Damn i can't even find a picture of them on Google, they must be rare lol.

 

i don't get it
they seem like probably a good wheel, but 7 inch wide and +45 offset...
to each their own

let's see some pictures of these, tried searching and could only find the s1&2 and the n1 and gt1 by Black Racing... and their GT1's look like Enkei RPF1's, and there s1's look like Advan RG's...

 

these are them. i think they will look great matt. are you going to do anything as far as finish goes?

 

i dont think so. i think im just gonna clean the hell out of them and leave them alone.

thanks for finding the picture. the kid took pictures down after i bought them.

 

Those are very pretty. They will look nice on the car. No luck selling it I presume?

 

nice. I'll probably end up buying these off of you down the road anyways ahaha.

 

nah ethenol, no luck. maybe once i fixed the rust ill have a better chance.

and jon, one day im sure.

 

Hmm, what could these be for?

 

Look what else was in that box:



And how they currently sit:









Gonna be running to a store for some paint and sealant here in a bit. Then it's back to work and getting these babies done. They've been a huge pain so far (took about 6 hours to get apart), but they should be worth it in the end...

Thoughts?

 

are those fred's upside down ones?

 

Those are ghettoninjas upside down projos right? and 6 hours to open em?! the bumper takes no more than like 20 minutes, and opening the lights is easy if u prebake them and let the sealent get hot so you can pry them apart. Unless you can't prebake because of the projos o.O?

Anyway, Nice job, and I can't wait to see the outcome. I hope you get it all figured out. Sealent is a pain if you get it on your clothes btw lol.

 

Yes, they're Fred's.

See above. And yeah, 6 hours to get them baked (12 minutes at 200 degrees), pulled apart, and taking everything apart so I can re-use it, so I had to be careful. If I wasn't re-using everything, I would've been done in 20 minutes.

And yeah, I know how to get mine off and these on. I blackhoused my headlights awhile back, so I know how to get the bumper on/off. Not exactly easy with big fat fingers/hands like mine, but definitely not a long process.

Thanks, and I also look forward to them being done. And the stock sealant is a pain if it gets on your clothes. Working in old ass clothes ftw.

Anyway guys, I'll have a complete build thread up (hopefully) later tonight, but I guess we'll see. I just got done eating some dinner, now it's time to get these babies finished.

 

lookin good so far matt

 

Passenger's headlight was done last night (Ignore the 3 lights shining on the front, that's the light over the table I was working on):



Driver's light is still drying, but is now done:


Inside pic:


And yes, this time, they're the right side up

 

Wow you got those done fast since all the hard work was done. Nice work bro, can't wait to see them in person

 

Most of the hard work, yes. But 3 of the 4 mounting points on the passenger's side one came loose so it wasn't all gravy. So when are we going to have that OH/PA meet?

 

Dang Matt, they look great! Looks like you didn't need the junkyard set afterall. Can't wait to see cutoff pics of them the way they are supposed to be..lol.

 

First off, thanks, and I can't wait for cutoff pics either. Second, did I need them yet, no. But will I need them for that other project I've told you about, yes. So don't worry, they'll go to good use.

 

They're alive...

 

stock rims...good color?

 

BTW:



Pic taken with the car ~6' from the garage door. I may take 'er out tonight, and if I do, I'll be sure to grab plenty of pics for you guys. If not, Friday for sure.

Thoughts?

 

gotta love the cutoff, especially when it's the right direction

 

the NOOB Guide, it's only been forever.........

 

Nice job on those Saiko. I was kinda wondering what was going on when we went from 1 n00b guide to a handful. But I like the way they're set up now a lot better. Much easier to look for certain info.

 

Nice work Dan

 

Now that I've got the CL on the road for the summer, I have a few days of projects lined up.

Remove mudflaps (Already done)
Replace broken rusted license plate brackets (Already done)
Modify double din dash kit for Pioneer Double Din touchscreen
Wire all speakers with crossovers to the highs amp already mounted in trunk
Finishing touches on my homelink conversion, including fabricating buttons and bracket modifications.
Mount fog lights to current bumper since it doesn't appear I will be getting a new one yet
Mount ww lips temporarily so that I can rock them for the summer
Get an alignment (should be interesting given how low the car is)
Get tires installed on 18" rims and install rims with custom centercaps and lugs.
Possibly more if the money fairy appears and gives me money

 

, if she stops by tell her to come see me next LOL!

Glad to hear you're getting to driver her again! I wanna see her on the road lower than b4 on them 18's!

 

you and me both, if that bitch shows up, I'm tyin her up in my basement and usin her as a mac machine

 

money fairy hog

 

Going to look at a frost white 97 CL this weekend (5 speed) 98k miles

 

^yeah that's right, you can't leave for long....AZine is your cocaine

if i could go back, i'd pay a little more and get a 98, for the interior and get one that had heated seats

 

Haha, nah. As I said in the other thread that was ignored, I'm going to australia in the spring, for a year, so I don't want to continue paying off the remainder of my loan on the mazda3 while I'm away.

I found my old car on craigslist for $350, rims tires, and camber kit still on it... so I might buy it back and keep the spare parts baha. But we'll see what happens this weekend when I look at the car. It would be much better for me to not have a car payment. Plus, it'd be nice to drive a CL without a messed up steering rack!

 

LOL! Ok, now it's funny.

 

When I get out of work around 12-1pm, I'm going to shoot this guy a call and drive out to check the CL. I will bring my camera for proof, granted he picks up the phone again.

 

You better drive there whether he picks up or not!

 

im glad that i could put these on the Accord when and if i decide to lower it.

 

Too bad they haven't even been turned on in like 3-4 weeks...

I'm starting to feel like Chris (BlackAck, not to be confused with the other Chris's on here) having bunches of parts just sitting around and not even touching the car

 

u have no idea

 

This asshole isn't answering his phone or text messages and his voice mail is full...
He told me "anytime this weekend" was good. He better call me back, soon.

 

if anytime this weekend is good, drive out anytime this weekend.
