CleanGSR Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 when you get time and cash, it needs an exhaust IMO ::EDIT:: "broken style" FTW! I disagree. Exhaust on a 62hp car is both dumb and pointless. Maybe, a small exhaust tip or having the current exhuast sprayed black, but wasting money on an actual exhaust setup on an 18 second car would be pointless. The car will get a new exhaust setup when I do the turbo D16 swap in a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C92hatchX Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 apexi n-1 or ws2 FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 apexi n-1 or ws2 FTW! Read above. And neither of those is going to best suit a turbo D setup. I'll be doing a vibrant flat black muffler and vibrant resonator (possibly 2) with custom piping. Haven't researched yet to see if 2.5" or 3" is better for around 200-210whp but I'm guessing probably 2.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 N1's look horrid on hatchbacks of that gen. Not to mention they're obscenely loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Here's a couple new pictures after the alignment. -3.7 degrees camber FTL..lol. However I've talked to a bunch of people who have run that much with toe at zero with now irregular wear so I should be fine. Oh yeah, and I found a guy that is going to give me (for free) his entire a/c system from his 90 civic sedan. All I need to buy is the a/c lines and get it charged and I should be able to get a/c. Yay for not burning this summer with crappy vinyl seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxscaxx Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 haha, damn, 3.7 camber ? im going to be running 3 in the front and i thought i was nuts i'll probably end up running 3.0f/2.0r, or if i can somehow get 2.0f/1.5r but i dont see that happening. looks good though.

xxscaxx Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Nate, that is stupidly nice man. Can't believe how good you got the paint to look! Wheels suit it extremely well, just keep those chrome lips (as I read u were thinking otherwise). They set the car off nicely.Some nice photos too! yeah seriously...his paint looks better than mine nate, wanna detail my car? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels suit it extremely well, just keep those chrome lips (as I read u were thinking otherwise). They set the car off nicely.Some nice photos too! Thanks, I'm still undecided on the lip idea. Since the tire shop would screw the paint up anyway, I'll probably stick with the polished lip until after I get new tires (not sure when that will be). Then I might consider a repaint....still not sure though. Paint came out really nice and the pictures are more than kind to the paint. It's not without it's defects (shown in the original detail pictures), but for 18 years old, I'm not gonna complain. Dang Nate, looking good. Keep up the good work man. Thank you. yeah seriously...his paint looks better than mine nate, wanna detail my car? lol. Thanks Joe. I would love to detail your car if we lived closer to each other. I would take a lot of joy in detailing something as nice as your STI. I think one of the top next "upgrades" (besides the passenger mirror) is going to be the rear hatch/cargo cover w/ side panels. I get a lot of road noise coming through the trunk area so I'm thinking that would help some. Plus I hate that anybody walking by can see what's in my "trunk"...although window tint will help with that when I get around to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 thanks for the idea. the main problem is general road noise. i do get some rattles too which i think is from the spare tire cover. (excuse my typing.....on my phone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I know the road noise all to well in my crx with the cover. I would suggest getting some rubberized spray on liner and spray that under the rear carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 I know the road noise all to well in my crx with the cover. I would suggest getting some rubberized spray on liner and spray that under the rear carpet. Have you tried that? Does it actually work to reduce road noise? I've thought of doing that but was unsure if it would actually work. I've also seen spray on sound deadeners at Walmart, but again, know little about their effectiveness.

CleanGSR Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Well, it doesn't matter much what it would look like since I will be putting it behind interior panels and under carpets.....but no..the stuff I'm talking about is a black sound deadner spray....looks similar to the truck bedliner.

JDMEkHatchy Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 oh! well that makes sense.. and i think i know what youre talking about now.. either way if you decide to try it and if it works i might do the same to mine since i get a lot of road noise as well... hope it works out for you though... and the hatch is looking mighty sexy by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastigir Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm sure this has been covered, but is it a DX or STD hatch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 STD Hatch. I've also heard of people using the roofing asphalt sheets to aid in sound deadening. They said it works really well but in the really hot weather the asphalt can melt and run. Not a problem on horizontal panels (flat) but on vertical surfaces can be a problem.

Pballer2005 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 STD Hatch. I've also heard of people using the roofing asphalt sheets to aid in sound deadening. They said it works really well but in the really hot weather the asphalt can melt and run. Not a problem on horizontal panels (flat) but on vertical surfaces can be a problem. this is basically the same as the cheaper sound deadeners. i found some stuff that is used to insulate AC ducting for homes, sticky asphalt mat with a heavy foil backing, all self adhesive. it was $18 for a roll that barely did all of my trunk, except for the lid. made a difference but the aread that need it most in my car are the doors and roof. get new seals for all your doors and windows too, this would help a lot.
