[bullard123]

Nice pics.Both cars looking good. I see you finally got that civic running Deadhead. I can't wait till we have another meet. That last one was pretty fun.

[mkymonkey]

you guys suck! why you may ask? well because im jelous. not because of your cars :P but because of the scenery! i wish i had places like that here. or at least places that looked half abandoned! lol. to tell you the truth i went to la the other day looking for a place for me to take some cool shots with a background that had been tagged but i could not find one! i mean come on its la!. not even a single abandoned warehouse or anything! damn you fuckers lol

ok now that i got that out of my chest. cars look cool! but of course they both could use a bit of work and you guys know what so im not going to mention it again. who took the shots? i assume halxi right. cuz they look pretty creative. me like! halxi, i say you play around with the shutter speed, and all the other functions of the camera so you can get some really cool colorful pics. or at least learn how to bring out color out of pics that lack it.

all in all... me like gj

[88accordhb]

hood oxidation pwns the shark bite in the bumper. also i love that model pic, it belongs in abecrombie and fitch. lol i'm jp.

[Cheeseburger]

sweet pics guys

[mkymonkey]

oh and who is the guy with the bong sweater (im assuming it says billabong)

[Cheeseburger]

you guys suck! why you may ask? well because im jelous. not because of your cars :P but because of the scenery! i wish i had places like that here. or at least places that looked half abandoned! lol. to tell you the truth i went to la the other day looking for a place for me to take some cool shots with a background that had been tagged but i could not find one! i mean come on its la!. not even a single abandoned warehouse or anything! damn you fuckers lol




u just didnt know where to look..... u probably went to Bevery Hills lmao!!!! :slap:

[88accordhb]

dude just park your car on your yard and put on a sweater and stand teh way he is, there you go.

[halxi]

lmao, yes, i took the shots. I need to start playing with shutter speeds and such, but i havent quite figured it all out.

The guy in the Bong (yes its billabong, my old hoodie kuz he didnt bring one and it got cold) was Quinton (or deadhead). I could of easily found some better tag'd areas.

Today ive also made my final decision, with the help of deadhead. The 3g is going, any offers?

It will NOT have a stereo, or those rims/tires. It will however have brand new tociko/intrax suspension, pace setter header, borla pro xs muffler, test pipe, and it will come with a cat which i will include seperatly. Any offers? Im guessing at least $1000, maybe $1300 tops.

Its time to move on, and i want something that ill enjoy a little more that has a little more pep to it.

Thanks for all the comments guys, ill post more pics once i get back to my house tomorrow afternoon. (Im on a laptop at my girls house, they're out of town so im "house sitting")

[frankie89]

good photoshoot.....

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Nice pics... a shame you're selling the 3g.

[Deadhead]

Thanks guys... yeah, halxi took the pics, i can't take any for shit--plus, i didn't have my camera :P

IMO people need to do more of this stuff... the railroad tracks were entertaining.

[Selfmindead]

Nice cars! im glad a train didnt come.

[carotman]

Hiii, I would have been affraid to fall off the track and bend something. Lol

Great scenery indeed!

Terrific composition. :thumbup:

I've never seen a car w/ it's tires on railroad tracks (much less two cars).

Very creative, I would never have thought of it.

Peace.

[Toneloc5145]

Nice photoshoot.

Halxi, i dont know why, but I love your car. I love the wheels. They really "transformed" the car. Too bad your selling it.

Deadhead, your car is nice too. Quite a step up from your 3g. What happened to your bumpers?

[SQ is the SQUAD]

looking good guys

[spnrx]

awesome shoots! awesome!

[superaccord]

Hey your guys....nice creativity. SO, just the other day you were talking about turbo, then all of a sudden your selling the car? Hmm...after all that suspension work? lol...whatever. j/k. Well, that sucks. I like that car. Go buy a CIVIC.:flip: Love ya Nate dogg....

[Deadhead]

Deadhead, your car is nice too. Quite a step up from your 3g. What happened to your bumpers?

Honestly, I don't know... I got the car like that. I'm probably just going to use a little bit of bondo on them and have a friend repaint them. Actually, the car needs a repaint because i've got some clear coat that's chipping off near the rear window.

We got the care fairly cheap, and the 3g became unsafe to drive because of the alignment issue ( bent frame causing horrible toe and camber). Plus, the brake master cylinder was about to fail.

So we found this, salvage title, 90k miles 96 civic that had driveability issues. So we put new tires on it, got the right ecu, and it's running ok for now... just some more tweaking to do.

:wave: Almost my fault... he drove my car and fell in love with the hydro clutch.

[superaccord]

pshhhh...

[halxi]

dont get me wrong, i like my 3g. But its a project car, which i cant afford at this point in life.

Thanks for all of the comments, it took some thought/effort to get all these pics.

EDIT: oh yea matt, another thing, lol... im more then likely NOT going to be buying a civic. Overall i didnt really like quintons at all (no offense man), im definatly going for a teg.

[Deadhead]

hahaha, yeah, i know you didn't... probably because it was slow as fuck right now lol.

[halxi]

my accord walked it... enough said. :Owned2:

lol well i got the rail idea from the whole "riding on rails" term commonly used to describe honda handling capabilities.

Here are a few more pics:

[Cheeseburger]

nice pics guys

[halxi]

ty

cant wait to get a teg.... minus the damn bug eye headlights, they're nice

[89AccordResto]

Bleh. Tegs are like assholes. Everyone has one. Welcome to lemmingville. I like the 3G because it's unique looking.

[halxi]

i think ive told you before, keep your opinions to yourself. I dont really care to hear them.

Im looking for the performance end, not the "unique" end

if i really wanted to go mainstream, id be driving an auto y5 civic with a weld on fart can, short ram, a parkbench, and chromie spinner hubcaps from walmar with 'autozone' and 'apc' decales all over it.

ill do what i wanna do, you do what you wanna do.

[89AccordResto]

If you're looking for the performance end.... why not CRX with an engine swap? Little car + big engine= weeeeeeeee

But sorry... around here, mainstream= integra/civic with fartcan and a few bolt ons, with 'plans' to go turbo. Maybe some spraypainted calipers.

[Deadhead]

Bleh. Tegs are like assholes. Everyone has one. Welcome to lemmingville. I like the 3G because it's unique looking.


One.... I see 10x more 3g's than I do integra's... especially the generation he's looking at (bug eye one's lol)

You could say the same thing about 3g's.
"3g's are like assholes. Everyone has one. Welcome to lemmingville. I like the integra because it's unique looking."

Same fucking thing. Just because you think something is "common" doesn't mean they are bad cars. Generally, that means they are nice cars because people like them. I have a common car... so do you. Put your nose down and realize you are not GOD because you have a 3g.

don't get me wrong, I loved my 3g. But either way it doesn't give you the right to bash a car because of how common it is.

If you have reason to hate the car other than how common it is.. then tell us. If you don't like the body style... ok, fine, keep that to yourself. However, if you know they have problems, then go ahead and say it, it could be helpfull to that person later on.

Build up, don't tear down.

[halxi]

read my post that explains why im selling my car.

i need something thats NOT a project car.

i guess you will be able to call my idea of a teg "mainstream"...

plans consist of
- tein coilovers (havent decided on which line yet)
- upgraded sway bars
- upgraded rear lower control arms
- upper strut tower bars
- upgraded brakes (big brakes, with slotted rotors)
- rota circuit 8's
- the usual I/H/E, and ill probably go with some cams, better ignition system, and a few jdm parts

im not even going to lie to anybody about "plans for boost", yes id like to boost it. But im not planning on it.

Its time to move on from a 3g, and this seems like a content place to move to with my current position. Better aftermarket support, more power, better technology, less miles, overall better condition.

crx + b16 = mainstream... everyone and their mom does that swap

[89AccordResto]

Thing is, most 3gs are pieces of crap, beat up, mexied out, riced out, or totally stock. It's RARE and UNIQUE to have one like yours, which looks good. Your car with new paint would be way hotter than some stupid superstreet integra. And ...um.. the 3g isn't my main car. I just bought it as a daily. I have a few rare cars, because I like rare cars. :)

BS dude. What do you see more often? An integra with rims, suspension, brakes, fartcan, couple JDM parts (JDM badges omg!) and plans to boost? Or a CRX with an engine swap that hauls major ass? Your 3g has a great suspension, sure it need a little power, but more importantly it needs paint. Your interior is great, your exhaust is great, etc etc etc. Integras and civics are EVERYWHERE. Heck, open the page of any import mag and 95% of the time it'll be either an integra or a civic. You sure you want to dare to be different and be like 500,000,000 honda enthusiasts? Or do you want the old school JDM look and uniqueness of owning a clean looking nicely modded 3G?

[halxi]

see, this is where you ASSUME, im doing that shit.

I HATE fart cans. Pure and simple.

The only logical reason for me to have a fart can, would mean im running about 15psi and at least a full 3" (downpipe back) exhaust. Thats the ONLY way a fart can would EVER make it to my car. Period.

Im talking JDM front end, further down the road, maybe an itr suspension assembly for a 5lug conversion.

Also, what did i make VERY clear in my post? IM NOT PLANNING FOR BOOST. I also made it clear, my 3g is a PROJECT car. Which i cannot afford at this stage in life (im 16, no job. and even when i had a job, my 3g sucked all my money).

To get my car body work, and a DECENT respray of the facotry color, and put a new motor in it (it has one hell of a rod knock in it right now), it would cost me near 8g's.

Ive had thoughts of other cars to be "different" kuz you never see them, but to do what i want is way out of my budget. I was thinkin a 6th gen 4door, lowered, with a BUILT JDM N/A h22 in it. But that car is too high in pricing to start with, and it would remain stock for far too long. And i will admit, they are an absolute BITCH car stock.

[3gn86lxi]

Holy crap!!! What the hell happend to this thread Hal???
I thought this was a pic whore thread..........and it turned into anger! Accordresto.....keep the negativity to yourself, If Hal want to sell his car, don't knock him for it dude. It is HIS car to do with what he pleases, hell, I may sell mine, are you going to yell at me too???
Anyway, think good thoughts Accordresto.....you are always so pissed, take your pills dude.
Halxi, AWSOME pics, I wish I had scenery close to me like that. Good luck if you do sell the car. :)
Just check in often....K?

I'm not the one angry here. Maybe you should tell him to take some pills. I like his accord. I'm sad to see him get something... less cool, in my eyes. :( His accord would look hot.

And sorry dude... you could get a new engine and the MINOR bodywork your car requires and a respray for WAY less than 8 grand. More like 2-3. :) Especially if you have friends in the business.

[halxi]

I dont have friends in the buisness though, and i wouldnt be putting in a factory spec engine.

I know all the little dents/dings in my car... it needs A LOT of body work, and the only way to paint 90% of my car is strip it to the bare metal, then respray. Since all of the paint is cracking. I could do the body work myself, but i wouldnt be able to shoot the paint.

3gn86lxi, lol... i just get tired of this over opinionated guy and had to finally voice my opinion... if a mod would like to clean this thread up that would be greatly appriciated!

My 3g will be around for a few more months, i need to get financials straight. But once i do get that part of it done, theres no going back. Ive already put $4500 into this car, and thats been mainly in just replacing parts that have broke/worn out. Only about $1500 of that ($450 suspension, $300 exhaust, $700 wheels/tires, $50 CAI) has been mods...

[HostileJava]

Nice pictures, that 3g must handle like it's on rails :)

[halxi]

That it does, although it could use some strut bars :P lol

[halxi]

little update for ya guys...

my car is FOR SURE being sold now.

what i have that im lining up... only a select few currently know about... lets just say... it will be fast, oh yes. It will be fast. (er)

that sucks...looks like a nice car...just needs a paint job...well hopefully your next car is still japanese

[halxi]

still japanese
still honda
still modded

just... different year/model, and has one nice upgrade. Waiting to find out what the status of the title is.

[Vanilla Sky]

heh, i just wish i were close enough to buy the 3gee

[halxi]

Im hoping for at least $1700 with the wheels/tires (has 2 new tires on it now)... but we will see.

Drive it over here and I'll give you a grand for it Hal.:)

[halxi]

ok, ill send it to you with stockie wheels/tires though :P

ill hold out for the right person here, start at $2000 and tell them im flexible with the price. If they offer me $1500. "here are the keys, get the fuck outta here!" lol

[Tecknixia]

Ha! So those are the tracks you guys were talking about... nice.

Hmm... about the car, thinking about what I would do in your situation... I would try to stay with what you can afford. One thing you could do:

Get another 3g (they're cheap) that runs good, with a decent body... park your current car, drive the other one. If you have a place to put the car (get a storage space?), take off the suspension and other good parts you want to hold onto. As you save money, get used parts from a junkyard, put it on the parked car, then sell it cheap. When you have the time, put the good parts on the car you're driving.

Or, the other option is to get another motor for it, and just live with it for now... messed up paint? Who cares?! Rust? So what?! That just gives you more of a reason to beat the living crap out of the car and not worry about messing something up. Sure, when your car is sitting there and you're looking at it, you're thinking it'd be nice with a new paint job... but once you step inside, from your perspective as a driver, does any of that REALLY matter to you? What matters? Power, handling, suspension, steering, the feel of the pedals, throttle, how the transmission feels, etc. Those are the things I would focus on instead of the body (unless it's affecting any of that). It's just an opinion, but if you want to be efficient, take care of what's REALLY important and try to live with what isn't as important until you can afford it.

Or you could get something different and newer that will cost even more in the end. Newer and different is nice, but I've come to realize that NICE = EXPENSIVE. I wouldn't blame you either way, it just depends on your individual standards for nice/efficient and want/need.
