heres a few pictures of when i first got her, sorry for the bad picture quality:











a few months ago i purchased a HKS HI-Power 509 cat back exhaust which sounds great in Vtec with a nice burble at low revs or just motorway cruising just need to get the mid box taken out now for a little bit extra noise and hope fully some pops and bangs

Me and my new rocket launcher Exhaust


Box as big as my mum literaly










Exhaust bung -- yeah that will never be used




i Brought a ITG Maxogen of a member on here pretty easy to fit and can feel a bit off a difference from the stock air box and its really looks the part, im buying a red induction hose of a member on here soon which will make it look even better









the most recent thing iv done is had my OEM wheels refurbed and a slight change in colour, Ignore how dirty the car is, iv not cleaned it in a week or two as its been off the road while iv had the wheels done and a few other things to do, will give it a proper detail over the weekend and get some proper pictures of it







this is when they went back on




Future plans are to lower it becasue the wheels really show off how high it is now, and a new inlet mani and mani/sports cat then a Kpro,tempted by HIDs but dont know if i can be botherd to change them for MOTs every year, then a FRSU and that should about do me for a while just some little exterior mods to make it look that bit better, maybe some pre- facelift rear lights then red towing eye and strap,




finaly had time to clean it and heres a few pictures off my effort





















and my new fav pictures of my car





and how she is now




thanks for looking, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know and feel free to slate my wheel colour choice if you like each to there own and all that

[monkey1983]

good work mate,the wheels need some black H's to finish them off. Hks looks :thumbup:

[Darkhawk]

Yeah I'm going send some pms later and get some black Hs and black an red front/rear Honda badges

[baddohc]

Looks good, you got a pic of the silencer for the exhaust buddy??
just wondering if mine is the proper hks one as the photos on the net show it to be different..

its a hks 409..

[Darkhawk]

Yes mate I'll upload it when I get home, looks like a big torch haha

[white-n-black]

Looks great that does :thumbup: your head can nearly fit in that exhaust

[Darkhawk]

Iv tried! Haha couldn't find a bigger one :bigcry:

[dcep3]

good work mate,the wheels need some black H's to finish them off. Hks looks :thumbup:

exactly what I was thinking

[Darkhawk]

yeah, iv only had them since weds so need to get round to it, will look much better when there on

[Darkhawk]

Finaly got my Black H stickers for my center caps, thanks to mook, they make the car and wheels look so much better, heres a couple of pics of them and my new forum stickers :thumbup:

this shows just how bright my wheels actualy are






Picking my lowering springs up on sunday so will make it look even better

[Darkhawk]

well i picked my springs and air intake hose up at the weekend, got the induction hose on now looks great, not got around to fitting the springs yet. bigen the car a good clean and took a picture or two of it with the Black Hs on and i debadged the tailgate earlier,





WAX on WAX of!



Debadged tailgate took me ages to get all the glue off but well worth it




Few Pictures of my car and my mates starlet gt turbo







And this picture was shown to my EX girlfriend by her fiend who dont know, of an awesome car he took a sneaky picture off at the petrol station, o look it was mine :thumbup:

[dcep3]

I think pre-facelift rear lights would look good as they're all red so would go with the wheels better :thumbup:

[Darkhawk]

Yeah i was thinking the same, the lexus look daft,
I'm going start looking for some when I get paid,

on the agenda for next month:

Black my calipers out
Painted cam cover,
Springs on
Source and fit rear lights
Red earthing kit

And anything else small I can think of or anyone suggests to me

[Darkhawk]

finaly got my springs fitted today and it looks alot better than it did before :thumbup: heres a few before and after pictures for now, not overly good and the cars not very clean

ill upload some better ones when i get time to:

Before



After

[matt shardlow]

[Darkhawk]

Yeah I need to sort a few bits out keep wanting to give it a proper detail but everytime
I try it starts to rain or on a good day I'm busy, well annoying, agreed tyre gel
Is needed and I need to paint calipers

[Darkhawk]

heres a video of my HKS Hi_power exhaust with the silencer removed, not a very good video and cant hear the pops and bangs but shows roughly how loud it is when normal driving and booting it, ill get some proper videos from outside soon,




hope it works
