i need to kill the owners of that car
I like it, aside from the rims and the hood.
Completely gutted interior with a fab'd roll cage. It looks nice, on the inside.

Turbo/intercooler, gutted w/cage,
Other than the hood, jAyDeEm rims, and the rigoddamndiculous speed holes in the bumper, I give it

I agree. The stock fenders look tons better. I don't remember if I told the shop to remove the emblems or not. No biggie if they don't, I can get it done later.

The old ones were Dropzone struts w/ Dropzone coilovers. I think about 30k miles on them, give or take. They are extremely stiff. Give a bumpy ass ride. Dude, if u want them, I will get them to you, all you would have to pay is shipping on them.
Look out, supposed to get the car back next week.

KYB AGX with som H&R Sport Springs is what I have gone with. It's a huge difference in the car's ride. Smooth and soft instead of rough and unforgiving.
Thanks for makin a positive contribution to the thread.
nahh yea i agree its on the negative side but wats all that work when ur riding on stock u know what i mean like if u invested into the engine id be like respectt butt its just got looks no speed
actually i just saw a riced out PIC SOO I DECIDED TO GIVE MY piece and he still riding stockk soo wats the point of readin the restt
Yeah, the driver's door is jacked up. When the kid got it painted, they fucked it up and didn't use enough paint on it.
I know, I am gonna get rid of that hood and probably get another cf hood to go with it, speaking of that, cf for sale is someone wants it. Hit me up with offers, don't lowball me.
Can't beat the price of $1000 for the this car. Anyway, I already have a motor (built b18c5 that is gonna be dropped in) that is gonna be swapped in.
The car had 17x7's on it when I got it and they were freaking heavy. Plus there was less tire than I like. I want to 16's cuz they are lighter, better gas mileage, and more tire without rubbing the fender. Plus, 16's tuck better 17's IMHO.
First mods to this will be fenders and new suspension.
I don't know whether to go with stock fenders or aftermarket. As for the suspension, that will KYB AGX with some H&R Sport Springs with a camber kit (getting one from a friend, I think it is SPC), suspension the first priority bcuz this car's suspension to damn stiff making the ride rough as hell.
Since the motor will be getting pushed back, I figured I would go ahead and make the car visually pleasing for now.
UPDATE:
Here are a few pics of the block before the shop disassembled it.
Above:
If you closely enough, you can see that the holes for the studs are f'ed up and are somewhat of an oval shape.
Block Stamp:
Head:
Just thought I give you guys/gals some pictures so you can see what's going on. About 2 hours after I took these and got out of class, block was completely disassembled minus the sleeves being removed.
BTW, these were taken today, the camera just has the wrong settings for the date.
from what i have seen in his thread i have only seen a bunch of pretty pictures of the rice rocket i must have missed the engine swap partt and i have not seen no turbo as part of the project but still respect on dattt... it doesnt have to be fast as long as it looks nice i guess... for some ppl looks mean everythin for some its all about the speed

Your entitled to your opinion. But, don't come to someone's thread and be disrecpectful. I wouldn't come to one of you threads and berate your choices.
After reading your posts, I see that you didn't read any posts and just went straight for the pics. Well, here is the short and sweet of this build.
I bought the car cheap and it was riced-out.
Got a motor, b18c5 with a built bottom-end and was gonna put it in the car. Got the block checked and block was uselss, but internals reuseable.
Bought a JDM b18c block and getting it prepped to be used.
While I am building the motor and gathering the parts for the swap, I decided to get the car painted bcuz it is not visually pleasing.
Currently, car is at the paint shop, b18c5 is having the darton sleeves removed so I can put the arias pistons, manley rods, and type r crank in the jdm b18c block.
Since I have to earn my money and it doesn't grow trees like it does for you, I am asking you not to post up anymore respones to this thread unless it is something good to say, otherwise, I will report to a mod.
HAVE A NICE DAY.
