If everything goes as planned I am going to start sometime toward the end of march first of april and finish it in about 4 days. I try to do everything at once. I hate haveing to keep going back and doing things and adding things. So I am just going to wait until I get everything together at the same time and get the Shop and paint booth take about 5 days off from work and get to work on project civic.

 

I'd go flat black with no clear coat (it ruins the fact that its flat to begin with), but I'm insane. I think the low gloss would be more striking, and ur less likely to see anyone else with the same skin.

 

sounds good. still think you should go high gloss on the paint.

 

Just like every other high gloss black civic in the world. I want this car to differant.

 

Damn, quite a project ahead. Good luck.

 

Build the motor with forged rods and low comp pistons. Have it sleeved. I know its gonna be expensive and labor intensive, but when the boost guage goes to 20, you will be happy, even if it takes you longer to save up to do it.

 

I'm tellin ya FLAT BLACK no clearcoat!!!! Sport Compact Car did a project STi in October 2004 in flat black....sick....with a capital ICK. I loved it, and damn talk about 1 off. DO it-DO it!!![sm=icon_rock.gif]



Mad Maxx--need I say more.

 

We are going to do this project first. My friend that has built all my cars and is also a honda tech is going to be doing all the major stuff. His dad owns a big body shop and we are doing the work there. We went over the plans and he said since I like you and love doing these jobs for you the labor is going to be $250. The paint job sanded primered and painted $250. We are going to do this turbo setup first and its going to cost alittle bit and go back later after the new wears off and do the inside of the motor. My wife has been cool so far and I don't want to hear any bitching about spending tons of money on this car so fast. If you read some of my past post you will see I am moving along at a pretty good rate. I got the car in the middle of Dec and have already done a mini me swap, tuned p28 ecu,full exaust,header,cai,side skirts,rear bumper, wheels,5% window tint, changed the tail lights back to stock, black headlights,touch screen dvd player, 12 inch sub, 600 watt amp, custom box built in the floor to look stock, and a Si int swap.

 

Dayumn, you are moving along arent you? How was the Si interior swap? Easy?

 

IT act was a breeze. I thought it would be a pain but everything went smooth.
