woot

love how the car is coming together, looks nice with the nissaon steelies, maybe paint or polish em up hella shiny and they would look even more sick, just my .02 though, otherwise I love what you have done overall!

Nicely done!

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:

Those Denji Headlights? How is the range on them? I'm debating on either doing a retrofit or just getting the Denji Headlights. Can you get a couple of night pics?

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.

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.
i've only got crappy phone pics.
lows from 25ft:

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

Thanks! Exactly the reference I was looking for! I'll just save and retrofit the stock housings. :thumb:

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.

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.

Ended up not doing paint on the wheels. Started stripping them for a full polish.
