lets see how many people can tell him hes wrong and add another post to the ol count

 

okkk okkk guys, he's a n00b so he didnt know lol.

 

hahah, sorry to disapoint. I thought klepto posted the picture and I figured it was his. My apologies to acura1983 annnd klepto :P

 

we forgive you, but that's not a kit either

 

It is Klepto...

 

no its not, i forgot what his name was, but its not Klepto.

 

...we're whoring up this thread way too much.. this is a thread for people's projects and some ppl have posted plans on what their projects are gonna be.... but it should not be a bunch of comments....just my opinion as i like to come into this thread to see what ppl are doing... and yes i am a n00b and may not know a lot about how this forum works so if you disagree then continue on.. i just thought i'd give my

/of my whoring in this thread

 

really, it all fits so nicely, haha

I agree mitch, good call, this thread is becoming an internet dance party

 

Yes it is He's the one that parted out his sexy white CL and is from distinctiv tuning. It's "Klepto."

 

...that, is NOT Klepto. maybe if i was squinting and looked upside down.

 

No, I know that's not Klepto's CL, I thought Mospeed was talking about how to spell his name.

 

Stop whoring up my projects thread for the love of god!

 

college is a bitch. i havent been on here since september. and, i havent done shit with my car since then.

but, i got some silverstars a couple days ago, and so far they're a lot better then the originals. i just to fix the aim and it'll be money.

also, clear corners should be in the works. and come summertime, window visors, redoing the paint on the brakes, HIDs (if the silverstars burn out), replacing some bulbs, interior lighting, and if i make enough money, an in-dash navi.

 

I remember when I thought clear corners were a mod

 

what a loser, now whose the n00b!!??

 

I remember when i couldn't figure out to save my life how to install the clear corners

 

For the CL, I ordered my Navi unit. Should be here Wednesday. I know absolutely nothing about car stereo's, but decided I'll do the install and bypass myself. It doesn't sound like it's too hard.



Also, I put the Buick motor back together. I used all GM parts to keep the car original.





The paint is pretty dull so the next step is to have it resprayed.

 

dude blazin, you're busted.
i spot ET in your window, i'm calling the feds.

 

Damn, he keeps popping up in my photo's. Please don't call the feds, perhaps my friend George Washington will entice you?



Do you accept paypal?

 

 

color modding is where you take the washers and add them to the distance between the shield and the lense, not the complete housing. if you are going to add washers add them to the mounting holes for the shield not the housing. I would trial and error it but I added 2 to my stock shield which I shaved down with a file to get crazy colors, after I filed it down I shaved off about .18 of the top of the cut off.

 

btw I would find a sheet metal plate to cover up those mounting of the projector, to make it look clean and sealed off. aol im me tomorrow and I can tell you what I mean

im piecing together non-abs accord parts. brake hardlines, 40/40 proportioning valve, brake master cylinder and brake booster. that should be around 30lbs dropped.

oh man ive been waiting to say this NOOB

brakes are the one thing on a car ill admit i have little experience with. but i owned a crx setup like that back a few years ago and you had to be light on the brakes otherwise you would lock them up instantly it seemed. what would be the advantage to it other than the weight loss. is it better braking. seems like it might be more of a race setup than street, am i right?

 

So I did the Big 3 a while back, but never got a chance to upload the pics from it. When I got my new amp today, I decided it might be a good idea to throw some pics up, in case others (Mitch, cough cough) are interested in doing it. I highly recommend upgrading these 3 wires, it makes a huge difference in the electrical capabilities of our cars, especially since they're getting pretty old... anyway, on to pics:
Materials used:


I used 1/0 awg wire (~4300 strand count, iirc). this is not necessary, but I'd rather go overboard once, than to have to re-do it again this spring...

One ground loop done.

new ground terminal

How to make 1/0 awg ring terminals fit into our stock fuse boxes? Easy: bench grinder...

new alternator + to fuse box

+ wire from the fuse box to the + battery terminal

ground wires, red wire coming from the fuse box, and the gray conduit I used to shield the alternator + to fuse box

Original idea for new box

New amp...

 

exactly what i'm in the middle of matt nice, I was planning to ground my fuse terminals down with a dremel

 

damn thats messy wiring...

 

project wheel well revamping
im sick of the way my wheels looked, i think black with a chrome lip ive overplayed. and ive kinda been moving more to the jdm look so i wanted to go ahead and make a change with my wheels. The only concern i had was that my wheels had already been powdercoated, so i was worried about the paint sticking. so this was a gamble. here was what it looked like before.




and heres everything i got.


end of first stage:


and then this weekend i was going to do the rest, which is my centercaps, lugnuts, and calipers.
so i started the take today, and then something came up out of no where and i had to throw everything back together and take off. so im gonna go ahead and probable finish the rest of the center caps this week. but next weekend im looking to do all the lug nuts, calipers, and im cooking something up quite like this:



well heres the one wheel i did today, minus the ACURA caliper mod

 

wow dude that's hella sick! love the white n red theme!!

 

Finally getting warm enough to start working in the garage again

 

Ordered a couple odds and ends for the ack, going to start working on her this weekend

 

yup

other than weight, im doing it to get rid of the excess clutter from my engine bay.
