lol what tax return my broke *** didn't work this year hah. I'm hopefully starting at the hot rod shop soon.. I hope... I need funds to finish my sedan lol!
Hmm... 2 more days till tattoo, 3 days till fafsa refund, 4 days till parts what a week lol.
Still not sure what I'm going to get... Probably that prop valve, brake pads, and my steering wheel hub.
What do you guys suggest for rear disk brake pads??
I'm thinking these -- Hawk HP's those are the correct ones right?

Unibody can be argued as being cheaper, lighter, stronger torsionally. Most modern vehicles are unibody. Racing vehicles such as formula cars are typically monocoque which is french for unibody.
The advantage of a seperate frame chassis is that a custom body may be placed on it, and for trucks and motorhomes this is a big advantage. It is pretty rare to find a Unibody Motorhome. This is also an advantage for restoring old cars, that the body may be removed and this makes disassembling and cleaning up for restoration easier.
Seperate frame chassis may be stronger in specific directions, e.g. longitutinally, but is typically inferior in torsional stress. What this means is that typically a car with a seperate frame will be perceived as having inferior handling because the frame flexes more at the same weight, or the additional structural weight needed to make it equivalent makes it heavier and more sluggish acceleration.
older cars can be made more flexible in certain areas and less in others because they were so loose to begin with. This isn't the case with newer unibodies - you can't tailor the flexing points to the needs of the race, be it drag, circle, or autocross.
In terms of rigidity, the unibody is stronger. In actual strength of the automobile a frame is much better - trucks are a good example.
Can't wait to see the new paint! A lift must? must be nice!!!!!
Looks good ek
c'mon full shots please!
I like it sir, clean and simple.
BabyG! I LUV THE ROLLING SHOT!

Lol six years of engineering school and home ownership will turn you into a neat freak. Repainting the same color, took me a while to find one that color in a 5spd, plus its just my daily beater so its all about being low key. Might end up with a p8r b20 bolted to my spare gsr trans if I ever get the funds, but the coupe is in resto mode and takes precedence. I'll get some fresh pics up as soon as I can get to a booth (I'm a total diy guy if you didn't figure that out already)
Sup guys? Got a set of LS meshies put on the sedan. I like them a lot better. Seems to give it a more refined look, but maybe it's just me.

Lets see if these work:
My 99 SiR, and my new daily driver a 4 door 99 SE.
Mods for the 4 door:
DIY black housing headlights
Si style grill
OEM CTR CF gauge bezel
OEM CTR shift boot
Spoon black Duracon shift ****
Added a center armrest
Added a cluster with the tach
Have Suspension Techniques 2 " lowering springs( not installed yet)
Have a y8 header/ and cat and OEM SiR exhaust( not installed yet)
Plan on picking up front/rear urethane lips, fogs, window tint, and color match mirrors/moldings/skirts

the group n's were 15's as well. Thanks for the compliments guys. I've got a few pics on my other computer where I've been messing around with photoshop. I can't decide whether or not to paint them. I'll try to get the pics up this evening. The three color choices are gunmetal, gold, or original.

if those are you choices, gunmetal for sure not digging the straight gold. Bronze would be nice, ya ya they are almost the same, but I like the darker shades from bronze colors.

Re: ** The offical 96-00 civic 4dr thread ** PART 2
ok so i got a punch set for the bi*ch pin. i have one that goes through and the tapered part of the punch catches the pin. someone said that you should use a punch that the end of the punch ti self is the same size as the punch i was told that you should use the punch the same size because if you use a punch the that goes inside it wont work i figured the tapered part of the smaller punch would slide it out. so i should use larger one or the smaller one. hanks for all the help last step to pulling my motor. i just don't understand why honda didn't use the bolt for it.

if you use a razor blade to cut the double sided tape, the emblem can then be pulled off easily with your findgernails. flat head works but higher chance if emblem breaking and denting the car. heatgun will probably work, but with a heat gun, you will still need somethign to pry it without scratchng paint, cant use your hands cause itll be too hot
