Tell me what you think......... I am going to paint it the same color, but I was thinking maybe doing the skirts and lips in a flat black (sorta like they are) I have new 03 si seats to go in very soon..... Then I plan on saving some money and boosting it (8pounds or so) Other than that it has an AEM cold air, AEM fuel rail, AEM cam gear, MSD ignition, 5Zeigen exhaust, Mugen header, Venom fuel injectors, Jackson Racing fuel pump, Venom Performance controller, Specialty products tubular A- arms, KYB AGX shocks and struts, Weapon R coilovers,Energy Suspension bushings, Mugen front lip, Buddy Club blue class back lip, Black Widow sides, Kaminari Wing, SIR mid wing, JDM headlights, Mugen grill All Rockford and Kicker Ice....yada yada yada........

IMHO, black rims are like black shoes, make you look like your running slow. All and all though, nice job from what is shown

Tell me you don't have your 400 Venom Performance Module in the engine bay while you drive, that was just the pictures right? How do you like it's performance, that module, I have it and took it off when I started spraying and now boosting but I wanted to hear other owners that have it, is it worth the money?

Other then that, I like the engine bay, clean, very clean.

i think it would look a lot better if you go down to Kragen and buy some of the silver rim spray paint, u just got TOO much black going on, in my opinion

1. ditch the snow board ramp on the roof
2. kill the led windshiled squirter
3. get rid of all the AEM advertisements
4. for God sakes man, learn how to NEATLY run the wires under your hood!

other than that its tight

Since most of you hate my car, i feel the same to you :shock: , however I did take some of your thoughts to heart and made some changes.

I have gotten rid of the ski rack and now have a type r wing.
I have rewired everything and it looks better than most everything I have seen on here.
I put my factory tail lights back in, I will put pics up soon.

:roll: Oh yeah.......forgot to mention, bought a supercharger, so now you all can get a real good look at my tail lights.

Oh golly, a supercharged y7...that sounds mean :twisted:

How did you paint the valve cover? I hate how mine looks, all corroded and such...

Honda4VW

I painted my valve cover with some of that high-temp paint they sell at napa. Used the primer, hte color coat, and the clear coat all high temp. After a lot of hard work on the car and lots of spills on the cover, it still looks great.

It is a serious pain in the ass, but it looks good if you have the time.

First you got to sand it down first with 200 grit then 400 then 600 if your anal.

I used that blue anodizing paint, I think they have red and green too, and I went over it like 4 times (if you can get an even coat with less it comes out more irredescent, like the AEM pipe) You dont even have to clear it, it comes out shinny and smooth. give it a quick wax and put it on the car.

I liked your car waaay more before you changed your own car because you got flamed... Be your own person... This is a great example of someone giving in to peer pressure. What's up with the death to rice comment... DEATH TO GAY D M!!!

where i come from .. altezzas are RICE and so are combat wings on hatches ... stock tailights and type r wing really helped that hatch out ... and if he loved his old taillights and wing, he would have told us to fuck off, but he didnt, and i respect him for that ... his car looks 10x better now

No way!!! I bet if no one talked shit, he would still have the same shit he had before. He gave in!!!

Nice car. It's going to be great once it's supercharged. Those are not real JDM headlights right? They look like black housing Ion headlights. Cool none the less. A real mugen lip!?!? Nice! I thought the c/f altezzas looked okay. The wing, I didnt like. I only like factory wings on coupes. Only factory wings on sedans... except for the mugen one. For hatches, I like CF duckbill spoilers, that's all. I don't like mid ones. Blahblahblah - I don't like alot of stuff. :lol: Don't like the red emblem on the back, but I'd still pimp the ride man. Nice work.

Ok, I have been out a few weeks, but lets get a few things straight. #1 I dont give in to NO ONE! The few of you that had the balls to man up and tell me whats up, props. For all of you still riceing out on the altezza, fast and furious tip, piss off! That red badge on the back of my car is one of the rarest mugen emblems you can find. IT STAYS! I am having some parts issues with the supercharger, I have it! Just missin some things, I have to sell some shizzit then, on we go. I will post some good pics soon.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it!

I like your car and thank you for cleaning up the wiring nightmare under the hood. One question, why do you have a "euro" hatch on your car? I mean it looks like your car is from europe because the license plate holder on the back is much bigger than it should be. Just wondering.

Sic_Vic97

12-29-2003, 04:55 AM

LMAO.....

Its a regular hatch with the plastic license plate housing missing. I leave it off b/c is rattled so much when my sub was on. Then my dad hit it with a lawnmower and subsquently I have not been able to find another one. Oh BTW did you guys know that the plastic license plate housings on hatches are different then the ones on the coupes? Yeah I found out AFTER i bought one a coupe one Ebay!

This is my hell......

LMAO....still a funny story though....

ru gonna cry now? I can do what I want, its one of those benifits of freedom. I didnt flame that kid anymore than he was already flaming. Youre right that wing did suck, I bought it back in the day, that is why I got rid of it. In any case I still dont look like a f**king skittle goin down the road. Those wires were horrible, I'll put that on the laziness tab, but when I got around to it, they got right. Hopefully I will find the parts I need for the spool, and you will see it soon!

Oh and what is with the Paintshop wing on the new SI?

Sic_Vic97

01-07-2004, 10:56 AM

im retarded. I meant that the other way, but you screwed me up with the eg9 because mine is an ek9. ANYway, he bought that wing from some guy in japan that already had painted it championship white. He is taking it to the paint shop on saturday.
