8th Gen Civic "Viper"

[fouadbakht]

Fouad bhai, i think you should get the front fog lights tinted 25%, they would look good with the smoked headlamps...

This is a great idea. Didn't strike my mind before though. But I wonder would there be a loss in light output?

[fouadbakht]

Guys, now where has the magician disappeared? Aqib bhai? Yar again out of the scene with your disappearing act?

[istafa111]

Yaaaaayyyyy, istafa bhai, aap hi ka intezar tha

Bas Fouad Bhai, mera dil aa gaya hai Viper pe.
I can't wait to put my hands on my car keeping Viper as an inspiration.
I can not go to that extent, but I'll surely adopt some bits and pieces.

Istafa bhai, yehi kaam aap bhi karsakte ho is se barh kar. Sirf irada karo Allah se dua mang kar. Sab kuch khud ba khud ho jata hai pata bhi nahin chalta. Hah, yeh zaroor kahunga, k ahista ahista kar k sabr kesath aik aik mod karein tu theek rehta hai. Yeh tu ap logon ki mohabbat hai nahin tu meiney 2 pages se agey nahin jana tha.
My idea is that a car should first be aesthetically appealing to you with simplicity and decency. Riced up cars with hawai jahaz injenz driving on speed breakers and through police nakahs ...... lolz.

I agree with you Bhai. Car should not lose its decency. Gaari apni lagni chahiye. Jo chichora hoga usko waise hi gaari suit karay gi. Woh kehtay hain na, Biwi aur gaari aisi honi chahiye jo saath khari ho to apni lagay.

Baqi jahan tak taaluq hai mera apni gari ko modify karnay ka, to honestly, I don't have any car which I should call my own. I am thankful to Allah that He have given me such parents who care for my happiness. Otherwise, I am not worth it. I'll inshAllah do "dil khol k kharcha" on my car when I'd be able to do it with my pocket.

Fouad bhai, original Viper ne koe kasar chor di thi mahol garam karnay mai to inki zaroorat hai...

[fouadbakht]

Istafa bhai, qasr tu reh gai thi na. Viper is VTi. No airbags, no leather interior

Fouad bhai, Airbags aur Leather Interior pe extra cost aati hai. Aur uski maintenance bhi mehangi hai. Theek hai leather interior mai maza aata hai, par itni long drive ki humain aadat kahan...

[fouadbakht]

Bhai ... I like your thread and I think this is once more a story of passion seeping into the core of a car's heart.

Buying a car off-the-shelf is like getting hold of a baby out of the labour room for the first time .. frankly, you don't feel much ... but as the baby grows, you enjoy the first smile, baby opening eyes for the first time, starts crawling, takes the first step ... and the story goes on ... sometimes the child gets sick and you have to stay up all night to take care ... you take the child for the immunization ... your love grows with the passage of time.

Buying "band baaja" off-the-shelf is again the same story. I have acquired some stuff and waiting for brother 2C to send the rest. We spent the afternoon yesterday looking for batteries to power up the system.

This time Madhouse and I are going to do everything ourselves. As you must have seen the complexity of the trunk design, we don't trust any mechanics to handle it. We are going to do it ourselves. It is the first time for both of us to handle this kind of assignment, but we are keeping our fingers crossed for great results.

I really look forward to seeing such a system going into Viper as well.

I think we can start planning for your car right now ... but it would be better if we meet up and discuss the details. To start with, I suggest you take a look at Nauman Bhai's Civic in Lahore ... that car is really high-end and a real story of passion ... do let me know what you think of that system

Khokhar bhai, frankly, I'm happy to have purchased the Nav unit and the cedit goes to you primarily. A good advice from a good friend at the right time is a blessing now a days. Sir, btw, I must appreciate the effort you and bro Madhouse are putting in. Seriously, it needs more than just craze to conceive such a setup and then transform it into reality. Let your project be over then I'll ask Arsalan bhai to help me with the "band baja". Thanks once again.

[askhokhar]

Nauman Bhai has done wonders with this install .... and it must have cost him an arm and a leg (he is a rich guy) ...

If I had done this, I would have made it more aesthetically appealing ... so if you like that system, Madhouse and I are there to bombard you with ideas ...

[askhokhar]

Probably we discussed Focal Beryllium BMW when we met. Here is the link

http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~110922~PN~1

This guy spent 2.5 years in audio system installation and achieved well deserved awards. Look at the attention to detail he had on each and every component of the system. Probably, he does not know much english, but the images can tell you the details ...

Madhouse and I are both inspired by this install. We are planning to buy an expensive multi purpose machine which can take care lathework, milling, routing, etc. so we don't have to run here and there to get something done by mechanics who decide to differ with the ideas of customers.

We have located the source for fiberglass fabrication and we are trying to identify source for carbon fiber raw materials ...

Fouad Bhai .... congrats on adding the HIDs ...

I hope this article by Momin Haq might be helpful about understanding the pros and cons of HID and projector lights installation

[fouadbakht]

Khokhar bhai, we can't thank you enough. I used the word "we" because I actually see Laadli and Viper threads as very informative, inspirational, full of passion, DIY and above all a source from which other members can share their ideas, give suggestions and borrow the ideas they like commensurate with the budget and restrictions (For married ones the restriction is a wife and those who aren't married yet the restrictions mean parents most of the time). However, I think money spent in such passion is worth it rather than flushing the greens down the drain on drugs and similar stuff.
To be able to conceive, design and create something requires like I already said "Passion and sustainability". Money doesn't mean anything if you got no ideas or vision. Right now, the mods I've done have already cost me an arm and a leg. SInce I drive manual, therefore I need the other arm and leg at the moment till the previous ones grow back again, hopefully.
Above all, I'm really happy to see no fighting in both threads. They are going parallel. Every member has been mature and supportive. Thanks to all once again to making Laadli and Viper a success.

[fouadbakht]

There are many other senior and expert members on Pakwheels but they haven't participated in our threads so far. DOn't really know why. Maybe lack of time or interest. Anyways, anybody with even a single post has my gratitude and prayers.

I am unclear about HIDs; I hate when someone start driving on your back on the highway with full beam of HIDs; this indirectly has developed a hatred about HIDs. What I understand is if someone wants to replace his head lamps with HID he should also replace the "projectors" as well? Doing these both will have less harm for other drivers?

I never felt need of "increasing" the quantity / brightness of OEM head lights they work fine out of box; dont they?
