yea u can cut em or get lowering springs with stock shocks, i have stock shocks and my car is lowered two inchs, it doesnt ride that bad, but its kinda bouncy on rough roads, i just avoid those roads and travel the highway most the time.

[iloveJDMblackrims69]

DUDE...I LOVE THE RIMS and yes i agree with everyone...dont really like the paint job but hey everyone gets bored and likes to try somethin different!

[Grant2k]

your car looks good man. matching those wheels with the body color would be awsome. and that idea with the hood scoop is great. Mark, that would look out-of-control-awsome on your hatch. DO IT!

[od2681]

OMG i got those exact same pedals

[86accord4dr]

i dunno about getting aftermarket shocks tho. cuz even the ebay specials are around $100 US. I just want to fuck around with stuff. I probably won't even end up doing anything... but i like the idea of seeing what can be done dirt cheap.

So MarioBurke, how much DID you lower yours? you said "not all the way" but that really depends what you think all the way is.. i'm sure some lowrider owners would consider even a 2 inch drop "monster truck" height compared to what they roll with

[MarioBurke]

Well I not sure how it dropped. I dont know what the stock height is, but after I dropped it, the gap from tire to well is 2 inches. i didnt go any lower cause I didnt put a chamber kit on. I would like to go lower later.


hey if anyone has ideas (other than repainting) for add ons please tell me. I am always open to ideas. I just ordered strobes that I am going to put in the wheel wells instead of the convential underbody kit. i also just got the conversion headlight kit to use the silver halogen bulbs.

[86accord4dr]

strobes = tickets

unless you're building a show car then go for it... otherwise i don't see the point

[MarioBurke]

well this is true, except so is putting the underbody lights. Believe me I have been pulled over 10 times in the last 4 months. the only legal light and color you can add under your car (in california) is Yellow, and you cant have the tubes showing and it cant shine more than 75 ft from your car. That was advice from a friendly Highway Patrol. besides i would only turn them on while the car was parked.

[86accord4dr]

yeah those rules are pretty lax compared to up here... so ENJOY

So, your calling me a lowrider? :lol

[86accord4dr]

um yeah... lol... but if there's 2 inches gap from wheels to fender then by no means is your car "slammed"

[87accordHB]

which is bad ass man. I LIKE YOUR CAR. IT DIFFERENT AND NOT LIKE OTHERS. keep up the good work kat. keep us informed on your progress.

[MarioBurke]

I am now at a temporary stand still. I gotta flippin "citation" last night for speeding and tint in the front windows. the officer is fulla shiat, but now I cant spend tons of money. BUT, today I think I am going to get those conversion headlight kits with the silver bulbs.

Um isn't speeding against the law? And you can't have tint in the front man.. you can't blame the cop. Maybe he was an asshole about it i dunno.

How much was it for anyway?

I read that wrong the first time, and thought that you were busted for flipping the headlights up and down or something. :lol

[Neuspeed007]

I like the look mario. First time i have ever seen a Push Starter on a 3gee! Hey keep the ideas flowin.
A good Publisher once told me (honda Tunning) Thats "When it comes to looks, a Little Crazyness goes a long way."
I back that 100%
8 outa 10!

nick~

[MarioBurke]

Hey man thanks for the props!

[Twisted 87lxi]

Hrm....interesting......well, i've gotta give you props on the effort and ideas, but just don't plan on being voted best old school by any car shows or magazines. This car makes me want to

[MarioBurke]

may not win awards, but at least I can respect other peoples cars and ideas. no need to knock it

[Bobs89LXi]

I can say one thing about your car: It is different. It's not my thing, but then again, it isn't my car either. Whatever turns your screws. Welcome to the board.

[87accordHB]

man like ive said before..i like your ride man...its a deff. head turner compared to come rides on here. not knockin on those rides that those cars might fall into. i have no room to speak ither but what im saying like once said..you went out on a limb and i respect that. i would like to see it in person. i just have to ask about ur screen, does it block your air vent? if so......i feel sorry for ur passenger also...how did u get that cowl too mount to ur hood? looks bad ass!

[MarioBurke]

well my car needs a lot of work. specially with the paint. it is just a rattle can job. but i am going to work for my uncle soon at a body shop. The screen doesnt block the vent really. if there is one thing that works on good on that car its the heater. I just drilled through the hood to mount the cowl.
