Seriously OT: Whoring Galore here in Part 4!

I wont be doing much tracking with the 8 so a full couilover setup wasnt worth it to me... and the price for these i couldnt say no to....

So Ill be getting the money for my engine and turbo in the next day or two..time to go shoppin!

Adj shocks are also in order as right now I have black tubes that make swooshing noises when I drive..not shocks.

the Tein SS with pliiowball mounts cost $1340...i think they'll be worth it...i think that model comes with camber plates...i'm more into setting up the suspension that having more power

Damn that's crazy. I know a guy who met him at an auto show, said he was a major egotistical asshole. From the tv show, it seemed to be believable.

Something else died today though... my bag of "stuff" :( It was too wet just sitting in it's bag, and I forgot about it for a week. If I wasn't sober, I wouldn't have even realized it was moldy. Smells perfectly fine, and the mold looks like bigger milky white trichomes (tiny mushroom shaped "crystals"). This is the 2nd time I've ever done this, and both times have been within the past 6 months. Guess if I was still a pothead, I wouldn't have to worry because it'd all be gone before it molded.

:lol:

:disappoin ......... just :disappoin

thats just depressing..sell it to someone lol

another day goes by and i still haven't sold my civic. argh.

thats just depressing..sell it to someone lol
I was going to give it to someone, but I would have felt bad doing that to him. I guess it could be worse though. I still have some other stuff, and I didn't pay for it anyways.

so i got a call tonight and showed the car to a guy. he said saturday he will have the money. $2800. finally. i just hope he doesn't back out.

nothings final until you have the cash in hand....

Good luck though

Good luck though

we've seen how his luck is :iceslolan

So A week after putting my front knuckles on my front tires are dead. I went for an alignment today and when they put it on the rack my speculation was confirmed. The left hub is totally shot. It has nearly 1/2" of play in all directions, up down left and right..it looks like the wheel is going to fall right off. Also my right tie rod is a little worn. So now im ordering new tires (woot theyre on sale for 68 ea.) and going to the junkyard to hope that the one integra they had a month ago is still there.

we've seen how his luck is :iceslolan
yeah. it's bad but i have had some good luck with a few things lately.

<3 tools. My little metric single socket set from ace finally died when I stood on the ratchet for the 50th time, and then the lid disappeared and slowly I started losing sockets. So I did it right this time. Spent 150 on this bad boy.
It has 1/4 6 pt, 3/8 12 and 6 pt, and 3/8 deep, and 1/2" as well. All in metric and sae, with a set of combo wrenches also.

I also bought two new front tires since I thrashed mine driving on them. It also turns out the the right lower balljoint nut was only on by about 3 threads because I had used an impact gun late at night and it hit rough threads.. when I put a ratchet on the the wheel literally just wiggled around.

good looking set.

what kind of tires?

Hankook ventus rs2 z212's

http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tirebrand=Hankook&tiremodel=Ventus+R-S2+(Z212)

Yeah..its an autocross tire. And yes, they fucking rock. Ive never been a hankook fan but basically there are two options if your road racing, the falken azenis, and these.

they came on my wheels before I knew wtf I was getting..and man was I stoked when I found out.

did you get those tools from K-mart or Sears?

Happy Anniversary to me!!!!!!!!!!!

8 years married but this is our 2nd official anniversary
:)

lol blu you find the craziest pictures..congrats on the anniversary..maybe youll get special presents

Sears. And replaced a breaker bar that we broke trying to get my axle nut off the first time.

I went snowboarding for the first time today... I have a whole new respect for those X Games guys. I did 8 runs and managed not to kill myself or require EMTs

..barely.

Yeah. I spent a good amount of time on my ass. There were a LOT of little kids out there skiing and any time I saw one in my path I'd either fall down trying to adjust or just fall intentionally to avoid the possibility of me running them over. A 180 lb man running into a 50 lb kid would not be good for anybody. Then there were times where I just fell out of pure rookieness.

The hardest part about it all was getting off the ski lift.... I was ungraceful to say the least :disappoin I definitely wanna go back though. But that shit is expensive. $89 for rental/lift fees

damn. i can't snowboard. i can't control it that good.

After two semi out of control runs, I realized the directional control starts in the hips and transfers to the legs. My front foot was always getting away from me at first cause I was only using my back foot to try and control like a boat rudder. All I accomplised doing that was to get a REALLY tired right calf.

Once I got my hips to control my feet, I tried to learn to control my speed but it ws really icy on the slope yesterday so stopping was hard to do. The best brake I found was my ass. I could definitely benefit from a lesson by someone who really knows what they're doing. All I had was my friend who's been only 3 times before and she's almost as bad as me.

yeah....i'm back

you left?



...welcome back buddy :dunno: :)

went to Va Beach for my anniversary...

Ah so. A lil time away for some QT with the wifey... and you left us here alone :crying:

So I had reverse kharma happen to me.

Thursday, leaving work, I helped a woman at work who had a flat tire (slow leak). I took the time to pump up the tire with a bicycle pump. Then I go home and feel good that I did a good deed.

Friday, I come home from work and me and the mrs. go get some take out Japanese food and head back to the house. I turn into the middle of the highway to make my left and a tow strap hook embeds itself in my tire. I made it home (just through a couples subdivisions). But that really sucked!

I knew I needed new tires anyway, but this wasn't exactly the sign I needed. Maybe a couple hundred dollar bills laying on the pavement would've been a nice sign :lol: So anyway, I get up first thing Saturday on my anniversary to plug a tire. The tire took 3 plugs and was filled with air (from the bicycle pump) and back on the Jeep... done in less than 30 minutes. Maybe I should do this for some extra cash at the local tire place. :lol:

The Jeep made it no problem through downtown, up the freeway and to Discount Tire, where I purchased 4 new BFG All terrain tires :ylsuper: I haggled my way to getting them for $114 a piece but also got the lifetime free replacement warranty if anything happens to them which put a nice big dent in my cc. Oh shell...

i had a 3 inch bolt in my tire and that took 2 plugs...i didn't think i'd hold, but it did

I got a mysterious hole in one of my nittos on my crx..after fix-a-falt and slime wouldnt hole..I put a screw in it! lol. It held for about a week and even through a trip to a concert with my best friends sister (eventually girlfriend:P) totally unaware of it in the passenger seat. God that girl loved my car for some strange ass reason.

My other rear tire had been plugged for about a month now. It was just a screw but it was actually more difficult to plug. When the tire has no air in it, plugging is really easy.

I'd say I got my $15 worth for the Walmart tire plug kit and $7 bicycle pump :lol:

I definitely need some better jackstands and a better floor jack though. I don't trust the jack stands because they don't lock in place so great. The floor jack is 2.25 ton but it's puny and barely gets the Jeep off the ground from the axle in the rear. Too bad I just got my Anniversary, early b-day gift and when hell freezes over gift too... :lol:

Somebody want a nice VW Passat????... runs great and gets 31mpg hwy. For the price of fixing what needs to be fixing it would be a great car to have. But my wife is the original owner and wants something else. Actually she wants the Jeep and I want an EP3 :wink:

A little over a month left until the release date and I haven't seen 1 freaking commercial on tv. Am I really that out of touch with society, or has this country gone insane. I literally haven't been to the movies in 6 years, so maybe the trailer is shown before a bunch of movies. But...IT'S A FREAKING MOVIE WITH JACKIE CHAN AND JET LI!!!! HOW THE HELL CAN YOU NOT PROMOTE THE CRAP OUT OF THIS MOVIE?!?! Why have I not seen 1 single commercial on tv for this movie? Last I heard, they were still writing the script for this, sometime last year, and suddenly I find out about it from WIKIPEDIA of all places. WTF...

we're having a debat on another forum...is it wrong that i find this funny

http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/43462/9fb16ab3/us_soldaat_gooit_puppy.html

Isn't Vick your last name?

sorry guys, i've been MIA for a little over a week....and what a crazy week it was. it started with chess regionals feb 23rd, the weekend before last. then on tues our plumbing backed up. called the plumber and our vintage house doesn't have a clean out. they had to drill a hole in the side of the house and drill a temp hole in the pipes to clean it out for $95. they have to come out and actually install a clean out in that spot sometime in the near future for $350. at this time my brother calls and says he's moving back to cali. he asks if he can store some stuff at my house. next thing i know everything is at my house because he decides he needs to stay at my house 2 days before he bounces out. okay, whatever...i have too much going on to care it looks like a tornado hit my house with his stuff. thurs rolls around and our gas heater starts making crazy noise. jer takes it apart to find a bearing went out in the blower. call around and find out since it's hella old good luck sorcing parts. we have to bounce out on fri for Vic's DI regionals. i go to do dishes and the kitchen sink backs up :banghead:

we leave and when we come back on sat night it's 40 in the house. we hid out in our rooms with the electric heaters for the night. the next day jer decides its sun and we're not waiting for monday to hear the bad news there were no parts found. long story short....jer fixed the blower with the old Legend pilot bearing we took out when we replaced the clutch :ylsuper:

now let me back up to chess regionals. remember the boy she lost to at MLK. it was her only loss and he was undefeated for the day. she ended up having to face him in round 2 at regionals. she beat him. then the kid's dad (who was the coach for that team) threw a fit trying to say our coach came over and told his kid he was going to lose causing his kid to be discouraged and lose. they tried to force a rematch. the other coaches got together and voted no rematch so that kid's dad packed up the team and left. talk about sore losers!!! our team ended up having the most wins and for the first time since 1995 our team is going to state!!! Vic is one of the 4 kids on the team going.

then they had DI regionals this past weekend where they again are advancing to state.

okay....so there it was. my insanity in a nutshell.

Wow thats a nutshell alright..

So I found a great DA in the yard, still has EVERYTHING..its practically untouched, so I took the rear sway, and lower control arms..im thinking about pulling the whole rear disc setup and selling it. Also it still has the b18 in it..but I dunno if I wanan go pulling an engine in a junkyard where the cars sit on the ground and you have to fidn a spare tire jack to lift the damn thing.

Im going back tomorrow or wed. to get the front sways and the knuckle I need to replace cause the one I used has a bad bearing... Oh and my tires came today, dear god. The guy I bought my original ones from said they had 50% tread..what a crock lol, these new ones have DEEP tread, and look like they were born for water lol.

W rated lol..anyone wanna do 168?

what do you guys think of this:
like the title says "1991 Civic Si/ B17a," hasn`t been driven in a while. needs to be towed. it ran when parked, radio was stolen. Lots of parts,tokico blue suspension,thermal exhaust,Hasport mounts,B17a/LS1 swap,ITR intake manifold and TB, stage3 clutch. $$$2000 ASIS

update... today 3/4/08 The car needs a new engine wiring hardness. it has a short between the ecu and the ignitor. the ecu does not sense the crank spinning, and does not supply spark to fire up. i could jump the wire, but that would look like shit.

The swap and all Gs-R parts related, were taken from a salvaged car from an insurance auction 4 years ago it had 64,XXX on the odometer. i would have the title to show mileage but it was required by the company, as proof of ownership, in order to junk the car.

forgot:: has 1992 Gs-R full suspension/brake swap... the car has front and rear disc brakes

I've been up since 3:40 and worked 13 hours but all in all today was a kick ass day. And if anyone follows the NFL then they know what was the icing on the cake today for me :ylsuper:

Now that is a good deal blu. Just needs AC.. I have a feeling he may be a retard and it just needs a new dizzy, or maybe the wire really is bad, either way if this is the case its an easy fix.

i like the car.

call and pick his brain. find out what they tried & didn't try to come up with the solution of a new harness....report back to us and then we'll tell you what is really wrong, how to really fix it, and how much it will actually cost.

if really need be, you have my number.

will do...he's been trying to sell it since 12/25

i'll see if i can get more info

That's a nice si. If you do pick it up, be sure to put peanut butter on the moldings and front lip. It did wonders for Frodo's car. :thumbsup:

And no, I'm not giving away the VW. It's for sale... $3800 obo.

Yeah the peanut butter worked..except I didnt get it to a car wash in time and it dried up, but still looks tons better..just has a slight milky haze lol..gotta go wash the car more than once a year.

Wow am I lucky! Lookie what I managed to snag from the yard today for a whopping 50 bucks!

Bye bye wheel gap from hell :)

..gotta go wash the car more than once a year.
If you're not joking, I will have to come smack you

My paint is shot..cars dont get dirty here in fl, and Ive polished the car so yeah its been washed at least once. BUT Ill have had it 1 year in april so...yeah.

I don't contest that your paint may be shot, but I lived in FL from 2001-07 and my car got dirty on a regular basis. I absolutely HATE the pollen in Talahassee. There are few things more frustrating than to wash your beautiful blue car and ten minutes later see a hazy green film form on your paint.

Ah well, except for a brief period that will be coming up soon, no pollen around here unless you park under a pine tree lol.

made $50 selling stuff on craigslist today...good find on the coils, but who has a yard sale on a wednesday?
