Welcome to the Elite.

welcome to elite man..tell me you you dont have those projector head lights anymore? other than that looks good..

Coño, about time....


Welcome to the EliteCM.

yeahhhh i do still have em... haha
i hear so many negative comments about them... although my cutoff is precise and they are bright enough and spread far enough for me to like them

been looking into doing a retro on my oem headlights.... got something up my sleeve...

Holy shit. Take long enough to make a profile bro? Just playing. Still, it's about time. Now, get a formal welcome to the elite.

i know i know haha thanks man...
its been like a year now...just didnt wanna throw up some noobie pics and embarrass myself...
then again we all start somewhere

its been an expensive 15 months with this car... haha

welcome nick.

Nice profile, welcome to ECM Nick, you can probably take the opportunity to join our NYCM squad or heck start your own NJCM.

welcome - i too enjoy boobs and beer.  glad to see some like minded individuals around

ahhh yes... boobs n beer...

debating getting fogs... looking into it now
next thing i wanna do for sure if paint those ugly ass black side skirts.. or possible just get the HFP skirts...

first off, welcome.. i guess? i know u've been around for a while, but still...

and not to burst your bubble, but they dont have hfp side skirts for the sedan, and the coupe ones wont fit....
the only option is either painting them, or spending the dough and buying the ones from your year sedan EX

yeah i know....thought their were but never researched it.... nevertheless im looking to pain my side skirts asap...
i'll look when the time comes for my options... and exactly how much painting will cost

we'll see

OBX oil catch can on the way...

Welcome to ECM, I see ur from new brunswick, im in south plainfield....

whats up man...checked out yur cardomain page... looking nice... i used to have chrome pillars too but they look way better on darker cars

see you around....

Holla... finally made a profile, congrats on your drop!

I sorta like your headlights, although I'd like to see how they look blacked out...

where in brunswick were those pics taken? cause it doesnt look like the place i grew up.

Welcome ! I always wanted to see how does projectors would look on our car... Time for a retro or blackhoused.

Glad you finally made a profile It's about time. Not even sure I can say welcome to ecm lol...

alot of the newer pics of the drop were taken at Johnson Park (also a pretty sweet spot for a meet someday)
its right off of River Road in Highland Park along the river...

its a really nice park... HUGE
theres gotta be like 4 baseball fields 8 tennis courts
a petting zoo ! haha

i like the area... nice and quiet for the most part

thanks, yeah for the most part people HATE on those projectors.... i on the other hand dont mind them
the halos are a little too flashy, but then again surprise people whenever they see em.... havent got one bad comment on them yet (besides on here haha)

i still have my OEM headlights.... i think i wanna do a blackhouse or possibly desert mist those bitches.... then try to go very unique on the retros if and when i do them

for now the anzo projectors will stay.... might possibly try to paint them to match my car.... we'll see
stay tuned.... haha

Welcome to ECM.

How about a picture of your ICE?

welcome to elite NWINNIE34. Like your ride

Like the ride, especially the contrast b/w the IM cover and the IM itself... Dessert Metallic usually doesn't appeal to me much, but i really like your ride :D.

thanks man i appreciate it
just painted my grills and gave em a clear coat... should be looking real good soon

Where's the best place to get Ralco pulleys? I think that's going to be my next mod, but I still don't know whether I should get underdrive or not, and whether or not it's easy enough for myself to handle.

When you installed them, did you see a noticeable improvement?

High five for DMM btw! WOO! lol

Nice DMM and welcome to Elite

Do you have a model # for the ralco UD pulleys? Also, did you buy those spark plugs online somewhere? What kind of improvements do the spark plugs do, if any?

Beautiful car =)

Seems like everyone hates the Anzo's... but they don't seem to bother you much.  Do you mind posting a pic of the cutoff with the HID's on?  I was considering this myself =).  Thanks!

pullies part number is Part# 914871
as least the ones i got were

spark plugs dont provide an exact increase in horsepower or torque...just something you know makes a hotter and better spark for optimum combustion
they are a good thing to have regardless if you can "feel" the difference or not
helps with mpg...

thanks man... yeah i have no issues with them (they look awesome with the blue looking sylvania silverstar 1157A's too)... i want to take them apart and black out the housings tho
i'll try to get a pic of the cut off tonight... for some reason i dont have one handy
cut off it decent...not great

Good luck with your header install; I wish I could help with that o2 problem you're having. I'm assuming you got the header off ultrarev?

got the headers used off a member on here

$160 shipped.... almost shit myself considering they are like $340+ new
wrapped them in thermal heat wrap to keep my engine bay temp down (see the DIY how to install headers post for more pictures comparing oem and DC sports headers)

def a nice increase in the higher rpm range
ended up having to buy a 7.5" o2 sensor extension wire to make the o2 sensor long enough to screw back in properly, for the downtime i just kept it screwed in and unplugged the o2 sensor for like a week

high flow cat is next + custom cat back....
also some engine bay modifications (special thanks to Billy aka Crazy Creashunz)....gonna look sharp ;o)

BUMP for my new TSX

Looking good man. Want to trade motors? Haha.

HELLS NO... i paid alot of money for my motor haha
6 speed is amazing...

Did you install that hondata thermal gasket yet?

I want one!

nope, i plan to tomorrow right after work tho haha

looks good man!! Love that grill

Nice upgrade!
