Seriously OT: Whoring Galore here in Part 4!

well i got 3001

Yeah man..some of the crappiest times ever were in the rain in the summer in the rex.. man. And if I was wet also, then it got downright steamy. Sucking off the little vent like a snorkle in the worst rain ive ever seen with the windshield fogging and its dark...and I had to crack the window a bit, but still got soaked because it was raining so hard.

anyone mear Oakland want some seats

damn good price and local, cant spend any money on the hatch though, since it doesnt work lol.

well guys i'm about to join the 4th gen family... today i pick up my '91 :D :D :D

*borat* Very nice, how much!?

Anyone know any places that can make axles that don't want an arm and a leg? Can't seem to keep a right axle in my CRX because I'm having to make them myself...not work so well. Just need the 86 CRX outer and 91 civic inner joints.

Drive shaft shop?

bah....car is going on the back burner and its donating its engine to my other hatch. When I finally get away from all the rednecks here and around some different type of racing, Ill convert the car over...till then, I will work on building an engine for it :)

*borat* Very nice, how much!?

yeah, you need to lower that ish.... looks like youre about to go 4-wheelin..

lol i know... the wheels are just too big imo, i think i might go to the junkyard and find some steelies...

wheels are really big...go on craigslist or vadriven and trade with someone...interior shots?

coming up later :D

cars in the shop overnight.. getting a R134a refrigerant conversion and charge... I'll have a/c by tomorrow :D

well that's $325 spent on my car

Be warned, you wont be totally satisfied with it. Itll blow cold while your moving..but you just be on the verge of sweating when your sitting still in the daytime..night time youll freeze your nuts off.

Im going to run braided lines for all of my a/c stuff real soon. Friend of mine works for a supplier of the stuff and gets it all at cost. They do all kinds of fittings and like 6 different types of line including shielded ac lines, which is one reason r134 sucks in our cars. The lines arent shielded and the stuff will seep through the hoses over time.

Plus, Ive noticed especially since I have a header with no heat shield now just how damn hot the ac lines get. I burned my hand on one just by not running the ac on a trip. That cant be good for efficiency.

damn.. my civ has a header (ugly and rusty lol) so i'll probably pick up some thermal wrap for my a/c lines... Now the car might be there til tomorrow (they had to order convo kit :mad: )

How would 15's look instead of those monstrous 17's? lol I like the motegi 5 spoke black/aluminum

deez

those will look good, also think it'll look good with some bronz or black acura mesh wheels
http://www.superhonda.com/photopost/data/504/medium/mesh_bronze_1.jpg

ooooooooooh nice, where can those be found and what size?

those are just some regular Acura mesh rims that were painted
http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1356908

i don't know the size...mabey 15"...but i'd look on craigslis or vadriven, can get them from $200-$300+ with or without tires

Dude the conv kit is like 30 bucks at autozone lol. Unless they are actually converting your evaporator and such. In which case woot for you. you wont have to worry about sucky air.

On a side note. I have a friend with about 30ft of extra ehader wrap, I think im gonna use it on mine for two reasons...1. to cover the nasty ebayness, and also to reduce ambient heat in the engine bay. The damn thing will literally glow.

well apparently i need a whole new system.. they converted it to 134 and it just ain't cold. I tried to turn it on tonight and the compressor wont kick on... thinkin it's the pressure switch... i'm going back tomorrow and trying to get a partial refund/get it fixed


BTW I just moved into my mom's apartment... no tools, no space to work on a car :(

Sucks man. yeah mine wouldnt kick on when first done either. I didnt have the thermostat hooked up on the evaporator.

Ouch. Went with great camber arms and a shitty distributor lol.

Im pretty sure my radius arms has come loose, could feel the wheel clicking back and forth on and off the throttle last night. I noticed the bolts were loose when I dropped the tranny last and totally forgot to crank them down.

To check your A/C: if it's the compressor, it's probably the clutch, so you turn the button on, then check to see if the middle section of the pulley is spinning.. if it's not, it's the clutch and/or wiring. (Or the A/C system is discharged, you can check this w/ a recharge kit, or a pressure gauge w/ adaptors for the end.)

If the pulley spins, and no cold air, obviously, it's in need of a coolant charge, or a system cleaning (highly unlikely that it needs to be cleaned)

I finally got around to looking at my A/C today. I'm not sure what you mean by "middle section". Do you mean from looking at the top of the compressor or looking at it from the side? I took this little video, but it's not too clear:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aANBiiWprTo

The part that the belt runs on moves fine. Not sure if to the left of the belt is a different part or if it's still part of the pulley (I've honestly never payed attention to a compressor before when taking them off a car), but it's definitely moving. I also noticed that the A/C fan is not moving at all. Is that normal if something else is messed up, or is it likely a wiring or relay issue? If it's likely a wiring &/or a wiring issue, I'll get my volt meter thingy out tomorrow and check the plug and relay (per the helms service manual).

Ouch. Went with great camber arms and a shitty distributor lol.


as long as the distributor works i'm happy:smile: and if all goes to plan, won't have to worry about it this time next year:evillol:

Well spoon. that sounds like a wiring issue sir. When you hit the ac all of the fans should come on by default. Also when they are talking about the middle section of the ac compressor, it means the center of the pulley area looking at it from the side. Also the piece that isnt rotating just to the right of the compressor in the video will kick to the left up against the pulley and will begin to rotate as well.

poop :(

found some teg gsr wheels, 14" with tires in my area :pimp:

as soon as the stang tires sell i'm pickin 'em up... so what you guys think flat black, gloss black, or gunmetal? :D

Unless im an idiot gsr wheels are 15"

Correcting myself. The 92-93 gsr's are 195-65-14", all later years are 15.

since your car is black i wouldn't do the wheels in black unless you plan on polishing the lip...but i vote bronze

you sure do like bronze lol

Not really…I only say bronze b/c it is a “safe” color. But as for myself…I’d do a dark blue with a polished lip and have that theme transfer into my engine bay, and interior (under any circumstances DO NOT PAINT YOUR PANELS!!!)…but that’s my opnion.

i think if i get them i'm gonna do anthracite and see how that turns out... i'm not a fan of colored wheels, i like to stick to black, silver, and hues within that range

if you really want black, and you want supreme protection from corrosion, etc... get 'em sandblasted, then find a machine shop that does black nitride.

I promise, you'll never have to worry about it chipping or peeling, and unless you bang it on a curb or something, you won't have to have them re-dipped.

hmm, i didn't think of that... there's a company here that does hella good work... I might check into that

that's what i'm getting done to my ZC engine... black nitride block and head, valve cover, etc.. probably even the turbo. but I have to find out about heat being an issue w/ nitride... it might bake off.

i thought people from Cali only said Hella :confused:

maybe he moved outta cali. lol.

don't paint the GSR wheels! just rock them as is until you find a used pair of aftermarket wheels with a polished lip to paint whatever color you want. yup!

look at that Greg, we're being profiled and judged....that's hella messed up :grinno:

lol.

eh, the GSR's are gone... I'm gonna probably be rockin steelies for a while... btw I got hella from a friend from cali... being around her everyday I just pcked it up

Happy Father's Day

to ME!!!!!!!!!!

to everybody but YOU!!!

random.....or something

I say "hella" hella times a day. I picked it up from an Oakland native tho.


...random post of the month for 00 :wave:

I'm a hungry bus mechanic.

is your complaint that you are hungry or that you are a bus mechanic?

maybe 2-3 yrs ago we drove down to Lodi, CA and bought a CRX for a friend and brought it home. Years later it's been passed to a couple of kids and now the last owner traded it to us for the turbo off the orange civic, a set of GSR wheels a friend gave us, and a skunk2 exhaust somebody else gave us that was chopped up.

now don't get all excited. the crx is primer. it does have a b18 and a welded in traction bar. everything else cool or not welded down was taken off the car thru the various owners.

trade you my d15 for that b18 lol

my complaint was that i'm hungry

So I am totally fascinated by super pocket bikes right now. I want one so bad. A guy up in tampa has one registered and is riding it on the roads! Screw the scooters I was looking at buying. for about 500 bucks I could go faster, look cooler and get some awesome looks from people on the road.

Plus theres a HUGE aftermarket for these models of bikes, including relatively cheap engine upgrades to 150cc+(big bore kits up to 188).
Plus about 100mpg and the initial price tag makes my mouth water.
They are like half the size of a real bike so they arent like trying to fit your body on the top of a bar stool lol. And have full blinkers, gear indicators, xenon headlights and electric key start.

S300 unit...or mini sport bike, I cant decide.

http://www.usa-pocket-bikes.com/x18/

hmm with gas prices... mini sport bike... get crome (free) AND the mini sport bike..

But i need an emulator and chip burner at minimum. I can MAKE a datalogging cable for like 5 bucks at radioshack.

I spent most of the night looking at videos and im totally hooked. I found plenty of sites and forums with how to on registering in Fl etc etc..and I totally want to do like a 160cc swap on one of them. Those things ride OUT. theyll actually pull up in first gear without trying.

Screw a damn scooter. Even sport bikers will give you a thumbs up on one of these. And I can only IMAGINE the curious girls who will wanna talk to you at lights...plus, your eye level :P

on the gas mileage part. It only has like a half gallon tank, but that gets it at least 40+ miles!

and you wouldn't be messing up on getting something other than a Honda... they use Honda based engines... it qualifies in my book.

I'm still trying to find out about getting a MC plate for a ATV... lol

i'd be driving the Land Cruiser and wouldn't see you

Bah. I know...

And yeah they are honda based engines, based on the 50cc mounts, so basically anything with the same case will fit. up to like 125, 140, 150, 160cc+big bore=holy hell.
