Damn, someone is a mad JDM hater...

Damn, someone is a mad JDM hater...
no hater here, just thought it be :lol: to have a plate like that made for car shows/events.. same thing with wtfisvtec uk sign..

So I got my replica uk tails in yesterday, tired to install them today, but they were such poor fitment and were a pain in the ass to line up, I just said F it, and kept the uk tails on.
Can you tell which tail is real uk / which is fake?


I'll take better pics of the difference it stops raining here, but while trying to take off that replica tail I broke it, fitment really is that bad...


so for now they go down in my basement with all my other parts.

yea.. i just test fitted the tail so had no wire harness on it or anything and it took me 15mins to get it out.. Josh you are correct sir..I figure if I get into an accident this winter, I think I can afford another set of ukdm tails.

On side note, my buddy Jamey got into an accident and is need of a rear white bumper, I just mentioned to him that I'm willing to cough up my 98+ bumper for free IF he installs the ukdm rear bumper and wires it up for me, waiting to see if he willing to do it but he has heated garage! I need this on the car asap!

heated garage ftw

It was actually a nice day today so I decided to show you guys the difference in replica ukdm tails/real ukdm tails... excuses the filthy teg :p



Only updates my buddy making me a uk fog wire harness for me and as soon as that gets done and it it starts turning nice my uncle and me are going to start prepping my car for paint! :mrgreen: The non cf personal box is on hold until my buddy finds the CF personal box, for decent price.He swears up and down that I will be getting is non cf one.

Question for you guys, is a 5sp brake pedal the same as a auto? will it bolt directly up? I know you can do a 5sp swap but I'm not 100% sure if you have do mod the pedals to make them fit. Only reason I'm asking is it will so much easier buy 5sp brake pedal than to cut my big ass brake pedal to fit my optional pedals.

My choice to install the edm optional pedals are
- installing 5sp pedals
-cutting up the auto pedal to fit the edm optional pedal..

sense the edm pedals are made only for itr which means only 5sp I have to figure out a way to install them on my auto.. the brake pedal the only one I'm worried about. Trying to find the easiest method to this madness!

If that's the case while its freezing here in MO I can use my buddy extra pedals and put the edm pedals on his pedals and just swap out my pedals when it get warm.. does that make any sense? lol

So time for another update...

the other day, my dad decided to test my alarm and this is the end result.


The good new is my uncle (who been body man for 35+years) will be repainting my uk rear bumper now and my parents will be paying for it. I might convene him to fill my emblem holes too.

Also my lip decided to cracked in one spot.I think its cause of the hot/cold weather we have been having in stl and the person that painted the bumper didn't put flexible additive to the paint, and not to mention it had 5 layers of paint on it.Either way its cracked now, and I plan on filling it up with touch up paint.



Now far as the part list I've bought sense last update.....
I bought a set of oem rear valances on TI, and he said they were mint, but they ended up thet weren't... so now my buddy going to fix them... the idiot drill one hole in each valance to attach to the bumper.
Also as many of you know, i bought the oem optional sides/rear from UKintegraUK, they should be at my door next week sometime, until than here a pic of them if you don't remember.

I'll be selling my other oem rear valances as soon as I get this kit...
Also picked up oem itr strut bar and non cf personal box from Lor255.

The personal box I got for free with the purchase of the itr strut bar, ill post pics of that when its on the car.

IIn a maybe a week I'll have the rear bumper on, and the following weeks I'll start installing the parts that i'm hording.. including the uk wheel/optional pedals and oem kit.
