Sorry for not updating sooner. Not a lot has been happening sadly. I've been sick, either headaches or fighting off pneumonia.

I did built a ported sub box for my sub I bought. Tuned it to 34 htz. Hits HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD. Will take pics cause it looks cool.

nice. I think everyone has been too busy to do anything. I've had a set of racing motor mounts laying around now for a couple months and I havent had time to put them on.

Well, had a little scare with Jelly this weekend. My wife drove her out of town to go to some bridal shower crap thing, but got stuck in traffic for like 30 mins... And Jelly started overheating.

Fortunately, she got moving in time and she cooled right back down... But why did it over heat?

Yesterday, I checked the water and it had been hot, so the water bioled out (coolant rather).
So first thing to check was the fan.
- Fan was good. I wired it straight to the battey.

Next was the temp switch.
- Jumped the switch and the fan did not come on. Why not?

I did not knows.

I then checked the fuse for the fan (under hook) and bam: Fuse was blown. Don't know why but it was. I replaced the fuse, then jumped the fan switch and the fan came on. I drove her around some and let her idle and the fan now comes on.

Disaster averted! Though my wife will not drive any of my cars anymore, as she always has problems. She says that since my cars are always girls, they are jealous and hate her

Well things are starting to pick up in my car world. I am FINALLY getting my Turbo Integra done... Or at least driveable. I should have it out of the shop and back at my house this week or weekend.

Once that is home and I can get it completely street worthy, I will start working on Jelly. I have sourced out another fender for her and I already have another gas cap and wing.

A lil bit of work I've done to the messed up panel, but nothing major.

I had said I decided on a color scheme, but here is an example I've found. Feel free to post other pics of Samba Green sols with white wheels.



Except with my current wheels, which are like 01 EX's.

So, thats whats happening with Jelly. Oh, and the clutch. Thats not getting better so it's possible once my Teg is on the road, I'll be tearing Jelly apart and doing the clutch. We'll see.

More action will be happening in my other build thread, so check there if ya wanna see stuff goin on.

Well, not too much to update actually. Just driving her everyday, pwning n00bs who pay a car payment every month and get less mileage than me

My Integra is home and I am currently tryin to get her 100% together so I can start on the body work on Jellybean. Until then, thats whats happnin, which isn't much :S


But once I start on the body work, it'll be a pretty quick process

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! I'm not dead and stuff :D

Not much goin on the ole Jellybean front. I just put gas in her and drive anywhere I want. Ac still blows cold (around 40-45 degrees) and she still has no issues. Well, the tach is messing up some. It use to just jump around at higher RPM but now it'll do it around 3k when its cold.

Dunno what that is, don't particularly care.

Ummmm, I'm going to put another CD player in her soon. Not having a mp3 player just sucks.

I'll be getting the dies for the dents soon and I'll start on that. In september I'll have my turbo Teg back on the road. Once I do and I know its not going to fall apart on me, I will hit Jellybean hard on the body work.

I'd rather not be driving around and letting the body filler be exposed to the elements and whatnot. So things will be coming along here shortly.

As always, plans never work out the way they are suppose to but she will get painted
