    Plans for the new 3g

    You guys all know what happened to my car... and most of you know hte plans I had for it too. Well, for those of you that don't know what they were here is a listing of what plans I had, and what pland I have added since the accident. These will be going on Kicker's 3g when I get it, so tell me if you guys object to any of it! feedback is nice.

    Exterior:
    - Get mounting hardware off of a werecked teg, and mount bumper right
    - Mount up black widow rear bumper if kicker gives it to me, if not I will just buy another bumper that looks good with the R34 front
    - Buy black widow side skirts for 90-93 accord
    - Fix slight damage to driverside door, and replace left fender
    - Put on new trunk lid
    - Put on new corner lens
    - Make clear corners, and smoke front trim
    - Install two 4'' LED lenses to each tail light making a sort of corvette tail light look (though I hate vettes! :P)
    - Either shave off, or paint over the side moldings (haven't decided yet)
    - Lower 1.5 inches (already have the springs! )
    - Paint kit, possibly moldings, and tail lights
    - EXTREME wash and wax job, lol

    Interior:
    - Cover all the cream fabric interior with white vinyl
    - Reupholster seats with white vinyl stripping, and black fabric
    - Buy black carpet insert ($150)
    - Touch up black interior paint
    - Install white reverse gauges
    - Buy metal gauge surrounding plate, and paint black (same color as exterior)
    - Two 12'' kenwood subs
    - 700 watt Kenwood amp
    - Full Kenwood speaker system
    - Black floor mats

    Engine:
    - Cold air intake (kicker sold his, so I am going to get a new one)
    - Clean up engine/bay
    - Make more stuff red

    That's pretty much it for now, but I am prolly gonna do more stuff to it after all this gets done, only time will tell....

    TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!!

    That all sound pretty good but 4' tall LED's as taillights and 12' subs are way huge. I don't think they'll fit.
    No projects. Life consumes my time and money.

    ha, yeah. I don't even have half of that stereo any more. I sold one of my amps to a member on the board and those subs to another member on this board.

    Do you know how hard 12 foot subs would hit? That would be so awesome. It would probably blow the car apart though.

    I could fit them behind my 4 foot tailights, they would bump hard enoughto play my tracks, but I could do better... lol. Maybe I could jam my 700 JIGGAWATT amp in there too?! lol

    Nah, just strip the interior and trunk and cut the roof off. Then make a huge custom enclosure behind the front seat all the way to the back of the trunk. You may have to just use a 10 footer.

    I don't want to go any smaller then I have to, at the very least a 12 foot sub, and nothing smaller then 4 feet for the tails. Interior, who needs interior. I could uild little bleechers on my subs, and we could sit on that. lol. I wonder if the neighbors would complain?

    Oh, I forgot to list one small exterior Item:

    - possibly mount 90-93 accord stock spoiler with brake LED

    I don't know though, there is a 'hoopty' 3g going around town with one on it, and it looks kinda gross, but maybe that is just because of all the added chrome, and 8 inch 1000 spoke wheels, lol. I hate it when people do gaudy stuff like that to our little pieces of mass produced art!!!!

    About that. This guy was supposed to send it to me, and hasn't yet, so I really doubt that I'll have it by the time you get the car. If I do, then it's yours. If I don't, then we'll have to make other arrangements for you to pick it up if you want it.

    Well that is Marios car and A20A1 has tha same conversion. Well you have a big list there but I don't know how all of that stuff is going to help you beat me at the WEST COAST meet.

    there is a thread called 'these tails are mint' that I started the day I saw those tail lights on Mario's car. There is little diagram that mario drew showing how to wire htem the easy way, and the much better, but harder way too. There is also the HORRIBLY easy way that no one talked about on that thread. Just take the normal red lenses off of a semi trailor, and pit them in holes driled in the tail lights, running off the normal lights in the tail light casing. I would recomend rewiring some LEDS though, taht would look far better. Yeah, just search for the title of that thread.

    Justin, I doubt I can beat you how the car sets right now... but when I put the B18 in there, your gonna get beat!!!!! JK, I will race you though, who ever wins wins..

    Yea Mario has the LED's made for the semi's. The only way you will beat me is with a B18C1 and when the it is time for the meet I will have even more done, so best of luck.

    90-91 Integra B18 130hp
    92-93 Integra B18 140hp
    that's only 5 and 15 hp more than your new accord has. Get a couple bolt ons and you'll have the same power as those B18s.
