My new car...cont.

[Rice Rocketeer]

Hey whatz up guys...

didn't know there were that many import car fans in here (from my last thread)

anyway, i got my car yesterday

and so far....there are only a few things done to it...

>>>projector headlights
>>>"Modena" style tail lights
>>>custom mesh grille
>>>reverse indiglo gauges
>>>factory body kit
>>>factory spoiler

reverse indiglo is with the bright backing and black letters right?

 

[Rice Rocketeer]

reverse indiglo gauges (mine) are white faced during the day...at night they turn indiglo (or whatever the hell color it is) with white lettering

cool. i went to the toronto auto show today and they had a sport compact (ricer) section

some of the cars were really nice, and i think a few had that.

 

[Rice Rocketeer]

There is a general misconception between Imports and Rice....

Imports = my car...

Rice = stock Integra with "Integra Type SiR" sticker

 

[mayorbill11_]

yeah, but im too lazy to say "sport compact car" but good point.

 

[mayorbill11_]

or whatever, you get my point.

i like them, but i just havent found a really comfortamble saying besides rice, ive made ass grooves in rice.

sounds nice!

Mind if i ask a question? why go with 20" wheels? they'll slow you down rather than make you go faster...

ps: post pics of it!

yep!

the apexi world sports are absolutely awesome...i drove my friends Civic with them installed...another added bonus...they're cheaper than most coilovers at about $850 - 900

And about the 20s.....

i got the money for that and until i am 100% convinced otherwise, i am going to get em...

the ones i am looking at are 20 x 8.5 Enkei "Venetto" rims....I went to Sprewell Racing earlier today and they had em in stock for about $829 without tires....

With that in mind, i am going to get either Toyo or Yokohama tires, depending on which ones will fit...

 

[-Fred-]

Enkei Venetto? never seen or heard of them... gonna check the Enkei website!

i went with some uber cool, ultra light weight wheels for my ride... check those out!

16"'s all i needed!

RAYS engineering...NICE!!!

[-Fred-]

i sadly can't post pics as of now, my scanner is broken, and i can't afford to buy a new one, or repair it for that matter... Besides, i'm waitin for the nice weather to come back so i can shoot it with my old man's newly acquired RX7... it's friggin' sweet!!

cool...my parents have never bought me a car nor my brother...

were either worked our a** off for it or in my case, my parents were too lazy (and too cheap) to buy me a new car when I got into the greatest college in the world (in my opinion) so they gave me their TL as a hand-me-down

guess it helps when your father's an insurance broker, and your mother's a lawyer...
