LilSparkPlug:
Thanks! Lol you should see me around town and campus especially, I get smiles, pointing, and tons of double takes. Hey! Someone has to bring the holiday spirit

OB:
You got it! They aren't quite dry yet, but if you want some as they are than I can do that.

neonsslg09:
LOL! Yes yes I know, POSSIBLY when I put up the mirrors

On a side note, I can't get these damn L.E.D lights to solder to the freakin HVAC copper!

Change the type of solder you're using? I can imagine it must be funny as hell. It looks cute on the Neon though.

Well after a bit of a update, went to the junkyard today and found some cool things, all off of 02 SE models

Visor with vanity lamp for the girl

Traction control button:

Rear view mirror with compass and temp? Also the lights and flip to remove glare are better

Also picked up a headliner with some handles!

!

What will be for-sale is:
Rear view mirror
and
"OH Sh!t" handles with clips ($35 shipped)

On another note: Boostin 10 PSI lately, and pulls great! Gettin some new plugs (2 step colder NGK's) and mess with my MAP clamp and will bring it to 13ish

Careful buddy. Getting close to danger zone.

And nice find on the rearview, very rare piece you have.

Nice finds. The neons from junkyards always seem to have better goodies than most of our cars come with for some reason. lol

Here's some quick pics, non cell phone finally

Engine is still under construction.

Side view mirror painted (looks funny from flash), wheels, and projectors

I like the way the wheels came out.

He Hate Me · Post by **He Hate Me** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 7:09 pm

A long but needed update!

I hate my unsightly wheel gap with these springs! I want bigger tires, and coil-overs

Speaks for itself

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 7:32 pm

Wow what springs are those? That's an awfully uneven drop I've never seen anything like that. I love the way the wheels came out I would agree on larger tires. You need a lip kit

He Hate Me · Post by **He Hate Me** » Thu Jan 21, 2010 9:17 am

Thanks for the compliment LilSparkPlug!

Haha, we don't talk about those springs, those were back in my "stupid" days

.
I wanted the 'sleeper look' but I've been told by a lot of friends I'm way beyond that point with the intercooler and gold wheels lol.
I kinda want a lip kit, and kinda don't. I don't know if the front would look very good since I cut out the middle grill, which the lip kit continues on. Undecided on the rear, but it would look good I think (rather have a SRT rear), but I extremely want side skirts! Whether it be SRT or R/T.

This year should be a good year for some upgrades this is what I'm thinking so far:

2.4 DOHC Head
Megasquirt v2
Coilovers
SRT or R/T side skirts
50 series tires

Nice looking car man. What kind of rotors are you using?

Tam · Post by **Tam** » Thu Jan 21, 2010 10:35 am

Wow, car is looking great!!! Front needs to drop down a little more. And the hood fitment needs a little fixing.

Other than that, keep it up!

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Thu Jan 21, 2010 11:41 am

I honestly think you could run the lip kit without those pieces. Cut them out if you will....I think it would look just fine. It may look fine with them in there also. The rear lip kit and sides would look great. I think all of the rest of your plans sound great as well!

Undesolved · Post by **Undesolved** » Thu Jan 21, 2010 2:37 pm

i don't think his hood fitment is off i just think he just didn't close it all the way like he still has it propped up slightly

neonslg09 · Post by **neonslg09** » Thu Jan 21, 2010 2:48 pm

When did you cut your bumper like mine and louis' car? Looks good

He Hate Me · Post by **He Hate Me** » Thu Jan 21, 2010 3:27 pm

Panhead: Thanks man. They are EBC slotted and dimpled rotors. They seem to work decent.

Tam: Thanks! Going to be working on that very soon.

LilSparkPlug: I'm think about this: 02 ACR front bumper with a molded Civic lip, I dunno why but these are very appealing to me! I just don't like 02 headlights

But if that idea doesn't happen I'm going to use your idea and get the whole lip kit, with SRT skirts.

The 2.4 DOHC head should be done soon aswell with the Megasquirt

Undesolved: Sadly, that is the hood closed. The drivers side headlight needs to be fixed because its slightly tucked under the fender because I fubard the mounting tabs, but going to fix it with something; Gorilla Glue?

The hood is messed up because my intercooler piping is ran over the engine and is 2.5", which was barely too big

neonslg09: Thanks. I cut it 2 years ago, when I first ran a SRT-4 turbo.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Thu Jan 21, 2010 3:28 pm

The whole lip kit would be cheaper with paint than molding unless you have someone who can mold for you cheaply. I was originally going to do the 02 bumper swap, but the 03+ with lip grew on me

maybe you could chop it to see how it would look on there? Or take a straight on shot of another car and cut it's grille out. Lemme see if I can try it.

*edit* I am by no means great at photoshop hence my inability to put an IC in the grille section. I think with the IC in that section it would look worlds better. And I suck at changing colors so I did it the ghetto way...but it worked LOL rough idea at best

He Hate Me · Post by **He Hate Me** » Fri Jan 22, 2010 12:03 pm

Thank you LilSparkPlug! I'm really digging the bottom pic with the lip kit grille also cut out. Like you said, I think it'll look better with the intercooler in there aswell.

So good news is, I'm acquiring a 2.4 DOHC head and going to order the lip kit next week!

Looks like I'm going to have to order:
DOHC Timing Belt
DOHC Head bolts
DOHC Headgasket
DOHC Intake/Exhaust Gaskets
DOHC Turbo Exhaust Manifold

Have a buddy with a extra SRT intake manifold so tha'ts good.

It's going to be a great year

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Fri Jan 22, 2010 1:04 pm

Awesome!! Glad my ghetto chops could help you out some! Just make sure that when you put the front lip kit on, you paint that section of the bumper black so it blends better. Otherwise....it'd look kinda funny. Can't wait to see it all come together.

He Hate Me · Post by **He Hate Me** » Fri Jan 29, 2010 9:25 pm

Well some news...
Ordered the lip kit today, and it will be here tomorrow!

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Fri Jan 29, 2010 9:43 pm

Then get it painted and put it on!
