[Peking]

How low is the drop, and where did you get the hood?

[bigcase]

hey, how did you go about painting your rims? paint? process? i want to do that to my stockers, cuz i still use em to take long trips. hook a brotha up.

[RiCeCoOkEr1280]

Atlas, the drop is approx. 1.75 all around. The hood is made by VIS and I bought it from Chuck at Showstoppers.

bigcase, here's a link on instructions. Someone posted it already.
Painting Rims (http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=610&highlight=wheel)

[CleanBlackSi02]

You should have kept the Rota's and taken off the Evo decals. No offense, but it looks crappy now.

[TightEP3]

the flat black stocks make it look a little cheap.....99 si stocks and mesh gs-r wheels look okay painted dark but our ep3 stocks painted black look cheap...IMO

[ShowstoppersUSA]

Yo P-dog! Hey you got any pics of the shift knob? Lemme see foo! Post em up! You gonna get new wheels or keep em painted stock? Still lookin good though!

[RiCeCoOkEr1280]

Hey rocky... I'll get pics up as soon as I can. As far as the rims, it's just a temporary thing until I save up enough for some M5's.

[golferjn]

[BlackJDMep]

[Civicvtec1ps]

looks awesome props
dyno?

[DoMeStIk LoU!]

yo Paul, hows the car running ?? any problems with that Turbo ?? LMAO..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..

"X pAuL 1280 X: i still think it's detonating"

should have just got the M3..

:'( :'( :'( :'(

[RiCeCoOkEr1280]

Car's running better now. It's alot of fun to drive now. Turns alot of heads since there aren't too many people in Carson w/ a turbo'd car. :D I'm gonna wait 'till I get an intercooler before I get it dyno'd. Epnezay has already dyno'd it w/ just the kit and exhaust so I'm assuming I'm around the same power range.

[WHT02CIVICSI]

hey ricecooker what kinds of problems did u have w/ ur turbo? i got the same kit and mine is a piece of shit. greddy is sending me a new e manage.

[StrangeShadow]

car looks great

[RiCeCoOkEr1280]

WHT02CIVICSI - check the vendor sales section under the greddy turbo kit post

Stangeshadow- Thanks :D

[Suk02Si]

Sexy :)

[Makross]

just plain sick

[USMCSI PT.2]

Hey man how do you like that seat? How is the fitment and comfort? That seat looks sick in their man.

[RiCeCoOkEr1280]

The seat is excellent. It is VERY comfortable. You can feel the car handle more. I think after I get an intercooler & tune my car, I'm gonna get a better suspension setup, probably tein basic dampers & spoon tower/rear bars.

[USMCSI PT.2]

Yeah I'm I little afraid to get a full seat like that becuase my butt might not like it. See I'm not fat or anything but I am running the Type Flex's on bad city streets and my stock seats are doing a pretty good job of keeping my back straight.

Maybe because they are designed better though it might be okay. Is there actually alot of padding on the bottom seat cushion? Can you get those little BRIDE pillow head rest things with that seat?

[StrangeShadow]

simply awesome!

[RiCeCoOkEr1280]

We just installed the Spearco Rev Hard intercooler yesterday and took of the restricter gasket. It raised my boost from 6.5 to 8 psi and it pulls HARD!!!! My car is running flawlessly... Here are some pics:


http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid81/p5b7866863c86aa1f6217660f775bc3d5/faf647d6.jpg

The blow off valve was relocated:

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid81/p46ae357f2f9b03b8b656fc9f7e6b3ac7/faf6a7bd.jpg

Thank you very much Chuck, Nate, Rocky, the people from Showstoppers, Miles and the peeps at Rev Hard. Those w/ the Greddy kit and want an intercooler call up Showstoppers at 818.243.0954... Trust me, YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!! I'll get dyno numbers up soon....

Beautiful car. What size turbo did you use? And how much was it? Have you taken it to the track yet?

[RiCeCoOkEr1280]

Thanks. The turbo is a T517Z that comes w/ the Greddy kit. As far as pricing, call up Showstoppers @ 818.243.0954. Chuck'll help you out. I plan on taking it to the track soon. Dyno #'s will be up soon.

[rice_eater GT]

good shit. your car is coming together.
i'm totally jealous of that seat, biter. ;)
the intercooler looks pretty sweet, it's all stealth and shit.

[dcolon02]

Also where did you get the carbon fiber dash kit? :D

[RiCeCoOkEr1280]

Originally posted by dcolon02

Honda :D It came w/ the car

[super_si_45]

how hard was it to get the gauges in the dash like that? i know mostly just trimming, but did u have any problems with the farbon ciber cover or anything?

[RiCeCoOkEr1280]

It wasn't that hard at all w/ a rotary tool... Probably took about an hour tops.

[super_si_45]

cool, looks great bro ;)

[RiCeCoOkEr1280]

Thanks :D

[StrangeShadow]

did you relocate the hazard light and sig-lighter? or decide to go w/out?

[RiCeCoOkEr1280]

I just pulled the harness down so the button is actually right underneath the fuses.

[sniperSI]

LMAO!!!! I'll get dyno #'s up friday afternoon. I have an appointment w/ Church Automotive this Friday @ 2:30:D

[RiCeCoOkEr1280]

Just got back from Church Automotive........................
She's making 221 whp 209 ft/lbs @ 7 psi... Here's the printouts:

http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/i=wMTc1NDQ1NnM0MTNkZmQzMXk1NDE%3D
http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/i=wMTc1NDQ2NnM0MTNkZmQzMXk1NDE%3D

The second pass was lower obviously cuz it was hotter. Sean (owner of church) said the car's runnin' hella rich, reason why the graphs aren't smooth. You could see it's low on the second pic. Until I get that password from Kenji, it's gonna be like that cuz the emanage can't be tuned w/out it. So there you are people. Greddy kit w/ intercooler makes 221whp & 209 ft/lbs. I'm hella satisfied :D Oh and btw, if we were to raise the boost to 10 psi, it would easily hit 250whp. Just some food for thought ;)
