Since winter barely hit over here in Chicago my car went into hibernation mode and for me that means get to work. since im an active member of my car team, we have a lot of shows to attend including the kansas meet. So i have to step up my game a little lol. Here are the mods i got planned.
- rv6 hfc's and j pipe
- rv6 strut bar
- form and function type 2 coilovers (my h&r lowering springs will be up for grabs soon)
- custom audio set up in the trunk for more space
- replacing interior speakers for alpine components
- lightweight pulley

mods i have recently done.
- polished throttle body
- painted engine cover
- custom catback exhaust (vill0169 old setup with new tips)

I will post pics as progress goes on.

I've already been working on my fiberglass box so here is how far i got.

making the mold

mold is out after some drying

test fitting the mold with the speaker ring in place

after wrapping with fleece, now just ready for a layer of resin.

 

looking good, do work....

 

polished throttle body



painted engine cover

 

Wow looks nice!

 

you got some nice mods gettin waited to put on!

also, I'm not usually a fan of painted engine covers, but you've pulled it off well. nicely done!

 

great progress!

 

looks good! might have to ride with you guys to some of the meets. im only about an hour away from you

 

Thanks

thanks, took me a while to decide how I wanted it but I'm happy with how it came out

Sounds good, you should roll with us for the kansas meet. we have a few member from az in our crew like chicity and rl chi-town that are going. its a fun trip and well worth it.

 

Liking the progress!

 

when is the Kansas meet? Would like to make it there this year.

 

steven bell makes the anouncment as we get closer to june

 

^^^ Guys, the National Meet will happen this year! It will be in late May or early June (possibly June 9th & 10th). Last year, it was the first weekend of June. I'm shooting for that again this year. This helps avoid college graduations, Mother's Day and comes before Father's Day. Besides, it's not too hot yet in KC!


Dude, it looks like Spring Fever has hit you early-nice work.

 

Nice progress so far...TB looks great polished!

 

Thanks, I got the idea from jptl04.

 

I'm not a huge fan of engine covers but that sure does look good.

 

resin is on just letting it dry


im not sure on what finish i want either trunk matched carpet or silver paint to match the car with some ghost acura logos on it?

suggestions are welcomed...

 

You should let me know when your h&r's are up for grabs. I'm semi-local. I'm from Green Bay, WI. I'm willing to drive if you can give me a good deal.

 

box is done. i ended up finishing it to match the trunk and that is the closest i got. now time to work on an amp rack.

 

amp rack is done, just need to start making connections. but this is how it will look like.

sorry for the shitty pictures. once pring time hit ill be setting up a photoshoot to make up for it

 

stb is in

Something else I picked up from richie

 

Engine bay looks great! I love how the strut bar matches the pieces on the engine cover and the oil cap.

What's the sticker on the battery cover? And sorry but the Mugen badge

 

Tinted, your trunk and engine compartment turned out awesome.

 

Lol I got bored and decided to put it there. The sticker is the warning sticker that camber with my h&r springs saying warning the suspension on this car has been modified blah blah blah.
thanks, im almost done just need my coils and jpipe

 

Mugen? :gheylaugh:

 

coilovers just came in

 

 

Cool. I like the progress.

 

You're really keeping yourself busy, Tinted!

 

Hey Jose, I never noticed that you finished the sub, it looks great. The car is coming along nicely.

 

Your car looks great and your engine compartment looks bad ass, but please lose the "Mugen" badge !!

 

Nice progress. You're gonna love the coils, the ride is smooth!

 

I mean business this year lol

Thanks, took a lot of time to finish.
