Twitch's R18 build

[13civicsi4]

Nope. Black

Oh alright I was curious to how it looked I'm painting mine and doing the h green soon

 

[Twitch]

I wouldn't add more green. I think the car looks fantastic as is. Did you end up keeping the spacers front and rear?
Team3d sold a cheap product. I'm shocked.

Thank you. I think it looks good too but I may just be getting bored.

I know, right! He's such a stand up character. I was naive then... It's actually more than 2 years now that I think of it. Anyways, lesson learned. You get what you pay for.

Spacers in the front rub on the liner. I ended up taking them off again but I may put them back on this weekend. I can't decide.

Do it. You can always take it off. Not the look I'm going for but in some instances. Do you have a build?

If that's what you wanna call it I haven't done a whole lot to it.. I actually ordered stickers green for the emblem and will clear over them..

 

[Twitch]

Got bored today and I may have done a bad thing.... I'll be back to explain these later.

Not sure about the wheels.. Kinda darker/lighter in certain places.

 

[Twitch]

Chameleon blue/green.

Name that beer!

 

[13civicsi4]

Looks good

Nice update.

Founders all day ipa. I know that label.

I like the new colour choice for wheels and the car looks great.

something seems a little off IMO. I think it might be the lime green accent colour that now doesn't seem to go because there might be too many colours going: gray, black, lime green, dark green, silver plus the orange licence plate (haha!). If the lime green accents were changed to the dark shiny green I think it would look even better. (R18 badges and callipers). Just my 2 cents.

 

[Twitch]

Yeah the greens are a problem. They've always been a problem actually. The calipers were too dark green before but now with the wheels they may have made more sense as they were. The lime green actually matches the badges better than it did before. It's hard to tell in the pictures. I need to look at it again in the morning and see how I feel.

The wheels were really a whim. My wife and I were looking at colors online and she picked that out. In a perfect world I would like a lime green/black pearl but I need to find a professional paint shop for that.

 

[Pauly99to17]

I don't know anymore. I looked at it again. It looks good. I'd leave it.

 

[Twitch]

Ha ha. You sound like me. I'm standing on the front lawn all day with the car on jack stands painting the calipers and wheels. I'd do a coat roll it out and look at it. Then go back paint some more and come back out. I'm just standing there saying hmm I don't know and my wife's yelling at me "it looks fine just put the wheels back on". She's actually the one who did most of the painting.

 

[Twitch]

No new updates. Working on the last step of my tune with Vit. Hopefully then I can get an Edyno and see whats what. For now just some pictures.

I'm really liking the wheels. You can see the green real well today in the bright sun.

Hey, hows the RV6 downpipe with Vit tuned treating your car?? good power through out? and first impression?

 

[Twitch]

The downpipe is one of the best mods out there. The response is better throughout with a bit more power on the high end.

Vit finished tuning my car a few months ago. No dyno as he told me it's impossible to get good results on an auto. I'm very happy with how the car drives now.

you didn't do his edyno thing he has to see numbers? Or maybe he doesn't have one for the r18?

I sent him a pull following his directions online and I was told it's too hard to get an accurate Edyno on an auto. I don't know if I did it wrong or if he left out a step but he didn't seem too keen on doing it anyways. After such a long time to finish the tune I got frustrated and moved on. I'm done with this car and I'm looking on to the new hatch. I'll probably get an si or CTR for the next project and keep this as a beater

 

[Tak]

I am actually waiting to see some #s. Anyway it is what it is.
I also got the same idea about leasing the CTR when it comes out and keeping my r18 as a beater. The new CTR will be my weekend cruiser ONLY and collecting dust during the week.

Hey Twitch does your car actually feels faster?
I know you said that you really like how it drives, can you explain a little bit more?
Thanks!
