Offical eH squad list.
So, I happen to look at the PBIR calendar, just to double check. It says the karting track is closed until next Wednesday, yet the arrive and drive is still shown. I call down there and AMG has a driving school going on. Well, swell, kick me in the nuts and call me Claudio.

Nice info for sure. Is dish soap safe though?
What are you doing there?

if your trying to clean off wax then yes. if you dont want wax off then dont use dish soap. he wants to clay bar his car, it will make it easier in the sense that he wont also be going thru as much wax. theres nothing like a freshly clayed car. smooth as a piece of nice ***.
getting closer to completion




called the shop and they have yet to start working on my manifold
...so i told em to hold off....i may be going with something a bit sexier
here is the rough rendering i sent to a buddy who is going to be making me a sexy time rhmt style manifold...and i only took about 15 sec to draw this so its not all that great

Nice! A forward facing setup! I wanted to run a forward facing setup like that but I was going to have to get a new intercooler and change up a bunch of ish, I just stuck with the run-o-the-mill topmount.

jesse!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know what you mean sometimes, but after watching the movie love the beast the sedan has become my beast and i cant stop with it now.
well it just all kinda fell in place...it will be all mild steel and have shitty looking but hella strong welds so im good with it...also twin scroll so it should actually spool faster than my ramhorn 
i wanted a topmount originally but front mount is way more badass...lol
yeah im thinking of picking up and ebay intercooler its got a 18x12x3 core iirc, have it modded to a back door on the the passenger side and reweld the radiator tabs over 3" so all i will have is a 90* off the throttle body then strait down into the intercooler, and a new downpipe made up...
the best part is i should be able to sell off my current set-up to cover the entire cost

Got the first phase done on the CR-V last night. It rubs a little bit at almost full lock but once I fab up the spacers for the struts they will clear.
Im debating on either making a 2.25" spacer for the rear and a 2" spacer in the front OR getting the 35mm Ironman lift springs and then making a 1.5" strut spacer for the rear and a 1.25" strut spacer for the front.
The springs and the spacers together will give me a 2.75" overall lift. The reason I am not really wanting to just lift it using strut spacers is because the rig will have alot more body roll since the OEM springs have about 2 inches of sag.
Anywayz, here you go!

Holy off road tires, good for trips to the mall.
I am finally back from vacation, I needed more time. It was a blast, the little girl had a great time flying. My back resembles a lobster.
