring compressor, and jack/jackstands.

Oh, to answer your question...

Its a 99 Civic EX coupe.

Nice. Let's see some pics of those wheels on your ride!

yea


they look sick :)

nice...

good luck w/ the installs (all are easy, but still... :biggrin: )

wuts next after these? motor mods?

Im PLANNING to boost it this summer. I want to find a slightly used Apexi kit, but Im thinking Ill just end up getting the Greddy. Im not really looking for anything super crazy fast, Id probably be satisfied with 180-200whp, I dont feel like building the motor, or having things like the tranny go prematurely. Ill probably stay below 8 psi if I do get the kit. Im only a sophomore in HS, had my license almost a year, already on my second car too :biggrin: but we wont get into that. Im not in too big of a rush to do all this stuff (turbo), but I have the money, and my parents are ok with it, so I dont see why I shouldnt. Ive started the process of learning about forced induction more in depthly, so I can make a good decision about what to get based on my goals, restrictions etc.

KRNXRacer: (OT) Are you planning to go to the WA HIN meet in May? Im from Bellevue, and im planning on it, so if you go Ill see you there!

nice ride man, I got a black 94 wit blackrims/polished lip im waitin to put on mine as well.

Can the D series go past 8psi? I thought they were only safe at 6psi.

I've heard of 9-10psi with proper tuning. With excelent tuning anything is possible.

Nah, I know people who run 10psi daily and 12-16 psi at the track just fine, no problems. Its all about fuel management and tuning.

those numbers sound a little too high. hmm

nice choice for rims...more pics when you get it all installed

D[x]P: Nice Golf in your sig

10 does sound really high, I wouldn't boost more than 7-8 psi on a stock D series motor. The connecting rods in those motors are like pencil thick.

Well guys, the install didnt go to great. Everything was going great, got the strut assembly off in a snap, like 5 mins, compressed the springs, things were looking good. Then, I tried to get that top bolt on the assembly. Fuckin thing wouldnt budge. We tried everything, no look, so we just took it in and a shop is installing the springs tomorrow. I got the rims on though, they look pretty sick, car looks like a fawkin 4x4 though cus of the massive fender gap.

how much u paid for the rims and where did u order them from?

too bad everything didnt go as planed...but post pics anyway





irt gscivic:yea...that golf is badass
