this thing is the sex

thank you! your hatch is dope as well. we can be twins here again soon when i get my respray!

Gnarly civic you got there , Really digging the current look but she deserves a respray..

About the tire leakage i think it's the warm weather. I drive on 165/45 but on 8x15 & 8,5x15 and got the same problem with one wheel. Weird thing was , in wintertime they'd never lost pressure. Already got it re-sealed but didn't help. Going with 195 for my next set-up. I'm "tired" having to pump up the tires every week.

Anyway keep up the good work. You"re heading in the right direction

It's so lovely deep for the static... Damn, like your low setup!

thank you good sir! if my rear quarter panels werent flared out i would probably have clean lip to QP fitment.trying to get closer in the front but god damn it scares me. i have a big ramp entrance going into my apartment and parking on the street where i live scares me more with all the bad activity :/ thats one of the things thats stopping me.

In to see some progress! I always like the shape of the ek hatch the best.
Just moved to Phoenix from Idaho Falls, The scene here is phenomenal, but always good to see a build from the gem state

Im really slacking on bodywork. Its my DD and i cant catch a break where i can put it away and get everything done waiting for a 3 day weekend to get it all done. i wish idahos car scene was alot more into stance. its neglected here :/

Went to the park down the street from my apartment. I've been getting slow leaks I'll go from 40 psi to 35 psi pretty quick. Can warm weather mess with tire pressure?

Looks good man, what else have you got planned?

Plastidipping possibly getting the body little cleaner and straight.

I'm not a big fan of Rotas, but your car pulls off the Shakotans well. Is that just natural camber all the way around or are you using aftermarket upper control arms?

Thanks. It's natural camber up front and a eBay kit in the bAck. Stock arms still. The rear ones hit sometimes on shitty roads.

blakeb, I've been lurking your thread for a fair while and it spurred me on not to care and just post my slow progress anyway.



you've gone through a few different looks, loved some more then others but still love your work.





then I see this update.

































howleechit!







































BAM!





















My pants now look like a porridge explosion. Thanks...



I would've thought your wheel/tyre spec would look silly without huge camber but this stage has grown on me - digging it.



Not to be rude or pry but:

I think I've seen a lip like that on eBay, is that where you got yours?

Can you still get full lock?

Have you had to extend your driveshafts due to lows?



I can't wait until the tax man pays you so you can paint and camber and I can have another explosion in mah pants.



Please keep going and don't stop.

Thank you! Sorry for the late reply. I'm really lazy abounding updates. I do appreciate it a lot. I have frame notches for axles and tie rods. Haven't cut shock towers yet. Yes I can go lock to lock. I rub fenders when I turn on corners sometimes depending on the speed not anything crazy though. I can't wait for paint gonna do a respray of same paint code or maybe a different shade of red. I like the rx7 red a lot. This is probably my favorite stage as well. I just wish the lips were alittle bigger. I find guys with 0 offset step lip 15x9s that think I'm bluffing when I tell them I'm on 15x9 with -15 offset cause of how small the lips look :/

So went through some changes waiting on my tax returns to come in so i can get paint finally been slackin hard. 15x9 -15 0ffset rota shakotans on 165/45/15s. i got alot of poke up front. I didnt want to run a front camber kit but it looks like im going to have to. I got frame notches for my axles and tie rods now also. still needs a bit more low but its my DD so i wanted it an acceptable height.
