heres a few pictures of when i first got her, sorry for the bad picture quality:

a few months ago i purchased a HKS HI-Power 509 cat back exhaust which sounds great in Vtec with a nice burble at low revs or just motorway cruising just need to get the mid box taken out now for a little bit extra noise and hope fully some pops and bangs :twisted:
Me and my new rocket launcher Exhaust

Box as big as my mum literaly

Exhaust bung -- yeah that will never be used

i Brought a ITG Maxogen of a member on here pretty easy to fit and can feel a bit off a difference from the stock air box and its really looks the part, im buying a red induction hose of a member on here soon which will make it look even better

the most recent thing iv done is had my OEM wheels refurbed and a slight change in colour, Ignore how dirty the car is, iv not cleaned it in a week or two as its been off the road while iv had the wheels done and a few other things to do, will give it a proper detail over the weekend and get some proper pictures of it



For some reason only 1-2 pictures off the wheels actualy look like they do in real life, pictures always make them look pale or dodgy

this is when they went back on

Finaly got my Black H stickers for my center caps, thanks to mook, they make the car and wheels look so much better, heres a couple of pics of them and my new forum stickers :thumbup:
this shows just how bright my wheels actualy are :-D

Thanks for looking!

Nice looking car.

Never been a fan of the HKS exhausts though. Just looks wrong IMO.

 

[civic2fast4u]

nice car mate, the nhb looks smart with red wheels. Not a fan of the exhaust though, just doesnt look right at all imo

 

[C4Doc]

Same as above really, exhaust is best on an evo, r34 etc. Like the wheels though bud.

 

[darkhawk]

the last few pictures off the exhaust it fell off one off the hangers on way to where i took the photos ( speed bumps ) and looks daft, didnt realise becasue it wasnt knocking or anything, put it back on later that day and it looks much better, hangs to low in the pictures

Big jap can always looks good on jap cars haha

if it was on properly, this picture you wouldnt be able to see the top off back box and the tip is nicely in the bumper recess

 

[civic2fast4u]

for me it just looks too big and abit daft. they sound wicked and the car looks really tidy, but id swap the HKS for an N1 in a heartbeat

 

[darkhawk]

sounds awesome with the Mugen mani and sports cat! i like the big jap can, as above quite a few dont like the size but i do, if i was gonna change it id be thinking either spoon N1 or Skunk2 but that wouldnt be for a while i got lots left to do before i get bored of things and wanna change them again

 

[civic2fast4u]

fair do's mate, at the end of the day its your car, and you can do what you want with it, as long as you like it thats all that matters.

 

[darkhawk]

Yep

 

[civic2fast4u]

maybe do your calipers black aswell.

 

[JamesT]

Nice and clean but I have to agree with the exhaust. I love angled exhausts, but it's just a bit, OTT IMO.

 

[Evl]

like the car, wheels and the other little touches. Dislike the exhaust and rear tow bar, but that's just me.

Nice and tidy though, and as you've said you like it so makes my comments moot.

 

[StuartAAAAAA]

Maybe if you changed the rear rubber mounts on the exhaust you could raise it up a little better. That would improve it.

 

[darkhawk]

its higher now mate, it came of one of the hangers in the pictures where you can really see it, bottomed out going to that country road and it must off pushed it off the hanger, im getting some differnt rubbers anyway becasue these keep dropping it off when it bottoms out, so need some better ones as these are worn to much

 

[chase]

your hks is sitting far too low mate... check my progress thread ull see what i mean

 

[chase]

ah correction just seen last post

 

[darkhawk]

hehe,

and civic2fast4u the calipers are black now, just the last few pictures where they are black you cant see them, and the ones closer up where u can see calipers were before they were painted

 

[civic2fast4u]

couldnt see them mate.

 

[darkhawk]

ill find a pik of it close up just for you

 

[civic2fast4u]

nahh your alright mate, i'll take your word for it
