Lugging the engine? Motor mounts are stiff.

I've been driving this for a while now. Pretty depressed winter is coming. I'm going to have to put her in storage

So I decided to do something easy. I have these custom made 8 or 9 mm spacers made, so I figured I'd put them on the rear. Front already has them.



Of course using my new lift...





Ended up with one less lug nut, as one of the studs started spinning. I ordered all new ARP studs. I was using the race land ones that came with the spacers.

Here is the exhaust clearance pictures as promised. The black exhaust paint is coming off in some places, but here is the pictures.

Is your shift linkage touching? How many miles do you have on it now since the rebuild? Good to see it getting used.

No the linkage isn't actually touching. There is a good 1/4 inch clearance .

It has enough miles, that I need all new tires already

Put the ARP studs on the LR where the one was spinning. Will do rest over the weekend.

Just messing. I can't stand pumpkin beer myself. I buy a variety pack of shandy ales and pumpkin is in there, I give it away to whoever will drink it.

Lift looks good, I'm picking one up in the next 2-3 years. Pretty excited actually. Down here (Florida) I am just breaking my hatch out for the winter. Way too hot in the summer to drive without AC. I feel bad for the guys who live where it snows. I've been ripping around town for a few weeks already. 8500 rpm sounds so good.

I just realized I want to be Whited when I grow up. LOL

I'm a huge Del Sol fanboy. I think I like them almost as much as CRXs.

Are you renting that garage, or did you purchase?

How much are you paying?

I freakin love it and am so envious!!

Found out last night, it was the woman bartender. She came outside and we started talking about our cars. Kind of turned me on.

It's the hunt for the AWD Honda in good condition that is hard.

BTW if those are your cars, you want to ease the license plate numbers.

Patience & good luck are the key. It also helps to be somewhere where the roads aren't salted and the air is dry. I'm up to 3 now, 2 '88s and a '91.

Thanks for that. Being a simple and trusting soul, I forget how evil and devious people can be.

Better safe than sorry. Assume the worst and hope to be pleasantly surprised. Sad, but it is a good defense.
