Default My Car: Update - New Pics

Okay, so I promised you all I would add more pictures so I've done so.I understand not many pretty much not any like body kits but this is what I can do for now until I sell my kit or make money for a lip kit and stock bumpers.
I just bought a cold air intake, so that is out of the way. I plan on doing a mini me swap with a b16y8. I eventually wanna end up getting a turbo late on. Sorry if some of the pictures are blurry and dont mind all the other cars in the background, my brother and dad do body work and paint cars sooo yeah... No flaming please.

thats a really clean car. superfly was right you really don't see too many body kits put on that well.

and I might recommend spending a day cleaning out that engine bay that thing is dirty

and im glad that you didn't mess up the interior with any paint, that probably one of the ugliest mistakes in my opinion. (I made that mistake on my last car and really regretted it).

Woohooo! a b16y8... wait.. they don't make them. You're probably mistaking it for a D16y8. Unless you plan on using a b16 motor, having a B to D trans conversion and running the y8... but that would just be absurd and costly. lol

Turbo's can be fun, and yet completely disappointing if you don't do it the right way (i.e. tune properly, having the right parts, being ready for the motor to blow due to lack of the previous two things).

i may not like it, but i can sure respect it

Definitely clean out the engine bay, and you'll have a pretty clean civic

edit: somewhere someone said to paint the rims black or gray. i think if you did a semi gloss charcoal gray, it'd really make your car good

edit #2: on second thought, it might clash a bit with the headlights and the stripe.....could still look pretty sweet though

not going to flame you since you got flamed on your other thread. but i find it pointless to turbo an auto tranny, are you doing a manual conversion? but yea at least you didn't start painting your interior orange. also where are the side skirts?

Definitely ditch the lambo doors and the REAR BUMPER immediately. I actually like the orange color with the white wheels, they go good together. They might be pretty con****uous, but maybe thats the kinda person you are, they still look good. Not so fond on the front bumper either, but the rear is much worse.

Not only that, but it is likely that he will f*ck up his torque converter and/or rest of transmission. They are weak.
