Ya I wanted the FI from the start but I got a really good deal on the Ark. I will see how it looks coated if I don't like I will sell and get an FI. As far as the install help I would love to its just no way the CBE would fit in my car :tiphat:

Huck 07-05-2013 10:32 PM

Oh true that, I forgot about that part lol. Well the offer still stands, if you need help installing something or just working on the car I'm always down. I love working on cars in general, and especially ours. Feel free to hit me up anytime. I'll check back here in a few days to see how everything is going :tup:

You can fit the exhaust if you are alone, just put bubble wrap on your passenger side seat and put the box there. I've done it ;)
Ps-huck, you're awesome! :tiphat:

PM your charge for ark and g3 install :tup: My car wont be ready for least two weeks because my headlights are in cali getting painted and I need those to be returned so they can finish fitting the fly 1 fenders. They got my new JDM tails last week so they should be able to put the rep amuse bumper on this coming week. I almost thought of selling the rep amuse and getting Shine auto rear add ons....

just got these back from the powder coater today... They turned out amazing black with the burnt tips... Not sure I am going to mount them because I still want the FI ( I think). If they don't sell I am just going to mount these...

Win win :happydance:

Huck 07-08-2013 08:34 PM

That looks sweet! Very nice indeed :tup: I just got back from the powdercoater myself, they quoted me $80 to do my strut bar and tow hook pearl white to match my car. Does that sound like a good price to you? This is my first time getting anything powdercoated.

Sounds pretty good to me...It maybe a tad high but I mean we are talking $10-15 dollars. I decided to coat the rims I got from you because my 19's turned out soooooooo amazing I wanted to keep them. So I am taking the
20's in tomorrow to be coated. I will take my tow hook as well just to see what the quote me! Check out my 19's I sold them soon as I posted the pic! I also attached the 20's because these look so bland next to my sexy 19's I was like that's it back to the coater!

Finally my stickers are here. The body shop had them for two weeks put them in my file and forgot. They found them today... Now DIY painted calipers are complete....

Now I will take these back to the bodyshop pick up my 20's and take them to the powder coater....:excited:

Huck 07-08-2013 10:41 PM

true that, I'll look forward to pics once they're done! As far as the powdercoating goes for me, as long as it's under $100 for those two things I'm happy. I may also have him do my Stillen intakes as well, not sure yet...

Z_bro 07-08-2013 11:31 PM

I was thinking the same for the intakes cause mine got delivered today...But I can spend money in a lot of other places first :)

Your price for the tow hook and strut bar was solid. I paid $30 dollars for my tow hook....

I am going to try to build my own GT wing out of assorted parts... This will be fun!

So INGs z power wouldn't sell the mounts etc separately (not shocked the mounts is the only cool part of their wing):shakes head: but APR did :excited:. So I just bought all the mounting brackets and GTC 300 wing end plates. I bought an used carbon blade off ebay a guy bought a car and it came with it. The brackets were broken so that's why I bought all the APR brackets and wing end plates. I will finish it off with everything sprayed gloss black. All the parts cost me $350 shipped. So if my home made wing turns out like crap Ill sell it on craigs list and prob make my money back or I will find a civic at night and mounted for free and video tape the lucky winner and have it go viral on youtube :rofl2: I know my wing is not going to give me proper downforce etc but I'm bored and it seemed like a fun project!

Yes I know rice comments are coming (i'm confident with my inner rice) :tup:

Edited from earlier post because I found a cheap carbon blade...

Found a guy on ebay selling his carbon wing... He bought a used car and it was on it and he removed. I offered him a $100 shipped...He didn't know brand but I was ok with that because I just needed the blade I already have the APR mounts and Wing end plates. Bad pic because the ebay mouse over pics save small and it got blurry when I made it bigger.

Huck 07-14-2013 08:32 AM

Nice! Good find man! Ive found a spoiler I want, but won't be able to get it any time soon, it's like $2500 lol

yea i'm not paying that much that is why I decided to part out my own Gt wing. I really like the Voltex Type 3 but I am just not shelling out that much. Also I enjoy looking for the pieces if it doesn't turn out I feel I can pawn it off on a civic owner! :rofl2:

Sway Bars
 
Waiting for quotes on Stillen and Hotckis sways...:excited:

Read Stillen is better for DD and Hot better for track. I'm going with best price I don't track but if I get the better deal on hotchkis I will get those. I prob will test the marketplace to see if I can score a pair there...

Huck 07-16-2013 01:40 PM

They're not the cheapest sways, but Whitelines are the best sways in my opinion :tup: search the forum for reviews, a lot of people swear by them.

Rear GT Wing
 
The carbon fiber rear GT wing I bought off ebay got delivered today. I was shocked how nice it is. I bought new mounting brackets because one was missing but the blade was really nice. It did have one scratch on it but (not too bad) but if it can't buff out the carbon I will paint it gloss black. He will be doing a test fit tomorrow!

The guy I bought it from bought a used car and it was on there and he doesn't like wings. I bought for a $100. This is not the wings ebay sells but still not sure the brand. I will just by the Voltex stickers for the wing ends :)

Pics to come :happydance:

Huck 07-25-2013 04:56 PM

I'm interested in the pics, I might do the same thing. I really want the APR gtc cf wing, but it's $1300. I also want the Esprit cf wing, but it's like $2700 :(

Really considering Supercharger..Suggestions Stillen or GTM??

Z_bro 08-03-2013 11:22 PM

My readings lean towards GTM....

Z_bro 08-04-2013 12:56 PM

Been reading on superchargers for the last 10 hours all the FI options scare me considering its my dd. Also I think I have too many miles now with 30k....Just sold my Stillen G3's I was seriously considering buying the stillen sc from the member but the tune scared me away...
