Ok, I've thought long and hard about this, and searched all kinds of websites, and found the kit I want for my 92 Si. Check this out and tell me what you think.
Xtreme front bumper
Kombat VS sideskirts
Z3 fenders
Neo Combat rear bumper
Combat VR wing
Schumacher EVO 17 inch wheels
I found all of it at asylum motorsports. I know the kit will be a mix'n'match, but I'm pretty picky about what I like as far as my car is concerned. Gotta wait till tax time to do all of this though. The price tag for all of it is over 2g. That's not including shipping and having it all painted. Damn, I wish I was rich...lol. Tell me what you guys think.
My b/f just told me the same thing about asylum...don't order from them. So I guess I'll have to look some more and find the parts at another place. But that's the setup that I want.
I like the aggressive look on the ludes, especially since I'm a chick. I wanted to make it super fast and take it to the track, but the more I think about it, the more I'm leaning toward a Del Sol for the track and my lude for shows. But I do plan on doing a swap to an H22, and an I/H/E. That's probably all I'll do to it as far as speed goes. Maybe some cams, I haven't quite decided on those yet. I can't wait to get it all done and see all these redecks around here really want to race me cuz they won't think I have anything under the hood. I refuse to put parts stickers on the car....let people guess what I'm running. I already beat the rednecks around here, when the car is done, they'll think they're sitting still.

Del sol's are worse than civic for the track. Weak chassis. With all the agressive stuff you are putting on you car I would say you have to go with 18's.
Thanks for the input, guys. I've looked a long time for a front bumper that I like. I don't like the big mouth kits, and the others that I see don't even look like after-market bumpers at all. So I've settled on the extreme. If the Del Sol is lousy at the track, what do you suggest? My b/f has a hatch that he's going to out on the track, and he wants me to get one too. But I just don't like the hatch. Honda or not, it just doesn't impress me much. My drag car was a toss-up between the Del Sol and CRX. I like the look of the Del Sol better, but would the CRX be better to build up? As for the wheels, why would 18's be better? I'm fairly new to all this, and I thought that 17's were the best performing overall. The lude will probably be close to 220 hp when it's through, maybe more. Just wondering why 18's. Not trying to be a smartass.
Depends on what kind of kit you want, there are more less aggressive kits out there for the lude than there is aggressive. I think the lude looks good with an aggressive kit.

the guy suggested 18' cause he thought u were goin to be all show with the lude, so if ur car is all show and no go, get 18', but that doesn't look like it. 17' for sure

I suggested 18's because the 17's your getting are not that light anyway and it does seem to me that your are going mostly show. The kit I am sure will slow you down more than 18's. A CRX would probably be the best for a drag car but if you ever really want an actually fast drag car don't get an import.
Ok, the lude will be for shows, not the strip. The only reason I'm doing a swap is because 1) my car has over 200k, and 2) the engine looks like **** because it came from NH, close to the ocean, and has a lot of salt corrosion. Plus, I want it to be faster than it is. The car won't be done overnight, it's a work in progress. I do want an import for the track, whether it be a Del Sol or a CRX. Those 2 cars built up are just plain out nasty. The lude will be show, but it will also have go when the need arises.

sounds like a rad plan! i would definitly prefer the crx for the track out of the two. lighter and better. about the wheels, most people that show agree that 18s are a must, so keep that in mind. good luck!

Whats wrong with asylum? When I get my kit I was going to drive down there since it's only 2 hours away and save on shipping. But if there's a problem with them maybe not.

all kits = taste of the driver......if you like it, sport it........there will always be someone somewhere that thinks it looks like $h!7 so who cares!! there will also always be someone who likes it
ps my car is in the shop getting a blitz front z3 roadster fenders and extreme rear and a versus cf hood and 17" Konig Toxin wheels!!!!!
and guess what.........i know some peeps will hate on it....but who cares!!!!!!!
i used to like the Z3 fenders until i see them EVERYWHERE on EVERY kind of car possible to stick them to.
I'm going widebody on my lude...i know its around alot but not a bunch of people have it since its a custom thing not something you can buy and just stick to your car.
ive been looking at so many different kits and i narrowed it to those two just because it has that almost stock but a hint of agressive in it.....
