Finally pix of my car!!

[Project-LXi]

Here are some pics.

I am gonna replace the hood with a carbon fiber hood since the urethane Z3 vents are starting to warp from excesive engine heat :( suspension stuff is on order, and engine swap is right around the corner. Will post more as more mods are done.

[Mike89Accordcom]

[NXRacer]

[MIK3]

The spoiler and hood scoops are awesome. Not a big fan of blingage chrome however.

Very perceptive Mike89Accordcom! :D
Very nice car Matt. Can't wait to see it lowered. Ar you going to repaint the speaker grills in the front?

[johndej]

Spoiler is from an 85 Firebird (3rd gen firebird) you can find them at a junkyard or on ebay for pretty cheap.

i like the overall car minus the rims. chrome rims are not for 3gs. but nice overall

thanks for the info!!!!!

[Grant2k]

tight.

[kicker1_solo]

the only thing I have a problem with is what's goin' on under the hood, do you know what you're doin'? I think someone should pick one color, maybe two and stick with those. So far you have yellow, blue, and red. :eek:
Other than that, I like.

[adams86lxi]

very nice
:D

Man u have to tell me where did u get that carbon fiber hood, i want to get me one. Im loving everything you've done with ur ride, except the rims, but everything else it sweet. :)

[toastyghost]

the vents are dope so it's a shame they're getting messed up by bay heat, the bling looks good on black cars, and i love the mini tour wing

not sure the red H badge fits but if that's my only complaint you know the shit looks sweet!

Its actually not a CF hood, it was a stock hood that my co-worker and I took and inserted Z3 fender inserts that I bought on ebay. To attach the inserts we used this super epoxy stuff, you cant fiberglass is because the flex between metal and urethane would crack the urethane.

Since they are functional vents for natural aspiration (you can see the heat waves rise from them on hot days!) I think the last few months has put a toll on the urethane and they are warping So... I am getting a new hood, this time it is gonna be CF and hopefully will give me similar heat dispersion as this hood does. But it was fun while it lasted.

Yeah it is too many colors and I have them same feeling about it, but I dont care so much because I am going to swap the engine shortly* I will post pics of the process and then you can see what Im swapping into it.

* - Unless I see some numbers for an A20 Turbo setup (hp/tq 0-60 QM time or SOMETHING!) that would pursuade me to go that route instead.

I might actually get different rims, since these ones slow me down a bit. If anyone wants to buy these + Toyo FZ4s they are wrapped in I would entertain offers. These rims retail for around $330 ea w/o tires! but I would sell them for a much better price.

im gonna get back to the dyno soon hold your horses dammit. im waiting on a bigger set of fuel injectors to arrive.

[SteveDX89]

Car looks good. I like the wing and I think since your car is black, the wheels fit good. Chrome on black cars always seems to look the best. Keep us posted on the swap.

[foobari]

The car looks great!! I especially like the hood vents, they look like they belong there! I have been thinking about hood vents myself, maybe from a Peugeot 206?? Just don't like the idea of cutting a couple of holes into the hood.

[Grant2k]

that's why you get a hood from the junkyard.

[Andrew]

:bow: Nice frickin' ride man! Clean and custom without going over the top. Nothing wrong with those rims, they look great on a black car. :bow:

[foobari]

Ok, here's a quick photoshop of my car with the 206 hood vents. Please tell me what do you think, is that tight or just out of place!?

Fits pretty good there!

[HostileJava]

Looks good, a little to colorful under the hood, but otherwise good.

I'm kind of diggin' the chick in your avi. But, the car as well. I'm definently feelin' the chrome.


About the photoshoped hood: Wack. But wait, you live in Finland. That hood might work there. And as i always say, whatever blows your skirt up.
