Wow wWyotech is expensive, like 30k for the 2 years. Too bad you couldn't take that deal haha. Uti is like that too... 30k+ for the 2 years plus you still have to pay for an apartment which the nearest is Chicago which would be super expensive. Friend of mine is going there but stayin with his uncle... seems like a waste to me.

 

Yah i really would love to go to wyotech but its supa expensive and they have a uti down here close to me in houston that id like to go to but its even more expensive than wyotech so im fcked :/ ima just teahc myself most stuff about cars and learn from others haha

 

So nothing new just wanted to say that i washed her real good today but i have a question for yall...my hx's are painted black as some or most of you may kno but they are hella dirty and when i use the armoral stuff on them to get the road grime, brake dust, etc off it oes not work...what does work? Ill try to take pics tomorrow cause i might be asking for someone to make me a sig if i get good ones

 

I dont know if this is good for you wheels or not, but i did it anyway with good results. I wet sanded them with 1000 grit paper till they looked cleaner and then put a coat of wax on. mine are spray painted and it worked ok.

 

Ah maybe thats why then...idk i mean itreally isnt worth the cleaning since theyre wayyy beat to **** anyway but still :/ I just need to get them repainted and fixed the right way. I think that they didnt clearcoat the wheels so all the brake dust and dirt just sticks even more idk if that makes sense or not prolly doesnt :/

 

So took some pics this morning. Its been a while so thought id update the thread with new pics


These were just random, for kicks and gigles, pics.



Debadged but needs touch-up paint.

Semi-gloss black badge I like it a lot lol

The painted centercaps (one pic of one) on the beat up hx's

Side image. Cleaned her on Sunday but the rims are terrible!


So yea ima clean the interior today and maybe take some shots for yall but its nothing special so prolly wont lol

 

Reminds me of supersize. Lol really really does. Calipers ruin any good look the rims might get you

 

Yea they were painted when i bought the car. If i ever repaint my wheels or get new ones ima make em black ive already decided. Looks best that way imo

 

So im getting sick of my beat up and crappy lookin hx's and have decided that im not gonna bother with repainting them or having them powdercoated so i am thinking about keeping them until college and then trading them or selling them and getting something else (preferably cheap-ish).

Id like something from Honda but id be open to something else if i found it cheap or somethin.

What do yall kno of that would look good on an EK hatch? I found a EK coupe with Fit wheels that i like on google but idk...here the pic:
