Started with this for my front wheel. All my others look great so they won't be touched. Anyways.

Start:

Got to here with the powerball. Just wasn't going to get the lip well enough.

So I bought the cone.

And the battery died on my drill so this is where the wheel will stay until tomorrow. Not bad.

80% of my cleaning supplies. This is getting out of hand.

Absolutely beautiful day out. So I decided to go a cruise. Gave Lana a good wipe down, not a wash, and hit the road. Here are a few pics I took. Not sure why the camera on my phone made the pictures like this, but oh well.

Bought these bad boys dirt cheap. They look rough, but they are solid. The collectors were banded to the offroad Y. So it's just carbon build up. I'm going to clean them up and paint them black. But these guys will work well.

No cash in my wallet today and it was raining. So I did the cheap mans way of washing. Put some meguiars in a spray bottle as soaped it down and let the rain do its work lol

Used the California blade to wipe her off and looks good to me! lol

Guy offered me a trade for a silver 87 auto corvette. Absolutely not. GTFO

Haha, I wouldn't have traded him either!

Looks like the rain did a good job. I'll have to try that one time!

Well I put some new speakers and amp in the car because I was tired of only listening to 2 tweeters in the car. So the stereo sounds nice.

The car will be going to the shop for tint, probably next weekend.

I've also found a guy with a set of wheels that I want. It's a commercial phone number so I didn't get a hold of them over the weekend. Will be calling on my lunch break and hopefully able to meet up and buy the wheels.

Finally I've begun to narrow down my parts list for the brake swap. Still undecided on using the 4 or 6 piston calipers.

So there is an update for now.

Ive wanted one of these things for a long time. Probably the cleanest one I have seen.

You can find an auto one for about $5k if you know where to look. But a M6 car will cost you between 7-9k depending on mileage.

I love this car as a toy, but would never want one as a daily driver.

If I got one it would have to be a manual, auto is no fun.

Auto is what you want building a race car. But I want a fun car, so I wouldn't settle for an auto. It's a whole different car from auto to manual.

Well this kit popped up for a STEAL. Had to buy it. Brand new kit.

 

[Maximized4Door]

Fucking a that's beautiful. How much?

 

[tipnitty]

$700 at my door. Picking up a new set of wheels this weekend.

Thank you sir. The trans am is a completely different animal. The civic is fun to go through hills and relax. But it doesn't begin to feel like the torque and power of a RWD car. After being screwed over so many times on parts I gave up trying to get parts. New parts just cost too damn much for a 10 year old civic.

I love my civic for being a DD car and it hasn't let me down.

Someone asked for a pic for scale.
