Picked up used 06-08 Civic Si wheels from across the border for my winter set, also got new Nitto Motivo tires for all-season/summer. Not sure whether I will powder coat the winter set black or keep them as-is.

I think I'm gonna do the last 5 threads next time I jack up the car next week. I might have to remove the perches from the rear since they are already all the way down.
What car is that in Lomac?

It's a 7g Accord Coupe. Photos of the height are in the Members Build forum.

Lowered my 4 door 96 Civic on ST 1.4 inch springs Saturday.

Adjusted the valves on the same car on Sunday.

Then said screw it all and went for a ride on my bike.

shredded more tires :fuuuuu: need to get fenders shaved next week :okay:

I thought I was just going to swap a cylinder head today (burned valve). The replacement was suuuper clean from what I remembered (still silver up top, not even oil stained) but I never bothered looking at the valve faces. When I went to clean the bottom of the head for the new gasket..... fuuuuuu .......massive amounts of carbon deposits. I mean enough to raise the compression ratio a fair bit. The head was rebuilt but came off a high mileage motor with worn rings, that was burning a lot of oil.

Anyways, a couple of hours later, all the valves were cleaned, both mating surfaces prepped, everything assembled and tuned, easy peasy, car runs good again.

Hmmm...no wonder it idled like a lawnmower


The top of the replacement head looked super clean, I didn't expect this


After a little cleaning


More cleaning and ready to go


The block came out clean enough

I use AutoGlym HD, and use Meguair's spray wax after every wash to keep it looking good :) Btw, AG HD is on sale @ Canadian tire for $38 if anyone is interested.

Went down to Ralph's and picked up actuator hatch electric mini motor and a master window switch, also took off the oh shit bar and placed the trim plugs into its place.

Have you used it yet Spugen?
If so, what are your thoughts? I need another hoist, but I'm tired of buying these things, bolting them in, then moving 2 years later.

Let me know, mkay.
:)


Also, I did this.

True. It was just for fun, I have to intention of making it a permanent fixture :p

I like something more subtle to be honest.

Akinari 08-07-2012 06:19 PM

Some Greddy systems can sound pretty terrible on certain applications. Fujitsubo on the other hand...

Well, at least from all the Fujitsubo systems I've seen and heard irl I've liked very much.
