- Sat Jul 06, 2013 10:52 pm #333939 thanks guys. the meshes arent done yet. well two and a half are. probably be done in about a week or so.
as for the nissan steelies im probably just sand em a bit and then plastidip them. they are two piece, but the rivets/screws/whatever that holds em together dont come out so meh. :?
as for other news, plastidipped my hood black because i got drunk. came out ok, but it needs to be recoated. :lol:
also got the resonator in my exhaust cut out and a piece of straight pipe welded in. also got the hangers shortened so that the entire exhaust is nice and snug up there in the tunnel. the yonaka exhaust was pretty quiet to begin with so its just a bit louder but not much. mostly at the low rpms.
the reason for that was that even without being slammed the yonaka resonator was so big around that it scraped everywhere.
no pics though. sorry. had it done at a buddys new shop while i was at work.
now i can go super low without my exhaust scraping! :woot: :thumb:

Yeah sure I'll take a couple tonight.
The stock projector in the denjis is OK but not on the same level as a retrofit. To be honest I just went with the denjis cause I got a good deal and i like them. If you want stellar output and visibility do a retrofit. Or do a retrofit on the denjis and get the best of both worlds haha.

- Sun Jul 14, 2013 3:10 am #334191 ok so here we go. got some night pictures. my hi beams are nokya super yellow, and my lows are philips extra vision. no HIDs.

highs:

lows from 10ft:

the cutoff isnt that great. and my headlights arent aimed right.
like i said, the out put on the denjis isnt that great. thats what happens when you use bulbs/lenses meant for foglights.
hope that helps

glad i could help!
eventually i'm going to retrofit the denjis, but thats pretty low on my list.

a few things may have changed with the build. not going into detail yet since nothing is ironclad.
still gonna be supercharged though. that hasnt changed. :thumb:

in other news, imm be picking up a legit mugen eg9 lip with the little badge thing and hardware on friday. :woot:

thanks man!
picked my new- to me- mugen lip up today. as soon as i picked it up you can feel a difference in the material compared to an ebay lip. i dont have pics but it has these tabs that extend from the inside of the lip perfectly to the bumper.
next step is a new oem bumper, and then getting the rad support pulled and straightened.
then supercharging by the end of august.
paint probably after the winter.

- Tue Jul 30, 2013 2:10 am #334896 finished polishing the lips on the mesh wheels. tried painting the centers but i guess it was too humid or something, so the paint didn't take right. came out turrible.(no pics for the sake of my dignity lol)
instead of trying again, a buddy of mine is going to be painting them at his shop next week.
after that, getting the tires mounted, lowered more, a wash and wax and then it'll be time for Honda day at etown!

as for the supercharger, im shooting to have it all in and tuned by the second week of September.

- Sat Aug 03, 2013 3:09 am #335077 picked up a few new items.
was planning on getting a kamikaze 4-1 header, but found a brand new obx racing version of the same type for 75$ locally. not as good, but 225$ cheaper. score.
also ordered some billet innovative mounts, and bwr radiator stay, gates thermostat, window visors, and mudflaps.
all of it should be here before saturday so i can it all installed before honda day.
