lol!
no A/C is for more HP is actually true to some extent because thats 1 less belt and force that is free'd up and not constraining to the power system... even in some modern hondas or other cars raced the power steering and a/c belts or systems are removed for weight and to free up power because of the accessories running in the same system...

also that primer zx is about 10 minutes away from my friends house... its an old dude in his 50s who relgiously works on the car on the weekends...

I think those last 2 tcs look nice. The dub and white one with blacked out tails.

Cant say I did the rock finish, then again, there are a few guys here who have a rust color and finish for their xbs.

Now that I own a honda I can rice it out .

Its a hybrid, so aero mods will just screw up my +50mpg. I just want to drop it, replace all the lamps with leds, heads with hids, maybe some solar panels at the bottom of the windshield or roof top.

No, not duct tape and a solar panel from a highway sign. I want to coat the top with a sheet of vinyl, lay down some solar cell film, then laminate it to protect from the weather.

Keep in mind I have no alternator, the 12 volts is from a small lawn mower sized battery thats charged from the hybrid pack battery. The hybrid pack battery is charged from the electric motor on the gas motor.

Since those aren't Asian cars, are they the "potatoes" we've been hearing about?
