*pdiggitydogg* · 01-13-2003, 12:21 PM

01-13-2003, 02:34 PM

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-13-2003, 03:04 PM

type r "style" mirrors...i didnt want to deal w/ all the rewiring for the retract button...these are manny folding but i still like em...plus they were $80

slowEJ6 · 01-13-2003, 03:43 PM

nice....

projector headlights huh?

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-13-2003, 06:35 PM

yes...i know....the lights are going wednesday. I cleared the original housings and got some new bulbs...I am moving away from rice...slowly but surely (its my 2nd to last rice...i still have to remove the int. neons as well)

01-13-2003, 06:49 PM

Hmm...I think the side mirrors look nice...I saw these type R style mirrors on ebay that folded automatically....Like you have a little remote on ur dash that make them fold...they look pretty hott to me...but i'll stay with my mirrors for a while...

- Finally got my Tokico shocks and Eibach Sportline springs in the mail today...

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-13-2003, 06:50 PM

i really like my tokicos

01-13-2003, 07:00 PM

when u changed ur shocks to the tokico's...did you notice a big difference in like ride quality?

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-13-2003, 07:14 PM

i did indeed. tokicos were a lot rougher even at the 1 setting. but you gotta remember theyre sport geared and are designed that way. I think it makes the car more responsive to many situations becuase of the stiffness...you wouldnt want to be bouncing all over the place when youre zippin down the roads/track during a run or what have you

01-13-2003, 07:16 PM

Oh okay...thankz...what do you mean at the 1 setting?

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-13-2003, 07:25 PM

adjustable damper...i got the illumina r coilovers

01-13-2003, 07:33 PM

oh i see now...I got the Blue tokico shocks...

sohc_vtec 2NR · 01-13-2003, 07:34 PM

hey, quick questions...i have "automatic" mirrors, you know u can adjust it from the inside...would i still retain my "auto" meters if i swap my factory mirros and get spoon mirrors?

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-13-2003, 08:09 PM

i thought the real spoon mirrors are manual you'd probably have to get "style" and then yes you just plug in your factory harness and youre good to go

01-13-2003, 09:19 PM

ok ready for a stupid question?
Where the H usually goes on the front of ur car isnt tehre. Guess you replaced the grille and all....but how much does that cost. Im guessing its pretty easy and stuff and also where did u order ur part from.

How hard is it to shave the holes where the H is on the back and the other emblems by the way...

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-13-2003, 09:28 PM

youre really gonna kick yourself when I tell you...I cut it all out w/ a utility knife

. I did have a mesh grill for awhile but I like this look better. Removing all that stuff was really really really easy...just make clean slow cuts doing it and be real careful to not slice a finger or something.

01-13-2003, 09:34 PM

lol wait u just cut the spot where the H went out?

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-13-2003, 09:36 PM

yep along with everything else in there

01-13-2003, 09:39 PM

So the H, and the horizon plastic lines (like 3 or 4 of them) then run behind the H, u just cut all taht out?
And thats not a problem with the car.

BTW i like ur car it looks good.

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-13-2003, 09:45 PM

yeah all the horizontals i think there were a few verts too, the H and its surroundings, etc...it all went the way of the dinosaurs lol now its all clean...well...it will be once the old stock newly cleared headlights go in...then it will be my "rice no more" civic...but I dont know if I wanna put the lids on again...

and thanks for sayin you like my car, i appreciate it

01-13-2003, 09:55 PM

Did u do anything to the lower grille?

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-13-2003, 10:10 PM

actually no, i was very lazy about the lower. I considered doing the same thing but thought...'no, thats too much'. but when the turbo goes in i will eventually clear it out for the intercooler...but probably not until then

01-14-2003, 01:24 AM

ver nice car....

sohc_vtec 2NR · 01-14-2003, 06:18 PM

'dogg...good luck with ur Project:NO MORE RICE..

people call imports with big wings and a bunch of aesthetics..rice.. but what about domestics with a big ass wing or some bLInG exhaust tip...why are they called rice..? shouldn't they be like.... CORN-ny? or some other popular american crop

slowEJ6 · 01-14-2003, 06:18 PM

the lower grill is very easy to do as well. i cut out all the plastic crap with a dremel of sorts, took me about 15m to do it right.

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-14-2003, 08:29 PM

I almost cleaned it out today...but laziness was in full swing once I got the thermal on...i didnt even care...maybe tomorrow i really like the way slow's looks (minus the mesh upper)

01-14-2003, 11:28 PM

It sounds so easy but im confused about cutting it out. I looked at it today and it seems that i wouldnt be able to get a smooth cut on the ends? Is that the case?

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-14-2003, 11:43 PM

no its exremely easy. if you wanted to u could use a utility on the main and an Xacto knife on the smaller or even a rotary tool like dremel or craftman thingie(what i have) and finish the job w/ the cutting wheel in the corners or wherever you are worried about. but the knife should be small enough to get into those tight corners that you are concerned about

01-15-2003, 12:42 AM

hey where did you buy those type r mirrors?

*pdiggitydogg* · 01-15-2003, 12:45 AM

my secret

(nah just kiddin...got em on eGay)
