# Crazy Eighty Eight :
I'm I the only one that knows that rice is actually derogatory and subjective and not based on how a car looks as the term "rice" refers to Asian exported cars in America in relation to Asias biggest export "rice" ?

But I digress bring us a blast from the past make it as crazy and as offensive as possible all hail the "rice rocket".

I know that the term also refers to that, but the term "Rice" has evolved from it's previous meaning to what it is now. The car scene got more judging and having to build your car to what other people believe to be cool has lost the true essence of modifying your own car. It's why I love this era. People wanted to modify everything they could.
So blast from the past is coming.

Whether people like it or not I don't know but at the end of the day, it's my project.

Livery time.

So it's time for the "big reveal" kinda post.
Me and Lagano have been working on my 180 to get it finished and running properly.
So now is the final reveal.

I've been making this livery for a while now and got it printed at Art of Wheel with out in-house printer.
It's bright and stands out a lot but it's exactly what I was aiming for

The engine bay also got re-painted with a purple floral design-pattern thing. I love it so muucch.
oh yeah, the 1JZ is working fine too. The power is mental and the sound is to die for.

Impulse Purchases.

So yeah....
I bought a EJ2 Civic.
It has a SOHC D16 in ok condition and....
windows?
uhhm
I kinda want to aim it towards 2001 styling, like fast and furious, but I would probably get stabbed if I did sooo..idk

It cost V$1,450 which isn't bad I suppose.
No real problems, no rust either which is really good.

But that's it for now anyway, bah felicia

why do you have rear sidemarkers though, they're standard only in the US

My game crashed just as I had the car built so I had to rebuild it and I must have forgotten to remove it.
I'll remove them for the next post though, thanks for the info.

A purple vinyl, with the bomex kit, glass or dark headlights and some bbs wheels would be 10/10 !

I was thinking a green or baby blue of some kind since they were popular colours at the time, baby blue being most popular

Nothing big, just a few changes to the Civic.
I went to UpGarage and bought a few things online too.
I bought lowering springs, a 5 lug swap, a set of BBS LM DC rims and a Bomex kit for V$3,090 in total.
The Bomex kit is coming from a different country so that won't be fitted until it arrives in a few days.

The 5 lug swap and lowering springs wasn't too hard to do, it already had coilovers but they couldn't go low enough for my needs.

It certainly looks a lot better lower and with new rims.

Took it out for a drive after and took a picture with my old camera.
Handles a lot better with the new springs.

That's it for today, Bomex kit and turbo coming soon.

Parts: -V$3,090

Thanks! Sad to hear about the Verossa but on to better things hopefully.

Nice progress on that civic! How about your Skyline btw?

I'll come by to pic up the engine by tomorrow if that suits you?

New Wheels....again...

So I got new wheels for my 180SX...
the Dori Dori's weren't big enough and didn't really match my style.. so I swapped them for a set of AVS Model 5 in blaaack.

It looks gangster asf now

Saletl: I don't really know about the Skyline tbh. I don't really feel motivated to work on it right now so it's just sitting there.
The engine is also here so you can pick it up right now if you want to.

Thanks Ward. Your S15 is really nice too though.

Crazy_Eighty_Eight

Damn son, out here stunting, I swear that 90s filter really fit perfectly with that Civic, and that S13 is just mesmerizing to look at probably would blind people if the base color was white. B)

-.-) Just a question yo Skyline what if Idk someone were to take it off yo hands what would be your price ?

Just asking for a friend ?
