PMed about the Heater Control. The hood is Fiber Images. No webbing on the bottom. Should be for sale soon.

 

 

I just found I have a little situation

For you guys using aftermarket exhaust systems

I need to get the gasket that goes in the rear where the muffler meets the mid pipe.

number 23 in the picture



But it has it listed as 45mm
I know my piping is bigger then stock
Does it matter what mm the gasket is??
I never even know there was a gasket there until the Ref told me I had an exhaust leak and I realized that my muffler doesn't fuly connect to my mid pipe and figured out that is where is coming from.

 

We had a local bike night at Hooters. Some friends egged me to take the Vespa out and hard park it. I was a scared dude rolling up on a scooter amongst a turbocharged harley and lots of other bikes.

Anyone know where I can find HF rear drum hats and good brake shoes? Or should I quit being lame and find a rear disk setup?

 

Find a rear disk!

 

i wouldn't bother

 

Jolly the whip looks good.

And I would find some rear disks.

 

James, IIRC, the gasket is a hard donut similar to the one on the stock exhaust manifold DP. What you need is a gasket for your particular muffler/piping. A muffler shop should have something you can use. You only want the Honda one if for some reason you used your stock connectors and weleded the Mugen muffler and piping to that.

 

GOTCHA

 

Thanks man!!

 

LOL I passed on some rear disks and bought the rollbar instead. I've yet to install it. Don't quite yet want to ditch my rear speakers.

 

I think crutchfield makes rear floor speaker setups. I know they make front ones for the hatch

 

Anyone have experience mounting those Aero latches on and EF hood? I wanted to find out how hard/easy it is and best placement for clearance.

 

Got my rollbar today! Now i need to powercoat or paint it and then the installation fun begins. Gonna keep rear interior. On a good note my car is all one piece for now

 

for the ef's?

 

HOLY ****


Have fun with that

 

lol i know its gonna be fun. And now i gotta change the gold stripe on my mouldings so no one thinks i copied you

 

(WHORING my favorite pics of my car ever, copied from my build thread)

chris rules at pics (j-specCB4 from honda-tech). hes starting to shoot for magazines, does it for a living, and for some reason has wanted to shoot my car for a while (got the head thats on it from his old engine, maybe thats why)

lol













for those who dont know, 1/2 hour before these shots were taken , i had just ran the car as hard as i could for 2 days at ITR expo @ autobahn. got the ITR calipers/10.2 rotors setup on the second day (lots of grinding to fit behind those ghetto-cheap 15's) , and mounted the cobalt XP3 pads that i won in the raffle at the banquet after the first day of expo... MAN what brakes. unbelievable.

we just dusted it off (didnt clean the wheels or anything really) ,and chris did his work. he said lighting was tough, but obviously, hes the man, and made it work . nothing like BLAZING sun and using multiple flashes! haha

suspension worked AMAZING. corner weighted it to a 48/52 (with me in the car) side-side balance (car weighs 2150-ish right now too, with weight to lose still), and near 50-50 side balance with a passenger. really happy with the car now. the F23/22 head RULED, made amazing torque , and took the 2 days with glee (oil temps were a bit high though, but they were 30 minute sessions. )

the quaife/trans were perfect, amazing, and lovely.

the swaybar (front only) kept the car SO flat. no rear, dont want it/dont need it

the front tires ruled (255 Yokohama JDM only slicks that tallkyle got somewhere). holy crap grip

the rear tires ruled (225 Hooser Rs304s i had laying around, stuffed miraculously onto 13'' stock EF steelies-took my brother-in-law mikey and myself 2 hours to get on without hurting the tires) . back end was NOT squirelly at all, car just floated/drifted with perfect controllability.

man....this build is FINALLY worth it now.

 

chris takes awesome pics, i met him in atl at IA last months, real cool guy

 

Always loved your car! Used to follow your build on ef-honda.

 

yeah, i've known chris for a few years now...super nice dude. he and nellz were hanging out all day both days at autobahn...


i plan to run the car even harder at WMHM9..but we'll see what we can all do about it. its kinda becoming a "time-attack" kinda car. haha

now its time to run 10s though. if that happens...that'll make this the best year of my life

 

Hell yeah dude! Good luck w/ your goals!!

 

pic looks like crap

 

VERY unique car. I like!
