couple pics of my single v hatch

 

The hostess when i take my car to restaurants always looks at me like a retard when I ask "Can I sit by a north window please?".

 

Well bro your right ,single cams are good enough to enjoy .But the point people are making is ,if your commited to spend the money to make your car look like a jdm monster you might aswell throw a couple of bucks and at least throw a b16 or a b18 there it just completes the package if you know what i mean.But in the end of the day each person has their standards,so its all up 2 wat ur looking for in your car.

 

The car that started this whole debate is sitting on the ground, is automatic, gets daily driven, and attends car shows. Other than that it's no "JDM Monster".

My car was built on a budget of about $5,500 including the price of the car, wheels, paint,suspension, interior everything. To spend $3,000+ on just the engine didn't make sense to me. It runs fine, gets good gas mileage, looks good, drives good and overall makes me happy when I get behind the wheel. That's all that really matters to me at this point in my life. Someday it WILL get a swap, but I've owned it 6 years with a SOHC, so I'm in no hurry at all.

 

And like i said bro,its watever makes u happy,theres no debate here.

 

What's the consensus on the new Konig Roller? Is it **** in terms of quality? Is it too cheap of a 2pc knock off? I've been considering the RPF1 in 16"...but honestly, $1200 for new wheels/tires just makes me sad inside. The Roller seems to be a good alternative in terms of design and price.

my car is a jdm monster so it needs to be towed. not really but last year changed my outlook on towing too. i saw a couple cars go home on flatbeds and a few guys who were lucky enough to have trailers put their cars back on the trailer after their cars broke at the track.

first event i did this year was itr expo which was about 700 miles for me one way. besides having to drive that far in a car without hardly anything in the interior, bucket seat with head bolsters, and no muffler. i would have to unpack the whole car, swap pads/wheels, and set up camp etc. instead i towed it so i had to unload it then put the sideskirts and lip on then set up my ez up. plus i had the piece of mind that if something broke i could just roll it back up on the trailer.

 

That's why I trailer my car to the track. No matter how well a car is built. **** is bound to break when pushing your car to the limits.

 

exactly. obviously stuff can happen to the tow rig/trailer. but a buddy that caravaned down with us busted a brake line which another buddy had a spare. then at the track his distributor took a dump but luckily someone else had one. it cost him 200 though so our weekend expenses were about the same even with me towing almost 1500 miles with a v10 gas motor. lol.


went over that earlier. didnt work for me with an og s2 manifold. tried the bracket first, then the cable which didnt make anything much better. so i just drilled out the bracket and it works fine.

i used the whole one bolt method last year and yes it worked fine. but i didnt want to take the chance of being on track then the motor going "limp". you could just drill out the p30 and save the money.

 

Yup, one $400 tow bill and we all changed our outlook for track days.

 

so cleannnnn

 

Now with tyres. lol

 

It's alright. Just taking care of some loose ends before IA. My radiator sprung a massive leak and I have no idea where it's coming from. Besides that nothing really.

 

All in Fab radiator?



Just saw this posted on NWP. Good lord I loved this car back in the day.

 

@WhiteSlips, is your car Automatic?

 

No it's got a 5 speed trans.

Nice. Did you ever get that wheel bearing situation figured out?

 

Thanks man. It needs some lovin here and there, but I refuse to spend $300 on OEM carpet and another $200 on mats.....

 

I'd almost rather take it out and repaint my interior than to pay 500 for new carpet and mats. My carpet isn't in the greatest condition, My mats are in okay condition. But I too will not be dropping 500 on new ish. Not like i'm building a show car here
