8thcivic DIY faceoff...

[portabuddy]

So alot of ppl here see themselves as some pretty good DIY guys, now my question is this?

Do you want to put your money where your mouth is? face off in chalanges like guys do in the photography thread?

Put your wits reserch and building abillities to the test?



I think that something like this hasnt been tries befor and i wouldnt mind giving it a shot. what im thinking is a serires of challanges each stretching about a month to compleat a DIY challange, something that isnt easy, something that not everyone can do and abviously something that is car related.

You would need to take progress shots of whatever the challange is and post up the final result to get voted on.



what do you guys think? anyone else in????

Bataling myself wouldnt be fun. and yes you can get anyone you want to help and use whatever resorses you have.

[BlueSi4]

I think this is a good idea...

[portabuddy]

are you in?

[07mugencivic]

i dont have my FA5 anymore if not i would

[KMM]

I recommend a LED dash retro hahahaha

[portabuddy]

lol maybe not... im guaging responce.

[KMM]

I do like the idea and it will/could get people to work on there cars rather then putting it off right...


even say a headlight or foglight retro or something like that

[0720Steve]

brilliant.

[BlueSi4]

I'm in I guess, not sure when I can start though. I have to first find out what I'm gonna need and where to find the parts lol

[curtis265]

great idea, i'd love to see some creativity going on.

VTXFrank's headlight LED strip's lookin good rite now..

What would be the criteria?
- Difficulty
- Originialty/Creativity

[portabuddy]

Difficulty, Originialty are more up to me and whatever we decide to do where as Creativity, execution of the task and final product would be something that we could vote on.


like a fog retro, creative lighting IE turnsignals? a light retro of some kind. maybe a intergration of something, or a clever use of fablic.. i dont know. something DIY

[curtis265]

Maybe it should be something that's obvious to a person who doesn't know too much about cars?

- Obviousness of DIY effort
or
- Complaince with OEM styling

[bengteck]

I modify my ride to suit (btw it change often) rather than follow the trends. For starter one month I think too distance as it will put off most beginners. Let do something close to our heart, simple and fast to accomplish and progress as we go along.

Starter suggestions:-
- Auto headlamp or fog lamp when dark
- Anti reflective speed meter panel

Intermediate suggestions:-
- Heat reduction bonnet
- Aero dynamic fiber body parts

btw i've done most of the above suggsted, so i'm not eligible to your endeavors

[rockmanx]

Can my intake gasket thread count as one since i removed the least parts!?! Lol

[Cr8tive_leo]

Oh boi!

A challenge... I may be up for this...
