[fourtirefire]

i was thinking that it would be nice to have one of these where when we do a mod or anything different to our cars each day.. post it up so that others can get ideas for thier own modding enjoyment
and it doesnt matter how little it is, anything different could be that one thing someone else was thinking about doing but just didn't know how or etc...

anyways.. i'll start this off..
my mod of the day ( ok it was yesterday!) hacking open my airbox, it improved a hell of alot of flow and damn.. it sounds oh so nice

oh as well, today i ordered some new front brake rotors for an 89 integra ;) big brake swap could be done tomorrow if they get shipped on time!

[TurboProbe]

A few days ago I repaired the mufflers on my bike for $10. I bought some fine steel wool and made a pad to cover the gaping rust holes, and then cut a section of aluminum ducting to wrap around it. A couple of hose clamps to tighten it up, and I've got a rust-proof fix that blends in with the chrome.

The sound of the bike went from :announce: to :coo:.

[SpooSports]

2 nights ago, i spent 6 hours with my buddy building a blingin custom amp rack and install for the trunk of the lude. took some creative work but looks absolutly sexy, i might snap some pics tomorrrow....its not done yet, still needs some side pieces but it looks fucken sexy....mike saw it.

[fourtirefire]

today i did the full 89 integra front brake swap on my car, calipers, some blue pads(anyone know who makes blue backing plate pads?) and some new bigger rotors, i'd say the pads are about 30% bigger than my stock ones at least
end result is much better braking... just need to let the pads wear into the rotors before i get optimum braking performance

[Dmanm]

Today I cleaned my ride with footlocker leather cleaner and did a small stitch on the rear left sole, no more dirt in shoes.

[351rusty]

i ripped my carpet outta the stang and started the mounting of the bimmer seats..

[g13b_destroyer]

beefy rear strut bar, beginning of my cage..

http://www.teamswift.net/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=1370

cut, hack, weld, grind, and you have yourself raised upper suspension mounts

http://www.teamswift.net/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=1368

coilovers installed in front (these wheels make me hate my life)

coilovers rear,

[Canadian Rider]

is that supposed to be a disc under all that rust??

[g13b_destroyer]

the shop leaks a little, moisture and metal = rust. its just on the surface. most cars have rusty rotors

[honduhman]

Mine are worse. Been parked since Sept. 4th.

[Canadian Rider]

ah ok.. i honestly didn't think brakes worked like that... mine has a tiny bit of rust around the outer edge (where the pad doesn't hit) and i was told i had to get it replaced (have new rotors in my garage) are you going to re-surface those?

and btw that's a sexy rear strut :)

[TurboProbe]

Who told you that a bit of rust on the outside was a good reason to replace rotors? :wtf:

The only reason to replace rotors is warping, grooving, excessive wear, or anything else that keeps it from being a big flat disc.

For proof that rust != bad, take a look at the rotors on the cars sitting at a dealership. Brand new rotors usually have a bit of rust on them already.

[Canadian Rider]

ok maybe it wasn't the rust being the reason they had to get replaced, though the mechanic never mentioned one besides the fact that he said they looked rusty and worn... i guess is should have payed more attention to the "Worn" part rather then the rust part :p

[Chandler]

wow g13b thats some unreal work. I've been working on a swift at school doing all sorts of suspension work but nothing quite as custom as a rear coiliver setup. that front crossmember that ties the control arm mounts together..... did u fabricate that? i guess thats called a lower strut bar?

[g13b_destroyer]

lower tie bar, it was made by a swiftracer (white swift with orange/blue stripes at knox) liam, i think he trolls around on here as 'MURR'... it actuall made the biggest difference when i put it on, i had an upper brace too, but i sold it casue it wouldnt have worked with my raised mounts.

[Shane(showtime)]

Hmm nice strut mounts,who was the guy that thought of that??? car looks you have bump travel cool.Get that thing on the road FAG

[fourtirefire]

my mods of the day today...
order k&n filter
put in sylvania siilverstar headlights (much better lighting!)
change fuel filters

[girlcrazy_4]

My mod was, Put one of those little blue halogen lights on the cart with a switch that lights up red, mounted on a clear red plastic panel rivited onto the steering columb. Zap strapped a dirty air filter on *keep out the rocks* and also re-welded and painted the front part of the cage.

[TurboProbe]

hey sure it does.. putting in an airfilter takes only seconds.., when it comes it'll be a mod officially i guess then

[Chandler]

new brake pads today and both rotors turned on the lathe

[kamloopscrusin]

went home after work and took out the stock 2 front seats and put in my recaros, damn do they feel good!!

[fourtirefire]

finally got my K&N today.. put her in.. makes a bit of a difference, and more of an air sucking noise when i'm on the throttle...

[Big Daddy]

I'm working on my supersecret project right now...and no, it's not the Turbo from my other thread, i've been taking pics as i go along, so when it's all finished I'll give you guys a peak. Except for the shit I can't do myself, it should, in theory, be done end of next week.

[Tchleung]

Took out anoyying boost controller, running onw astegate spring at 3.5psi. shimmed it to 5psi. knocknig it back to 7psi tomorrow. Ah the joys.

Wow, looking hot. Going all SPL eh!!!! Nice amp, I'd assume it't be RF, but what series is it? Did I see 0G wire on the ground in there? Think I also saw some expanding foam, dont you think it would be time to take out your rear seatbelts? I dont think they'll be doing any strapping in anytime soon;)

[honduhman]

Did a coolant flush.

It's flourescent again.

[Big Daddy]

Girlcrazy, that is 0 guage and that is expanding foam. Too much of a hassle to take the rear belts out so they'll be staying put.

edit: The amp is an RF Power 1000A2C, factory chrome :D

[SpooSports]

Og kicks ass, but its a whore to run.

I siliconed on my door seal today, kept comming off.

sorry for the bad pics but ground wires are to short to move the box back to get a good pic

[fourtirefire]

my mod of the day.. the Jackson Racing carb mod, which involves removing the mixture control needle springs out of each carb, cutting off a few of the coils, restretching them to length and reinstalling... gives it a bit more fuel to go with the increased intake airflow, and the butt-dyno says it was worth it

[SpooSports]

Yesterdays Mod....Spoon Parts

Todays Mod.... Finished a complete 4g ground kit in my car....thanks cody

[Big Daddy]

Tires finally came in today! Car is now roadworthy, especially since my buddy came over with his spray gun. Pics tomorrow if I have time between ball games.

[fourtirefire]

today's mod... finally put an exhaust system on the car.. the old one was literally falling off..

got a 2.25 dia flex joint, piping to a ractive muffler and tip at the back, sounds pretty deep surprisingly.. i was expecting more of a ricey gay sound

[Tchleung]

Mod of the day.. Took bumper off. and bumper support. Took Intercooler off along with pipping...

[ToyotaWolf]

Today's mod which actually will have taken about 5 days by the time i'm done including having reassembled the car interior is installing a new deck, funniest part was the wiring was the easiest part of the job it was getting at the old deck that was the bitch.

[AzN_ignite]

Tires!!!!

after you get that turbo installed, make sure your next mod of the day is a Hondata!

[fourtirefire]

mod of the day.. finally installing rear coilovers to go with the fronts.. its alot lower now.. but the ride quality is too bouncey... can't wait for new struts

[netfreak]

did this mod a few days ago... REMOVED HUBCAPS. damn those things were ghetto

[bmwwheelman]

Today i did a valve adjustment and reset the clearences of my rockers to valve tips back to factory spec, car runs alot smoother and quieter now!! I washed 'er too, but i realized i really despirately need a paint job cause it looks like shit!

[honduhman]

Put in Sylvania Silverstars, ordered a couple parts from various places.

Haven't driven at night yet, but the headlights look less blue than my old sylvania super platinam, but have a whole lot more glare. Almost like a superwhite but brighter.

[bmwwheelman]

honduhman arnt those the ones from canadian tire??? Correct me if im wrong...

[fourtirefire]

Originally posted by bmwwheelman
honduhman arnt those the ones from canadian tire??? Correct me if im wrong... yes they are.. pretty much a superwhite.. i'm running them aswell

[netfreak]

i run those as well. i'm missing parts of my headlight assembly so the lights shine in random directions and i get high beamed a lot

[SpooSports]

Worst Drunk carpet job on a sub box EVER.

[bluebomber85]

Originally posted by bmwwheelman

I got some from Canadian tire too, they do the job pretty well, mine are starting to yellow already though..

[honduhman]

Anyone who deals with sylvania deals with silverstars... seen em allover.

They are pretty bright overall, with a wider span.


I just hate how it gives my headlights the cat-eye look cuase the tip is dipped so far in (like jdm fogs on g2 jdm headlights).


I had the sylvania blue things at one point in time. And these are by far the best headlights i've used. (comparing to optilux superwhites, GE cool blue, every eurolite almost, and some other sylvania blue things)

[ToyotaWolf]

Ordered Rear Wing for my car today ouch at price and hopefully throw up a pic once its on unless it looks like ass or i ordered the wrong one and a pink WHALE TAIL shows up.

[SpooSports]

Yellow top and solenoid:)

[fourtirefire]

removed the factory pinstriping around the whole car.. looks a bit cleaner now

[AzN_ignite]

i got my new tire put on the day before

[AzN_ignite]

got my sturt tower brace in the mail today. the difference is not big but the car feels more responsive. gotta do more testing

[fourtirefire]

ran my fatty 2/O wire from the engine bay to the trunk.. battery is going back there as soon as i buy some bigass terminals for it

[fourtirefire]

bought a battery box today comes with straps and hold downs.. 20 bucks from crappy tire, and picked up some terminals for the 2/O

[fourtirefire]

mounted er all up and wired it all in, in my semi sober state.. turned out not bad either, wished i had a distribution block for up front tho

PM me. I have exzactly what you need for sale.

[netfreak]

todays mod: took the dremel to the hood and cut away more metal under the scoop to improve air flow... will be cutting one side of the scoop tomorrow to get rid of the odd slanted look

[netfreak]

was too lazy to cut the scoop so i worked on another mod: ran the power line for my radar detector behind the dash and hooked it up to my stereos power wiring. then I installed a switch to control it

[bmwwheelman]

My pilot bearings, throw out bearing and rear main seal came in, So friday the sport clutch goes in!!

I also ordered a BBS front spoiler for my car. Its gunna look dope once i get it on!!

Had to do another one last week as a different one shot out this time. You have to remember cody, sure he's running 11.8:1, But with numbers like 210 psi cylinder pressure, and when the shop that does my engine work says i'll be running around 11.5:1 and the head i'm using previously had 364,XXX km's on the clock it's time that those threads wear out, the excess pressure just helped them come right out. Anyways they are all done except for one now because i ran out of heli-coil inserts.

Mod of today: washed the car woot woot

[proshoraca]

i have 215psi cyl pressure....and 6 of them...and 317xxx kms...and have not blown a plug out...

[AzN_ignite]

i oredered my exedy organic clutch today

[Canadian Rider]

It shouldn't wear out... shouldn't happen.

They've probably been previously crossthreaded and helicoiled before.

[hampton]

mod of the day: took the lid off the airbox! sounds awesome! absolutely screams up at redline... VTEC and secondary engagement are very noticeable (esp secondaries). i'm putting it back on though cuz it's just too ricey, especially low-end at full throttle... makes it sound like i have a fart tip.

[jeffh]

new rims and rubber. dunno how to post pics so just pretend they look really sweet

[ToyotaWolf]

Pulled out the oldnew(no mistake in typing) starter today and popped in the newnew started and fired that puppy up and she sounded like pure sex mmmmmm. Also put in an LED Bar under the deck in my car and ripped off the black molding on the doors. Also temporarily mounted the spoiler. Oh and buffed up my rims so they actually shine and what not.

[ToyotaWolf]

Removes all the toyota emblage on my car today and then sleaned off all the double sided foam tape gunk and then bondo'd up all the holes

[jeffh]

new ram air intake. generic kind. sounds like sex when you hit vtec

[jeffh]

painted the valve cover a very sexy white

[jaques]

Put integra rad into my civic, now it will run nice and cool:coo:

[ToyotaWolf]

Turns out i'm going to be welding the holes over and the car will be going into the shop next saturday.

[fourtirefire]

cleaned out my airfilter... K&N should be going in sometime soon
replaced burnt out headlight, now have two working piaa hyperwhites... at least i think they are piaa?

[fourtirefire]

mods today....(and yesterday) threw in a K&N air filter, noticeably louder BOV sound, not really noticeable performance increase
put on new accessory belts... got the interior light door sensors cleaned up and working again, put a fuse inline for the 8awg wire running to my fuel pump

[girlcrazy_4]

Originally posted by onetirefire

why the hell would you run 8awg to a fuel pump? isnt factory like 16?

[fourtirefire]

factory is like 18 or something, and it's been proven that under high boost when lots of fuel is required the fuel pumps have been running at near 10 volts because of the puny wiring, the thicker wire keeps it right up there near 14 volts = more fuel

[NEUF]

mod of the day: painted my empty engine bay and underside of the hood flat black.. youo know what that means MORE HORSEPAWER

[proshoraca]

danny before going through all the work of rewiring your power just fun a fuel press. guage and see if thats actually the case....

[fourtirefire]

umm the fuel pump was rewired when i bought the car.. so no work for me, all i did was install a fuse for the cable so that if it does decide to short out, it won't start a fire

oh yeah mods of the day: washed car and waxed out some of the scratches in the hood with some mothers caranuba cleaner wax and some meguiars crystal stuff.. looks a bit better, just need to spend the time to do the whole car now..

oh yeah put in a manual boost controller, and running at 15 psi now :)

[Tchleung]

Originally posted by onetirefire

yeah 17psi was fun for a bit there ;)

*Vroooom* "OH GOD 17 psi!!" :p

[Saturn2nr]

How are the manual boost controllers? Just wondering 'cause I heard that they are prone to getting boost spike. Is it worth getting one or hould I stick with getting an EVC from greddy or something?

-Travis-

[Tchleung]

the EBC's are expensive if you wanna dish out money for them. when I was running the manual boost controller. mines was spiking but found out later on I hooekd it up wrong hahaha :|

[Saturn2nr]

Haha.. oh yeah. I might only have the cash to build the turbo kit 'cause pistons and what not are pretty friggin expensive for my car. I think I might just go with a electronic controller.. the Saturn motors can handle about 5psi max in stock form. the ring lands are kinda slim and pistons tend to "crush" if the boost is too much, so spiking would be a bad thing in my case. haha. if its able to hold 5psi steady it would be great my car would have no problems with that.

-Travis-

[SL Importz]

i ran around 8psi with my stock internals on my old car, the guy who bought it drove the fucking balls off of it on the test drive and she still held together. i was praying a rod didnt fly through my oil pan. my manual boost controller worked great didnt see any spikes.

[jaques]

Started my car................................it ran :D

[TurboProbe]

I ran 10 psi unintercooled periodically on my 10:1 compression Rabbit motor, and it still seems to work. Not sure how I got away with it. :D

Manual boost controllers aren't really any more likely to spike than an electronic, just make sure to minimize the "inertia" of the line to the wastegate: the less line and the less volume of air, the shorter the delay to wastegate response and the smaller the spike.


My mod of the day was reattaching my blown intercooler pipe. After 3 days of no boost, it feels pretty damn nice. :D

[fourtirefire]

my mod of the day was buying gas again, the last full tank only got me 348km, and that's a 50ish litre tank :mad:

[girlcrazy_4]

348km for $50... that seems pretty shitty. Mabye its time that you found out your highway milage!

[down_hill_dog]

that is alot of highway milage, he drives the highway to work and back every day...

[delSol97]

AWD Turbos suck for gas mileage...

[fourtirefire]

yep...that tank included a trip to penticton.. so lots of it was highway miles... whatever, from all the driving i did today the gauge didn't move.. it all depends if i hit boost or not

[Tchleung]

sr20canuck:

Liking that a lot.. What kind of turbo are you running?

[sr20canuck]

it's a Garrett T25/28 - stock turbo for the Bluebird engine.

I've read that it's good for up to 19 or 20 psi with good cooling and can put around 310ish hp.

GT30 turbo might get lined up next summer (rated to 550hp) but the wish-list is pretty long :D

-Kell

[Saturn2nr]

Nice setup man. Go with a T3/4 man. I should have my turbo done for next spring.. i was hopin to get her goin earlier this year but money ran a bit thin. haha.

-Travis-

[Dmanm]

sr20canuck: what car do you drive and what is your name i dont remember seeing you on the board before.. welcome.

[sr20canuck]

My name is Kelly and I'm an owner of a 1995 Nissan 200sx SE, in the late stages of a jdm SR20DET swap..

The swap's taken a long time (6 months and counting) b/c I'm having to convert from my stock 1.6L to a 2.0L setup (wiring harness(es), ecu, engine mounts, tranny, axles, rad, fuel pump, to name a few) :twirleye:

hoping to have it on the streets again in a week or two (if I can afford to get my license back lol)

Ok.. well this is derek, i was just making sure it was you because i have gone to gotchas with you before with kevin, clark and justin.

[bluebomber85]

Kelly, That's a beauty setup right there.. Can't wait to see pics of the finished swap.. How much boost do you plan on running?

[sr20canuck]

I'll probably keep it down around the stock 7 or 8 psi until I get the engine and clutch broken in (not to mention I have yet to decide on a boost controller..any suggestions?? I like apexi but wouldn't mind some input )

[fourtirefire]

[Average Al]

[fourtirefire]

[Mattster]

Rewired the fogs in the teg so there on without turning on the headlights.

[Mattster]

In a day or so will be an armrest and custom taurus cupholders.

[fourtirefire]

proshoraca and i removed the transfer case, tranny, exhaust, random other shit in the way..got off my flywheel in 3 hours, luckily the clutch disc was only worn thru to the rivets on the pressure plate side, so my flywheel was spared, get it machined tomorrow and thrower all back together tomorrow night

[down_hill_dog]

what kind of clutch did you purchase and for the extra couple bucks get it lightened a little while your at it

[honduhman]

Originally posted by down_hill_dog

I saw a pic one time of a 1ga with a stock lightened flywheel that went through the fire wall and the dash and made a big mess of the hood.

Not exactly the greatest for AWD, or a stock DSM fly.

[AzN_ignite]

Originally posted by down_hill_dog

[Saturn2nr]

Mod of the day....
bent hood, punctured bumper. its great of aerodynamics and cooling of the engine bay/air charge

-Travis-

[fourtirefire]

proceded to complete the installation of everything, fire up the car, put in the clutch... won't go in gear.. clutch is not disengaging...., need to rip everyfuckingthing out again and space out the clutch fork pivot mount to accomodate for a slightly thinner flywheel

[Big Daddy]

Picked up some 450CC DSM injectors...

[proshoraca]

picked up a very gangster Hurst Pro/Billet shifter action satisfaction today.

[fourtirefire]

drove my car...... finally!

[down_hill_dog]

I have 4 konigs on my car once again. Took the cracked wheel in tues. They dis mounted the tire, sent the wheel to Konig in Sacremento Calif, They sent a new one back and Fountain had the wheel mounted and balanced for saturday afternoon. Props to Konig and Fountain Tire on the westside for a speedy turn around. "Manufacturers defects"... lol

Today I re-painted my rear calipers, did some misc. cleaning. Re-painted the muffler black and added some antifreeze. I love having such high compression I can't keep headgaskets in the car. I love being able to accelerate up a hill the same speed at which I would on the flat.

just thinking here.. did you ever get your block machined as well as the head?, could be a cause for some leakage there if it isn't perfectly flat

[down_hill_dog]

was done before yes..... next spring if i end up keeping the car it is going to see a full turn around. I'm going to do a rebuild to just freshen her up, copper headgasket, cam it and thats all. Suspension wise i want to get come tokico blues for the front, cause my KYB's are getting worn out. After that some new tires, CV shafts, bushings and lets go racin
