I thought you were trying to sell the wagon...no?

A friend and I spent a couple hours last night trying to figure out why my car won't start. We ended up taking the timing belt cover off and found that the belt is very loose. We'll be spending most of tonight trying to fix that.

I was...then it started smoking like a chimney. My buddy sold it to me with some fried rings. Not sure if he knew since the motor was only put together a month before I bought it. I replaced the rings and all is well now...BUT, I just got another promotion yesterday which will require me to commute a lot more. I'll be selling the Wagovan just as soon as snowboarding season is over (about may). $2500 will take her home.

Going to start looking for 94-01 GSR's in April. I'll take a 2 or 4 door. I thought about buying a used Civic Hybrid or Natural Gas Civic, but not sure about issues down the road and price. I really, really want a new truck this year so I need to buy something newer, but still cheap (around 5-7 grand)

It's just the window seals on the Wagovan. They're old. They don't leak when the rack is off, but when it's on, it creates just enough gap in the seal that they leak

For some reason Ive always wanted a 4door maroon GSR.. with some bronze rims.


Im flying out to San Diego at the end of February and will be there for about a week or two. (25th to the 7th). I was wondering if any of the Cali guys knew of any shows/meets going on around that time..? Hoping to make it up to the San Fran WekFEST. not sure how far it is from SD though.

Haha. I like when people think LA and SF are right next to each other (not saying you're thinking this, just pointing out that it's funny). SD to SF would be about 7-8 hours. Do it if you can!

Yeah, I think a lot of people underestimate the size of California! I knew SF was far... thats a trip! Maybe my buddy out there will want to go North and go boarding and I can stop off at the show. WEkfest worth a road trip of that nature? The line-up and location look pretty official.

My vote is yes. I've been to this event every year. I actually like it better than Eibach. Thankfully I got a spot with a 'crew' so I'm set. ****...I even won an award in '08

Hahaha

^^^[drools] I love girls.

So by looking at the picture of the skunk 2 cam gear is cam gears for b18 and d16 the same? I have some adjustable cam gears...sized them up with my stock d16 gear and it looked much smaller.
