Re: Canadian Winters Suck! Plus Turbo stuff, and restoring

Wow that looks really good. Are you going to still DD after all this work?

No. It was great as a DD when I wasn't in rush hour traffic every morning, but with a stage 3 clutch, combined with gas being as expensive as it is, I will stick with my Integra to drive every day. Plus I love my Integra as a DD!

Oh and the Firebird is loud and annoying lol. I'm sure I'll take it to work once a week though and cruise around on weekends.

between these pictures and you and rob nagging at me to get the cartunning kit...I feel like Im being slowly pulled over to the darkside.

I got to admit...felt good to see some love for the 3.8s being present over at champion...you should've seen how excited rob got when he was talking to me about the kit, and I mentioned your car lol...

p.s why havent you gone with PA's drop spindles yet? start pulling some more weight off that beast...

You know I never even thought of it lol...I have qa1's up front so I wouldn't really need a "drop" spindle. I'm really happy with the way to stockers came out. I will add it to the list of future things lol. Turbo is the way to go :p Silly N/A cars, or silly blower cars.

what was the problem with the paint? not mixed right? did it lay down like that? or did it get funky after sitting?

Re: Canadian Winters Suck! Plus Turbo stuff, and restoring

So I have been retardedly busy! G/F moved in, had a major water problem from the bathroom and some other stuff, plus I'm back in school so ughhh!!!

The project has stalled not stopped:

Motor is in :)

Re: Canadian Winters Suck! Plus Turbo stuff, and restoring

But I also blew the motor in my DD so yea that took some time away. DD also needs balljoints, tie rod ends, tires and a clutch :(

Had to do it all outside because Firebird is hogging garage! Sigh. Made it take like 2x longer not being able to work at night.

Out with the old!



in with the new!

That's a gsr right? My brother has a 98 gsr, pretty quick little car. You should swap that red valve cover back on, I hate how the heat peels the paint off those things.

Yea GSR, super fun little car. I'm going to pull the valve cover at work and sand blast it and paint it, just undecided on what colour/finish I'd like to do.

Pains me to do this but I am going to part the car out. See classifieds, doubt I am letting go of the turbo kit though.
