I've never had to use a filter wrench on my car :P I apply fresh oil to the filter rubber, tighten it hard enough that i can't easily turn it back and when the next change rolls around it's a breeze..

 

 

Sweet.

 

My HID kit thanks to DJTrini

And my CF hood thanks to Gillo

 

nice pick up get better picks thou lmao. stop using your shitty black berry.

 

 

hood pins arnt in so the hood it lifted a bit

 

the hood looks clean but watch for the pins the one i had the pins got all rusted and look like ----.

 

Ya one of the pins have a bit rust. I'm gonna swap them to the aluminum ones

 

ya because it looks like ---- after i dont know why they ever made them none aluminum,...

 

how much did you pick up the hood for? looks good.. when is it gunna be on the road?

 

Traded it for my OEM hood. straight trade, no cash involved.

The guy just wanted OEM.

I say july it will be good.

 

hood pin bolts arnt in yet. thats y there is a raise in the hood causeing a gap

 

looking really good man , where abouts did you find your hood and how much, i cant seem to find one anywhere thats just and oem cf

but shes looking really sick man

 

thanks bro. i traded it for my oem hood. straight trade

 

sick what a steal lol

 

Looking good man, when are those rims going on? That'll really set it off.

 

Gotta do my suspension and break system b4 i get tires.

 

mi wheels would look good hahaha

 

highest inch i would go is 16.

i was interested in ur rims to put on my moms car

 

you shouldnt have gotten rid of your old hood. cf hoods dont pass safety. FYI carbon fibre is really strong, and doesnt bend like metal in a collision. it will simply snap the hood bolts and go straight through the windshield lol.

Honestly, why are you spending money on lips and all that stuff, when your car still has shitty black primer, and steelies lol. you should invest you money in a really nice paint job, and even get some decent rims on there.

 

I don't know any shop that would not sign a safety for a car with a cf hood...

 

you ever tried? my brothers 97 lude has a cf hood, and he tried nuff places. he ended having to swap his old hood which was easy but still.. Mind you those were legit shops, im sure you could find someone to pass it. you can find someone to pass anything really.

 

yeah i have tried, and have passed them as well.

 

I passed safety with my DC when i had a cf hood.

and im not into paint and looking good. i just want to go fast. thats why im turboing it. and go a couple pages back. i did buy rims.GP racing GR6 rims.

 

ya i dont see why it wont pass safety if it has cf hood its still good.

 

i dont know where the hell you went or your brother went..but my car passed safety with my cf hood and others that i have cf hoods on their cars had passed safety as well..lotta cars on the road have cf hoods and doesnt seem to be a problem..and good work overdose..your da is coming along really goood..paint job and your ride looks sexy

 

Thanks everyone for backing me up lol.

And thanks karth. I really try and take pride in my work. my paint is crap. its flat black. but im going to take it into a body shop to get painted


Now, no more chatting:P

 

wait, you're spending all this time and money on an automatic DA? and you said a few pages back you want to do a b18c swap and now you're saying you're gonna turbo it? Please tell me you're doing a manual conversion soon...

 

i got everything i need to do a manual swap. But i think im going to backout on it.

I am turboing the DA. my goal is to get 400whp. And it will be done.

 

^^better be with a manual transmission, otherwise you'll be swapping auto trans often.

 

not if you build the tranny aswell. and change the torque converter.

 

Whats the point, manual you'll shift quicker.
if you wanna stay half auto, convert a manual transmission to a dog box with straight cut gears. you then wont need to clutch upshifting and will have quicker shifting times.

 

yea but thats gona cost me an arm and a leg. I see that on my neighbours shelby

 

Dude you're gonna build a 400whp automatic DA?!? why... What a waste of money. Don't you know how to drive stick?

 

I do. But i like to pwn cocky maunal drivers that talk ---- about auto drivers.

 

Do 5 speed swap you panzy lol

 

lmao. tell my why your car was so hard to get into 1st. wtff, and ur shifter is fuckn sooooo short

 

do you know how much a good torque converter is ?

you'll need a level 10 torque converter and whole lotta more ---- for the tranny for it to handle it, That itself is worth more than anything you bought for you car

It will have to be completely rebuilt. thats a good 3 -4 grand
LEVEL 10


If you have everything for the swap, do it. if not, its a waste of money and time

 

it was the shift boot that was on it, i took it out tho lol, and my uber short shift PWNED you rofl
