passenger brake doesn't work! Help please! - Page 3

Oh yeah,

I'm also wondering if I need to use D16A6 pistons and a thicker head gasket. Since the D16Y8 head bumps up the CR on a D16A6 to 10:1. If I use D16A1 pistons and a D16Y8 VTEC head, the CR will be too high to run turbo. Not that I NEED to run a turbo system, I just want to. Since I already have one, I might as well use it on something, right?

Yeah.. It's best to not run too high of compression with a turbo... Keep up the work and try to keep us posted on it!

Oh, got a reply from aves911 on my suggestions. Said that he is currently swamped, but will look into the mod situation. Said he would also keep my suggestions in mind and bring them before the other mods.

Do we really need a mod?

We all seem to be able to play nicely with others.

But if we must, my vote would be for cvcc_wagon.

see you guys in a week, i'm off to Orlando.

Figori · 01-25-2005, 12:20 AM

w00t! Orlando rocks. Hope you have fun, and don't get arrested...

cvcc_wagon · 01-25-2005, 12:52 AM

well it's just business so i don't expect to have a whole ton of fun.

cvcc_wagon · 02-05-2005, 02:07 AM

woo hoo! i'm going to Las Vegas next week! again, just another trade show to work at but it's in Las Vegas

Figori · 02-05-2005, 03:25 PM

I used to live in Las Vegas... Years ago. Was too young to really appreciate it, but I've been back a few times since then. Make sure you go to the top of the Stratus Sphere... Got a sick rollercoaster on the top, and a "Sling-shot"... Anyways, enjoy!

cvcc_wagon · 02-05-2005, 05:41 PM

well if i get any free time i will check that out, unfortunatly not being 21 quite yet puts a damper on things. it's like having $19 in the bank and trying to use the ATM

what's really annoying is that up here in canada you can drink etc. at 19, then to go down south and be treated like i'm 18 again.... sigh...

Going to be getting a new car soon!
Well... a new, old car anyway.

A 1969 BMW 2800CS!
Here are some links if anyone is curious to see what they look like.

As soon as I take posession, I'll post some pics if anyone wants to see the actual car.

I might consider selling the CRX, but I haven't decided yet. It's still fun to work on, and parts are way cheaper than BMW parts, but the CRX just doesn't compare to the style and HP of the Bimmer. I'm kinda' thinking that I should turn the CRX into a full race car, then I can justify owning both since they will serve different purpouses. Also, this way I won't be kicked out of the Honda forums.

I love vintage, rare and unusual cars (as some of you already know) and this car certainly fits the bill. There were only about 10,000 of these cars made, and only about 1000 made it to the US.

lxndr · 02-09-2005, 12:04 AM

OK, can't sell the Honda. I just checked out the BMW CS forum and there are a whopping 4 posts! I guess I should have known that would be the case, given that the car is so rare.

cvcc_wagon · 02-09-2005, 12:44 AM

that's awesome. those old BMW's look pretty cool. you should keep the rex as a winter car

i wouldn't want to be driving around on salty Seattle roads in the Bimmer

Are you getting an SI motor or just a 1.5?

You can get both motors from a JDM importer. The JDM SI cars came with a DOHC 1.6L D16A1-ZC while the other models used the same 1.5L motor that we've got over here. A friend of mine got a JDM motor for his '84 CRX (for about $400) and it was exactly like the carbed motor he was replacing it with. As I remember, when we installed it some of the vacuum lines were different so we ended up using his old intake manifold and vacuum box. We just pulled the intake off of the old motor and set it on top of the fire wall with the vacuum lines still attached, then bropped the new motor in. Part of the reason for this approach is that before this swap, we had swapped a JDM motor into an his '86 Accord. Even though we labeled all of the vacuum lines before we disconnected them, we still ran into a huge headache trying to figure out where all of those little buggers were supposed to be attached.
