As Ami always says...

'the OG's always come back' :evillol:

What's up everyone? Been a while... but you know me... I'm always coming & going. Honestly, I've been hanging out at d-series, but mostly because I can't get to AF from work :crying:

Anyway, for those of you that remember me, and don't already know... I finally got the hell out of North Dakota & am stationed in Oklahoma now. So I can work on the car year round :grinyes:

Speaking of the car; it's changed a bit. Right now, it sits on jackstands in the garage. Minus the motor, everything else under the hood, the suspension, steering rack, body kit, half of the interior, and the front fenders...

The WW kit, rims (both sets), headlights, and cf hood have all been sold.

I finally get to do all the things I wasn't able to do when the car was a daily driver. So she's pretty much torn apart. I'll fill you all in about my plans/projects as time goes on (but I finally got my Z6 & CRX dash out of storage in TX, w00t!!).

This is how she looked before getting torn apart....

I've got nothing but time these days, so when I'm not working on the car, I'll try to hang out here a bit more!

Damn long time no see dude.

Car looked damn nice back then.

Glad to see you back.

Thanks! Kinda quiet in here... Did I not miss much? Or does everyone have more of a life than me :lol:

I wouldnt bother coming back. Where in OK are you at?

you're hatch is cleeeeeaan ;;drools;;

I wouldnt bother coming back. Where in OK are you at?

:lol: I'm stationed at Altus now... In the middle of nowhere - just like ND was, but I'm likin' it, if only for the weather! I no longer have do deal with 6 months of this:

:wave:

im intrigued on what you are doing with the ride :D

Dude..that truck really is a taco now..

Dude..that truck really is a taco now..

not funny :disappoin :disappoin :nono:

Yeah im sorry..I know it must have really sucked ass.

and he left again... :lol:

Dude..that truck really is a taco now..
not funny :disappoin :disappoin :nono:


hahahaha:lol:

im sorry about your truck, i just find that statement funny.

:lol: Nah...I just suck at keeping up!

Damn Bret, I'm sorry about the Taco. Hopefully you didn't get hurt (too bad?) in the accident. Looks like that thing was smashed up pretty bad... The Acura looks nice though! I don't know how you get rides, hook them up & then sell them. I hated selling my 'Zu...but it was for the greater good of the Civic :D

And Greg, you know I'm always changing things up! Ok... Six + years with the WW kit & 17's... It was time for a change.

I'll be going down to 16's, but I'm undecided (like usual) right now about either the Spun mesh's (color matched w/ polished lip), or the Rota J-Mag's. If I'm not mistaken, the J-Mag's only come in 15's...so I'm sure I'll change my mind another 25 times before I actually get around to buying rims...

The color will remain Laguna gold, and I'm in the process of piecing together the JDM front end conversion (as well as rear bumper, side moldings, etc...).

I'll be keeping/building the Z6 & eventually adding a JRSC.

Right now I'm more focused on finishing the suspension & brakes (Skunk2 full coilovers on each corner, FastBrakes 11" front brake upgrade & refurbishing the '93 'teg rear disc's).

It's a little time consuming because I'm stripping the trailing arms down to bare metal, recoating them, replacing the wheel bearings, rotors, calipers, brake lines & bushings...

In the midst of all that (ie. something to do while waiting for parts to arrive) I've been shaving/tucking the engine bay. That's kept me busier than anything these days!

lol i get bored easy
just wait for my next truck, im actually going to finish it and its going to be dope!

Better be :lol:

And, yeah right, no mini is every truely finished! You goin' to Heat Wave this year? I'm sure it's a hell of a drive for you, but I thought I'd ask...

nah probally not
im going to indy truck bash tho

Better be :lol:

And, yeah right, no mini is every truely finished! You goin' to Heat Wave this year? I'm sure it's a hell of a drive for you, but I thought I'd ask...

I'll be there if I find another job in in like a week or so and I'm off. Stupid ass jobs where you work every day without a day off /me continues mumbling

TSC, hit me up with a PM if you're going! I'll be there!

Oh, and for the record, I was wrong... The J-Mag's come in 16" :D.... And they come in gold :eek:

hi CZR long time no see (if you remember me) i think i sold you some tails back a while

well a lot has changed for me, at the mo i am driving a rover 420Turbo (google it guys its a honda underneath lol)

its a 200 BHP 2.0 Turbo stock......

However, i will be converting back to hondas asap, im thinking a D14A1 GL 4G4D or a 3rd gen lude... what do you guys think?

if i get the 4 door i will be fitting GSXR carbs and gas, have a list of plans for it , matt black with white wheels, stripped etc....

good to see you guys again, hope everyone is ok,

Derek, sorry to hear about your truck, hope your OK mate!

and Ami, it was only a matter of time lol, but now im going from B to D more than likely lol

JIM!! What's up buddy? Of course I remember you! It's been a while, but all is well over here. Oh, and the 4G4D get's my vote!

Hey Jim... what's up? Are you still keeping the Rover? BTW, that was Brett's truck in AZ. Derek was the 1phatcx Canadian... LOL

oh yeah oops, my bad

no, the rover will be going, i am fed up with it alread, (rovers are crap)

I remember Derek now lol, had the electric blue hatch last time i remember

and brett used to have another 4x4, harsh crash though :O

just missed out on a SiR EF9 last week the guy sold it for £600 ($1000 USD)

i could have made that into about £2000!!!

jimbo your bitch what up?
4x4? ive never owned a 4x4 in my life!

hey czr check my new ride
http://www.automotivesin.com/images/Events/2006%20Shows/Kastawayz-2006/Kastawayz-2006-Images/130.jpg

DAMN! That's nice!! If gas prices weren't so high... I've toyed with the idea of an extended cab f/s... That looks real good man. Got any plans for it?

22's full one off powdercoated frame to get the rockers nicely on the ground, shave the handles and taillights, same color, but going to do some like charcoal and black flames below the lower bodyline with airbrushed skulls and shit

If you keep it long enough :lol: Just playin' man! Sounds like a good plan. I'm anxious to see the end result!

Whats going on CZ-R? I'm glad you like the weather around here, I can't stand it. This heat is a killer. I'm still stuck out in Ft. Smith, AR. Got into dirt track racing. Still have the 91 Hatch which is about to go up on stands and get stripped and ready for a B18A1 out of a 90 Integra I bought last week. Also have a 93 Civic Si that I'm racing, and got a 86 CRX that I'm planning on doing a motor swap on.....I'm getting too many damn cars, but all cheap :D.

Damn, all the OG's come outta the woodwork when one shows up :D

some kinda og here, sup ami.

my hatch = dead. giving it away to charity.

sup folks.

WOW, Tony & Nemo joined the party :D

Tony: you know, any weather that isn't North Dakota weather is cool with me (especially between October & June :lol: )! Then again, it has been really HOT around here, so I've slacked on the car a bit. Where in AR are you? I'm not sure where Ft. Smith is...

Nemo: long time man! Glad to see you're still around! Sucks about the hatch...

the hatch died nemo, im not supprised

Its in the western part of Arkansas, right along the Oklahoma border. I plan on moving back out to Tulsa at the end of the year, and sometime I still plan on moving out to Oregon to get away from this weather. I was gonna work on my hatch all day yesterday, but went outside and it was way too damn hot and humid, i went out around 7pm and it was still too damn hot.

I hear ya man... I was planning on working on the car today too, until I realized it was 110 outside (after work!!!). So, nah...

Tulsa is only about 4-5 hours from here! I went up there a while back to pick up some parts for the hatch...

Yea, I was up there for a couple years, then came back down here to try and get some more money saved up.

I'm stuck in a shop all day for 9 hrs, which feels better than outside, but still hot. I came home yesterday and pulled the motor out of the hatch. Not even 5 minutes into it and I was already dripping with sweat and I wasn't working that hard.

sup guys. Since the civic i had a 94 accord that the auto tranny started going out on and now im rockin a 96 integra ls coupe which i got in june 05.

I actually lowered these too .... i dunno why i never lowered the civic, dirt roads and mountains isnt a good excuse lol. Still livin in the bay area, probably moving to chico, ca next year.

the hatch died nemo, im not supprised

yea neither was i ... just glad it lasted as long as it did. The new coupe is NICE!

^^^ i bet its an upgrade from the civic...

I can't wait for you guys to see our shop's current project. hopefully it will be done within 14 days :naughty:
