Don't you love those crappy Iphone shots??

All taped up for the Tail of the Dragon! Rt129


Oh the Irony... Over inflated all seasons, a nasty nasty nasty turn, pacing with my dad and the rest of S2ki, and understeering like a boss... This was the Snake btw not the Dragon

You may think I'm lying, but this was all the damage along with my crap stained boxers... Luckiest and scariest day of my life hahaha



After 2 hours waiting for a wrecker to pull me out, we drove down and ripped up the Dragon!

 

[A_Scamm]

Probably the coolest road trip of my life! I can't wait till I go again
Anyway, I got home and had some work to do...

Installed some red underglow


The Mugen RR era has began...




The guy did a horrifying color match job... had to get her detailed and bring out the car's true color to match the new paint.

 

[A_Scamm]

Again, I'm sorry about these crappy iphone pics, but i think you get the idea.

A little better matched

New Mugen Carbon Fiber weighted shift knob thanks to my beautiful girlfriend!

Picked up the FD2 trunk and depo tails. oh hell yeah

Although all fun has to come to an end... and New York goes through this horrible thing you Cali and southern guys don't know about. WINTER. Had to break out the Knob Sock... <-- Trademarked


And worst of all...
I put her all back to winter mode :'(


More to come in March-April when it's not cold as f*ck and snowing every night...

Thanks guys! hope you liked it

Welcome to the forum. Great looking car BTW and holy crap! That crash! Lucky as heck.

ex NY-er and 8th gen owner also. Hahaha was just back in NY this past week. Loved the return to salt and snow.

 

[MrsJrotax101]

Wait a minute!? You were the 8th gen that was with the S2ki group in September when 9thcivic was there, weren't you?
I swear I saw your car and plate. A bunch of us were wondering if you were with us or not. Crazy!
Glad to have you over here!

Went down with S2ki cuz my dad and a few buddies are in it. I saw a lot of you guys in Fontana. I believe you all stayed like right across the street from the fields right? That trip was amazing

 

[MrsJrotax101]

Yeah, a bunch of us were there!
This time we're going from the 17-20th of Sept.

Last year was awesome until it got to the weekend. It was so packed and so full of police it wasn't even worth driving.

 

[MrsJrotax101]

Yeah, we got out to the first photographer and then turned around.

@jrotax101 and @Nix shared a Jetski LOL

 

[13whitesisedan]

Love what you have done i plan on doing full jdm rr conversion when time and money permits.

 

[Nix]

Oh man yeah, we did see your car last fall! I kept asking everyone who the guy in the white 8th gen with NY plates was. hahahaha.

I bought mine all separately from BaysonR Motorsports. All the parts fit perfectly. The only complaint I have is with the rear lip, but this is with every single Mugen RR rear lip from every seller. The exhaust will rub against the bottom of the lip causing it to burn. You have to get longer exhaust hangers to make it not hit. I love my setup though and totally recommend getting it.
