** Project Blackie** - Lots of Pics, DC4 CONTENT!!
cant wait to see the finished project in person.
Now let me start to say that the car is EXTREMELY dirty due to driving in the rain on Friday when i went to pick it up. It sucks 
When I went to get the Teg, it looked amaaaaaaazing. Didn't get to take many pics because I was going through everything done to it. But I have a few.
but yea, the following pics are with the car dirty, and needing one more step of polish after the paint has fully cured. Will be going to get that done in 2 weeks.
But yea...when i got there...shitty cam FTL!
ahhh. i was in love....then it rained. BOOOO.
Also I received a scary little surprised once I drove off, my splash guard came off. Bad installation or too much slammage. Either way, body shop is getting me a new one for Free. No damage to paint at all, phewwwph
Then headed over to DTP to get some work done
What was going on?
Subframe and Front camber kit. Woot
There's no sway bar because I haven't purchased one yet...and one of the bolts broke from when we put on the rear suspension at Paul's place, so the stock one isn't on
and Camber kit....alignment this week for sure
*** shot...I definitely need to do something about my exhaust.
Now...Gsr blades are nice. They shine beautifully and all but I was getting bored of them. So in January I picked up a set of rims for a good deal. I like 'em but now everyone has them due to sales at every Import parts shop. But HA! I got them for less than their sale price and they're next to mint. bahahah.
Enkei RPF1's. Got "custom" Purple stickers from Shinzo Werks
And....lug nuts. Got these for a retarded deal. Like...these are worth 250 or some crap..i got them for WAY less. In the double digit numbers, bahah. And yes, they're legit
Also, after from Deleting the Antenna, i went to Level 12 to get a "sticky antenna". So, now I don't have something ugly in the rear.
Don't mind the bad tint, its getting removed
Now, if you look up at my original pics....you can see the front end looks kinda blaish. I hate the oem corner lights. They look like ----, its either amber or nothing. But I went one step up. Si-vtec braaaaah. They're from the OEM Honda Integra from 93-94 in Japan right before they changed the front to the JDM front in 1995. They didn't make these in Canada or the US, so they're hard to find.
Picture time
you can refer to these as before and after photos from the First page of my thread.
And now work done. Don't mind the dirt in the pics, car hasn't been washed really. Also, it is missing one more stage of polish, the paint does look orange peelish, needs the paint to cure to fully get it to its potential.
No more rusty Spoiler or emblems
Bye Bye antenna
No more extreme fade on the roof
New Door Handle thanks to Bossmon
New metal on both sides. Yes, its dirty
No more severely faded hood
And then later on I was taking my little bro to work...and I passed along a street that Neon Dave and Nizmo are familiar with. Pretty much we took pics here the day before my last teg went to *****. Here are some pics I took
No updates for a while. I'm broke till Friday. But I have a few things from the UK coming in
Photoshoot anyone?

Was glad to see the car in person yesterday, it looks really sweet. Take care of the paint and you'll be happy for years to come
I'm still in the works for getting the car detailed, I have a billion swirl marks I have to get rid of, but she still shines real good.

Yea, mine has no flake at all. Looks pretty damn dope without it. Just straight black, love the look at night. Its just BLACK BLACK. Black wheels set it off too. But they won't be on for long.

Thanks man.
No major updates. Car came in for the last polish. And I can now wash her how I please WOOOOT
i need a better camera , damn you Blackberry!
Unfortunately mother nature seems to be taking a ---- on all of us, so can't even enjoy minty looking paint SUN WHERE ARE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
Also, after the polish a few maintenance things were done, car got a new Catalytic converter and Bosch secondary O2 sensor. And the body shop installed and replaced the brand new passenger side splash guard for free
Still needing a damn alignment, but my debit and visa card were frozen from Monday so i've been super tight on cash. GRR.
But anywho. Plans so far for the car? Well I have an Energy Suspension Master Polyurethane Bushing Kit that is gonna be my next big project.
Gonna do ALL the bushings. Ill probably be out of a car for a day or so from it. Just need to find a shop to do it at, thats all. Doing it simply because I don't like 15 year old bushings on a stiff suspension, and because I can. Too much flexing around is gonna get them cracking really quick. It should also stiffen up the body nicely. All in due time, gotta get the funds back up.
That's all for now
