Was probably just using Eagle One WET Wax As-U-Dry that day. < http://www.eagleone.com/products/products.asp?catid=5002 > It hadn't even been waxed for the first in those pics.

As soon as I get a chance to wash my ride...I hope to have some more sweet pics to share. I recently waxed it for the first time using jaydub's multi-step wax process:
1) Clay Bar
2) 3M Swirl Mark Remover (for dark cars) - this will help your swirl marks or water spots IMMENSELY
3) Klasse All-In-One
4) Klasse Sealer Glaze
5) Blitz One Grand Carnuba

I will use Eagle One Wet products after I get it washed. Can't wait to share the pics of it afterwards! :)

BTW, thanks Mike! :D

Thanks! I like the Progress springs and don't have any pics of the springs installed with stock wheels...if that's what you mean. You can click on my Honda webpage link below and see a couple of pics of it with stock wheels and no springs. I got new wheels first thing. I take it you mean G'ville, FL (Gators) not G'ville, GA...I live in Georgia. :) Thanks again and have a good one!

HondaMan

Honda man your car is really sweet lookin. Everytime i see it i fall in love more and more. I am waiting till the end of March/ Beg of april to buy the suspension and rims for my car. I might just buy the ctr kit also, but i'll have to see how my finances are at that time. Once i am finished with school here i'll be moving back to the ATL. So by oct-nov i'm there.

WOW!! Thats the cleanest black honda si I have ever seen!
Even factory si's don't look that clean. I had mine for about a month now and it has bad swirls in it from the dealership. I need to wax it but I havent had time .
You have the best black si I have ever seen! Great job on detailing.

Thanks neighbor! Well, I've been lazy and putting off paying for my GA plates (OR plates are only $30) but I got my GA drivers license today and should get my plates within the next 2 weeks. I'm getting pestige plates that say JP EP3. :)

Got the red Honda emblem decal from Adam here. I need to get some more, since I jacked up the first 1 with air bubbles and the 2nd you see could be better aligned & its missing a chunk @ the bottom right. :(

Nice looking car. Do you need to use camber correction kit with the progress spring that you currently have in your car. I'm just curious since it seems the drop is about 1.5 inch. Thanks.

Yes, a rear camber (only) is needed. Thanks!

I got them here from DownTheHatch (this website's owner), but last time I checked they were not available. Contact DTH to find out for sure.

Thanks...I'll have some new pics next week after my Tein Basics and Injen CAI installs. I also waxed it big time about 2 weeks ago and looks awesome (better than normal)! ;) However, I got paint overspray (from driving somewhere) and spent over 1 hour using my clay bar to get off the paint. So, I basically need to rewax the front bumper and hood...Grrr! :( Also, sometime this week my front windshield will be replaced (damn rocks)! :mad: O well, stay tuned for more (updated) pics next week! :)

Thanks, I liked my old wheels a lot as well but I'm about light weight and performance now over just looks. The gunmetal C8s (12 lbs.) have want I want in a wheel now and they still look good IMO. I really like the Injen, just need the MagnaFlow and maybe a header to really get things breathing good. ;)

Beefy? I guess because they are 50 series tires and have very stiff sidewalls (for Autocross events).

Just had to add my bit --

I see so many rides on here with 16" rims and larger, and I was surprised to finally find one with C8's in 15". I was thinking of getting 16's, but shit, those 15's look good, so I'm probably changing my mind.

HondaMan
04-06-2004, 08:02 PM
