not feeling this build at all.. you bought a racing harness that won't be allowed on a track.. unless your chasing cones down in a parking lot.. you have stock shocks with springs...

come on man.. this is civic stuff.. grow up.

Car looks cool. It's very unique. As long as you like it that's all that matters. You've had your share of misfortunes/accidents with it, so enjoy it for what it is, and what you want it to be.

I personally don't think the car is that bad. I am a big fan of the stitching work on the seats and the door panels...actually its very reminiscent of exotic car interiors. Personally I think there is a little too much carbon for my taste, but that is again, for my taste. The car over all looks pretty decent.

That being said: I don't understand how someone can post up on a public forum and expect to only receive positive feedback. Not that I condone people for tearing other people apart on the internet all day long, but you can't expect everyone to like your car. And if people have negative opinions, they are free to do so because this is a public forum.

Thanks guys!
I just noticed that the two post have been removed, for good reasons. It was early in the morning and i was just thinking "REALLY!" he is going off on me about coilovers and springs! so sorry for going off but whatever. just dosnt make much sense but it is what it is.

I know there will be people that don't like what others do, and I can admit I think some people do thing that I would NEVER do to my car but thats the point, its not my car so I just keep it to myself.

either way, I do want to apologize for what i said at the end of my last deleted post.

so I got the rear quarter panel flares on, going to be cutting the lip off the quarter panels thursday. I also got my 4point harness mocked up and a few other things here and there.

Firday we had a meet and I took her out on the road for the first time in what seems like forever. It was a blast and i now know i REALLLLLY need an alignment.

Thats all for now.

Hey guys. Been slow on the build and I know, no new pics.
newest parts installed are Megan Racing coilovers and Megan axle spacers.

Last week I lost my passenger fender on i40 so I have decided to change the front end up a bit. I have Spoon style fenders on order (should be here thursday), I am keeping the same c-west front bumper but I'm going to install the other one I have that isn't busted. Eventually I will get the Spoon style front bumper and alter it a bit. I talked with my friend Frank and he has a GoTuning rear bumper for sale that I'm going to put on the car as well. after all this happens I'm going to be wrapping her up in a undisclosed vinyl, painting the roll cage black with blue flake, and a few things here and there.

Next step is to get my MG on the road so I can do my RHD conversion.

That's all for now, just thought I'd update this since it's been so long.

Got a spoon style bumper from a s2ki member. That's on the car. Spoon fenders are on and flared out 2.5 inches. A-sport rear bumper is on. Spoon quarter panel flares are on order and should arrive august. Downforce side diffusers will be in tomorrow.

I also bought a set of s2k projectors, bulbs, and all that jazz so I will be fitting them into the brake duct hold (perfect fit) and making the bottom corner vents for the brack ducts.

No pictures to share currently but hopefully soon.
