My 1,200 Mile Road Trip to Install Spoon Goodies and Visit H-T Members (56k Killer)(Long)
My 1,200 Mile Road Trip to Install Spoon Goodies and Visit H-T Members (56k Killer)(Long)
I planned this trip for quite sometime and decided to go up to Norcal to visit some friends of mine including 2 honda-tech members and a few suprises happened along the way.
Only a few more hundred miles to go....
m00000!
I had to snap this pic
Peace at last..
After 6 hours on the road I finally got to fellow h-t member, John's house. His family and him were kind enough to let me have a place to stay for 2 nights. Thank you and your family very much John.
John and I planned to install his spoon header, spoon rotors, and endless NA-M pads the next day.
Woke up "early" and after 3 trips to OSH, we finally had all the right nuts and bolts for the header install.
It has begun...11:18AM
OSH...so so familiar that day.
Jacking up the front
We couldn't wait to get the POS USDM DC header out of there
Fugging bolt is the wrong size!
2:39PM We are done! After 3 trips to OSH and getting everything we needed the Sp00m header was officially on the car
So nice
Spoon's 2.5" Collector
Ghetto gloves 0wnz us
We took a break and went to the local Applebee's where we waited TOO long for our food and starved
Good food but too busy/bad service.
Part 2 of the Spoon Goodie install:
Stopped by Autozone to get a bleeder kit so we could bleed the brakes.
Picked up some of these goodies!
Powered by Coastal Oil
Dubz foh lyfe~
John looking at the straight JDM goodness to be found at autozone
The install went pretty smooth except the pads/calipers were sticking to the rotors after the install so we had to do everything over again. We took out the na-m pads and the problem was solved but there goes the responsive braking. We were way tired but still went out for a drive after at 4AM in the boonies. Twas fun
SPOON ****** unite!
:Droool:
Finished at 4AM
Part 3 of Road Trip:
I 0wned them all! mwuahaha
That's got to hurt...
Ditto
I went on my way to visit Disorder(Darrin) because his exhaust tip was just to pretty to pass up As a bonus I also met dLo(Ryan).
T1R Color Changing madness! (ver 1.0
)
Somebody wants a sponsorship...
JDM & Spoon ***** wannabes all over the place!
$2.51 For 91 octane 0wnz me
Conclusion:
It was a great trip meeting everyone and working on the car all saturday. Thanks to the Escobar family for such great hospitality. Socal boba 0wnz j00 too!
Miles Traveled: 1,2xx
Gas Money Spent: $7x.xx
Money Spent on Food: $4x.xx
Most unfortunate thing that happened: Missed the freeway exit and ended up in Sacramento
Hope someone actually reads this because it took me forever to post it
