Hey Man! U doing it very nice! Could u help me please? We had a Similiar path... I scrap the more than 1 year doing repetitions only Taps and i basiclly IDK how doing Glides always fall to the front... 1. Whats the differences about your training and Science Learn Program? 2.Which part is the crucial to did 1-3 rounds without hands (from SLP)? HTF I balance?:D Which party of body what to do to keep balance) 3. What iam doing - And what u change on it? I did slow rounds half taps push myself off the ground with hands and push butt back and if it is too much i lifted my legs up. Thank you so much - I really want it. :D
@MichaelFlare4 ай бұрын
1. There is no difference. I did EXACTLY what the program shows to do. I'm not exactly sure I'm understanding your second and third questions. How come you're skipping some steps in the program? Why not do the whole thing. I spent 5+ years practicing headspins every single day on my own and was never able to do it properly and let go of my hands. This program took me almost a year but it work for sure.

@@BigDreamsGarage - I'm actually confused. Are you talking about the fabric on the door card or the structure of the door card? Because in this video, I painted it red so what you see is fresh paint on the fabric. For the structure, I don't understand how you're supposed to clean it up when it's underneath the fabric where nobody will ever see. It's like removing carpet in your house and cleaning the wood floors and putting the carpet back on. Nobody will ever do that.

Trust me, I thought very hard for that 2000 conversion. I could have EASILY did it during the RHD conversion because I removed everything, even REPLACED the radiator support! You can see it in my “Operation RHD” video. At the end, I ultimately decided on the 96-98 version because it was the WORLD’s very first Civic Type R version, and I wanted to keep it that way. Even modern video games are switching back to this version because I guess for the same reason.

How does the plastic look after getting some sun on it?
@MichaelFlare8 ай бұрын
I only did this because it was a temporarily interior look until my real black interior panels came in a few months after. I no longer have any of these pieces inside my are because it has all been swapped with the real items. During those few months of having these inside, I can tell you that it didn't chip nor flake off. However, the panels scuff very easily. It's exactly like taking your fingernail and scratching it across your arm. It turns white but when you rub it away, it will come off just like your scraped skin. The painted panels have the exact same effect.

That is still a lot better than nothing. However, it's not fully preloaded if the car isn't off the jackstands because the spring isn't fully compressed.
