her blanky haha

 

ITR winters, nice! You're taking out the recaros too? Maybe I should take out my bucket and throw in the oem si seat. I would take out the Spoons if I were you. They are really exposed to the snow so it wouldn't be a bad idea. You would just have to bleed the brakes really, its not that bad.

 

I wish I just had spoons and a bucket to decide whether to take out.

 

You got that right!!!! I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't drive my hatch year around.

 

lol yeah.

 

updates of my year around in ny, redoing the wheels in gunmatal tonite

 

Looking good man, i just bought another hatch today bone stock haha

 

yah i took them out last year for the winter...just debating if i want to do it again since i have RBF600 fluid in there...hahaha

buddy, you have a sick car AND an AP2! me is jealousy

damn it...no winter modes = no rust too....must be nice

 

I just read a few pages back. Man I miss this thread and being on h-t in general. Glad to see a lot of committed members progress with their builds.

 

^+1. It's my dd, so no other alternative.
My 1st Winter mods for me were steelies + General Altimax Arctic (cheap and good reviews). Some black tar spray for the rear inner fenders to protect from salt & rust and we'll see what happens!! Not sure if there's a point in getting the recaro's out other than snow getting them wet... just gonna have to be careful getting in!

1st time for a FL car. 1st winter for a FL driver...

Can't wait to drive in the snow though!!

 

yeah, i know. lol

thanks man

 

I was in FL this past week. You guys got some nice weather out there.

 

the bad thing is i cant think of any place where the weather is good all year around and theift isnt a big deal, i think i would rather have the winter in illinois and not have to worry if my car is going to be outside

 

Just get a place with a garage. There's even apts here that are like small townhouses with 1 car garages.

i know when i lived in phoenix, a garage wouldnt stop anyone, it just slowed them down a little

 

But now in SoIl you can park that heap anywhere!

 

Stop calling us "gay's" and we will help you

 

 

I got my car running again with the stock motor. The plugs looked like crap, so cleaned those up and re-installed them and here's the kicker- Apparently my timing belt had come loose so bad that it skipped a tooth and was flopping around against the timing cover and also making the tensioner pulley make crazy noises. Reset the belt position on the cam gear, re-tensioned the belt according to the Haynes manual and it's not making any noise and running just fine. I'm hoping in the next couple months I can change out the valve seals and it will be running like a champ. SOHC 4 LIFE

 

^ YEAH!

My current d15b7 blows though.. no power at all. I feel like I'd be content with a d16z6, as it has vtec and it's probably a little faster (enough for me, at least).

And plus, my motor right now leaks like crazy. I'm not sure if I should try and replace the gaskets that are leaking and save it for a little longer, or just pickup a z6/d15b and swap that in

 

My car is just quick enough to not be completely boring, but not quick enough to get me in trouble. It corners well, brakes well and is fun to drive and look at sitting in the garage, so that's fine with me for now.

 

Heck yeah man, I love that d15 in your car, shows that you don't need a B or K to be one of the best. Glad you got it running again, such a good feeling I bet.

 

Being one of the best has little to do with whether or not you have a B, H or K. (Speaking from experience.)

Might not need it but it sure is helpful lol.

 

Sometimes power does compensate for skill. Personally, I'd rather have skill than power. I can buy power.
