top view. i got the wishield leds hooked up to the brake lights since they draw less power....and the fact that the headlights would turn off if i spliced them into that

finally the back side with custom fart can ( exhaust )

moose 02-10-2004 05:11 PM

vroooooooooooooom a fart can you need to put air suspention in it then you could do crazzy stuff

skklown 02-10-2004 08:45 PM

lol...an air supsension would be ricey but hard to do.

SuPrBuGmAn 02-11-2004 09:36 AM

The rims really aren't that ricey.

Use the Tenzo Rs or the 5 spokes and paint them chrome or yellow :P

...or get the spinners.

spinitsidewayz! 02-11-2004 11:51 PM

i bet that thing scrapes:p how did you attach it?

skklown 02-12-2004 04:40 PM

the bottom doesn't scrap at all. all i did to lower the car is mount in on the skyline chassis cuz the tab is lower. i also shaved down the back mount. i bet it would scrape real bac if i got a body kit though

spinitsidewayz! 02-12-2004 09:33 PM

i meant the muffler:)

skklown 02-13-2004 08:49 PM

for the exhaust i just made an indent in the bumper and superglued the exhaust to it. holds pretty well....plus i dont race this cars so i dont gotta worry about it

spinitsidewayz! 02-13-2004 09:02 PM

nice. i made my muffler from a dead bit clone motor. i superglued a cut piece of antenna at the end and i soldered 2 staples to the can and used a washer to press them snugly under the center rear bumper screw. since my skyline is lowered and i had it sticking out from an angle the thing scraped like half of the time lol especially under heavy cornering. it never broke off yet tho but since you dont use ur civic to race scraping shouldnt be a problem:D

my euros or altezzas...wutever u wanna call em

SuPrBuGmAn 02-14-2004 03:32 PM

I would call them clear tail lights since your car is neither an Altezza(Toyota) nor European.

Its amazing the kind of stupid terminology that the "racing" community can come up with...

skklown 02-14-2004 09:14 PM

altezza or euro is the model while the makers of them are the make. if u know wut i mean. like the model is a civic and the make is honda. eurolights are made by lots of companies like apc

SuPrBuGmAn 02-15-2004 03:52 PM

Altezza is a car, made by Toyota.

Euro is a unit of money, or a word short for European, adjective for someone/something across the lake from the US.

Altezza and Euro's are both retarted adjectives for clear tail-lights found on Toyota/Lexus popularized by "street-racers". Its an ignorant description for a style of tail-light, I know what it is - my point is that they are incorrect descriptions.

Call them what they are, clear tail-lights.




... and APC makes some of the cheapest crap you can buy for anything on round wheels.

FlySkyline 02-15-2004 04:31 PM

correct me if i am wrong, but the clear tailights originated on European touring cars, hense the name euro tail lights. when they first appeared here in the US, they were on the suv's made my lexus(i forget the name). then lexus put them on the altezza, making them the first cars in the US to have clear tailights, hense the name altezza tail lights. but anyways call them what you will, they still look hot as hell. i like them even better with the carbon fiber on a black car

skklown 02-15-2004 05:02 PM

yup....the only time altezzas/euros look bad are when they are on a beat up car or on a pink car. this girl that lives close to my skewl has a pink civic and it is the ugliest thing ever

FlySkyline 02-15-2004 05:43 PM

pink:confused: for a car:confused: i didnt even like the pink car from 2 fast 2 furious, never mind on a civic

skklown 02-15-2004 07:19 PM

lol...i saw a pink pt cruiser once by a mall in canton

SuPrBuGmAn 02-15-2004 09:29 PM

I don't know if they were used on European touring cars, but I do know they were made popular by Lexus(Toyota) IS and RX series cars here in the US.

Personally, I think they look ricey as hell on anything they weren't put on from the factory.

boxcrash 02-16-2004 07:59 AM

....................
 
Yeah they never used clear tail lights on Touring cars, such as BTCC which was as close to the road car as possible.....European Nascar, which I thought BTCC was WAY better then Red neck racing anyday, until they got all gay on regulations and banned all kinds of crap.

I know I saw this S40, actualy the silver and blue one when I worked for Volvo, it was one bad car for non-aspirated.:D

Not to get off topic, but they where bad-a.
As lite as a Saloon with more chassis rigibility and more downforce.
So they had to ban them, unfair advantage so they claimed.(1st and 2nd all the time)
As well as banning all Quattros from BTCC also.:D
Personaly I think Rydell was just one awesome driver.:)
