mmmmmmm i had a grand idea today. rings are fairly in expensive, and my block is over all good minus rings, so i thought, hey why not, i'll just hone out then re ring my d15b1. then mini me it. i mean, my **** pulls so hard right now, why change what i have? assuming that the z6 cam's main lobes are the same specs of the a6 before vtec, man it's scary to think of what it'll be like with vtec, even if it isn't that hard.

today i cruised around, filled the tank thanks to my girlfriend loaning me some money since she got some birthday money.

finaly got my system to sound good, i actually took out my HUGE box and replaced it with a sealed box with one sub. sounds pretty good, i'm happy with it for now and it weighs less.

i think i need to get some new struts, and upgrade to my 15/16ths master cylinder, my brakes are kind of mushy and my suspension rides nice but is kind of soft when i hit bumps. when i do i'd like to get something a little more stiff as far as the shocks go. probably go with some koni yellows or something, since my coils are fairly nice, and even though they are 8 years old they are still running strong and are like 300 dollar coil overs new.

today i swapped in my new rear calipers, found out the drivers side rear caliper was stuck with the ebrake cable frozen pulled tight, and installed my obx-r exhaust on my car (well the axle back any ways, the b pipe was already on). man this thing is QUIET!!! and the butt dyno shows an improvement in the pull factor. plus everything bolts up nicely, which means no more raspy leaks. only problem i have with it (other than how it looks) is that the muffler portion hangs like an inch above the ground

so I've been going cruising with some buddies of mine and been meeting new friends. any ways, we went cruising out to crown point and when we were getting on the freeway i was pulling right behind my buddy tony's b20/v em1, and i kept up till he hit vtec. if i would have shifted i might have stayed with him. mind you we were both going up hill, i had my girl with me and one sub, he had his friend johnny and some subs too. my **** is quick man... it's so much fun. next week it's getting new rings and an obd1 conversion with some mad single slam vtecs. probably going to port match the head to the i/m and header.

installing my obx-r axle back got rid of my laging feeling too from about 5g's to 7g's... it sucks, my **** accellerates so quick in first i keep bouncing off the rev limiter. it'd be scary to see what its like with a lightened pully and fly wheel...

get a flywheel for it, and leave the crank pulley OEM. lightened crank pulleys have a tendency to make the crank vibrate and damage it.

damn was getting on the freeway with my friend patrick tonight after i got off work, as i was accelerating i lost traction in second, burned through third (up hill mind you) then hit fourth and it bogged down to like 2k rpms lol so i gently shifted back into third and took off. lol i can also brake loose if i accelerate too quickly in first or second just by gassing it

hahaha yeah thanks you should get one again! what happened to your ek sedan? i'm going to re ring my b1 and convert to obd1 single slam vtec in the next two to three weeks, and i am going to port match my head, intake mani and header together so it flows better. might clean up some of the rough casting stuff too while i'm at it.

so today i burst a brake line. that's a scary situation. i had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting some one and the pedal just sank to the floor. i got lucky and was able to swerve into an empty drive way, but damn that **** was scary. i was able to limp it home since my parking brake now works quite well since i replaced my calipers.

any ways while i was in there i also replaced my master cylinder with a 15/16'ths m/c. then cruised out to walmart (not the one i work at) in search of jumbo corn dogs for steven.

OH MY GOD that looks ****ing amazing!!! what kind of fries are those in the back ground? you cali guys sure do get the good burger places. i don't even know where the nearest burger joint is that sells any thing larger than i think a quarter pounder.

well i didn't do much today, just hauled some groceries in it for my friend, and replaced my 10" sub with a 12" dual brand sub. going to get something better, like a pioneer or something, maybe on one of my next pay days. sadly nothing else, didn't even get my tail light sealed cuz i had to clean house (can't live in a pig sty)

wow Yeah he did then lol I could crank it up on my old pioneer and it would hit hard as hell all the way to the top. I did notice that the pioneer would drop the bass levels and increase the treble the higher you went too. weird.

mmmmmm time to start backing into the driveway and parking my van in front of the civic again. apekd said some one was snooping around my car this morning, and i don't want my baby to go missing just cuz i have a shiny *** exhaust on it.
on a side note i now no longer have leaky tail lights. depending on how big my check is i may order new axle seals today. got bills to pay first tho.

well, due to having to pay a couple un expected bills, i wasn't able to buy much more than some oil and some new headlights for my car. i suppose i can handle smoking out my town for two more weeks... i did however manage to squeeze a few mins in at the junk yard.

just my luck, i go there looking for lips, nothing else, and every honda there either doesn't have one, is missing the bumpers, or is all smashed up in the front. go figure. but i did get these parts today:



for any one that can't tell, its two obd1 iacv's, a pair of prelude fog light brackets (the fogs were hella smashed up from rocks and what not, other wise i would have snagged them fo sho!), a set of obd1 injectors with injector clips, a pair of headlight plugs so i can run the headlight bulbs that i bought since one of my ballasts decided to go out on me, and both ends of a reverse light plug that im going to use for the oil pressure switch on my vtec solenoid since the one wire plug is IMPOSSIBLE to find, and i managed to lose the one i had.

here's the bulbs i bought


i know they're cheapys but they will work until i can find and afford sylvania silver stars, like what my brights are.
