I've been using royal purple for about 4 years and i have no "spinning of bearings" and I buy it from amazon and it comes out to 7.58 quart. I beat on the car hard too.

Here's a dirty pic after lowering some, but still in the process of lowering it, going to lower it more tomorrow when I fix some more stuff

 

took the yellow film off the jdm one piece headlights, now i need 2 lift it like 2-3 inches

 

headlights look so much better!

 

Looks good but why lowering it more, peer pressures out there in Cali getting to you?
It seems very hard to blow up a stock Honda motor, I tried with my LS back in the day and it wouldn't happen.

 

No pressure, I've always wanted it to be lower but I hated school parking lots and speed bumps and driveway entrances. I'm just going a tad bit lower to even everything out.

 

Nice! Those babies will come in handy for sure. Adjusting the dampening settings to your preference will take some time. Who care's of they won't be on for a while, you still got 'em

Looking much better dude!! It made such a difference taking off that yellow film. Cars looking real good.

 

oh yeah deffinatly! i would even say to take off the badge. i would try it and see if you like it.

 

heres a pic of the bay as of tonight before i wrapped it up. i just need a dizzy. im going to see if i can get one tomorrow and if not on monday evening before my weekly meet that i go to on monday nights. i just want to drive this thing soooo f**king bad!

 

Looks very nice!

FYI: You should move your ground wire one spot to the left. Where you have it mounted is not correct. That location is supposed to be used for a bracket which holds the throttle cable on RHD cars (it routes around the engine on RHD cars); it does NOT come into contact with one of the studs that would ground the cylinder head.

See:

 

I've learned something new today. thanks knowledge!

 

Yea that's a good idea. I have mine mounted off the back left stud and ran to the firewall.

 

Started the car up this weekend, just need to bleed cooling system and put some trans fluid in it and it should be on the road.
Got rid of the Works for some Slips, Slips look great on the car!

Was up in NJ for round 4 of Formula Drift, there to support JR and team Falken:

 

Oh nooo you already got rid of them. Well I bet the guy on the receiving end was happy. Pics of the new Slips?

 

Matt, do you have an LSD?

 

 

Slips for works... that guy made out like a bandit!

 

Yea he seemed to be, the deal worked out to be about even, so it was fair. I am and have been over having "Baller" wheels, think it's a waste. I've been tight with my finances since I'm looking to buy a house once I find what I want. So in order for me to put more into the car I need to sell things off it I don't really need.

Yes, I have an OBX lsd, I took it apart and re-torqued the bolts and everything. Works good enough for me!

 

LoL I actually balked last minute and got some more money, so it worked out for both parties.

 

Nice, I don't understand why OBX doesn't just torque them right from production lol. What transmission fluid do you use?

 

They also assemble them with the belleville washers stacked incorrectly which results in the clutches not loading like they should and premature failure.

 

thanks for the info. i will move it over tonight. i just got a new re-built dizzy today. that **** is expensive. but ide rather just have a brand new one and not have to worry about it anymore and know that its good.

 

I've been using the GM syncromesh with good results over the last few years.
Have carbon syncros too.

Ahh poo! Forgot you PM'd me man, sorry!!!!!!

 

Nice, how are the tires?

 

Two are pretty fresh and the other 2 are decent but I'm going to throw some radials on 2 anyway, so it wasn't a big deal.
I forget what tires they are, will have to remember to look again.
Car runs and drives fine, no leaks.
Changing oil and off to dyno, hopefully it'll be cool sometime so we can get it re-tuned.

 

i drove the car around the block for the first time. the car feels waaaaaaay tighter than the last car did prolly cause this one was never lowered in its life. car feels good but my clutch feels as tight as a virgin ***! i feel like im going to brake my cable. its an exedy organic clutch and exedy lightened flywheel. and it picks up way close to the floor. idk what is up with this thing.
