hotrod59f100 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 I have been a Honda fanatic for a long time. My first car was a 88 cr-x then I had a 91 hatch- then a 90 cr-x . The only 3 issues I had was 1. Ny rust 2. All had ove 225,000 miles the most being 315,000 . 3. Head gaskets went on two of them and one of those warped the head.
martinfan5 Posted April 28, 2012 Author Posted April 28, 2012 I always liked the CRX hatchs, cool little cars, and the NSX, it was the whole tuner fade after Fast and The Furious came out, and everywhere you looked there was a tune civic.
hotrod59f100 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 I liked the tuners.but after the ff 1 it went down hill fast . Every car before in my aera was cool .evry one drove normal but after the movie every one and ther brother drove like idiots . The cops broke bad and really enforced it.
martinfan5 Posted April 28, 2012 Author Posted April 28, 2012 I liked them too, but it was at least out here, they all looked the same, they all had the same APC stuff, most where all show no go, body kits barley hanging on.

To this day here any male whom is under 30 years old who drives a civic of any type feels the need to put a fart can on it, and many still put ugly wings on too.
hotrod59f100 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 I was guilty of some of that at one time. Tisk tisk lol.

LMAO fart can, that is great, you are right though, its all big box auto parts store aftermarket parts too, I love tuners, not the ones the like you said , males under the age 30, but the ones that can compete at track days , not the I am trying to be cool like the ones in F&F movies. The cars in the movies were very nice, and cost a lot as well, those were not pep boys parts cars lol

martinfan5 Posted April 29, 2012 Author Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Here is a hint as to what I am going to be starting in one day twenty hours Edited April 29, 2012 by martinfan5
martinfan5 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 Getting a little bit more done on the Ferrari I am going to use the kit wheels, so here they are after stripping the chrome, and a little bit of primer on them Painted the interior parts I could Brakes I am removing the molded in grill from the front
Scuderia Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Are you planning to replace it with a life-like grille? or removed it for easier painting?
martinfan5 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 Are you planning to replace it with a life-like grille? or removed it for easier painting? Going to use mesh for the grill, it will look way better
Scuderia Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Right on good thinking, i havent tried that yet. But maybe at some point soon. keep me posted how this one works out.
martinfan5 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Right on good thinking, i havent tried that yet. But maybe at some point soon. keep me posted how this one works out. I have done it before, its easy, you should try it On a side note, I pre ordered two soon to be released kits last night, Aoshima is doing the Lambo Aventador and a 2012 GTR R35 Edited April 30, 2012 by martinfan5
Scuderia Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 most def what screen / mesh do u use? I havent' been a big fan of the newer lambos a lil over the top visually for me lol.
martinfan5 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) I agree too, but its just cool to be able to do a kit of a car thats still new, if that makes sense I was going to buy the Fujimi Lambo adventador, but I found out the that the Aoshmia one is cheaper, plus a 20% discount for pre ordering, yep I am a cheapskate lol Edited April 30, 2012 by martinfan5
martinfan5 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 The F430 replacement parts came today, yeah!
Scuderia Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 That was fast of them! awesome. Are they straight? lol
martinfan5 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Posted April 30, 2012 That was fast of them! awesome. Are they straight? lol Yeah I know, so far what I can tell is yes.
Scuderia Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 sounds good i was so mad when i saw my 85 TA chas was warped. For some reason i didnt notice until late on
Scuderia Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 it was usable but it made a chore out of applying the chin spoiler. And when i screwed up the lowering job it accentuated the errors a bit more but its not horrible.
