well it's waiting for an EK9 half cut to get a rhd and b16 swap. just waiting till I get the 5grand to get the half cut

edit: the FC I was going to buy sold so I figured this would be funner as people just expect it to be rice. Building a NA 4banger should be fun as well.

I've located a type r half cut, only thing I'd need to do is find the type R wing. Then it would be a full type R clone. I don't want something every ricer has, I want something different. My cousin already has a GSR so I want a type R civic. It would be much easier if US regulations weren't bullshit and I could just buy a type r to begin with. I think sticking with the little b16 will be more of a challenge to make it fast, I'm not going for 1/4 mile it's for corners

looking for something like this with bronze Watanabe wheels

i like the bronze tinted headlight...they need to tint the drivers side next

I thought it was dirt or reflection. I emailed Watanabe USA to see if they even make 17's in magnesium, waiting on email back telling my they cost 1500 each or some bullshit.

ctr has been done so many times even i did it once and dammit i miss my flamenco black pearl ek //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

CTR?

I've wanted a black ek hatch since I was like 14 and my cousins buddy bought one. I've been looking for some non v8 powered car for a while now. I'm sick of v8's I've had 3-4 fast ones now I want a 4cyl or rotary

edit: my dream car is a s15 silvia but I'm not exactly sure what needs to be changed on it to register it in the states

 

[wenn_du_weinst 10+ year member]

wait by ctr did you mean clone type R, if so not around here. Got to remember I live up north.

civic type r = ctr

That's what I figured, answer is the same. I should be able to get a lot more races in a civic then I did in my ws6. Ricers pretty much destroyed the civic's reputation in the states. Still doesn't make it less fast when done right.
