Hey guys, I just got a fix it ticket for my yonaka exhaust. Its been on for 3 years and I never had a problem. Should I wait until court date to contest it. I assume the cop thought I was going to a race meet, but I had my mom in the car.

Edit: I will just go get it tested at a ref center and show certificate.

Hi, im having temperature issues, just when the engine is at idle, it does no overheat but i can see the temp gauge going a little up just right before the middle od the gauge, and i have been noticed that ones radiator fan kicks on it works for more than 25 seconds wich i feel like a lot of time, how long is your radiator fan working once it turns on?

Thanks guys. I definitely agree, I'm the first person to say that if it's not hard to do it's probably not worth doing. That first day was nuts though. By Sunday I was feeling a lot better, and the race went off without a hitch. Working with the Indy cars is pretty freaking awesome, and having an opportunity to build a relationship with the teams and drivers is huge.

Today is my day off and I'm catching up on life, then off to Barber at the crack of dawn on Thursday!

finally got the IC in waiting on some parts to finish<br/>

My civic ek sedan 96

Civicprototype - did you have to do any trimming to fit that IC?
I'm putting parts together for a turbo setup and I have a HUGE FMIC that I think I would have to hack the bumper up to fit it.

Would much rather sell it or trade it for something a twinge smaller that doesnt require a bunch of modification...

civicprototype

KPDSM,

I just bought an EMUSA turbo kit. the IC i just mounted to the top of my bumper behind the Metal guard, I had Foglights that i had to remove though. but it worked out nicely. I can take some photos When i get my turbo installed.

Hey guys. I thing really new with my whip. Just ordered another set of wheels though lol but I'm kinda in a dilemma. I've been wanting to get window visors but I'm not really wanting to pay $250+ for brand new ones. Are buying the oem ones used even worth my time when it's still $140+ ish?

Or does anyone have any recommendations for ebay or others? I've been looking at wellvisors but Idk if anyone has them on here.

Bently_Coop

^ hmotorsonline.com has them for $150. They are pretty good to deal with and the parts are always clean.

Added a center console ash tray last week and also set the ignition timing with a light. The little D16Y7 has more powah now.



This week I will be replacing the RUCA's, ordered some Beck Arnley's off rockauto.com Made in Taiwan, probably same factory as skunk2, blox, hardrace and whatever other brand comes from there.

X2 for hmotors. Thats where I got mine from. The problem with buying used ones is they might be missing hardware/clips and they are almost impossible to find.

texasboioo7

Appreciate it. 👍🏽Yea I know where they came stock, but finding an Integra SJ around where I'm at isn't the easiest.

KPDSM

That would be great - I'll probably spring for a kit as well...thanks.

same ol' civic

Any other picks of your car with the skirts painted? Preferably a side profile shot. But i'll take whatever. Thanks

Finally got to drive the sedan around a little for its first time in California over the last day and a half, and that's it. I'm off to Indy tomorrow for most of the month, so it will be chilling at the shop safe and sound

Whats up 4dr thread peeps???

It's been a long time, my whack stock '99 Y7 LX with V2 intake, exedy racing clutch and light weight flywheel in a JDM EX tranny is kickin it, fun to drive etc.
It also is also on green integra nuespeed lowering springs w/ orange konis, for a little background, budget performance!! Front brake rotors are drilled and slotted, now I ordered these from an after market guy who said they were anodized, but they weren't, they were inexpensive and they looked cool before the rust came. The only good thing about them is the seem to have an antilock effect on braking, my ride didn't come with ABS

Paint is no bueno etc.

Any who, I live in California, I'm starting to research swaps and keep hearing a lot about JDM engines not getting bar'd or reffed for various reasons!!

So my question is this to any of you out there in 4dr heaven who might know, does the smog ref look at the serial number of the engine to get the year? Or does he/she look at the generation of engine model?

Thanks in advance to any answers and respect to the FD thread!!!

orville99

for instance, if I was going to put a b18 off a 98 GSR in my 99 civic..would they know the year of the GSR? Or would they look at that engine and say 'good' since the same engine was used through 01? Thanks

orville99

Wow, lonely up in this thread,

What do you guys think of this for a paint scheme idea? Has anyone ever seen this before? It would be fat fives powder coated white w/ machine face on 'ek' sedan

Check out the colors on this hatch. Would white wheels be too loud on a daily driver sedan?

I really like championship white but my current color is too dark, basically my paint job sucks so it needs one regardless, my current color is metallic grey like BMW color, but I really like the greys that Audi has been coming out with. I'm over metallics and flakes, not that paint really matters, it's what's inside that counts!!

I'm thinking Audi Avatar (light) Grey, with white powder coated machine faced wheels

I guess it's Aviator Grey
