man, your editing skills on pictures blows.
i know its hard not to take offense to that, but the over sharpening and hdr effect is just plain annoying.
im assuming (hoping) that you do that because these are all cell phone pics that arent as clear as you want them to be?

Yea I'm no professional editor lol. Actually I took these pics on my Samsung 12.2 MP digital camera. Here is how the original picture actually looks without resizing and editing. But thanks for the constructive criticism, I've always wondered if the pics would look better with or without editing.

I think that pic looks fine. No need for edits.

 

[invisibledemon]

yeah, looks much better without the edit.

also, when taking the pics, dont clip out parts of the main subjects. a lot of your pics there is at least one car thats missing part of itself. step back a bit further to get all of each car in the shot then crop later to cut out things you dont want.

Havent updated in a while, but not much has changed with the Delly. Over time I got a few new things like rotors, brakes, mount, door locking rods, etc.

It would look good with paint, but that's the last thing on my mind. That would just attract more attention then I even want.

i think NOT having paint actually attracts more attention.

Also, paint would prevent the body from rusting. Primer is porous, and so it lets water in and holds it.

the car would look nice painted, and daily driving it in broward county would make me nervous too lol.

did you ever get a b16a trans for it?

No not yet. I have cash in hand but it's hard to find someone trust worthy that won't sell you a f**ked up tranny.

i think he was referring to attention from thieves.
not attention from cops.

its a honda. they'll steal it painted or not. a decent maaco job will make it look a million times better.

True about the Maaco job. A friend of mine got his Civic painted over a year ago in some yellow color, and it's still looking pretty wet today. They painted door jams and everything for about $900.

Have some bad news and good news.

Bad news is the Delly was stolen around 1:30am this morning (Nov 30, 2010)

The good news is the police clocked the guy speeding down the road about 7 minutes away from my home and pulled him over. All in all I got to drive my car back home. The ignition is busted and they stole my Garmin GPS that was in the glove box. They also managed to crash the car into something resulting in a dented fender. It could of been much worse, I was one of the lucky ones.

 

[invisibledemon]

wow.
hope they are allowing you to press charges to a fullest extent.
for damages and everything.

looks like its time to invest into an alarm.
also, get all of the guys info. and when he does get released, go break his fucking thumbs.

The guy is a little young bastard. Born in 1992! I put him on full blast on a local forum.

not trying to be a dick, but i told you. you draw attention from ricers because they see a "project car". if you had it painted a factory color and stock ride height, they probably wouldn't have looked at it.

unless of course it was someone who knows you or knows of you.
