Darksyde Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 v8 power for those people who dont like the rear end, id get used to it, because if you line up with him thats all you will be seeing Correct me if i am wrong but i thought that the ASG 5.0 had roughly the same amount of HP as the stock 3.4? Just a lot better sound out of the pipe. Being a 8 and not a 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matts93z34 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 The ASG 5.0 stage 1 has around 250 and the stage 2 has 290-300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFromColorado Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 that's a very beautiful car you got there.. where'd you get the front/rear bumper covers from? --Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matts93z34 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 The front and rear bumper is for a 94-97 Honda Accord. They fit but it took a lot of custom for the rear to fit the front was just a matter of extending the sides. The exhaust part on the rear was the only thing used from the Honda bumper everything else was made and shaped by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsgrntld187 Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 I guess the underlying question is was the engine worth it? I mean, sure you can say you have a V8, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 yeah really, id love to have a v8 sound/power coming out of a lumina. to me though, in the sig pic, the wheel wells look to be different sizes? maybe its just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biff85ta Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 The ASG 5.0 stage 1 has around 250 and the stage 2 has 290-300. Have you dyno'd yours?? HP claims are all fine and great but I like to see some sort of proof. Timeslips also work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matts93z34 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 I dont think the engine and tranny were worth the $9600 that you would have to pay. It was more just to say that you have a v8 in a lumina. If i had to do it all over again i would have rather had a superchared 3.8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matts93z34 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 I will hopefully have the car dyno in april were i live there are no speed shops and in april there is a car show that one of the sponors brings a dyno so i will have it then.

buckethead Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Hey man, don't let anyone here bash your car. You built it for you, not for them. They call your car rice, but rice is when people throw body kits and wings on their shitty econo-cars just to make them look fast without actually being fast. With that 5.0 in there your car has the sack to blow any one of those cars out of the water. Not to mention the fact that you can say you have a ONE OF A KIND CAR! Great work, I love it, and don't let anyone else give you shit about it. And to all those haters out there, wtf is the matter with you flaming on this guys $20k+ investment? If you don't like it, don't do it to your car! Ever hear of "constructive criticism"? If you're just gonna tell him you hate it and it looks like shit, FUCK OFF!

93CutlassSupreme Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 rice also means adding shit to a car that doesn't do anything. what exactly do a body kit and a wing do? nothing. almost all wings look like shit, and most body kits are too extreme and look out-of-place anyways, at least he upgraded the engine. a 4.9 is a huge improvement over a 3.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like it, don't do it to your car! Ever hear of "constructive criticism"? If you're just gonna tell him you hate it and it looks like shit, FUCK OFF! I disagree. When someone asks, "Let me know what you think.", any opinion be it positive or negative is fair game. Now if he didn't ask for opinions, then I might agree with you. When I post pics of my car, I never ask what anyone thinks because I pretty much don't give a damn, I only care what I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay3800 Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 I like your car because it's unique. As for the styling, I think it's ugly. However, the powertrain is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matts93z34 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 I was looking for both good and bad comments that exactly why i said let me know what you think. I understand that these cars were not suppose to look like this and I was trying to determine how many people would be interested in the kit, because my friends and i were determineing if we should make a mold and sell this kit to people, but they are no longer my friends after they fucked me on a shitty paint job and were going to take $1500 profit. I accept everyones opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 well, i don't think it looks too bad...the only thing that i really don't like is the wing...the tining on the windshield is kinda weird too... ...other then that, its not bad at all!...

matts93z34 Posted November 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I had the vinyl on the windshield when i was in a car club, the club went under, i already got tint on the windows and never got the front windshield done so rather than have no tint this was the only other option that i had to block the sun.

Carotop Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I really like the body kit. But the interior just is too much. I don't know why people like to match their interior and exterior. It only looks good if the exterior and interior are black. But for you I would rather see black interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matts93z34 Posted November 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 The interior is black and grey and the exterior was supposed to be all white but the painter painted them black because they used to be black when i had the white and black exterior even though i told them to paint it white.

Carotop Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Ok the pics make it look kinda white on the interior. You shoulda done a darker grey then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk92z34getrag Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 I like this car. I love this car. This car is sick as hell. ...I hate the rear end... actually I only hate the taillights. I think the only thing that makes the Integra lights look bad on there is the trunk lid. The way it rounds down at then end makes the car look boring and old. You could probably even mould a small lip spoiler onto the trunk lid and it would look a million times better. or even just square it off with some sheet metal. I think you could have picked better taillights to confuse people with. Camaro tails? I think you should have taken the lights from like a 91 or 92 Camaro and put them in with a 92 Z28 spoiler (the taller rectangular one) to square off the rear end. But, since you didn't do it, that means my conversion will be the only one. This car is freaking pimp though. At first I really didn't like it. At all. Period. But I visited the cardomain site again and again to get ideas about the body moulding and I really like the front end. The interior is absolutely clean. 8/10. Different taillights. If you want a rice car rear end, maybe you couild've gone with late model Supra tails? Or... Eclipse. the 2nd gen Eclipse tails would've looked mean. 3000GT? I don't know. I know there's a better choice out there somewhere though. However, if you're satisfied with it, that's what matters. I know a lot of people that don't like my Z. All I can say is "I can smoke you, and I look good doing it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
