Seriously OT: The Real 3rd Thready...

been seeing the Forester port around lately...would seriously consider getting one

Was it an Sti? or just a Forrester S? I like the one in the pic (Sti)

I'd go with the wagon b4 the tuck

absolutely

The forester isn't really much bigger than the wagon. I like the wagon but prefer an STi sans the Star Wars wing. My wife loves scoobies probably because the turbo and awd and the fact they're based on Rally car platforms. But being that we know a great VW mechanic I think I'd rather keep the 1.8t approaching 200k...

as much as i want a new car...can't afford it right now...new house that needs more furniture and a lawn that needs cutting...and i need to go buy one...i i get a new car it'll be in the Fit/ Scion range

I'll cut your grass for $10 a week... plus gas money

do a good job and i'll give you $12

hey cut my lawn too.

we'll i really need my car gone so it's going on ebay tonight or in the morning.

how much...

the first $2800 takes it. i put $5K into it and bought it for $3K so i figure $2.8K is fine. i need it gone bad. i move in a week and can't take it with. but on the upside i will be buying a 93 si hatch so just waiting for the crx to sell.

so i will be looking for a good shop(hint hint DOWN TO GROUND) to swap in an engine and if they are interested build it. i'll be going on cruise soon so i will be coming back with bookoo(sp) money.

Hit a high of 71 today (currently 68), freaking crazy. Just last week it snowed like crazy for 2 days, and had a high of 45 for the entire week.

Today I had a high of...








what were we talking about again???



I want some doritos

Just picked up some food the car said it was 80 out. I didn't get a chance to enjoy today, it's finals time.

the ufc is on t.v. man those guys take a beating.

^ Yeah I only caught the first round of the Michael Bisping vs. Elvis Sinosic fight, and that was brutal. I'll watch the whole thing when it replays on Monday night. And I heard UFC 72 will be on SpikeTV in june.

there were some good fights tonight. good thing spike plays them for free.

eh...that seems to be the new thing now...there's a lot of different UFC style show on

true have seen a lot of new stuff on. i still think they need more car shows.

There definently needs to be more car shows. The only decent ones are for domestic cars or trucks, the rest are lame.

i know nopi had a show for a minute, but it was ridiculous.

I've grown to hate most of the car shows on now because they're all about doing ridiculous stuff to your car rather than anything useful.

Then the truck show is the same every frickin week "We're gonna raise the ride height about 4 inches to give it a meaner stance then we'll install a new exhaust and tune the ECU to get max performance..." :shakehead

I never understood why everyone needs a fishtank and a chandalier in their car... oh thats right, its to break from the vibrations of the 100,000 watt subwoofer they took out the rear seat to install

pimp my ride.....i love how they pull a 130 db the first time they put in the jack hammer sub into a car and only pull a 136 when they install 2 into the next vehicle......oh yea did i forget to mention i have a trophy with 138.7 from 1 mtx thunder 12" sub :spit:

the andre arlovski fight was disappointing. i have never heard a ref start a round with the threat: the first guy to retreat, deducts a point. :shakehead bisping is rad.

got pulled over this weekend for "taillights not being bright enough"....w00t for quotas

got pulled over this weekend for "taillights not being bright enough"....w00t for quotas

that's a new one to me

i file it in between "accelerating up a hill" & "car impounded for HAVING ins" pile of creative harrassment.

getting pulled over for speeding...pffft, anybody can do that. it takes talent making the cops work for those flashing lights :naughty:

Stock tail lights?

i need $600 to buy this H22...donations anyone?

i need $600 to buy this H22...donations anyone?

whore yourself out to 10 fat chicks for $60 a piece.... or 6 really fat chicks for $100 a piece....?:naughty:

You can go ahead and tell me where you're gettin h22s for $600

You can go ahead and tell me where you're gettin h22s for $600

no thank you ;)

need someone to start me a website asking for just $1 donations the help with the expensive surgery for my dog b/c i don't want to put her to sleep...then use the money to buy the engine...wouldn't't be a lie b/c her surgery is about or more than $1k

Banlandian Children's Fund------> $600 H22

the ball's in your court

h22's for $600 is easy....engine only. the magic trick is to get a tranny too

i don't want the tranny...want to learn how to build the engine

Are you going with an OEM rebuild or an aftermarket build? If you're going aftermarket and don't plan to replace the sleeves, make sure you get pistons that are compatible with the stock sleeves (since they are made of different material than regular sleeves).

i'm not sure what i want to do ...but at the moment i need to find a cheap one

Got some new goodies in the mail today for my CRX... lower dash panel (fuse panel cover), completely new windshield wiper linkage assembly and dust/water seals for the wiper motor linkage, new front bumper slide mounts and bumper mounting screws. Small stuff... but I'm trying not to spend too much all at once.

just buy mine.

buy your CRX?... I've already got one.... can't drive more than one at a time... so no point in having a second :P

I had almost talked myself into buying a new seat cover to fix mine.... but I've decided I'm going to need a racing seat... the rest of the seat padding just doesn't provide enough support for high speed cornering that I do on my way to work each morning.... I slide all around.

so it got slow at work today, and since i had read all the tuner mags already, i was flipping through the muscle car mags. and on the cover of one was a heading "7 Reader rides for under $25k". the $25k included everything, car, engine, exterior, etc

and most of them where just under $25k, so it got me started thinking, what could i do to a crx/hatch for that much cash.

i mean...that enough for a built K swap, boost, full suspension, couple CF panels for even less weight, plenty of JDM goodness, some decent rims....maybe a few bucks left over.

how do muscle cars cost so much? just casue they're older? supply and demand? muscle fans have money coming out the wazoo?

seriously..when i was 16 the first car i owned was a 93 cobra..which in itself was a rare car too..i still own a muscle car..even tho its German/British made..the reasonings for owner either or is very vast if u ask me.. im sick of import owners trying to compete with domestic muscle and import trying to compete with vise versa w.e....trust me..i could easily go find myself a 88 Fox notchback mustang 4 cyl for $800 just like any1 of u finding a 4th gen and make it just as fast if not faster with a swap and a few mods..

nothing good can come from this

in the red civic today sitting at a 2 way stop sign to make a right. cop passes, we make the right onto the street behind the cop. he immediately pulls over as soon as we pass he hops behind us with the lights. we pull over. he walks up says "oh you have harnesses" turns around, walks away, gets in his car and leaves

he was at the car less than 5 seconds and we didn't say 1 word. we were left looking at eachother retarded :wtf: :screwy:

did you forget to remove the "Hey Pull Me Over" bumper sticker from your car?

Drove a CRX with a B18B swap today... not impressed in the least... it may have been quicker off the line, but I swear in the long run my car would overtake it as it sits right now... So that swap option has gone out the window.

Seriously considering sticking with a Dseries engine and building a D16Y8 and holding out with that until such time that I have an extra form of transportation and can make an attempt at a Kseries swap into my CRX (may be a few years).

D series doesnt get the respect it deserves. Got one I'm building (well.. still collecting parts for) that should be nice.

Got a new car .. not a honda though. Accually, traided one of my civics for it.

did you forget to remove the "Hey Pull Me Over" bumper sticker from your car?

damnit...would you quit putting those on my car :icon16:

the funny part is i traded off the daily driver for a civic with no back seat and the other daily driver is a sol...the only reason we've been geeting out the red civic is when the 3 of us need to go somewhere. the other day when we got pulled over we were taking the daughter & her friend to a childrens learning fair. today it was on our way home from helping on her school field trip from 8:45am-1:45pm at the safety fair with the local fire, police, & forrestry services.

D series doesnt get the respect it deserves.

you know me, i'm all about the d. y8 vs b18b will come down to mods & drivers. i have to argue...it won't be so close a6 vs b18b.

the pro of the d is it's cheaper to build, the pro of the b is full potential hp. which is better? it comes down to driver preference.

After Taking my car to the track again and having it be miserably slow and just plain pissing me off. I think im done with the b16. I found a hatch I may pick up for 500, and I could swap all my parts. But im seriously worried about putting my b16 into another car and having it be a crapbag just like it is now. It may be burning oil now, and i have yet to check the compression but I have a feeling it is lacking. So if I rebuild it then I would want to use better parts, and if I rebuild it then I might as well just build a damn LSVtec, or even a B20/vtec.

i have to argue...it won't be so close a6 vs b18b.


Maybe there was something wrong with this guys motor or something, but I seriously expected it to be significantly faster than my car, and it just wasn't.

And I know there's a big difference between B18B and B18C5, but I'm starting to feel like if I'm going to drop that much money on a swap, I may as well go a little bit further and try the K20 thing....

But in the mean time, I can pick up a D16Y8 for a couple hundred $$$, replace the bearings in my Si tranny, maybe add LSD to it, and be satisfied for a good long while, and still be pretty quick for a fraction of the price.

how did you suddenly jump from talking about b18b & y8 to c5? LoL! :wink:

here's my thing if you want it for now and plan to go k in the future, that is a perfect plan. if you think you want an ls/vtec or c5 in the future than i would start out with the b18b. the beauty of the b series is once you get the mounts & linkage you can play mix & match the b series.

how did you suddenly jump from talking about b18b & y8 to c5? LoL! :wink:


Some questions are better left unanswered :licka:

No clue... I change my mind several times a day about what I want to do... I hate it...

finally got vtech today :thumbsup:

wheres your wing? :disappoin

Those white ones get dirty easy.

Speaking of dirty, tried out the new ArmorAll Gel ... good stuff, doesnt have the smell of the classic armorall.. which is good because I didnt like it. Also doesnt make stuff as "oily" as the regular.

Oh yeah, does anyone know what kind of grease your suposed to use on the tracks of a moonroof? Figured out why mine wasnt working... just junked up, pushed on it a little and it opens and closed now under its own power... yay! now I can get a tan while driving.

I use Lithium white grease on most of the parts... it doesn't dry up and is water resistant.... you could also use a silicone based lube, and that should do you good.... only problem is silicone lubes have a tendency to melt away in the summer heat...... make sure you clean out the tracks as good as you can before you lube anything up.
