I'd go for the gauges; but only if they're cryotreated

But seriously, does that really do any good for brake pads, since they aren't a solid piece of metal?

 

They have seen brake rotors and brakes last up to like 3 times longer... the numbers they have to back up the cryo process are unbelievable.. they even cryo panty hose and razors...!!!!

 

I'll buy your oil pump. I need one for my b18B monster.

 

I'd probably be interested in your manifold. Keep us updated.

 

put me down for that profec b.

 

I may want the filter.

 

Damon,
???? for you, Your not thinking of parting your teg are you. Sounds like you are or you have a crap load of extra parts to sell.

Just a question MANG.

 

I am parting the teg.. I am just sick of it man.. Spending the $$ waiting on it to be finished. I have been buying parts and had this thing down since Jan.. sad part is its all ready all I have left to do is put it back together and buy my new IC and piping I have the money.. I am just spent bro.. Hit the wall I guess.. Like I said just testing the waters so far..

 

Who's the chick in your avatar? Looks delicious.

 

A girl I suppose I am still trying to "woo"

how come so many ppl is selling their stuff??

VTC_CiViC is parting out his SOHC turbo too..plus the hondata
but he said he is building a motor, WTF??

 

OK guys I am Damon's boss and I don't ever post here but read a lot of you guy's knowledge. I think he is losing his mind or something. The car is almost back together.

I think it is just a big part of having to drive a POS truck everyday while his car is down. I sat down with him today and pretty much told him I would not let him sell the stuff. I even went as far as to tell him that we could pull my baby off the showroom floor so that he could drive a real car again.

You guys please help me out here and back me on this one. I don't want to see him give up now. He is so close.

Dearest Damon
I hereby forbid you to "tap out". Consider this:

About two years ago, I broke the diff on my B16 CRX. I used this opportunity to build a high comp 1.8 motor for it. When I finished that, after break in and tune, Crower's wonderful cams decided to break, wrecking my motor. It was then I decided to resleeve teh block and go turbo with my Civic. This was in January - of 2001. In June, the motor in my Civic blew, reducing me to driving a stock CRX HF for the last year. I have remained dilligent, persistant, collecting parts and working on things when I can. One year of not driving a car really tests your patience, but I am nearing the end of the road, and once it's done, it'll be everything I wanted when I started.

If I can finish it, so can you. And I have a LOT of money invested in my car. So you are hereby banned from tapping out.

Love John

 

Damon DAmon Damon,

hey bro,i am starting to feel the same about the hatch, if its not one thing its another. Dude i'd just stick it out and keep it. I figure id regret it and all the work and time spent on the car, being parted out or sold as one. Keep it man, just have a lil more patience on the PUMKIN car and you'll be happy with results.

 

Dearest Damon,

John's is a true story. He has attempted to tap out several times, and I was one of the ones that would not let him. I two have been down, I have been down since March. I am only about halfway on my rebuild, and have had "tapping out" on my mind lately. There is nothing worse than looking in the garage only to see a beautiful 2001 GSR with no motor and useless. I know where you are coming from, but being that you are so close, I also FORBID you to tap out.

Joe (patiently waiting for boost)

 

Damon put that damn car together now. You are the closest fast import to me and I will make the drive out there so we can go V8 hunting as soon as you break it in and tune.

 

I have thought about it and I think I am going to give myself a week to think about it so if you want something post about it here and at the end of the week if I am gonna do this I will let you have what you want.. First come, first serve.. I just am really miserable right now.. No Car (lost that in Jan), No fiance(she cheated on me in Jan and I left her), No house (moved out in Feb).. follow me. My life is in the gutter right now.. I remember last year.. I was so proud, so happy with my car... Hopped in on sunday.. drove the **** out of it.. vrrrrroooooommmm. I miss that, I really do.. I want to get in a car again and put a big smile on my face and just drive.. *sigh*

 

Damon

i feel ya bro, crap man that sux, dude after i found out my girl of several years cheated on me i just dumped a lot of money in the hatch and bought an integ. Thought i was going in the gutter after that. Yours seems to be in the extreme, Whateva you decide. Good luck man.

 

interested in the profec B , apex air filter...and possibly guages if they are black

 

Keep your **** then. I'll fly doen in August to help you put it back together. It will be good practice for when I do mine.

 

Damon, get your car together, get the girl in your avatar, and you will be all set. Have a little faith, and things WILL come together.

 

Damon, I know EXACTLY how you feel, I had the same **** happen to me this year, all except for the house thing. Gotta stay motivated, focus'd, it's not easy I know, but beer helps

 

Thanks John you are really pushing me man.. I appreciate that.. Its funny when me and the devil first split up my best friend said the same thing.. "Rolling Rock and body pillow will get you through it".. I think I would be fine right now if I just had my fawking car back.. Thats what drive me nuts.. All of it TOGETHER..

 

i feel your pain. i'm in the exact same position. i'm kind of thinking about parting out my damn car as well. too much time and money and for WHAT?

i waited about 3-4 months to have my engine and head built. i waited another 2 months to break that ************ in and to tune it. after only driving it for about 2 months, i melted the upper part of the piston just like the piston in blownhatch's picture with no damage to the skirts of the pistons. spending money i don't have isn't a good feeling.

like i said, i feel your pain. but, stick by it and HOPEFULLY, it'll pay off. like you, when i'm down, i just want to get in my car and drive. here's one on me
