1st, get a proper hood/bonnet in Carbon Fibre
2nd, get a proper set of wheels - white ones
3rd, lose the black trim
4th, lose the "baby on board" nonsense
5th, lose the rear number plate for a regular size one
6th, stick some Bride chairs inside
7th, lose the front and rear window banners unless your 17-20
8th, re-trim the rear seats to match the red Bride ones
9th, don't listen to a word I've just written
10th, (and most important point) don't be fooled by the bluff as point 9 suggests. There is no 9th!

Actually, there is a 9th - buy a set of hood/bonnet gas struts.

He deleted the first post to make us look silly.
Oh well.

Think this is one for the mods to erase, like it never happened.

You failed to notice the laughing message icon, meaning not to be taken at face value. rolleyes
Look, stop being so sensitive - we're all adults here (mainly) and most things said, are said in loving jest.
Besides, you're the newbie, so you have to expect a bit of slagging.
So, up the pictures again, and ride the wave that ensues - good or bad.
If it's banter you shy away from, then you're probably best sticking to lurking or not bothering with forums at all.
Sorry, but that's just the way they are - an extension of everyday life, where you get all sorts.

Just checked out your profile and looked at your car. Quite a rare thing over here isn't it? What engine is in it?

The things i dont like on the car are the stickers, sunstrip, black bonnet and red brake calipers.

Other than that i like it, i think if you dumped the car on its arse, stick with the wheels and maybe get some type r recaro's in there it would be ok.

Go and post some more pics up and just ride the flak you get. Not everyone likes my car but hey! Thats life.

Nice one, well I would put the white bonnet back on because that first pick you posted up looks good. But then again i am into that sort of car with subtle mods.

How long have you had it? I just dropped a B16 in my civic. Much fun to be had, and seems there is no limiter.... Revs to 8700rpm which is fun driving

hi mate

not often i see another da6 about. you've done a decent job of cleaning her up from the first posts

when i found mine up it was pretty ricy too - lexus lights, 17" wheels, 4x4 oem ride height. i always reckon Hondas (and for that most cars) look best with very subtle mods (or at least ones there only to aid performance).

couple of mine, when i first bought her and now:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77

the cars need a front lip spoiler to make them looks best (the earlier 90-91 ones more so), i'm trying to get one from the states as i speak

take a look at www.g2ic.com as well

if you need any tips on parts (as finding them is a nightmare over here) give me a shout, or PM me on the honda revolutions forum, same username

word of warning though - if you're dumping her, you'll need to sort out some chassis bracing too - the chassis is pretty flexy, and dropping her on stiff springs (they'll have to be stiff to stop bottoming out) can cause cracking in the rear subframe and front upper shock mount areas, without some re-inforcement

I think Dan means get 6 x 12 jap plates as they look like 7 x 13's that you have, possibly trimmed a bit. The slightly smaller plates do look a lot better IMO.

I'm not a fan of the bonnet or the red H's, other than that its cool

Would well have a DA if I could afford to run a second car (well actually that would make it my fifth right now, but that's another story! blabla )
