Well Here's my car after it's first "major" cleaning. It still needs interior work, and I couldnt' clean the calipers or wheel wells (no jack low enough to get under car).

Enjoy...



Yeah yeah, I know the pics aren't the best.. I know the car isn't as pristine as it could be.. but I can only work with what I've got.
 
That's a hot ride. Verrrry nice.



May I suggest you move your front plate. The thing I once saw (which I thought was cool) was to put it on the back of your passenger side sunvisor and flip it down. Just a thought...I put my plate behind my grille, but that doesn't look like an option for you.
 
Yeah I thought about that, although my sun visors are very susceptable to creases (i had a garage door remote there and it creased the visor matieral (I steamed it back out though). So, that's my only solution is to have it stuck in the window.

is it the picture or is your driver side lower than the passenger side?

Actually just the opposite. My passenger side is lower than my drivers side (so when I sit in the car it sits even). However, my driveway is one giant slope, I parked near the top of it, but the drivers side is on the lower side of the driveway.

LOL Sorry Scott!



Wash: Pinnacle Bodywash Shampoo

Wheels: P21s Gel (and then Eagle One Wax-As-U-Dry) when I dried them off. Atleast it'll help keep the dust off for a little while... until I can Zaino them or something.



Tires: Eagle One Tire Shine(not sure that's the proper name)

Windows: Stoners Invisible Glass



Lots of MF towels and Waffle weaves, the hood and front fender flares are treated with Tropi-Care, the rest of the car was just QD'd with Z6 the night before.



It really needs a clay, the lower panels have some tar and stuff on them.. but I'm pretty pleased with the results for now. More to come for sure!

Looks great!



How strict are they about having the front plate in NY? In MD they don't really care.

I wouldn't know, that's a Texas plate ;)



They're pretty strict, when I ran plateless I got pulled over within weeks of having the car. I've been pulled over once in Fort Worth (GRRR) for having it in my window, but got off with a warning. None of the Austin police have bothered me yet.

:nixweiss They never bother me and I haven't had a front plate on any of my cars since the late 80's. The only time I got stopped was when another green car (I had a green 1979 Celica back then) was seen leaving a burglary in the area. It was just an excuse to stop me and see if it was my car I guess.



It might depend on the car though and local enforcement policy. Lowered cars = kids up to no good?
 
I had trouble before I even lowered it.



I've also got one speeding ticket since I've had this car, and the cops were all asking me how I kept it so clean while they wrote me up and asked me if it was fast.



:down

The 337 looks good.



To jack the car up, try driving onto a piece of wood and then placing the jack under the car.

Yeah, I realise I can do that.. but my driveway is too much of an incline to do that safely anyway.
 
Not sure if that came with one but I know hondas do...



Maybe hit up a honda site, I recomend www.honda-tech.com and go to the classified section. Post a WTB for a stock scissor jack. My honda is lowered and its a godsend. I just scissor jack it up a bit on one side and then I can get my hydraulic under for the rest of the way.



Back to the topic, nice car, I love the 337. I actually was/am thinking of trading my Si for one. Looking clean :xyxthumbs
 
Wow. Love the car. The wheels look amazing and drop is perfect! :up Oh, and the detail looks great too.



So how do you lift the car now for maintenance??
