In-Progress: Civic Hatch with mods (pics)

So far i've open the air intakes in the front bumper, make some mods in the back bumper and the engine is finish (im very happy with the results). I guess i won't do anything else for now.......the color will be white with CF hood and black rims.




The engine

I'm guessing you're trying to build a turbo. Well, that certainly wont pass for one in a contest. Other than that, everything looks great.

The engine pic you got probably had a turbo...that's what it looks like you're trying to represent.

This is the first thread I have seen him rip apart in awhile. I agree with him somewhat though.

Re: In-Progress: Civic Hatch with mods (pics)

How am I ripping it apart if all I'm doing is suggesting that he put something that would replicate or just barely pass for a turbo? What's wrong with suggestions? If he doesn't want to put a turbo then fine, he doesn't have to. It will still look the part. It's just my opinion that he should add something that makes it look like it has a turbo.

Sorry for voicing my opinion and making a suggestion, won't happen again. Alfa, I wish you best of luck on your project, and hope it comes out great.

There are different ways of saying things, and yours is the wrong way. It's as simple as that. You are just in a very annoying way saying that he should put in a turbo, since what he's done is not such a thing. I completely agree with BaNe, you are indeed being a bit of a jerk.

Sorry if I went too far, but your post really made me mad.

(I'll probably regret this post later)

Back to the point: the engine looks good

Looks really good. Who cares if it is turbo or not. Remember. Build for your self.

Yea to will probably regret that post later if he replies with a rebuddle because you both will probably end up getting a vacation.

Get this thread back on track, and take the issues up with 86_Sr5 with PMs.

ok, 86_SR5, don't worry, i just realize that you're right, the engine on the pic had a turbo....and i didn't see it.....the problem is that my engine it's all glue together, so i can't do anything. I guess i will play more attention to that details next time

Now if anyone have a suggestion of what i can do......please let me now

btw, sorry for my crappy english....it's just that i'm from Chile, so english is my second lenguage

Re: In-Progress: Civic Hatch with mods (pics)

well i dont know your skill level. but as long as it isn't any type of contest entry that is a fair representation of a turbo.
