Here's pictures that I owe you guys, just ran outside and snapped some before it rains.

Keep in my mind I am going to go lower once I have 195/50s on, I hate the height of my car right now lol.

A little low


My ridiculous amount of unneccesary camber in the rear because of the stupid fender

The bay with power steering gone and the last of the wires tucked.

Open-ness is nice. Just need another plug for the drivers side wire opening.

Hmm maybe I'll have repaint my bay purple this winter...

And my CLOSED cup holder, first time this has ever happened in my car since I owned it lol. You can see my dirty *** oem floor mats too.

 

Looks really clean. I love how the header almost matches everything else.

And you know you just want to repaint the rims. Remember how bad it was to repaint the bay the first time?

 

Ehh I really want to get the bay perfect and get rid of all the imperfections and fill the holes I missed. I would actually spray it with a gun this time around too. Worst par would be getting all the old paint off lol. I'm going to start putting a turbo kit together too, changed my mind on cvc's supercharger, it may be different but what it dynoed at isn't worth it. Too low of numbers for me.

 

That bay looks really nice.

Good work.

 

instead of repainting the bay to match the wheels, why don't you paint your wheels to match your bay? I think the green/gold combo would look better than the green/purple combo...

but hey, to each his own.

 

Haven't really done much lately, have everything ready to be ordered for my battery relocation just need to spend the money.

Anddddddddd looks like I will be getting a swap. A friend of a guy from work has a B16 out of an si. Has 68k on it, everything there except trans, and he will sell it to me for $600. So it looks like I will be getting it this week. Find a trans for a few 100, mounts off cvc, shift linkage, rear t bracket, and maybe a clutch kit. Without the clutch kit I could have this thing in for like $1200, sell my D for like 4-500, be worth it for sure. And if this all goes through I am planning to have the motor in the car in 2 weeks since my parents will be on vacation and I'll take the garage, so hopefully this goes through!

 

what're you plans for it? a turbo perhaps? I've been strongly considering a turbo LS build lately...

 

All I'd do is probably just an intake manifold and throttle body this year. Maybe boost next year who knows. But for now I just want it in, have something better than the single cam. I took my car to a show yesterday and got a pretty good amount of attention surprisingly. The b16 is going to be so easy to put in, have it done in a day. I also did an alignment on my car last week at work, toe is supposed to be about 0.00, mine were .59 and .37 up front, aka ridiculous amount. Straightened those out agreeing getting my camber even. I'm running -2.8 degrees of camber in the front. And I need to get my fenders rolled soon, maybe this week, I have -3.6 degrees of camber in the back, when it should be like -.5 lol.

 

Took my car to StanceWI car show yesterday and it suprisingly got a lot of attention. People really liked the bay and the color scheme I've got going on, made me rpetty happy lol. The openess with the small D16 was what caught everyone and the fact that there's so much open space. Disappointed the battery didn't get moved. An online magazine that covered the event actually put a picture of the part of the bay with the JDM as wut sticker in their selection of like 10 pictures they put up out of however many they took at the event. I'm really liking the attention haha, makes my work worth it.

And I've got a new idea... I've been throwing random stickers on the underside of my hood as I get them from companies and stuff. I'm thinking about sticker bombing the entire underside of my hood. Would be really eye catching... figure between the gold bay full tucked and shaved, most likely a B16 in it, an dht ehood dampered traight up sticker bombed. Sounds good to me... Thoughts? I really want to get a KiddRacing header too (Bismoto knock off), haven't seen any in person here in WI, defintely be something special.

 

Nice! did you snap any pics while at the show?

Sticker bombing the underside of the hood sounds good.
I actually have like 6 stickers under there lol. thats where the stickers go when i dont have anywhere to put them lol
should look pretty cool specially with the bay tucked and painted
