[meme405]

Ok so if you dont know, or haven't been keeping up, i started an RSX prject which was like a bunch of mini-mods.

I'll put a link to it in a second.

Here it is:

Anyways, the project is by no means done i am just going to stop working on it for awhile, so im going to do a final update on it and then im done for awhile.

I have made some progress since last time but not much...

Here we go.

I got a new chassis since from the last one bruned right up cause of "my special upgrade..."

I did some sharpieing to it...(i will eventually do the bottome plate this colour too...)

same with the back deck...and you may notice i have some thick custom springs on there that are ten times better than stock ones, or upgrade ones.

here is som,ething i did since last time, i sanded off the turn signal part on the head light cover ( the yellow part)

ehh whats so special about it? no offence

[mustang-04]

you know, not having any turn signals is gonna give you alot of traffic violations and make other drivers a little pee'd at you?

eh! lol

i have some thick custom springs on there that are ten times better than stock ones, or upgrade ones.
how so?

[meme405]

haha i told you i wasnt finished updating it...ill do that now..

Here you can see i tinted the back taillights:

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/meme405/14-07-07_0903.jpg

on the left untinted on the right tinted.

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/meme405/14-07-07_0905.jpg

with both of them tinted...you can also see here the acura, RSX, and the acura symbols which i have blacked out:

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/meme405/15-07-07_1004.jpg

i did it with sharpie but i will repaint that part of the car later so it matches perfectly...

what have i done thats so special...nothing really, i said it was mini mods...

i have done tail light tinting, prep work for tons of lights and a cool light kit that flashs and dances ( italked about it in the other thread...).

i have my gas cap, and some other stuff i dont even remember...LIKE MY DUAL EXHAUST( nearly forgot about that one.......)

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/meme405/15-07-07_1003.jpg

I also have a hinged hood, and custom engine...:

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/meme405/14-07-07_0935.jpg

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/meme405/14-07-07_0934.jpg

i plan on having more lights than new york too...

with:

4 front head lights
2 fog lights
4 back lights
2 exhaust lights
8 underglow lights
and i already installe my engine neons ( which is 2 lights..) seen here:

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/meme405/23-06-07_1910.jpg

My lights are all going to be hooked up to this:

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s52/meme405/23-06-07_2052.jpg

its a borad that has different options like:

on, flash, strobe, and dance with the beat of music, which it senses...

other than that i cant remember what i have done too it. again this preject is not over i will continue at a much later date...

Hope you like

Team accents member ( which reminds me this car will be painted team accents style with checkers like this...

Edit: the cars name is "Night rider"...i will make a custom plate for it that says that, instead of "i kandy". "night rider" it will also be stenciled on the car... ( not in quotes....lol)

[xmodificationer]

[meme405]

it means that you post twice in a thread one after another, before anybody else says anything between your posts...

and can we get back to my project...? do you like it? what should i do with it...what looks good...what needs to be redone...stuff like that...

[BOBCABOB]

nice car, i like the tinted tail lights

[xmodificationer]

ehh its alright nothing reall special i really like the black rims tho

[bondo]

ehh its alright nothing reall special i really like the black rims tho


it has it's ups and downs but if you read his entire post you would know that most of the downs are to be fixed.

i'm digging the lit engine bay.
you got just enough light to accent the feux engine without being overpowering and the color is great!

the car is looking pretty good but remember, sharpie ink isnt paint.
the problem is that sharpie ink isnt really black at all and it stands out against true black.
i know you said you plan on fixing it but you made it sound like your going to brush paint over the spots you sharpied.
my advice would be to bite the bullet and repaint the entire body with dark violet accents since that's what your LED color is.
follow one of the many painting tuts(if you need links, im here) and buy a couple cans of paint and some sandpaper(about $15.00 for the whole kit and kaboodle) and make it a smokn' RSX.

as for the lenses, i would paint the rounded bottoms flush with the line that runs through them.
this would make them look a bit better if left untinted because the casting line from when they molded the lense sticks out like a sore thumb.
if you tint the lenses(please dont use sharpie) it would look alot better without painting the rounded parts.

so far though, it looks great.
you cant have a project without the start of a project......:bigwink:


cheers,
Bondo

[TheB1GDude]

Its a good looking project and I can't wait to see the final version but just one little question for you..... the RSX is like the smallest shell out there (except for maybe the scion) do you really have room in there to fit that funky light box you plan on using?

[xmodificationer]

well if ur going to paint the decks atleast do it right like i did

[taiwanesekid05]

couldn't u have jsut used nail polish remover for the turn signals?

[ferrarip4.5]

so what the hell is the special upgrade anyway..maybe i missed it in the other thread its just so long...

[garder121]

the rsx is sweet i like all the lights & nice job paintin the decks x

[DRFTKO]

Yea, he could have done that. Meme one word to describe your project....RICER.

Jon

I think he just wants a flashy ricer.

Jon

if you dont like the project...then stay out of the thread;)

[meme405]

oh right i thought i wrote what the upgrade was...

Ok everyone know there is this turbo thing, which when you buy you attach it to your like motor and it smooths out your power spikes, it supposed to give you "longer battery life", and "smoother driving" ect...

My hooby shop manager was playing around with my car while i was down there and put a smaller version of this same capacitor on the car, however he placed it in such a way that it was not atached to the motor it was atached to the car, leaving you free to swap motors without having to have tons of motors with turbo's attached...

either way i did kinda notcie a difference but after a good 15 minute run it just burned up...

i definetly noticed a diference in run time though...about a 5 minute diference infact...

It was something along the lines of this basis:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Xmods-Evolution-Turbo-Motor-Upgrade_W0QQitemZ260139007859QQihZ016QQcategoryZ34 063QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

either way my hobby shop manager paid me for my xmod when it was broken...

and while we were talking he also said some other interesting things about my track and some races, you can read all about that in my Track thread thats in the general section....

And my car isnt that ricer i mean come on...and w/e i dont even care if it is...

EDit: i was just thinking about it being ricer, and what would you prefer that the RSX be muscle...

no because then you would make fun of me for that...

should it be an off roader, no

what else can it be? stock? stocks kinda ***...

so you know what i dont care if it is ricer because it sure beats the other options for the RSX
