For some reason, at first glance, the first pic reminds me of an EK civic hatchie. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

funny to say that. I have a championship white EK4 hatchie before this car. I drove hatches all my life from my first car a Honda Crx to an integra to an EF hatch to an Eg hatch to another Crx to an EK4 championship white with type R suspension and finally to my alpine white ti. I had an itch to paint it and it's coming out nicely. Hatches rule. Fun to drive, easy to park, and looks vicious as hell. I couldn't picture myself driving a regular e36, HATCHES ONLY for me. My next car will most likely be another hatch as well, probably a Mercedes C230 Kompressor | | | | | 08-09-2007, 08:09 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: long beach Posts: 182 |

I shaved it off. I didn't like the antennae sticking out and I think it looks wayyyyyyy better without it. Reception is still functional and I gain a more sleek look. | | | | | 08-09-2007, 09:39 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: G-dale, California Posts: 1,698 |

Laguna seca blue looks sexy on a ti. I was hoping I could finish it by the socal ti meet, but I don't think i'll finish it by saturday. Im still waiting on my new headlights, AEs, and Apexcone 8000k HIDs. Im also waiting on my m-tech side moldings which come in this monday from a group buy. Laguna Seca Blue FTW!!! | | | | | 08-09-2007, 09:53 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 |
Definately hatchies FTW. I remember my first car was a dodge shadow 2.2 hatchback, was slow but it did what it was supposed to. My buddy picked up a clean red 86 crx si and that thing was a beast compared to my shadow. At that point i knew i was stuck on hathies. He ended up wrecking it right after i found my 87 crx si. Right now its my beater but im going to fix it up a little bit to make it a little more presentable, but the true project is my ti. Right now im prepping it for an m52 but actually have bigger plans for the powerplant and am also contemplating a paint job during the winter after i prep the garage for it. How hard is it to paint a car, ill be attempting it on my crx first because it wouldnt matter too much if it didnt come out perfect, but when i do the ti, it has to be perfect. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

This is the first car I've ever attempted to paint. Me and my buddy invested half and half the cost of the equipment like a big enough air compressor and a nice hvlp gun. Just read a whole bunch of painting forums and you'll learn a lot. | | | | | 08-09-2007, 10:03 PM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 |
