Thanks for the comments guys... I dunno if I should leave my boot open at FCS... :P Boot open all day = no battery....is someone taking jump leads? :P
I'm trying to think of somethink to put ontop of the box next to the lil' window... a model of a Mk1 clio would be ace...but I don't have...
^ Hahaha... trial and error rocks so hard!
Turns out, inkjet printers don't really like printing on plastic...What are the odds?
What else to throw in the boot... *ponders* (all this has totally un-done my weight reduction...psk!)

I forgot to add I havent cleaned the glass or tyres yet! ^_^
As for what I'm getting; I'm aiming for an Ek4 (1999 Honda Civic) and doing a B18 swap (1.8 litre engine out of a 'teg type R...)
The darkside is strong... ^_^
-Akira
haha, rice is nice! :D
I've started calling it a C57J in the hope to make it more JDM...but... even the chasis code sounds French :(
It's getting there...getting there... it'll be for sale in a few months... :o

haha, yeah... the spacing is also out on the "lines"... but thats due to the fact I can't make light go around corners... (yet!!!!!)
Haha, had to make the logo myself, I thought I had the colours wrong at one point.... oops! :P
-Akira
Haha...ok...mabye its not... but... its "unique"
Anyway, its not all finished yet, but I thought I'd share the love...
Ta-dar:
A bit closer:
A bit back:
It comes on when the boot is opened, wired into the boot-light. They're 12" cathodes designed for use with ya PC... The amp is also...
There's lots of different technological ways of re-sizing an image, Bilinear, Bicubic, nearest-neighbour, etc. I too was a fireworks ho, but converted to potatoeshop. Anyway, if ur using Fireworks 8, go Modify > Canvas > Image size. At the bottom, you have a drop-down. Experiment with those, I...
Don't use a touch-up pen, cover it up with a Fujiwara Tofu Shop sticker!! ^_^ Or join the "night kids" heh heh heh!
Gutted though... some w*****s in the world.
-Akira
LoL, some good pics ;]
Loving the EK6 civic...haha; legend ^_^
Are those black pits of plastic on the fronts of all the cars to do with timing beams?

Lower back = more weight at back = less weight at front = less traction.
FFs already understeer; putting weight at the back just makes it worse. Also; coilovers at the front with a torsion bar at the back is a bit of a contrast.
As long as you're happy with ur car; its cool. :)
-Akira
vtec for the win! ^_^ hehehe.
Sorry to hear about the torsion bar :( it took me a while to find someone... just follow all the modded saxos for a while; one of em will end up at a boy racer garage soon enough :]

a 1997-2001 Honda Civic 1.5 Lsi.
Gonna source a B16c / B18a1 (1.6 / 1.8 VTEC engines respectively) and do the swap myself :] Gonna go for a JDM / EK9 appearence. White car, white alloys, carbon bonnet, etc. Buuuuuut, I may just end up with a valver, lol.
Clio was a great car to learn the FF...
Thanks for the comments :)
On paper; I don't really like the wheels; the lil' "triangle" bit on the end is far too odd; especially in 15" diameter... but... it really works I think. :]
My car will be "representin' " at FCS; so come over and say hello!!!! :]
I went from 13" fat-profile...
Yeah... look how "low" my car is at the back!
The car understeers WAY too much when its lowered at the back like this... I've had mine that low; and its crap. Comprimising handling so you can look like a 2CV is a bit odd. :/
Each to their own I guess :\
