Fourth Time's the Charm - Another Air Hatch

[Dremetos]

There's a portion of it you aren't seeing that is the fun part lmao

[Dremetos]

STILL NO DROP FORKS HERE YET UGH FRONT NEEDS TO GO LOWER SO EXCITE...........

[Dremetos]

Still waiting for my drop forks.....

Wet sanded the car today, found some crappy spots, but such is life. Can't ask for much with a 75$ paint job.



(No, that rear wheel isn't bent. Weird ass image generator distorted it.)

Will be waxing it tomorrow! (It's much futher assembled than in this pic.)

You should have done the roll on $50 rustoleum paint job. I have seen those turn out really really good with enough prep work and sanding

We tried. We REALLY suck at rolling paint lol.

It's all done and I've been dailying it for a couple twotree days or so. Got this done last night. Have already had people stop me and ask about it and "let me hear it!" Lol. Drop forks are finally in transit so I should have them soon, then I will do ground clearance pics for the "it will never lay out" dudes.

Also, with this pipe.. For those who remember my last one (exhaust clamped lame ass non-mandrel bend to the tip of the stock muffler..) This one is actually welded in place, with fabricated hangers that works quite well!

Haha I remember your first pipe like that

This one looks a lot better

[Earl]

You should polish that so it doesn't look so "backwoods"

Lol. Drop forks are finally in transit so I should have them soon, then I will do ground clearance pics for the "it will never lay out" dudes.

Hey, I never said it will never lay out, haha. I just said you will need more than drop forks. To lay frame/pan/belly or whatever you want to call it, is going to require some modification to your spindle or shock tower.
I'll admit those small diameter 15 inch tires are gonna get you reaaaallly close though. How close are you upper a arms to the shock towers right now?
Oh yeah, and I measured my jack points the other day and Im actually at about 1.5 inches. So you should only have like 1/2 and inch to go with the tire size you are running!!! 1/2 an inch between cars.....hmmm...I wonder if you can get that much variance between cars. But 1/2 inch isnt laying .

[Dremetos]

Pipe is going to be polished for sure, just working out kinks in the paint at the moment. A lot of waxing and wet sanding. Thanks for the positive words guys, I expected flame for the pipe hahaha

I'm so sad to see your RSX go! But the EK is looking really good. Funny you posted up that EF sedan, that's my homies old car. He has a Civic wagon now that's battleship grey, shit looks dope. Anyways progress is looking awesome, can't wait to see more pics.

Cut the flapper off. Kept rattling and getting attention. Had an unmarked cop in the town I work for RIP up behind me as I parked, but I was luckily out of the car. Fuck boy.

Here's a video of the exhaust for those of you concerned. Also a great how-to on how to treat your 20 year old Honda. Yep, she does what Hondas do best - burn oil.
