are those seats from 99-00 civic?
hahah thanks they arent from the 99-00 civic, theyre actually DA integra seats. . DC or DA. i forget which but from an integra nonetheless

Are those the bolts you sent me for the skunk2 arms? that replace the allen head bolts? I still have them, taped up right next to the arms waiting to go on.. They have a blue-ish tint to them, always reminds me where I got em' from! Thanks again and again for those!

Good Jolly! My car say like that for some time.. Are you going with a bath tub clean shaven? Only downside I found to my bay afterwards was that all the hard time consuming meticulous work I put in.. black paint didn't show it off. Good luck with it....

Never been to IA, but enough EF'ers get down and Im always game for a road trip.

Yeah pretty much going for a seamless look in the bay, along with a brake line tuck and a new fuel set up. I'm going to be ordering a lot of parts thanks to my tax check so I'll be posting as soon as I get them... You should come to IA though, not too many ef's at the show, the more the better!

He gave me some too! I bought a box of small washers to put under the bolts if anyone needs 8 of those too.

what type of clutches are you guys using? I'm gonna make around 220whp, and i have an oem replacement in there now. So i'm wondering what you guys think would be a good upgrade if i need one.

i spent the day wrenching on an EF...

first, i made a battery mount for my new optima. took about 8 minutes. i cant wait to use an optima. i've wanted an optima battery ever since they came out!

then...




we have a bit of an oddball project going here, and its almost done. we have a bit of wiring to finish (FULL custom harness), and the fuel cell mount is almost done (the fuel "cell" is a symetical double-basin old stainless steel kitchen sink cut in half, welded together, and made into a 0$ cell). we have to run it, tune it, and then take it apart for a complete 200$ paint job, then it needs to go and win the Grassroots Motorsports 2011$ challenge. here are a couple pics from months ago.



this car is nearing mechanical completion, has a fully built (with used parts ) turbo D, apexi turbo setup, valvetrain/cam from crower (used , used, used, old)

we're shooting for 270 whp...these turbo setups, somehow, are known to be able to do 300 WHP..its not as small as it looks. i mgiht build a different manifold though, that stock Apexi one blows. tuned with crome, . the suspension consist of used konis if we can find them. currently its rolling on a mix-match of stuff. it will roll on cast-off hoosier a6s. complete budget is under 2000$. luke has been collecting parts for this car for years. you cant build a car for this cheap and do it quickly



Exhaust for turbo is done


What is that driveshaft doing there?


Rear diff mounted:


Rear subframe mounted:



Trailing arms!




Positve camber! (fixed...not positive anymore)


please dont post pics anywhere else...[/QUOTE]

yeah, its a great place to wrench...its not that big, but its huge for EFs.. its behind my parents house (used to be where my dad and i worked out glass company out of). my little brother used to work full time out of it after that (put in the lift, tools, etc), fixing/fabricating/etc on cars, now its a bit more open and not filled with his work, as he was convinced to work full time as a designer/maintenance/fabricator of piping/plumbing/mechanical stuff at a buddies company.

the drivetrain is wagovan stuff, yeah. luke got wagovan stuff for free (rusty/wrecked parts wagon)
