Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I though you guys would enjoy this
quote=Rywire]Here is my new engine bay guys!
I love how it turned out, the pix are totally crap, but it looks nice in person. "B"ack to the "B"asics!
Its a B18cr engine totally stock!
I am getting ready to build my ITR and I wanted something a bit more streetable. Hope you guys are ok with it, HAHAHAH
Sunny at Franklin autobody came through with a 2 day turnaround for the engine bay work, and paint!! WOW, Skunk2 super rush overnighted me some dress-up parts, all to get it done by Neisi...
The night before we left I cranked the engine after basically rebuilding the whole car, changed basically every aspect of the thing, rewired the entire car, exc.... It was insane, all in 4 days!
I was on no sleep... So it fired right up, ran ok, but at high rpms it was cutting out... No codes, no other driveability issues. I decided that was that, and hopped a ride down south. Came home from Neisi, and changed the plugs and fuel filter. She is running wonderfully! Kinda sad I couldnt get it to the show, but oh well... <br /><br />

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Well thats very interesting.... I don't really understand why you could do that. I don't think I will ever get that bored to change back.. hahah The motor, and trans could use a fresh coat of paint then it will make it look a lot better.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I was very confused by this at first! I have not even seen "Rywire" on the boards lately. Looks like he's got himself a dope streetcar now!
Guessing the K is going in the ITR... any build thread on his new toy?

I think he is swamped with harnesses. As of last month, he was on a three week backorder. Including shipping time, my turnaround was about a month. Oh, and apparently also swamped with building awesome cars.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I don't drive my car anymore
I still want to make a track car but I don't even think my current setup will make it out there.
I want to sell it and start all over again
But then I think I'm getting to old for this anymore because I hardly have time and my little girl is getting older.
I don't know what to do with myself anymore...

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
what would you guys think if you found a real nice car for a nice price but it had this in the description: "8 hours track time with instructor taught driving schools and track days"
is that enough to wear a car out? said vehicle hasn't been tracked in over 30k.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
8 hours of track time...at approximately 20 minutes per session at an average of 4 sessions per HPDE event would be about 6 HPDE events..so yeah...I wouldn't trip.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
The decision really wasn't a hard one for him. When he called me to run it by I said go for it. He got a killer deal on the R motor and his K20 ran great in the gray car....but when he built the green car, it never ran right. He had constant issues with the Kpro. I'm glad he did this so he can now track the car with me!
...and besides, his Integra is going to blow everyone away. Seriously...it is crazy.
