[Slo40]

Originally posted by AzN_ignite

more like ounces... no real weight difference, it just eliminates all the wiring in the doors and I don't have to mount those stupid window buttons in the door skins when I get around to making them.

[Tchleung]

Installed oil pan, intake manifold, TB, all that misc stuff, alternator as well. Mocked everything up on the motor to start running oil/water lines now.

[RRxtar]

Took off front reflectors, rear reflectors, rear signals, rear fender, and top/rear heat shield from the bike today. looks alot cleaner now. but i need an exhaust soon. :) completely forgot about the front signals. ill have to do them tomorrow.

[ColinK]

^ so your taking all the signals off your bike?

[RRxtar]

yep.

i might put some little stubblies back on at some point when i find some that i like

[Tchleung]

Mod of the day:

Removed old tranny. Inspected Flywheel and clutch and pressure plate. Everythnig is still mint!:D Clutch looks brand new. And that's gone through 2 NA engines, and 2 boosted engines. I lvoe Clutchmasters. Only a wimpy Stage 1 as well :D

Also tried to remove the crank pulley bolt with impact, no go, then by myself with assitance from moroso crank pulley holder, Didn't let go at all... although I think my back did... Need a stronger Impact...

[proshoraca]

man those honda crank pulley bolts are insanely tight, absolutely crazy. we just borrow a 3/4" impact and that pulls them off like nothing. sounds like your buildup is coming along quite well good to hear, i have no idea what it is but can only imagine will be pretty rediculous, right on!

mod of weekend put on tail-pipe, holy crap being able to hear yourself think when driving is good again. need to do coil and wires, then set timing to maximum able, then hit elite for some a:f runs, and am done.

[RRxtar]

I think they are on there at 250lbs

[Tchleung]

The manuals all call for 130ft.lbs But we all know, taht once something is that tight, it only gets tigheter after time... I'm thinknig of buying a 500 lbs impact. We got a dinky like 150 or something ridiculously weak... ANd yes the engien is comnig along slwoly but surely.. here's a sneak peak

[Tchleung]

Mod of the day:

Pulled the speedo ring gear/final drive gear/bearings off the old differential. And install them onto the new differential with new bearings. Man is that speedo gear flimsy or what :|

[Tchleung]

Mod of the day:

Reinstalled everything back into the tranny and bolted it back together. Just gotta install new throwout bearing and axle oil seals, but rpetty much all done :)

Edit: I screwed up and din't set the trhust shim tolerancs correct on the new differential so now I ahve to rip it all apart again after sealing it all up with hondabond... For fucks sake. Oh well atleast now it'll take me like, 30 mins tops haha.. :|:rolleyes:

[fourtirefire]

built a proper short ram intake, and got rid of that fugly stock airbox/tube. Swapped in a new fuel filter, it was well overdue too, as when i was draining the old one out, the fuel/dirt was so brown and chunky i'm surprised any fuel got through that thing at all. And last but not least painted all 3 wiper arms as the OEM paint had faded and flaked away to a silver ghetto look.

[girlcrazy_420]

Put the stock springs back in today and she looks like a damn truck. Re-routed the intake piping till I get the new intercooler hopefully this weekend.

ya actually, its not bad at all. i was kinda worried about that. but before i put the car on the road i went thru the engine bay and checked everything, took some stuff apart, etc. and it was all pretty mellow. mind u i do have some monkey ass arms.

and wow, it sounds crazy now with the wastegate dumping to atm.

[fourtirefire]

you'll get annoyed with that wastegate dump after awhile... I could hardly hear my turbo's intake side when i was dumping mine.

[g13b_destroyer]

Originally posted by fourtirefire

ah, maybe, but there is still crazy amounts of nice turbo noise. and the bov is still louder than any other noise this car makes

[Tchleung]

Mod of the day:

Ran and mocked up my water lines for my turbo. Can you say Earls :D Also cut my downpipe to make it fit better.

Hrm. just a buncha little things

[Tchleung]

Mod of the day:

Bolted tranny on and...

Rear mount bracket
Starter
Flywheel cover
Tranny braces

you gotta tell me how to adjust the dam tegs lights, i dont get thier system :mad:

[fourtirefire]

on the back side of the lamp assembly, there is an 8mm bolt in the middle of the two bulbs, turn that one for up/down movement. and there is another bolt close to the fender for right/left adjustment. Using the level, you want the bubble towards the front of the car for them to aim up, or the opposite for downwards.

[Slo40]

G3 headlights really suck until you put HID's in the low beams and re-adjust them. Installing HID's was the best headlight mod I ever did :buttrock:

[honduhman]

Just did a jdm d15b swap into a buddies EF for hornet class racing.

That kinda sucked.

[SaviorSelf_666]

Buddy Club Short Shifter installed

[ColinK]

^ yes sir!

my shifter still rattles cuz of that b & m short shifter...not too sure how I'm going to fix that yet...

[bmwwheelman]

probably need new bushings or something, sounds like something down there is loose ;)

notice any difference in your steering tightness with that strut tower bar?

[proshoraca]

modded a screw in to my tire, 2 in one week in same tire, and the another in different tire a month later, holy crap.

[ColinK]

Originally posted by bmwwheelman

your right, I do need bushings and sleeves..but b&m doesn't make any for that shifter, and the stock ones don't fit...trust me ;) haha

as far as the strut tower bar...a little more stiff for sure, but I'm still on winter tires and just put stuff back together on my car, so I havn't cornered real hard yet..

[fourtirefire]

Originally posted by ckrieg

try and find some brass aftermarket shifter bushings.. they are usually easily found on ebay.. i put them in my DSM and it stiffened up shifting quite a bit!

[ColinK]

^ hmm...you think that'll fix the rattling my shifter makes? Cuz i'm not really too sure what is hitting what that causes the rattle at high rpm

[fourtirefire]

oh... i'm not sure.. brass would cause it to give you even more feedback without the mushy stock rubber in there... maybe polyurethane is the way to go then, i'm sure energy suspension makes some for your car.

[Tchleung]

I used washers. lol

[ColinK]

^ on what? the shift linkage?

[Tchleung]

in between the shfiter and the linakge where the bolt goes through the shafts. the gapw as too wide so my bushings were rattlnig around till I shimmed it.

[ColinK]

really eh? hmm...I'll have to give that shot next time she's up on anthonys hoist haha

[Chandler]

new jdm oil, jdm oil filter, and jdm fuel filter today.

[Tchleung]

Mod of the day:

Water lines for turbo
Made downpipe extension and installed it along with downpipe
Radiator/fan
ES shifter busings
Steel short throw shifter
Skink2 shift knob

The new shfit knob wih the new shfiter is so heavy it's awesome. Alnog with new shfiter bushings, it feels so nice.

Edit:

Forgot to add:

Driver side lower ball joing
Driver side axle

[fourtirefire]

[Tchleung]

Holy shit where do you drive? hahaha

[honduhman]

JMO, but i'd bring those flares back to black, chin back to black. Some wide meats on your iroc wheels and then candy apple red those tails... wow i'd like it ALOT!

[proshoraca]

holy shit, what happens when you get a flat tire? that clearance, minuse a good inch or so of sidewall lacking..haha

[Wasteland]

DHD: I HATED the black plastic shit (gotta repaint them all again haha). I MIGHT try and crhome dip my extra air dam lol (there's a company around that can chrome ANYTHING...it'd be fuckin' pimp). And I like the all-red tails....but clears are so freaking rare...I'm pretty much the only S-truck around with them these days.

proshoraca: hahaha thankfully the truck is so light that if I get a flat I can just lift it enough to put a jack underneath (not kidding). It's too low to go on a jack, and I have to lift it by hand anyways....so I'm not too worried (famous last words lol).

[Dirt Rider]

Oh, and put some plates on it ;)

[down_hill_dog]

hood and 1 pieces check random pics

[ColinK]

^ what kinda hood did you get? Looks good! :) Mine should have been here by friday :(

[down_hill_dog]

thanks colin! I believe it's a VIS. it's a little older, and by no means perfect.. But it does the job I was looking for it to do.

[Dirt Rider]

installed new (to me) drivers headlight... old one was turning yellow and had at least and inch of water in it heh

[down_hill_dog]

Yesterday my car completely died on me in traffic. A little furious i had a suspicion as to what it was. The coil in the distributor died on my AGAIN. Being the second time in one year I ordered and installed an MSD SCI Blaster SS ignition kit. After it having failed the second time, there is no way i'd want to be in Vancouver and have this happen. No more internal coil bullshit. Hopefully the MSD unit proves to be reliable.

Today I also installed a non burnt out H4H bulb into my one piece headlights. Thanks Tom ! :p

[RRxtar]

^funny, as soon as i read your first sentence i thought "coil".

[down_hill_dog]

it's really retarded on how often it happen on these internal coil cars. It died on me on the way to work this morning AFTER the MSD unit.. But i think it was due to improper grounding on my part

[Tchleung]

On my more friendly daily driver, it's on the THRID dizzy now. On my car, it's on it's 5th I think. I went through 3 dizzies in a matter of months. all ranging form Coil to ignitor to completely seizing the bearings. This was with full ignition setups, or jsut external coil. or bone stock. I generalyl try to drive aronud with a worknig Dizzy and a 12mm wrench in the back seat, no joke.

it seems like they gave a re-design to the dizzy's on G3's because i don't hear it being as much of a common problem for them.. hopefully!

[RRxtar]

in 3 years of owning my teg i never had one go, but nearly everyone else i know has. at least once. jons teg it went twice with me in the car. once was the coil, once was the rotor.

[down_hill_dog]

Died on me on the way home from work again tonight.. I played side of the road mechanic and took off the distributor to install a new ignitor. After that it ran fine once again.

[jeffh]

ive never had an igniter go (knocks very firmly on wood desk) but i have replaced 2 caps and rotors and this is my second dizzy for other reasons

[Tchleung]

[proshoraca]

[Big Daddy]

Mods of the season:

Took front seats/dash/door panels out of my wrecked Van, put them in my good one.

Bought some Lino, cut to size, installed into cargo area of good van (still have to move one seat over from the other van, and bolt down the seat that's in there now).

Removed steering collumn cover/Ignition asembly from both vans, installed the good ignition into good van.

Popped a battery in good van, started it up :D. Took it for a quick scoot down my alley.

Just gotta clean things up a bit, do a little trouble shooting and she should be good to go.

Also painting the bottom flat black instead of ugly green...

[ColinK]

[Dirt Rider]

No, his whole wirring or setup was just finicky because he said Anthony couldn't get it to work either trying a diff way. Either way, I can't say I felt tooooo comfortable working with Emanage since in reality, it's quite primitive and well, for lack of word, sucks. All the features they add in it are somewaht useless, seems more like bells and whistles to me for what you're getting. I would ahve to take a look at the new Emanage Ultimate. See how that is.

[ColinK]

^ oh really? is that ever interesting! I always thought the emanage was pretty good (shows you how much I know about tuning and FI cars! :p)

[Tegra_Devil]

i got a bobble-hipped hula girl...she will be on my dash for the RS meet :P

[jeffh]

broke another clutch cable, this is getting kind of gay

[TDCRacing]

Degreased my engine the other night....and then after about 8-10 kms, it began the old water in the distributor and spark plug holes sputter. Once it started sounding like anthonys car, i pulled over and parked it for a bit. When i came back, It was running well enough to get to my shop so I could drop off the new tranny. Once there and idleing, as I'm reaching in the window to turn it off I hear POW and look up to see a thick cloud rising from under my hood. Upper rad hose blew, nice 4 inch split. Had her runnin with the new hose in 45 minutes.

For some reason Nathan that does not surprise me in anyway buddy!

So my parts that have been on order for way to long are now in Canada Yay!!! But they are classified in the heavy weight category so they need a forklift and a special truck to haul then. Ahhhh you would think that a shipping company would have a forklift.

[eviljeenyus]

I'm sorry, so your saying if it's in your window it's legal? Are you sure about that?

[Tchleung]

Yes window = Illegal

[honduhman]

Has to be at the most forward part of the bumper.

In the grill is illegal too. I got pulled over for having it bolted onto my grill in my WW bumper.

[proshoraca]

ya apparently 118bux or something for the window, "dangerous weapon if crash occurs" or some b.s. like that, so if its not correct, dont put it on at all i guess.

[jeffh]

[fourtirefire]

went to throw in some new goodies today...
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y294/dbouliane/teg/img003.jpg

but came across a slight issue on the last corner to swap... fucking lower strut mount bolt decided to snap off and sieze in the bushing....

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y294/dbouliane/teg/img007.jpg
the remnants of the sleeve and bolt
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y294/dbouliane/teg/img006.jpg

[fourtirefire]

so after lots of searching, i managed to round up a new bushing/sleeve/bolt that didn't require pressing in (i couldn't remove the arm from the car without mangling the outer bushing)
and got it all back together.

the thing rides like a go kart now, turn wheel, it turns....

oh, and the header is just starting to change colors!

[Tchleung]

balancing them was fairly easy luckily.. sticky weights own

[girlcrazy_420]

bolted up the intake, had the runners, plenumn, and tb ceramic coated..more to follow..

[oohh_baby69]

Started the Race car(rx7 with 302) today and took her for a quick spin up and down the road. The new 8 inch convertor stalls at 4,800 rpm, instead of 2,600 rpm. Put some new clutches in the tranny since they were slipping alot on the transbrake last year. That in combination with a 28x10.5 slicks and 4.88's instead of the 5.67's. I am still trying to get the wieght down, although last year the car wieghted 1910 lbs without driver, this year i would like to get it down to 1950 with driver. Should make for a wheelie popping low 11, high 10 second car.

illegal play, like how the nucks won tonight...haha

[girlcrazy_420]

Fun place for a oil filter! That a unorthadox underdrive pully? Looks very simular in design.

My mod: Alternator belt went on my road trip to Omak USA... Good thing I had a tool kit and a new belt in the trunk :D Nothing beats roadside repairs in the pouring rain, on the side of the highway with a dead battery... AND... the alt bracket fell off and I had to use zip ties to hold the alternator till I hit the next town.

[RRxtar]

Brembo rotors and PBR pads in the rear. 8L of oil and a Filter today.

[bmwwheelman]

Got all 5 windows in the back tinted to 20%, looks AMAZING

my H4 headlight housings came in the other day. Now i can finally get some decent lighting out of my truck. It came with some blue bulbs, which i thought would be heaty, but it turns out they are more white than blue.
$4.50 + shipping. horray for ebay!

you've already talked about it in like 4 different threads.




oil changed the RR

[girlcrazy_420]

Taking a board members suggestion seriously, I ended up doing quite the challenge today.

Removal of the engine, k-frame, skid plate, transfercase, rear driveshaft... Only thing left it so seperate the tranny from the block.

What a day... never again will I drop a engine out the bottom.

edit: Got the tranny seperated. Looks like a gear in the transmission broke loose and broke right through the casing, doing a bit of damage to the clutch coating everything in synthetic oil.

[SaviorSelf_666]

modified a Rx-7 to my drive way :o

[bmwwheelman]

yay! I'm gunna hump it okay?

FINALLY ordered my rear pads disc's and other crap i need *rolls eyes* i hate holidays!

if you are having trouble finding the super blue, you can easily get it from www.eunos.ca

[bmwwheelman]

[girlcrazy_420]

Modded a new car into the driveway today.

[fourtirefire]

swapped cams in two cars... got the first one running first try, mine not so good, felt like it was off a tooth on the crank gear, pulled it apart, lined everything up perfectly again... no dice, ran exactly the same as the first time.. and now here i am.. time for some sleep.....

[foxy_DA9]

one thing I thought of... Check your valve adjustment, if you have a valve or set of valves that are'nt closing all the way it will run the way it is!

[fourtirefire]

re-set cam-to crank timing.. that's perfect now, did a compression test.. 170 across the board, checked my valves, all are about the same lash... checked my distributor.. looks fine... reset ECU....

and it still runs like a piece of shit...

[down_hill_dog]

ouch that sucks, good thing i'm giving you a break of $100 on those badboys eh. If you need help tonight doing it.. i might be able to help as i have done those before!

[fourtirefire]

all done now!
thanks to the advice of slo40 shawn to set my valve lash according to the cam card.. DOH!

the exhaust cam takes 8thou and intake needs only 4 thou, where I had them all set at 4
