Looks nice, good and clean. You don't get any attention from the cops with the non-amber turn signals?

Welcome to the board, fellow owner from GA I see.

The only reason I don't get attention from the cops is due to the orange flashy things on the side. As long as you have something amber on your car, clear turn signals are okay - a cop told me that one night when we got busted for tray sliding (we took the opportunity to ask a million and one questions.) He ended up letting us off with a warning not to do it again.

As for mods... I don't really have that many:

.:Exterior:.

-JDM Civic Type R Honda Emblems (Front and Back)
-APC Clear Bumper Lenses
-Xenon Hyper White Turn Signals
-Xenon Hyper White Parking Lights
-Xenon Hyper White Bumper Lights
-Xenon Hyper White Headlights
http://rancidracing.com/alesiacasdorph/front.jpg


.:Interior:.

-Formula One Titanium Tint 20% All Around
-Red Honda Steering Wheel Emblem
-Honda S2000 Start Engine Button

http://rancidracing.com/alesiacasdorph/redwheel.jpg


.:I.C.E.:.

-Kenwood KDC-MPV619 MP3 Player


.:Engine:.

-Custom Hand-painted Red Engine Shields
-AEM Cold Air Intake
http://rancidracing.com/alesiacasdorph/redengine.JPG
.:Rollers:.

-I have a rear strut bar on the way as well as ADR 17" Concept rims in gunmetal.

Not bad for a hand job!!:D


Any details??

Was the emblem easy to install or did you shave part of the one to get it to fit nicer?

Was the emblem easy to install or did you shave part of the one to get it to fit nicer?

Actually the JDM emblems fit in the spots perfectly. I used dental floss to get behind them (wiggling it back and forth) and loosen the glue enough to pry it off with a flat head screwdriver (bc of the prongs that they have). I was being laughed at the whole time by the guys b/c the dental floss kept breaking. I should have used a hairdryer on it first to heat the glue up a bit so it would be looser. The front one still has the cross pattern thing on it since I was too lazy to try and get it off. I just peeled the plastic thing off the back of the red emblems and stuck em on and held them in place for about 20 seconds. Are you thinking about getting some? I like them as do the rest of the people in the forum it seems as everyone is getting 'em.

The one on my steering wheel is actually a sticker. I refuse to pay $150 to replace the whole center part just for an emblem right now. I have exterior styling to focus on.

The cover was the hardest thing to paint. We ended up with a bad can of paint and had to resand it and prime it a million times over it seems. We did my friend's Acura CL as well, but the white paint seems to turn yellow with time.

But the finished products were awesome. = ) Mine also perfectly matched the AEM CAI that I purchased afterwards. Too bad you can't really see it at all.

Hey girl it's Chris, I 'm glad you checked out the site! Did you order the rear-upper strut from e-bay? If you did, you won't be sorry.

I've seen the car in person but I'll say it again, nice ride and I love the start button. :p

bratkat64
07-27-2003, 07:38 PM
heya! Well I had checked the site before, but I was never able to post. I had to create a new username. We ordered the rear strut bar but we still haven't gotten it yet. How long did it take for you to get yours? I have rims on order as well. ADR 17" Concept Gunmetal - very sweet - $380. = )

Since the last time you have seen my car I hit a trash can on 85 sb and something flew up from a car in front of me and slashed my front bumper. I hate georgia sometimes....

We pulled the bumper off for the first one. The second one was a gash, so there was no easy fix for that one.

07-28-2003, 05:23 AM
yeah I know. We've dubbed it the daily driver bumper b/c of all the damage on it. We have my si rims as my daily driver rims and my adrs (when we get them) are my weekend rims. Eventually they might make a blitz front end so I can actually do something with my car. In the meantime, I will just have to photoshop them on.

07-28-2003, 06:20 AM
That sux! my car has gotten rear ended since you saw it as well. And my strut bar took about a week.

StrangeShadow
07-29-2003, 05:14 PM
geez! that sucks. Hopfll you got the garbage can better than it got you.
I would have chased down the car, that something flew out of.
hope your luck turns around.

Rey
09-24-2003, 09:11 PM
www.rim1.com

4 205/40/17 for 200 bucks.

They are a local dealer and I think it's a smoken deal.



oops, my bad, they used to be 4 for 200, I wonder why they changed it. I will keep looking.

hey where did you get your clear side markers??? i like those better than mine, they dont look as "diamondy"? looks more like the old school clear lenses, let me know man, thanks

bratkat64
09-25-2003, 03:38 PM
Well they are quite diamondy. I got them from street beats customs or something. $14 + shipping.. so like $20 total. I cant find a good pic of them and I cant take any since I've been driving the GSX (eclipse) all day (my roomate took my baby!).

http://rancidracing.com/alesiaimages/civicmeet1.jpg
Maybe they just look better in pictures...

bratkat64, you said you would be down with our Nopi meet. But you never posted up. And here you are, with another ep owner. How could you do this to meeeeee...

That's it! We are over, do me a favor and lose my number missy.


Just kidding :D

He's the prez of my club in FL. That and we played a game of phone tag, finally hooking up after Nopi. We came to my place and played games. I wanted to chill with him when I came to FL yesterday, but there wasn't any time since I had tests and such. Damn college!

Here's Dustin's new playtoy. Anyone who knows what GSX means will appreciate it:

Peking
09-25-2003, 03:55 PM
It looks to be in good shape, how does it run?

bratkat64
09-25-2003, 03:59 PM
It's very very fun to drive. I'm falling for the eclipse! NOOO! Now I have to get my own GSX, but I like the 99s... and the turbo... *drool*

I never imagined a stock car could be that fun and I've driven a GST before (99 convertible - yum) and it wasnt as fast. I think the AWD definately gives it the extra fun factor. I laughed at the turning radius though. The gsx could run circles around my si doing donuts - lol.

If you ever meet with us again, remind me to grab his GSX, and maybe you can take a spin in her. She's the "race" car of the 7 cars we have (me and roomies). The 240sx will be the next car we get, then the 'lude or del sol. = )

bratkat64
09-25-2003, 04:06 PM
Well it runs okay. We had to have the stupid thing towed from Fl cause the engine would have caught on fire. It was pretty funny when I hopped in it to haul ass to a gas station, huge thing of white smoke made a truck slam on it's brakes. = )

It doesnt overheat anymore since the guys worked on it last night. We don't know what else is wrong. I'm sure we'll have a nice list tomorrow morning when we take it to get inspected with the laser. I need to get the pics of the two cars next to another. >_< 93 gsx and 93 laser. Same owner. = P Kinda funny seeing someone buy the same car twice.

bratkat64
09-25-2003, 09:55 PM
Well my problem right now is I have no moneys. = P
Once I get a job, I won't really care how much the tires cost cause I can afford them. *sigh* All the old people who have jobs need to retire or die! *mean*

I just want a job - I never thought college would keep me from having one. I hate my schedule. = (
