So might've mentioned on here before that my last day of skool was May 28th and so i just had my graduation this past sunday thus my reason for not being on for like 4 days (not that anyone on here cares) so anywho just thought id mention that just in case any of yall wanted to send me grad money lmao jk jk but nothing new on the hatch other than the fact that i put over 100 miles on my car in an afternoon! which might be no big deal to you but it is for me cause my car finally got pushed over 130,000 miles idk why but it made me a little sad when i saw that hahaha anyway so thought id mention that.

Got a lot of college **** to pay for so wont be able to buy much for my civic until the beginning of the semester or so Once there and a wee bit settled down financially ima try to get the new tails and keep an eye out for some bumpers, or at least the front one and a new hood.

Basically wont have many actual updates on my thread all summer just minor stuff and maybe pictures or something so for those of u who actually check it every now and then im sorry

 

So went to O'Reillys today to talk to their hiring manager about getting a job there and its basically a no and decided to check into the Autozone that i applied at and he said some crap about oh well they already sent the emails out to the guys that they want to have come in so if u didnt get it, sorry which realy made me feel like **** about my life right about now. Ima be stuck at f@cking Schlotzsky's Deli getting paid minimum wage (or barely over it) for the rest of my life apparently granted a job is a job but it still blows! Ugh anyway sorry had to vent. Im really trying to find a cheap Front Mask for my EK but theyre expensive and the ones that i can find might be kinda pricey too but we'll have to see. Plus my dads kinda bein a douche about me getting one but i might be able to talk him into letting me buy one but thats a very slim chance :/

Bascially, life is sh!tting on my head right now and it friggen sucks.

 

get the bumper fixed $100 for bumper and i can get a paint job for the bumper in my area for $150. eventually you want to get it fixed right? might as well get it done now if you got the money will look 1000x's better than the bra

 

^ Yea I've got **** to get painted too. Both front and back bumpers need to be done, I'm going to have them fit my front bumper since it sits bad right now. Having my skirts and a front and rear lip all painted at the same time too. I get a super good discount with the guys so it won't cost me much. Was going to do a si spoiler but now I have a cf trunk and I'm not drilling. So basicaly Kenny, I agree with azn, just get it fixed right. You can snag up an oem bumper from craigs or the junk yard for $50. And it isn't like your color is rare, the rear bumper I have is off a coupe the same color as yours. So I bet you could find one on someone parting out a car on craigs. My green sucks so all my bumpers are matte black atm.

 

You guys have a good point. Thx for setting me straight. I mean the mask would be a quick fix and the oem ones would look really nice but it wont fix the long term problem and the oem ones are expensive as hell. Im just really battling with my dad about my car stuff lately and im prety sick of it. So i was thinking the mask would be an automatic "shure" from him but nope...anyway. Ima need the front and rear bumper, new sideskirt (pass side), paint the bumpers prolly (unless i canfind an excelent condition one), ima need a new hatch door too, and a hood to make the body acceptable but not good. Needs clearcoat alone the windows (which ima do thats an easy fix) and its got several dings, dents, and scratches EVERYWHERE. So its just a real struggle since i cant even touch it really.

 

just a tip... the paint isnt what gets you from point a to point b. think about it. i rahter have a really good running clean motor and a ****y body, than to have a really nice car that i gotta work on every damn day

 

Haha yesir! i agree completely. ive done everything imaginable maintenance wise to my car since i bought it and it'll prolly run for another 10 years now so im just down to the exterior until after college for the engine swap if i keep her.

i guess it could use a transmition fluid change haha thats all thats left that i havent done

 

So i turned 18 yesterday! So im gonna get my savings acount switched to a checking account soon which means ima be able to set up a paypal acount this summer I was excited about that.

Been watching ebay for some lips and grilles and am finding some good deals so might buy a set once im settled in in college. Nothing set in stone yet but ima save about $200 for lips and a grille. Wont be painted for a while but oh well.

Decided im just gonna start picking small projects to do this summer and, well, just do them. Trying not to be on here and post a whole lot but its hard lol anyway so im gonna try to get my dome light changed to a led set up and maybe start work on the guages and dash led lights, etc. Going to the lake tomorrow so prolly wont start anything til monday.

 

Happy late birthday dude!

 

Thanks DaOne!

Tomorrow im going to start work on the LED swap for the dome light and maybe look into doing other stuff before i go to work. Anyone got any advice? *cough-cough*A2B!*cough-cough*

Seriously though, info on anything would be helpful. VERY detailed would be great From just the dash lighting (a/c controls etc) to the actual dome and ill look into the cluster in the diy section to see if i wanna do that this week.

Thanks in advance guys!
