bibby>Chode Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 So today i got up, and got the rest of the gunk off the car where the window visors were. I also cleaned the engine bay; ie: Pressure washed, then scrubbed with a brush. It looks like a completely different engine. I also detailed the shit out of the inside of the car. I am really pleased with the way it came out after these few things, it's really starting to shape up nicely. I ahve got to get some tint on that thing, or either not drive it, hehe. then a new steering wheel, and some new wheels. I am going to stay with 15's on this one, with a nnice 2" drop. It should look hot. This thread isnt going to go as quickly as my black honda's thread, but i will update it periodically as i do things, or jsut take more pics. Before i show pics of the ext/int cleaned up, you guyts have to see this engine bay. I a sprayed degreaser on it, and let it sit, then pressure washed it with soap directly on top of the degreaser. Then I risned that off, and soaked it with degreaser again, and scrubbed it with a soapy brush. It is an incredible difference. There are still some spots i couldn't get to, but when i turbo it, i'll drop the motor, and clean it up real nice. First, the before... (you can also see the old dingy headlights.) OK, now the after shots! Alright, now for the rest of the pics... God, I really hate those wheels. Design, and color. Black only belongs on black. See my other thread.

bibby>Chode Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 Rear looks a lot better w/o the Euros. I am planning on some Si tails on it.(red/white, no orange) Moonroof! She is tickled pink about that. I am indecisive. Needs new wheel BAD! INT is clean, floor mats could use a good shampoo.

Wheels i am either going to go with some Si wheels, or some gold with a polished lip. 15" Si wheels Or some gold with polished lip. This is the car that got me thinking gold wheels. I really really like that look. Right now, i am prolly going to go with the gold, but if i dont go with gold, it will be si wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bibby>Chode Posted October 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 those looks too much like drag radial rimsI was more so just trying to get a feel of the color. I don't like that style of wheel at all, just the color combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
