there is NOTHING you cant do with one of those 8 dollar propane torches from home depot. the baby blue one. i have even stripped out 14mm headbolts, and use the torch to heat up a 13mm til it was glowing, put it over the 14 and let it cool, and off it comes.

 

Chad, Bart, B16CRXT, and Chemist thanks for the help! We can't do anything until tomorrow because I have to work a double here in Atlanta and my buddy has to work all day today at the airport. Oh well I guess.

 

yeah. it's that bad. i don't even know what that is on my bumper. the sucker sucks down oil a lot though.

 

i want ur car, andy donnan

 

^ That is bad

 

Boosted pm me. I pmd u about the ashtray and maybe about that trade

 

does it help you east coast guys to spray all the bolts you are going to be working with penetrating oil before wrenching on them? My crx was from washington and they don't use anything on the road besides sand...but as you know it rains there all the time... I alway just sprayed the bolts a few times the day before I was going to break them loose...

yea but you work on your car in like 3 week stages. ya know, like 2 months to put the springs on your mustang. like 3 weeks for a b16 into a rex ya know.

 

i think i'm the only one who hasn't had rust problems. i actually created rust for kicks if anyone remembers that certain hood i had...

omg and i had a girlfriend even w/that hood. maybe i'll do it again to the crx

 

i think its cool. i was going to pick up a si but it had tooo much rust.

anyway i have a jdm ef9 cluster thats mint. pm me if interested. i have no use for it

 

I use PB Blaster if I need it, but on my car, I don't need it anymore since I've turned every bolt on the damn thing now. None of them could possibly be seized now.

Do you have to remove the rear bumper to change the liscence plate bulbs? **** looks like a PITA. I was pulled over a while back cuz they said they couldnt see my plate. I was like both lights are on, I can't help that. It just lights dim. I think the plastic covers are just dingy/dirty from being 17 years old. Maybe some fresh bulbs would help brighten it up too...

yes... I forgot to hook the wires up when I reinstalled my bumper... drove around for weeks before I realized it...WSP was kind enough to let me know...

 

see its one thing for cops to let you know that your tag lights are out. but, its a whole other ballgame when they try to claim that you are trying to hide your liscense plate so they cant see it. this cop was being a expletiveing dick. Luckily his partner came up and shut him the expletive up for me. He was like why dont you have your tag lights on? I was like what are you talkin about? why would I not have them lit? I so sick of the bs around here. I didnt get **** from cops for 4 years until I put this damn built b18 in here. And it's always when I'm not dicking around or doing anything wrong....

They might have seen you when you were dicking around. Or they have had reports of your car.

I drive around w/ a Honda Dealer frame
no probs from the cops yet

 

I finally got my Si rear interior put in this weekend. It's probably been 3 years since I've had the interior in my car. I think it looks much better. Anybody care to post pics of their relocated batteries in a hatch? My battery box won't fit in the exact location, and I would prefer not destroy the carpeting or the cardboard that covers the spare tire. I'm planning to be able to carry a spare

 

anybody have any side moldings for an 88 civic? i put 88 doors on my 89dx. my doors have the moldings but the quarter panel and the fenders dont. pm me if you have some you wouldnt mind getting rid of.

not possible that day, and I dont dick around near any neighborhoods for people to report me. Especially in the town I was in. the cop was just sitting at a light and I had been obeying every law every created. It just seems that cops have nothing better to do than come after me when they are bored at a traffic light.

edit: funny story though. One night at about 11pm I was riding back home with my friend, because we had to go to my house in the next county to pick something up. On the way back There was a cop sitting in the median facing us. I was again, no doing anything stupid and was doing the speed limit. he turned his headlights on and got behind me with sirens and blue lights blaring. So, I pulled over at the next open area in the median (safer for both of us. some cops dont like when you do that but they can kiss my ***...I'm saving their lives.) So he comes up to the car and tells us that we matched the exact description (car and all) of a couple of robbers that held up a little cricket in Spartanburg. Except they were black. So, we started joking with them about how we aren't black etc. it was kinda funny, but also nerve racking.
