Hey what's up BNB? I have been on vaca for a couple days and i was catching up on the thread
No new updates other than the drilled and slotted rotor upgrade I did to my ride
braking is sooo much smoother now.

Hi guys!
I bought my stock DelSol Motegi 2years ago, not much (only interior, and some body) have left stock
The main chagnes:
Stage one: swap D16Y8 into B18C4 (from UK areodeck); oem OBDII to OBDI P28; whole new intake (K&N) and exhaust (4-1, 2,5")
Stage two: new suspension Buddy Club N+ spec.; strut bars; break hybrid Prelude/Rover (front 282)
Stage three: body changes (wheels, hood, spoiler, etc...)
Before:

Synchronizers need some friction to perform correctly and keep from wear, synthetic oil greatly reduces friction, too much for trannys.
People have had great success with honda mtf and GM synchromesh

you don't want full synthetic oil in your manual transmission, Honda used to recommend regular motor oil, but that's before the Honda manual transmission oil came out. The synchronizers need a specific amount of friction to work properly, either the Honda fluid or GM syncromesh work great. A lot of people have fixed difficult engagement problems with changing the fluid.

i've been under the dash in a strange positition trying to figure out a bracket for my ignition relays using factory holes, not easy doing all this stuff when you are 6 -1 and it's a tiny car, my wiring harness looks like it exploded, but I live for this ****, most people would look at it like WTF? but I know every wire and circuit in this car. it looks like behind the instrument panel on a twin engine aircraft during an avionics overhaul. I've always had the ability to build and remember super complex harnesses and motor control stuff, some people paint, some play music, I design stuff that gives the average person a migraine

I know this. i just have a couple of bolts loosely holding it in, my entire interior is out, the way this car is built it's easier for me to contort myself from the side through the door opening,it's almost impossible for me to do it in any other position, I also have some complex mechanical stuff I built bolted to the floor under the seat with nice sharp edges, not fun to lie across

two hours of upside down to make this stupid template, and bolt it in, but now I know just a little bit trimmed at the lower and upper corner, and when I copy it into steel everything will clear properly. they are buried WAY up under my dash under the cowl above the pedals, and will hold my ignition relays, really fun to get to
when i saw the first couple pictures i was like "his sidemarkers are hella low wth" then i saw under the hood and i was like "fucc the sidemarkers"
and who gives a **** about a sticker

does no one like flat black anymore? I used to have a different color but when you polish the aluminum parts it really sets off the flat, I have some anodized purple, but mainly as an accent
