Doin work.

Dropping it?

[MikeW]

Dropping it?

No....

Yellow Lamin-X and Broadway mirror (270mm blue flat)

[MikeW]

Still yet to do work with the Lamin-X. Im lazy, what can I say?

Got a nice little surprise on it's way. Probably gonna take a few weeks to get here. Well, I dont know. How long does it usually take things to get here from the UK...?

[MikeW]

I need to re-aim them. I guess in the pics, as usual, they dont look like they do IRL. They're not super-ultra-mega YELLOW, but I can tell a difference in color while driving. Next Im gonna try either a Nokya yellow bulb or maybe even just 3000K HIDs.

[Clean_4th gen]

Very nice fogs. Are they wired to your headlights or do you have a separate switch for them?

[MikeW]

Both, lol. OEM switch. OEM install says they can only be on with headlights but I wanted the option to have them on with the parking lights, so I had to do a mod. Unfortunaely[??] that mod keeps them on when I flip on my highbeams.

:/

[MikeW]

A little update....

Good.

[jhoff]

Noticed that your an Fbook friend.
Clean ride, going to lower it?
Other than that, debadge and enjoy

[MikeW]

Debadge? Nevar!

Eh, the thought has crossed my mind. It came with gold emblems but they were all pitted and gross so I went out and bought new silver ones. Hell, I have the "V6" badge on their and fools still try to race me. So I guess, either way, it wouldn't matter, lol.

Im trying for a nav unit in the next coming weeks and then i'll be working on suspension. More than likely going Koni Yellows and GC sleeves set to a certain rate. Currently trying to find out how much extra custom rates will cost, if anything, and then just saving for them.

[Shadow1]

Now I see why your taking so long on the suspension. Lol. I STILL haven't got mine dropped. Haha. Just waiting to get the right set up. I want the drop so bad I even thought of cutting the springs or buying ebay coilovers. Ugh....


But I stopped and told myself I wanna do this car right this time. Not go thru 5-6 different suspension set ups like my CB. The Koni/GC set up sounds like a good way to go. But why go that route when you can have a full coilovers set up for less?

[MikeW]

I like to do things right, even if it costs more money. That's just my prerogative.

If I do suspension, it's gonna either be F2T2 or Koni/GC or Koni/Eibach.

The Koni's are like $250-$300 all day long. Eibachs are a little more than that and the GCs we dont know yet. Probably not that expensive either. Last I checked, T2s go for close a grand. Either of the Koni setups will cost 2/3 that.

Trust me. Ive spent a good amount of time talking to Adam(mndude07) about suspension and we both concluded that a spring/shock combo would suit my needs/wants best.

And it's one of those things that's gonna be hard for me to pull the trigger on. This is my ONLY car. My DD. I drive to work in this thing, I grocery get in this thing, I drive long distances in this thing, I drive in the snow in this thing. So any suspension work has to be able to handle those conditions. Plus, in my mind, a drop plays with the overall re-sale-ability of the vehicle. If I dont play with suspension, I can sell it to any ordinary Joe Shmoe. However, in my mind, if I do a drop or any major suspension work, no ordinary Joe Shmoe is gonna want the car. And that lessens my chances of selling and narrows the field of buyers. Not that I plan on selling it anytime soon but in the off-chance that I do or need to, I dont want to have to sit on it forever, waiting for some kid who wants a lowered Honda to come along and buy it from me.

konis and h/rs would be a sweet set up
