Nice shots! Looks cold! Will you be going to "Honda Day" at Atco on Sunday?

I have had the chance to see this car a couple times in person.. its just as clean as it looks. You dont see many EF's especially in that condition in the NY/NJ areas. This one has been a staple at Englishtown Raceway for me. always disappointed when its not in attendance b/c it usually means there is no EF's than!

Yeah, that LIFE thing is a real hobby killer! haha
Definetly get a baby seat! Im pretty sure Ive seen Jeff Evans and his Wife rolling around with there baby, rockin' some ear protection of course. I love seeing GOOD dads with there kids at the track. Its the dads scolding there kids/cursing/smoking that gets to me!

I may save the funds of the trip and throw them towards my car.

Nice seat BLU, dang kid would grow out of it before you finish paying it off though!

fender rolling=hard, but not impossible


we bought an Eastwood roller, its REALLY nice, lots of adjustability.

get a moderately powerful heat gun, and just keep it going slowly, back and forth (the roller), and dont over-heat the paint.

i need to roll mine even more. BOO. fitting the 225's under the rear fenders isnt that easy...they kinda rub the RTAs on turns (slight rubber buildup on them after a day), and they still are barely clearing the fenders.


its not that tough though.

Only reason I'm not turbo right now is because I was always tightening or checking something back when I was. Which honestly wouldn't be a big issue now that the car isnt a daily...hmmmm

yah im just busting *****. Although you would have to have alot of patience with a turbo setup and the problems it COULD come with. Ive seen alot of my friends pull their hair out with turbo.

On another note im having a very hard time deciding what coilovers to go with, anyone got recommendations, or got a setup for sale?

that's the truth

i've had my D2's since '08 and have had no problems. if you're going for a custom dampening you can get some blown koni yellows for cheap and have them rebuilt with some GC springs

was considering those, but heard they have questionable ride quality which makes sense since its not a try full coilover.
