Okay... Let me walk you through it...

You find the image that you want, and right-click on it (in a separate window from your AF one). Go to properties. Highlight the area after Address: (URL) and copy what the address is (Should be a http://www.blahblahblah.com/blah.jpg ). Then go to your message window and click on the insert image button and in the box that pops up, insert the address that you copied and press enter. That should place the address inbetween the [img] .[/img]. in the message box. Then you post the message and VIOLA! The image is now in your text. Hope this helps.

Hey, lxndr, how much for the center console, all the way up to the radio surround, the lower part of the passenger side dash (w/ radio surround), clock, under-dash wiring harness, and breather tube (part between intake and filter box). Prices with shipping to 39702. Thanks.

Tried that.
When the image posted, all I could see was the URL.
I'm such a computer dolt!
I'll try it again.

Dash parts, wiring, tube and shipping will probably be around $50, but this is just a guess. I won't be able to get out to the junk yard until this weekend, so hopefully the parts will still be there. Did you ever find a passenger side skirt? The one on the red CRX is cracked at the top by the wheel well, but If you're desperate, you could do some careful cutting and glue the crack free part to yours.

There... That is the image you posted the link to.

Try it again. You can use the shortcut of the [?IMG]http://www.walgreens.com/dbimagecache/6612.gif[/IMG?] and see if it works like that. (Take the ?'s out.. I had to put those in for the IMG and the address to show up instead of the picture. ) That is what it should look like, though...

If you can get the driver's side skirt for not much, I guess we could try 'glassing it together... Just get me a for-sure price and we'll talk.

Re: passenger brake doesn't work! Help please!

back to the header/exhaust noise saga. like i said before, i hit about 2800-3000 rpm and i got a really loud farty kind of noise and it was really annoying. today i got a glass packed cherry bomb muffler (Canadian Tire Special ) and put that in place of the straight section of exhaust after header (it looks like a large resonator, about 26" overall length.) it improved the situation very much. now i still hear the same tone at those rpm's but it is much quieter. at about 4000-4500 rpm it starts to get pretty loud but you have to be pretty intent on moving quickly to get there so it doesn't concern me. when i am just cruising around at normal speed and acceleration the volume is quite low so i'm happy again. it only took two mufflers

When I went back to the junk yard the CRX had already been pretty well stripped. About the only useful parts left were the sunroof, rear wiper and engine block. The dash was still there but someone destroyed it getting the heater core out. Sorry.

Re: passenger brake doesn't work! Help please!

Hey Andrew,

I have a little spare time right now, so I've been tinkering on the D16A1. I rebember that you had mentioned that there is a shop in your area that does good, reasonably priced machine work. What do you think they might charge to rebuild and port my 16V cylinder head? Can they regrind the cams so I can get a little more umph out of the motor?

P.S. I've decided to just assemble the D16A1 motor as is w/o turbo. I'm really excited about the idea of building a turbo Vtec motor instead.

Re: passenger brake doesn't work! Help please!

well the machine shop i went to turned out not to be as great as i originally anticipated. they did good work but i wouldn't bother coming up from seattle for them. however the cam grinder i went to was excellent.
his name is Geoff Bardal owner of Colt Cams.
he uses grinds he has developed over the last 25 years as a cam grinder. when i went in to his shop and set my cam on the desk he told me what year/make/model/engine size it came from and why my last exhaust lobe was almost flat before i opened my mouth. he then spent the next hour talking to me about old hondas and all sorts of stuff. he usually has 3 or 4 grinds for each motor. stage 1 will be cose to stock, 2 and 3 will be more lumpy. he also does nitros/forced induction grinds for some motors like the EW’s. with the EW’s he uses a tri flow design where one of the intake valves opens slightly before the other for better mixture.

here is his info.
