[CivicBeater]

Those of you that need stuff from OG, lemme know. Brian Hair is my cousin's husband ;P

Nice. Just ordered a can of Superblue from him as well.

Find out what kind of deal he would do on a case.

Craig - Who really just sat in the pool all weekend but was too lazy to take a picture.

[elambz]

I will gladly take it off your hands.. Will you accept Ramon or Fabreze spray in trade?

Those offers seem really tempting. I'll have to hit you up and talk trade.

Read to rock!

[CivicBeater]

Ohhhhhh hail!

[Dave-ROR]

Hmm I might actually work on my car this weekend. Hmm maybe it will be at expo after all

[Doespike]

[coolhandluke]

Yeah...I could be doing that.

[CONEV8R]

WOOT! Insurance check is in the mail, tires are ordered, fluids and filters are ordered. Now alls I gotta do is find a red 98+ rear bumper...it would be so much easier to not have to paint it...haha.

I also picked up an inexpensive oil temperature gauge, but need to figure out how I want to mount it inconspicuously. Maybe down in place of the cruise button. I'll see.

Just ignore the transmission whine... The diff has about 1/16" of play in it... Spare trans going on tomorrow and then it's the cat vs. test pipe comparison, alignment, pack car, and out to Hyperfest! (followed by Expo later on, heh)

Great news!

Trans swap completed
dialed in @ 254 WHP / 210 TQ !!!

Just need to bleed brakes and tidy up the interior before Hyperfest, and thus Expo!

[R-box]

Ew... there's alot to LOL at with this photo... WTF is that substance by the "correction factor" box?! And a lil more LULZ for it saying "STD". Wow, I'm in my own little joke world right now... GARY MOMENT, SORRY! hahahaahaha (yeah, I said it.)

[R-box]

[Erik], you're my hero...

[Dave_B]

In that pic... his car looks angry!

[R-box]

It fits my golf clubs, it fits my bowling bag, so it fits my needs.

Do you have skinny golf pants too?!?!?!

[R-box]

Prepz:
-buy new tires ()
-change oil
-check coolant
-brake fluid
-swap brake pads from inside-to-out
-new rear rotors?
-buy extra belts
-wash car (hahaha, yes, it's actually going to happen)

[CONEV8R]

Hmm....

Aside from the body work...(hopefully I get it back in time!)
Alignment - Scheduled for Monday at PTuning, provided my new tires arrive as scheduled tomorrow
New pads/rotors and bleed with Motul 600 - Have these here, been sitting around for a couple months now just waiting for me to get off my ass and do them.....
New tires Check - getting them mounted/balanced at the same time as the alignment on Monday provided they arrive as scheduled
Change vital fluids (oil, mtf, coolant, power steering) - - they're all either ordered or in my possession, just need to do them.......*/Lazy
Clean it out
Pack it up

I've found a used bumper on CL and a used taillight through one of those *Other Integra Boards* . I was planning on having the car repainted and dents fixed and stuff come springtime anyways, so there's no point in having the rear half of the car repainted and blended with the current crappy state of the paintjob, just to have it done again in the spring. So I'm going to save as much of the Ins money as I can for when that happens, and just slap a bumper and taillight on there for now.

Just gotta find the time to do all of it is all.....

[get RIGHT]

My prep = DONE

[itr #1334]

^^^nice nice

[96specr]

agreed

[Little_Nolan]

Fast and Furious wing came in!!


All my prep will be done the night before I leave for da expoz.. likely to get no sleep again : /

[TurboLS]

Well, my weekend at Hyperfest pointed out a few things:

1.) Axxis Ultimates just don't cut it with this much power... I even shortened my braking distances as much as possible (never went off track, but came close)
2.) My zip tie method of securing the CV boots fails when exposed to heat from the dumptube
3.) GoPro cameras are $$. I post vids later!

To do on the car:

Body work & Paint
Full Car Vinyl
Driver's side axle rebuild
Exhaust adjustment (v-bands allow for this)
Order & install oil temp gauge
Order & install boost gauge (to replace the DOA one from Autometer )
New autozone blank rotors & stoptech pads
Perhaps a caliper rebuild for each corner of the car.
Maybe more to come depending on what we find in the coming days...

[CONEV8R]

Ramzi, I've heard great things about the Stoptech pads. I've just ordered a set for my car, as well. We'll see who wins the braking game!

Speaking of the GoPro, which one did you get? I've got the old non-HD one, it works great, but my only gripe with it is the sound quality is pretty bad, other than that they're good for the money!

My list is shrinking!!

Alignment - Done - PTuning was great!
New pads/rotors and bleed with Motul 600 - Have the rotors and a set of Hawks, but I just ordered a set of the Stoptechs...
New tires Done
Change vital fluids (oil, mtf, coolant, power steering) - - they're all either ordered or in my possession, just need to do them.......*/Lazy
Roll Fenders
Replace tail light
install bumper
Clean it out
Pack it up

I'm also tempted to swap to my all-seasons for the drive out there, but that depends on how lazy I get (or how easily the centering rings come off).

Wait...crap, that's longer!
