liking the red rocket so far!

5-lug conversion looks good, though i think getting nicer rims instead of the RSX 5-spokes would definitely make the CL look much hotter and it would probably compliment the CF hood better!

wow the turbo setup with the H22 is gonna be a screamer! wished i could do more better mods like u!

keep up the fun work, more pix r definitely required!

None of the suspension is on the car yet. I put my kyb's on my blue cl and got some ksports for the red one. I just put the spindle on to see how it would look. I got the rsx wheels and tires for a $100 on craigslist, so I couldn't pass them up. I just need something for the car to roll on right now, till I get what I really want. I definetly will have more pics as I complete the swap and drop in the motor. Right now I'm waiting for my lines for my power steering deletion. Thanks for the compliments.

this is what I'm doing with the p.s.

^ Bad ass. You relooped the steering rack just like me. Only you have a breather. And mine doesn't look as good.

Props on the other stuff you're working on.

I'm glad the seats worked out for you.

The seats are from an s2000, but not sure what year. Man those seats are light. I think I dropped at least 50lbs putting them in.

CF hood is not going to cost 300 or less.

i should have been a little more clear i was just in a hurry. yea i know they are about $600 give or take. what i was trying to say is that she will give me 300 to outright buy the wings west front lip, or take the 300 and put it towards the difference on the hood myself. does that make sense??
im leaning towards the hood myself

The VIS is the same one we have from the GB, they're just a wider weave pattern, and not the 2x2 weave like I have. But the VIS is the only hood u can get. Man they are so fragile it's scary

Blind: the one that you checked on e-bay saw that also. make sure its the one for the 1st gen. sellers always get stuff wrong with the years and models and other stuff.
