Right now I'm just playing the patience game, and after seeing your bay, I honk I'm gonna get knee deep in mine this weekend lol. I should get my lip Monday, and I'll wait to install it with my bumper once it's painted in the next few weeks. Till then I'm driving slow cause I can feel every bump in the road lol.

(honk) *think*.... Stupid spell check.. Lol

Alrighty, this past week I've been bored outta my mind, I tried messing with some cheap spoon knockoff side mirrors, took pics of that. My sir lip from if motorsports arrived Monday 15 min before I had to leave for work, and 2 prior visits from diff fed ex trucks that were for my mom, lol. Also tried to see how my cx spoiler looked since I haven't seen it in a while. I took pics of that too. I will post everything the minute I get a chance to sit down I front of the of computer.

96romaCX · 05-25-2012, 01:05 PM

well here are a couple pics, i dont have a lot of time before work, but this is a couple pics of my new lip

and i tried out my cx spoiler again, but left the furthest rear 2 mounting nuts on the bolts and used the closer 2 to mount it, to make it "pop" up a little more than stock. i cant decide which one i like better... also in the pic the cheap-o knock off mirrors. i painted them with the oem black and installed them.

and for now, we have a holiday weekend coming up so im only getting to work 4 days with one day paid vacation. that means no over time, and it eats into next weeks paycheck too. so i wont have any extra cash to put back towards my supsension. the little i was trying to save i had to use on stuff to for an oil change. but i should have my other new front bumper painted and my new lip installed on the "week of the fourth of July" vactaion week we get anually. that is also only a 40 hour work week. so not alot of "OT" , not alot of extra cash for new goodies. my next purchase will most definately be the function form type 1 coilover kit, and a new or reconditioned steering rack, since i was kinda sure its been wrecked and the front pops in each corner, not axle clicking, those are new, of the direction im turning. but only if its a tight turn. anyways hope everyone has a good memorial day weekend.. theres going to be a little tuner car meet in my town on sat, so i just plan on cleaning up my hatch and parking and looking around. ill take some pics, but i do live in a small town so i dont know what to expect.

96romaCX · 06-20-2012, 10:36 PM

Thank you much sir. I'm still saving for a new suspension, I'm doing my best but it always seems like the money has to go elsewhere.

Blakej8 · 06-20-2012, 11:19 PM

I am gonna follow you for sure! You child and I rocking about with the sir lip and function form coils! plus Crash! lol! It makes me happy seeing all the people with function and forms. They are great!

Awesome dood! as highly as you, and everyone else speak of them, im definately going to hold out for them, my build thread is slow right now.. it slows down in mid summer and holidays (extra cash flow) cause of the work load at our facility. thank you for your support blake, get some pics up of your car and make a thread!

lol! It would be the slowest build thread ever because I do not plan on swapping or doing much to my d16y8... just yet at least... but I could post up some pics just gotta get a flickr or something to post from. Sad news is my tires didn't come in for my rims so I am still waiting to fit them up and get them on. I could post a pic up for fun though.

96romaCX · 06-27-2012, 05:06 PM

Yeah dood I don't care if you wanna post pics of your car up on my thread! The more the merrier, it is a civic site ya know? Lol, and your wheels too!

nice stat man wow ur paint looks really good. i didnt know waxing could make it look like you just painted it.

Blakej8 · 07-01-2012, 05:23 PM

pics will come soon just might start a slow build like a few others and ill try to post pics a tad more frequent than i build haha. just working on the fitment. oh and there is no way to stay slammed and keep the plastic well in the fenders with a 15x8 unless you have like no tire at all. or just don't dump it.

however the rear fender pull for me is giving some trouble. something will pop up soon so be on the look out.

Thank you , but I also clay bared the paint then buffed I before I hand waxed it
It had been sitting in the sun baking. Before I got it. Not much to update, I'm busy with work and training
So as soon as I finish paying for the car in he next few weeks I'll be getting those new ff type 1s I've been waiting on. Still looks the same but I left the spoiler factory without the lift.
