my girlfriend just purchased an 04 redline ZR, figured i'd learn all about the car, my ex had an 07 civic Si, worked on it pretty extensively and in all honesty i was quite the honda fanboy...drove the ZR, heard that VQ roar, and now it's more like WHOnda?....anywho....on to the pics...

this car is BTW the hardest car to shoot..... but hopefully these pictures are up to par....once i found the right angle i exploited it for all it was worth... enjoy

oh BTW, are there any like "cheap" easy mods that don't cost alot like there were with the civic?

 

pics of girlfriend?

 

there is nothing cheap when it comes to the z.....enjoy!!

 

how'd i know that was coming.....

 

figured, don't care, the z is already faster than the Si was with I/H/E i'll probably just throw an intake on it and call it a day

 

Car forum... lots of doodz... it happens...

Unless you go to the Mini Cooper forum, then they'll want YOUR pics.

 

Intake makes it sound better IMO but no gains really.

 

it was just as bad over on 8thcivic, no harm done....buncha shameless e-fappers.....

 

i've been in love with the way the VQ sounds for quite some time now, and in all honesty the intake really wouldn't be for any serious gains 'cept for a few ponies on the good ol' butt dyno

 

one drawback....shoulda mentioned it....'tis an automatic....boooohisssss

 

Better be nice to that beautiful ZR or your girlfriend will speed away with it - and maybe your next gf will drive a Cobalt

 

oh i'm plenty good to both of 'em, one being more important of couse

 

well allen, certainly not fapping to the wheels....welcome.

 

what u mean "cheap" mod? engine mod? exterior mod? interior mod? sound system mod? suspension mod? WHAT MOD?

 

probably just bits and pieces on the exterior, i think over the next free weekend i have i'm gonna bake apart the headlights and paint 'em, maybe find a good color scheme for the engine cover, and have the exhausts repolished, i attempted it myself last night, but after three hours of hand polishing it still looks like the ZR's previous owner rubbed dirt and grime on them everynight before bed...

 

How much $$$ is cheap to you?

 

it's hard to determine cheap when it comes to modding out a car, i def. don't believe in shortchanging myself on engine mods, but i mean little DIY's that I can tackle would be idea for a while, just to familarize myself with how the ZR works, and stuff like that

 

congrats
things that are relatively cheap:

Engine:
Replace Intake - cheap enough
Get fancy looking wires and plastic pieces that dont do anything (such as carbon fiber covers and stuff)
Replace those ugly green bolts all around the engine bay with shiny ones.

Exhaust:
buy test pipes and install them - $200 ish

Suspension:
buy lowering springs and install them - $200 ish - (hard install, may get expensive for alignment and camber kits - depends on lowering kit)

Exterior:
front clear corners - $50
short antenna (like an s2000 antenna) -$20

Interior:
Shift **** - big $ range

thats all i can think of
Check the DIY section in the forums.

 

Then maybe she should join and ask her own questions. I assume she is a grownup.
