ok, I'm getting my car back from the body shop tonight after EXTENSIVE repair work from my accident a month ago (12K worth), and I'm finally ready to let you guys tell me how poopy my car is. Pictures will be up this weekend, hopefully, assuming I have time to get it all up before I go to Amsterdam next week.. otherwise you can make fun of me when I get back in May.

for now, here's a list of mods:

On the Ground:
-Brakezone/Wilwood 12.2" big brake kit with forged calipers
-JIC full-coilover suspension (about 2" lower than stock right now)
-Neuspeed front X-brace
-16x7.5 wheels with 32 offset (weigh 14.9lbs each)
-Yokohoma Parada Spec II 205/45/16

GO-Go:
-Injen CAI
-Neuspeed short shifter with Razo spherical aluminum knob
-custom NO MUFFLER (lol)
-JIC stainless muffler with silencer and 2.5 custum bent piping when I get back from Europe

Looks:
-Buddy Club III body kit (copy)
-JDM headlights

Safety:
-JDM front and rear bumper supports
-Lojack

Looks great man. Beautiful egg :) They did a really nice job with the paint on it. Even the lines look perfect minus the driver side headlight. That may be from the body kit though. Regardless, its very nice. The N1 muffler will make the back look even more aggressive.

Go take measurements on your suspension. The right rear looks a bit low, hard to tell from the pics. BTW, gotta teach you that art too. Maybe in Europe i ll give you a couple tits...eeeerrrrr TIPS ;)

4 stars from me :p

The ride looks good. Need to tint the windows some. The bodykit looks good. Are the JIC's EP specific or did you have to modify them any? And of course, I am jealous of the brakes. I have been waiting for months to get mine, but I just can't afford them yet. They are next though!

Good Job.

Ziel motorosports finally broke down and opened up a box of complete coilovers to get the parts that I needed. I think they're STILL waiting for the replacements to show up from Japan.

The JIC suspension is built for the RSX, but since our car is identical, very minor modifications were needed to make it fit. I'm SO happy with the suspension that I can't say enough good things about it. Just don't break it because parts are 1)expensive and 2)hard to get from Japan

I work in Sunset Park.
Your car looks good with that kit on it. I'll be getting my JDM kit in July. Along with the suspension and rims. What size are your rim and tire package.

black EP, stock.. right?

I think I've seen the car around here.. not too many Ep's around.

the tires are 205/45/16 yokohama parada spec II.. pretty happy with the size.. though not really with the tires, they aren't very good in cold weather... though we'll see what happens in the summer though.. waiting to autocross.
