lowlancer Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 You're brave putting that up on here Suppose it looks lower IRL, but will look better once the front comes down. Those wheels aint bad, should look into getting the 13s widened I decided not to do anything to mine thusfar, as it's such an awesome daily, I never get looked at by cops and I'd rather save for a "real" project.

DB8-TypeR Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Haha cant be any worse than driving it around, I get abuse yelled at me at least once a week Yea it doesnt look low, but the mudflaps scrape and all that (well used to till they wore down) This is my daily, my other project will not be welcome here, im just doing it up on the cheap, most of my money goes to my Type R. Mostly just got this as there is only 1600 98spec 4door Type Rs built and only 20 or so in NZ so wanted something that I dont really have to care about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiemk Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 4 door type r? the shuttle is missing something, dish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thousand Dollar Supercar Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 the shuttle is missing something, dish? No, a badge saying "PRO"! I would say it's also missing dual carbs, but it's hard to argue with 600km per $55 tank.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I walk past a 4WD one on the way to work. Ponder leaving a note but don't actually want one Would prefer a Civic 3dr Hatch rather than the shuttle, or a 2nd Gen City. Still, yours looks alright. Not sure about dark rims against the blue to be honest. Maybe something bright like fluro green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB8-TypeR Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 4 door type r?the shuttle is missing something, dish? 4 Door Type R, lots of 96spec ones around, but this is 98spec. I tried for dish, but either cost to much or was wrong stud pattern I walk past a 4WD one on the way to work. Ponder leaving a note but don't actually want one Would prefer a Civic 3dr Hatch rather than the shuttle, or a 2nd Gen City.Still, yours looks alright. Not sure about dark rims against the blue to be honest. Maybe something bright like fluro green. The 4wd are actually 2wd most of the time, rear wheels kick in when front slip, my one has the same chassis/rear trailing arms but is just missing the Diff and all that. I was thinking of painting the centers the same blue as the car, but black is eaiser. I will do one and see how I like it before I make up my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Integra is damn tidy, needs more low though I'm all for kytelers suggestion of fluro centres. Would look like that photoshop you had up on the other forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thousand Dollar Supercar Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I have them (dual carbs), nothing to write home about, they're pretty average Hmm.. I guess the Honda factor overpowers the dual carbs factor then. The 4wd are actually 2wd most of the time, rear wheels kick in when front slip Why do they do it that way? Economy? I seem to recall the Comfortable Runabout Vehicle (CRV) is similar pretend-4WD, and maybe the Audi S3 too.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB8-TypeR Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hmm not a fan of green I must say, I got this so that it doesnt stick out or attract attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 What tyres were on the steels? They looked sweet/give them to me? I'm a fan but it looks too cluttered for my liking. I reckon you should loose those lights on the front and paint the whole wheel a goldy colour because it needs a vibrant colour to stand out against that over powering blue. Fuck that was deep. I'm so so so keen to do an EF of some sort. They are gagging for a slamming on some little wide wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I was thinking of gold actually. Need to keep the lights, headlights are crap and I do a fair bit of driving at night. Old tyres are just normal 14" tyres EF's are hard to slam legally, as they have big guards, can be 100mm from the ground and not be tucking. In saying that its been done, in fact theres one in Hamilton that runs 15x8" +25 Work Equips thats slammed Over in the states Shuttles are done quite a bit, not uncommon to see them with 400hp low boost set ups (<10psi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Yeah, I dunno about those figures though. 400hp from a 1600 SOHC on their gas seems strange. I'm pretty much of the belief these only look decent when ultra slammed, like those ones. Get adjusties and just wind em up when it's wof time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Not at all, those engines can make 800hp with a big enough turbo And many of the higher power'd ones have a Bseries engine which with a simple forged build and a GT3040 can make a reliable 350kw at 18psi Not getting adjustable's just yet, I dont even get minimum wage (apprentice) and I refuse to go into debt for a car, also saving for a house deposit. All quality parts are going towards the Integra to get it ready for the track again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Mean man. Sounds like you got the right idea anyway. Not throwing coin away on the daily. Pics of this slammed one from Hamilton? I used to have a slammed EF but it was back when we were in to fail wheels so it was on 15s and 17's. Needed 13x8's.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
