hoping in 2 weeks. towing it to my tuner saturday so he can finish the exhaust and then put it on the rollers

 

Oak tree is so cool. When I was there the worker was leaning over hard. First session I was real loose/hot through there. Almost lost it, drifted through it a bit. Had a nice save, etc. Next lap she gave me a thumbs up, leaning far over, and I thought I was going to take her arm off. Weirded out

 

You should have high fived her lol

So i sold my cage. Gonna look into a custom weld in

 

Cool,

So brakes are bleed, when releasing pressure my rears lines dont "**** out" much fluid. It seems there is a little bit of air left in there. The pedal feels solid 1/3 way down, its been a while, is the pedal supposed to feel rock at first? I also adjusted the booster so the pedal engages as soon as its pressed.

Any hints on how to get them to be their best?

 

Long clear hoses off each bleeder, running up as high as you can.

Open all bleeders.

Slowly push over and over. Don't bottom out. Bad for seals on master.

Air goes up, fluid.stays down.

THE way to do it well and super fast.

 

Nice job! You said the car wasn't a daily driver right?


Edit: Damn, thats a good method. I'll have to try that ^^

 

Wastes way less fluid, and you can do it yourself

 

Justin did you get all new brakes? When i did my brakes i had to bed everything proper then i got a pretty solid pedal.

 

THE TEAM ND I TOOK A CRUISE DOWN P.C.H HAD A DOPE TIME TIME ..HAD SOME GREAT WEATHER

 

Question- If you had access to a boat load of 88-91 Civics and CRX's "DX to Si" which parts would you pull off of them that might be rare/hard to find items. Need the list asap

Some I can think of

Floor mats
Hatch deck lid
CRX interior parts
CRX rear discs
?

 

Barn yard find? Lol

Hatch rear speaker pods
Mud flaps
Fogs
Power windows
Arm rest
Center console

Hell anything that is in good condition i would take off. Ef parts are starting to get rare

 

You can say that.....

 

people are starting to get stupid with their pricing also...$50 for used oem corner lights. really!?

I'm one of those people that have a wish list but are content with being completely stock…minus the engine of course. I'd try and get everything you can, no matter how minor…grab whole cars if you can and put them in storage units lol

 

Can I come help CWB!?!

Give us more info, but whatever is in good condition Im sure would be worth it...Were turning into true Dinosaurs!



Great method, Sticky'd in my brain!

 

Yeah evrythings getting harder to find

Id gra whole cars if possible

 

Story-

Guy who did my paint work passed away while back in a car accident. He was racing "legal". He raced CRX's/Civics. He had a ton of cars for spare parts and also stock piled a bunch of stuff. Bad news is he wasnt organized. A friend of his is trying to sell the parts/cars since his wife will be moving. This could be interesting. And he will have oem + racing parts. 2 of the race cars are for sale, to bad I didnt have any extra room

 

Fuuuuuuuuuu

Id love some blue floor mats

 

Hey who knows, someone could have already ripped into the place. Ill see if anything worth while

 

That's the way I did mine last time and it works amazingly! Super stiff pedal and took half the time it normally does.

 

Thats tough, always hard when its someone you lost. Maybe if you can, to help his family/friends.. post pics and help them get the parts into good homes. I couldnt imagine what someone would do if I passed on and left all my stuff the way it is now.. you guys would have to come over!!

 

I told my wife to bury me with all my car stuff

 

Hahaa.. only way its going down!

Hope this is cool with Nick.. was watching some WEKFEST coverage videos and finally saw a clip with his rex in it... its looking fresh! and I think he may have come home with an award!! well have to wait for him to chime in.. but for now..
Crap cell video.. but scroll to 3:43... the music hits just right when you see it!

Well, an update - when last we left off my car had a 'mystery' leak - it was either oil or tranny fluid. My car was about 2 qts low on oil but it looked like the tranny fluid was leaking from the driver side axle where it meets the tranny getting on the cat and smoking up a bit.

Also my pass side brake caliper started to leak. Car had been sitting since 2006 originally so I figured the more I drove it some issues would present themselves.

Calipers, discs and pads replaced today - Autozone lifetime warranty on calipers and pads.

I drained the tranny into a pan and measured the fluid too see if it was low - nope - exact amount I put in, but was crazy dirty - so i changed it with a 1/3 honda tranny fluid and the rest Penzoil GM syncomesh tranny fluid.

Changed oil as well since my first oil change for the car was before I had it running and couldnt warm up the engine. So that oil was really dirty as well. Turns out the leak was oil pan gasket, so that is getting swapped today too.

I have to also change the shocks, the car came with NS race springs on tokico's and they are now very much blown - I plan to swap with Koni Sports.

Fun stuff reviving a car that has been sitting for sooo long.

 

Glad to see you bringing it back to life and it only needing some simple repairs!! ***** some pics!

 

Man, I don't even want to think about that. My family has no idea how much I've put into my EF. Only a few friends really know the value of what it's worth.

I once had a dream that I came home and they had sold off everything for stupidly cheap. I immediately woke up and checked to make sure it was all there. SCARY.

I got to see my finished exhaust though. Should be picking it up sometime this week.
