nala619 · some pictures of my ride

heres a few pics i took in my front yard w/ my bros 91 si hatch.

and heres a pic of my lights. i switched them around just last weekend.

4GSEDAN

nice ride man.

quick question, when you switched your running lights, have you had any problems with having a ridiculously fast blinker?

nala619

yeah, the minute i turn the signal on i notice it was blinking fast! does your signal blink together when the headlights are off and they fluctuate left&right when there on?

nice pix

nala619

thanks! appreciate it. i havnt got a chance to hit the yards yet :[, hoping i can this week to find a lip. ill post a pic of that as soon as i get it on the sedan!

4GSEDAN

correct, about the alternating when the headlights are on.

I was just wondering because it did that on my last car, but i did not have time to figure how to fix it.

so i was hoping you had an answer.

C-Rex

Looks cool man was gonna switch my lights too.. Still not sure what to do Confused

nala619

4gsedan, sorry i dont have an answer, i actually dont mind. it does get anoying but i like the turn out of it. Very Happy

Nice pics.

Did you leave the 1156 bulbs or switch to a 1157 socket?

I have 1157 sockets on my sedan from a 94 integra, and wired the 5watt element to the side marker wiring, so when the turn signal turns on, the running light turns off, so if ether filament burns out, it will still blink.

nala619

nah i didnt switch anything, just left it w/ the 1156 bulbs. i didnt really think about what you did but it sounds great. i just went and flipped the wires around. maybe ill do the same when i get some side markers.

JDQCIVIC4DR

careful with the 1156 bulbs on the bumper lights i seen some wires melt when they are on too long. i went with a 1157 socket in the bumper lights and wire tap to the parking light on the corner lamp so they stay on when the lights are on and they also signal.

JDQCIVIC4DR

i got a ticket for modified lights by CHP cause my lights signal fast! By law theres no law stating mount of flashes per min. as long as it flashes. CHP station signed my ticket off my ticket asking what is modified lights. told him its cause they signal fast he said theres no such. few months later i changed it to my stock flasher cause it catches there attention.

nala619

really? thanks for the heads up on the bulbs. ill go switch them out asap. and the CHP thing, that sucks i never woulda thought someone would stop you for that. i hope i dont catch there attention :[ i like the way it looks.

JDQCIVIC4DR

$10 bucks per sign off. i had over 20 tickets on my ef 4 exhaust tickets 10 ticket for light, crack on window, too low, no front license plate, etc. A shop called auto indulgement sells adjust able flashers they can blink very slow or very very fast $50. on the bumper light dont have to worry about wire melting if you run with the 1157 sockets. you can use relays if you want to run with 1156 if the bumper lights are on the lights signal fast if they are off they signal regular.

nala619

wow, they pinned you down w/ a lot of stuff man. what i did was just extend the wires. then used something to connect them, dont know what there called -_- . but thanks for the advice. oh and check it out. notice somethin new?

EF Sedan Enthusiast

front lip and a corner light that needs adjusting Wink

but props on the front lip, it compliments your sedan well.

89civicracer

Nice shots!!!!

nala619

thanks :] im happy w/ the look and my corner light was always like that from when i bought it, the stock ones were the same way too, i dont know what to do to make it straight, any suggestions on what i can do?

89civicracer

Maybe bend the clips they go into??
Not sure. . when i had the 88-89 corners, used a dremel to the tabs and got them to line up. . . That was a long time ago. . Not sure how the 90-91's look like or hook up. . . Crying or Very sad

~Sp33~

Just bend the mounts until your happy.

nala619

alrighty cool. thanks guys

ive never seen wires melt, it should be less than 2 amps going through the wire...and the wire is 18AWG. But i have seen the bulb get hot enough to distort the top of the reflector, just above the bulb. Cars that have horizontal always lit lights like that, my example being a 01 eclipse have a metal plate just above the bulb, to disapate the heat. Have had no problem with the dim filament of a 1175 or 2057 bulb melting mine though.

JDQCIVIC4DR

its Lip from the 88 sedan integra?

nala619

yeahh, it was actually a 2 door.

nala619

hmm what do you guys think of these shoes? idk what they are does anyone know? annd do you think it would be to "ricey" looking? not trying to go for that look at all Confused

heres the pics

ill post pics up w/ one of them on the car tomorrow. i wanna see how it would look.

~Sp33~

Nice dish, i like them.

nala619

thanks, i like em too. im hoping theyll look good on the sedan.

EF Sedan Enthusiast

4GSEDAN

EF2dudesocal

i seen some in a rex and they look cool the dude painted them black.

nala619

siickk. you have any pix of it? i was originally suppose to have these on instead of the fat fives but a relative of mine surprised me w/ the fat 5s. but anyways rain sucks! couldnt try on the wheel to see how it would look. ill post it up asap once it stops raining! thanks for the great feedbacks

nala619

i fit the other 15s im planning to put on and they look pretty sick so i think im for sure going to ride on these now. hopefully i can just tire swap from the fat fives to those this weekend once i install my camber kit & get it aligned. lmk what you guys think!

and heres some pics i took too.

~Sp33~

I think the new rims will looks great.

nala619

awesome. thankss spee!

nala619

hey wsup guys, i havnt had a chance to get tires for my other wheels, been busy w/ school but heres a little update on my car.

JDMric1

nice pictures the sedan looks good

nala619

thanks! im happy w/ whats going on my car :]

EF2dudesocal

it looks pretty nice. what color is that? it looks like a super dark blue. what other plans u have for it?

nala619

EF2dudesocal

u and me both man. im dropping in a D15B Vtec i dont think the B16 would be smog legal because the power ratio on it. altho it would be cleaner. but i like the color i would keep it that way. what kind of suspension are u running?

nala619

ahh really? around my place the folks i chill w/ say b16 would pass smog. ill need to look into that. but have fun w/ that d15b vtec :] i cant wait to have the money to go to the engine. the color of my car is actually like one of kind.the only color here in san diego [ i think ] :] im not looking foward to changing it. intrax suspension. hand me down from my bro, not to sure what the drop is. i think its around 2-2.5 roughly?

EF2dudesocal

well im not really sure about the smog but some people have told me they couldint but i say look into it. thats why i went with a single cam because it almost wieghs the same and then u can run vtec u just have to convert it into OBD1 and u can pass smog with no problem.

91EFCIVIC

Is your paint factory original? My civic was close to that color before I painted it. Looks great, love the stance and shoes. Keep up the good work.

nala619

Mattes

ME-B-N-ME

I like'em over the Fat fives

89civicracer

It looks great. . love the color. . .It's coming along nicely!

nala619

thanks guys! btw i have a question about rolling fenders. im also hopin that new struts will help a little since mines are shot already. but on to the point my tire on the rear right rubs when i turn left mainly. im kinda scared to roll them, you guys think you can give me some tips? thanks i appreciate the help !

super sexy.

nala619

~Sp33~

Suites the car, looks good.

nala619

thanks dude! ill post a full pic of it soon.

stoddard

those will look sic on a sedan

nala619

what up, its been a while. this is what ive been up to lately. havnt done much.

finally got my exhaust, just went stock looking. dynomax. i like it. i havnt got a recent pic, but thats when it was getting fitted on.

and this is how my car is sitting.

~Sp33~

Looks really straight. Nice.

nala619

thanks, still tryna get my distributor for the MPFI. im lagging on the money :[. is there any other dizzy i can use besides the SI one?

cleanRENO90

you can use an ex one too. but its pretty much the same as the si.

nala619

awesome. i wanted to make sure if there was any other options. but since there the same, hopefully i can come across one soon. thanks

cleanRENO90

no problem. ex's are really hard to find in any junkyards around me, possibly around you there might be crx si's, or regular civic si's. or just go new nippondenso.

nala619

ill check out the yards here and see if i get lucky. i just wanna find one if possible to save me some cash. but if i have to, i might go brand new..

cleanRENO90

i'm not 100% sure, but i've taken a few dizzys apart in my day, and i think you can convert your dual point base to a multi point.but you still have to get the guts to change it.

nala619

holy, its already confusing enough to see a tranny opened up w/ all those gears and syncros, etc. cant imagine what it would look like inside a dizzy O_O

cleanRENO90

its not too complicated. you have to open it up anyways to change the rotor or the coil. theres only a few more connectors and what not. maybe i'll make a tech thread on how to do that.

nala619

you should, it would help. my brother actually changed his coil out for his civic, but i didnt know that was an intercore part of the dizzy.

cleanRENO90

you gotta unscrew all kinds of things in it. i made 1 good dizzy out of 2.

91jdmed3

I bought some HELLA PROFESSH hids(10k) and added a lip to on my EF.. Looks cleaaan. I'll post some pics later today.

nala619

nala619

whoa its len 2

nala619

damn, your pretty far from me. im down south, paradise hills.

whoa its len 2

Ah thats not too far. Im down there all the time. Last time I spotted a tan 4 door with a kaminari kit over by Titas Kitchenette/Family Loompya. Some grandpa was driving it lol.

nala619

lol, did you see if it was automatic w/ a ghetto rig shift knob? my buddies brother inlaw has the kiminari kit on his sedan but it was auto ghetto rigged shift knob. haha, im surprised i dont see you around. im out most of the time, more between briarwood n bayview though. we should hook up one of these days.

nala619

went to a local meet. found out about it last minute and i just took my car. turned out to be some sort of can foods fundraiser to help the people in need for some help. i just saved these pics from a local site here in san diego. www.sdrev.com thought id share with you guys.
