where on 680? i dont remember seeing your hatch.... unless you were in your g35 then i wouldnt know it was you lmao. or unless you where that black rsx that got behind me then floored it to get in front lol. or that green gsr 4dr with a girl that kept looking over at me while i was behind O_O should honk next time lol

the ep3 seats sit hella high! thats like the 3 third time ive taken it on the highway! still not registered though. but i did go to the dmv.

Indeed it was the green fodo gsr with the wife next to me...cause when i saw u. i told her i hated you cause u got a hatch with a swap hahaha. berryessa going onto 680 south.

oh and i just wanna stick with a D...save the sohc man....save'em! and also on craigslist..they arent always cheap. ive loooked around for a week so far and alot of them want at least 200 for just a y8 head. honestly with 200bucks i can get myself a B16 or B18 vtec head instead.

dont get the LS! d series for gas or the b-vtec series for fun! the b18b isnt much improvement over the d16y8 in my civic. sucked more gas is all. Looked cool for a while too.

since when do ls suck gas? ... my integra ls got 32 mpg doing 80 with the a/c on ... and if i had it off and did 55 - 60 that bumped up to 37 CONSISTENT ... best ever was 41

and the torque kills any D i dont care what it is ... on clear days i was going up to tahoe 5th gear all the way

im guessing you needed a tune up or had a cel on

i got 29 mpg on mixed highway/city probably 80/20 doing about 65-70 cruise control. that was after fresh plugs, wires, cap, rotor. Civic got like 34+ constantly lol.

DAMN!

 

[Sammo115]

How much do you think I can sell a set of OEM 97 Prelude rims for?

 

[Kensai]

The 5 spoke ones? $200-250 depending on the condition would be my guess...

 

[Sammo115]

3 are okay and 1 has semi bad curbage [ still holds air ] think i can get it sold for about 150?

 

[Noodler]

i dont even know what they look like lol

o sammo http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/1421350713.html

 

[Sammo115]

thats a good deal. but i dont have that amount of money right now. barely have 600 saved hahaha.

sold my sir bumpers yesterday. im sad. very sad.

anyone looking for 96-00 hatch mud guards? i got a set

 

[flora]

why'd you sell em? what are you saving for?

Anyone interested in meeting up in November? I made a post a couple of weeks ago...?

Getting kinda lame in here. We were doing so well a year ago.

Anyone doing anything fun for Halloween? I have two friends whose birthdays are on Halloween. Fun celebrations.

I need new shocks/springs. Thinking about getting coilovers...but money is tight. what to do, what to do. Also thinking about getting new rims (but keeping my current ones). Matt has a set he thinks I should put on my car....I don't remember which ones though. rotas?

gunmental maybe? black?

 

[Sammo115]

Lame? Indeed , maybe its because no one gets on here often enough to discuss of getting anything together. only person on here enough is ....ME, Kensai...in a blue moon Son. and of coures there goes. You or Matt, D , Eric and so forth.

and as for what im saving for? nothing. just wanting to complete my turbo build.

sold the bumpers why? cause i needed mulah to fix an issue with my car burning coolant.

 

[Noodler]

bah! the si ecu picked up a cel! i think its the o2 sensor since im failing smog in one section. The CEL came on a little while after I failed smog lol. High HC levels, 16 over, during the 15mph test. Everything passes during the 25mph though. I replaced the plugs which were pretty corroded. CEL went away for a bit after the plugs got changed, then it came back on lol.

So on my 96 civic i just got some new 16 inch wheels, +33 offset, 205/45/16 tires. Car is lowered like 1.5 inches.

When i take a turn faster or go over a sped bump a bit faster, the front tires rub on what seems plastic in the front, so I am guessing it is just the fender lining.

So what can I do to fix this?

 

[Kensai]

Take the fender liners out and roll the fenders or get different wheels, with higher offset (38-42)...

 

[Noodler]

probably just your liner. thats why you need stiffer shocks
