Seriously OT: Whoring Galore here in Part 4!

Awia i think

That ITR is too low... pathetically, garage queen low IMO... :shakehead


LoL, not struts. the car is in the process of being torn down. if it can't drive, it might as well sit pretty.

i like the glass top crx too however, i would never say i like it over the ITR.

b18c5 :nutkick: b16

hmmmm...glasstop ITR

better yet....put a c5 in a glass top CRX :naughty:

heh, guy @ Kaotic did that... B18C5 in a CRX.. then he decided it was OK to rev a bone stock B18C5 to 11k +.... yeah.. that didn't last long.

He literally made it just past my house, which (at the time) was about 1.5 miles from his shop... and put a rod through the block, locking the engine, breaking the transmission, locking up the front end, and causing him to slide first, into a tree right in front of my house, the one that sits in the middle of the U shaped driveway we had, then off the bridge immediately after that, and right nose first into the water, about a 6 foot drop... yeah.. he doesn't work on cars all that much anymore.

heh... on the plus side, he had it up to 130ish when he hit the tree... so maybe it wasn't stock... but either way, stock bottom end, or at least stock crank/rods...

(We have alot of idiots back home... they think that Honda's are just built bulletproof, and you'll never actually have to do anything w/ it to keep it running... anyway, that shop isn't getting much business since their latest round of bullshit, they built a Turbo'd DelSol, and the kid paid them over 15k to build the car, and found out that he ended up w/ a G'Reddy Turbo kit, a rebuilt (stock) Z6, stock ECU w/ a socket and "performance chip", and a paint job with overspray all over the car, never wet sanded, body kit wasn't fitted properly, one of the rims was cracked, tires weren't even up to 35 PSI when he came to pick up the car, and now the exhaust welds are cracking all over the place... I think he's taking them to court over it.)

sounds like he had a bad day

is it wrong if when i think about GTA i associate him with the Techno Viking?

If I had a B18C5 crx I'd be happy. It would have to look absolutely stock except for maybe a 1" drop on Tein or some other respectable full coil-overs, a cf hood and front lip. I'd take a B18C5 anything really... haha.

Why is it so difficult to find a nice looking Honda these days? I'm considering either a stock 99-00 si, 96-01 gsr or itr. I've got some time to think on it though because I have to pay the Jeep off first and some other bills. But if I can't find what I'm looking for I may just pick up a wrx.

Techno Viking FTW :lol:

A) it is very wrong that you sit around thinking about GTA during the day to begin with :uhoh:

B) it is very safe to say in all the times I've hung out with GTA over the years, he's never taken off his shirt and busted a move down the street with a crowd following along.

turtle, unless you need the backseat....hands down get a del sol, swap in a c5, and mild lowering will make night & day difference in handling. it is a tad heavy for the "compact" car it's supposed to be however, it is a nimble car when lowered. the b18c5 will bolt right in. call it a day. don't even throw on rims.

if you need the backseat then go with the GSR. the ITR is not as easy to get ins for and more likely to be stolen.

I don’t sit around thinking about the man…I remember a while ago that he posted a picture of himself at a rave or something and when I saw this that was the first thing that came to mind :lol:

I’m going to be on the hunt, again, for another car, again…if I can find NX2000 I’ll get it…guy’s roomate on a forum I frequent brought himself a GTiR for $10k…lucky :(

ahh... cant watch video's at work. and you must be talking about my avatar awhile back...

Blu, there is a sweet white rhd nissan gti-r or whatever those hatches are called listed on ebay right now (go to nissan/other vehicles) located in SC. Unless you want usdm, then never mind.

Lady, I've thought about the Del Sol vtec. I know it's a little heavier because of the targa roof and electronic rear window etc. The wife, however, does not like it. I'd like a 6th gen si as a beater but it seems like so many have already been beat. The GSR is a sweet car. I've had my sights on the one I've really wanted before... white, 4-dr, no wing, completely stock... but that is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I've seen them on autotrader but it just wasn't the right time, right color or whatever...

I wish I could fit comfortably in any of the cars name in the last two pages :(

and that tecno viking reminds me of the Eurotrip RoboMime for some reason... Europeans are just wierd

I'd like to find a bone stock, well taken care of Honda Civic LX sedan... o wait.. I had one, then I sold it.. now I have it back.

I don't want a white car... too much attention... believe it or not, according to Fed Highway dept, BLUE is the least pulled over color:D I'm going blue over black.

After the street racing suspension, and what not, I don't need to be noticed.. hence the reason I'm keeping the car looking stock, nothing too extravagant for a motor, etc.

Hey guys... If I wanna lower my car with the stock springs, how much should I cut to get 1" lower??
1.5"??

I'm asking cause I'm worried if I cut 1" it'll lower it 2" instead.

Just being safe!

Cutting springs isn't really the recommended way to do this.. but basically, you mark them 1" lower while it's got pressure from the car on it, then when you "uncompress" them, cut at your mark, and make sure you grind a nice bevel back into it.

If you would rather not cut the springs, (and personally, not that I know you, but I'D prefer you not cut them, for safety's sake) there is a much better way to do it that reduces the effects on handling.. what you do, get yourself a couple pieces of 1/8" thick steel, cut some 1" by 2" strips.. you'll need AT LEAST 4 per spring, preferably 8.. drill a 1/2" dia. hole in the middle of them, and make tabs on either end, about 1/2" tab @ 90* in the bend.

after you've made those, chain the front end of your car down or compress the coil or have a few friends sit on the hood and/or trunk lid, and apply those to two coils that are close together, all the way around the coil... do that on all four springs, and it's basically a lowered car w/ stock spring rate.

better off getting ebay springs

you can springs on ebay for like $50... youll prolly end up spending more time to cut a spring that wasnt designed to be cut (which will throw the geometry of the suspension WAY off) I would just get cheapo springs and call it a day

better off getting ebay springs

:1:
I agree. It would be much safer. From what I've seen in pics his car's tires look under inflated and there isn't much for safety anyway on those 4g4ds. Lets just be glad he doesn't have a swapped engine running around on cut springs etc... :shakehead

This is exactly what I want...

Of course, it's 3000 miles away from me... :lol:

Edit: I kind of like the front bumper of the older ones. This one is a 96...

There is a subtle difference in the bottom lip.

with that much wheel gap you could go offroading... vry nice car otherwise

I think it looks perfect. There is this thing called suspension travel. Anyway, it's probably a shadow and/or tire wear. If you want to see wheel gap look at my Jeep.... haha.

Having a slammed vehicle would be stupid for the way I would drive it... especially around here.

meh.... thats why they make extended top hats... i believe there should be no wheel gap on a street driven car... but thats just me... and yes, i would hope your jeep has massive amounts of wheel gap...

Actually, the Jeep isn't that bad. But I don't need a jack to change the oil. :grinyes:

I disagree with the statement about no wheel gap for street driven car. Maybe you mean a track driven car. I know it depends on the design, parts and the vehicle as well as other factors. But there is no way in hell you can drive around where I live and expect not to have some travel in your suspension.

A guy I work with here has a last gen Prelude vtec with Tein Full Coil-overs with Volk Racing 17s and he still has a little space showing between the fender and the wheel itself. His car rides extremely stiff. The entrance way to our office is pretty steep and sharp and he glides up it like nothing. But after spending probably at least 2k or more on suspension parts why risk it?

well... i track my street car... so.... and yes, i suppose it does matter where you live... but i tuck all 4 tires and barely rub at all and its not tooooo stiff or bouncy... and i even went from 195's to 205's.. hehe

Cool. I'm still torn on the type of vehicle I want though. I love the idea of getting an Acura/Honda because I want the good gas mileage. I don't commute long distances anymore so all the miles would be city or fun driving. My Jeep thrashes any terrain you put in front of it and I like the torque but at 16.5-17.5 mpg city driving... ugh. The wife's vw gets better mpg but it's got almost 200k miles and things are starting to wear on it. She babied it forever and now she wants to keep it. It's a nice idea being that its paid for and she has known the vw mechanic forever. If I buy a GSR and something fucks up because I don't know how it was treated before I bought it, I'd feel pretty shitty. There is a pretty decent shop that works on Hondas here though. They treated me right when I had my clutch and tranny done... even kept my car locked inside because it had a bunch of mods.

but on the other hand, hondas are easy to work on and you can beat them a bit and as long as you kept up on the maintainence. I know VW's are pretty expensive cars to get parts for... why not give the wifey the Jeep and you take the honda... that way you still have a 4x4 when u need it and you sav on gas? or does she have a long commute?

I was driving in my car listening to some Initial D and that got me thinking…I need someone to make me some stickers

Bunta Blu :lol:

Yeah, she wants the Jeep. She doesn't keep a good eye out for potholes so it's probably a good thing. That's the reason she still sports the stock steelies too... haha Also, IMO, modding a B5 Passat isn't worth the money...

Her commute is on the way to my commute. We work for the same firm but she works downtown and I continue on a bit further.

If I get a Honda/Acura it's going to be the quietest one around... haha. I know they can be heavily modified and still quiet. I used to street race this guy where I used to live. He had an EK hatch with who knows what under the hood. The thing was clean and quiet and would haul ass. And now that I can hear again, I'd like to keep it that way...haha

Yeah, I'm starting to like quiet cars in my *ahem* not-so old age.. I'm only 22... but I've had enough of the popcorn-fart sounding exhausts... gimme something open and quiet, and I'm happy... honestly, I'd rather hear the drivetrain noise now.

Or the rattle in the doors... haha. I don't want a car that old :lol:

I like the sound of the intake suck sound and the vtec whistle. I don't have much experience hearing that though. Most Hondas with dohc vtec engines that I see have exhausts. When they sound like shit I know their cars are running like shit. Some exhausts sound good but it still drowns out everything else.

I vaguely remember my crx when it had the intake and quiet turbo muffler. After the fire and engine swap I had nothing but free flowing exhaust set ups that were always louder than the intake even after adding the resonator. The weird thing is I didn't like the sideways mounted muffler... still don't. That's one of my hang ups on the new wrx hatch... that and the fugly tail lights...

Id rock one if you had them made.... and then there really is no problem there... ditch the VeeDubaEwe... and get a real car...

Oh yeah, I remember what the exhaust shop owner told me. When he welded up the exhaust with no resonator in it and I came back to have one put on. I said that my wife thought it was too loud and he said then she shouldn't ride in the car. :lol:

ROFL!

sounds like something I'd tell ya back in the day... my dad used to complain all the time, which is why I kept the silencer on hand in the back seat... between that and my 3 15's in the trunk... lmao..

I can usually fix the rattles in the car, i love the intake sound, and i prefer turbo whine over a Vtec "hyper-whistle" any day.

gonna get some stickers made...anyone who was part of TLD want one?

i wasnt part of it, but i want one...

i would say yes but i know it will sit on your desk next to my other thing 5 years later waiting to be mailed out :loser:

it's our friend's 21st b-day on Sat. we have no other option than to get dressed up, throw a party, and act stupid for such occasion. what better gift can i give him than a reason to wear a banana suit?

I'm going to a b-day/halloween party Saturday too. The wife and I are going as Mulder and Scully. I got some badges from the Internet that I'm going to print to photo paper and cut out and paper clip to our sport jackets. People tell me, girls usually, that I sorta look like David Duchovny. I don't really see it though...

but i gotta find someone to make them

The wife and I are going as Mulder and Scully.

That is awesome!!

The new movie is in pre-production right now. I hope it goes through.

I need a nice black jacket anyway... can't exactly wear a corduroy jacket or blue suit being a Hoover boy... :lol:

I got rid of the trench coats because they didn't fit and that whole trench coat mafia thing... I believe they were a pre-emo cult. :lol2:

Ace$ynper it sucked when he got booted we had good times back in the day. He prowls around on some other boards still.

I prefer being lonely in the car. Its better than having to clean up the mess, fingerprints, and smudges left by passengers

hehe wow. tld. oh the hk live action initial d wasnt all that great...

its hard to turn a good animated show into a good movie... unless that movie and show is Transformers :ylsuper:

for those that remeber a month back... I just got my cylinder head back from the machine shop... hehe.. with some extra goodies.... in the form of Brian Crower Stage 2 turbo cams, Dual Valve springs, a new valve job and a set of skunk2 pro series cam gears... hehe

pics or it didn't happen

tomorrow when i reassemble it, ill take pics

a likely story :sly:

haha.. ok.. youll eat your words tomorrow....ill even take a pic with me flipping you off and holding a sign that reads "Eat it 00!"

HA! Now I know you're lying. How will you flip me off, hold the sign, AND take the picture???

its called a timer dude... wonders of modern technology... dont worry.. youll see... ill even hold the invoice for the cams and valve springs

I live in a world devoid of technology. My house has 4 VCRs, 2 DVD players and no cable... :disappoin

but it has some tasty burritos

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn straight!!! mmm mmm mmm those things were good.

Thanks for the recipe, 00

Damn I coulda done "Cookin with 00 Part 2: Mexican Casserole". If I had thought about it last night as I cooked it I would've taken pics.
