New car

[dsettle13]

yes im changing the tail lights as soon as i get the head gasket replaced. coolant is full of oil...

Yeah I was thinking mostly white with alittle bit of either red or blue. I'm
16 and don't have a job so any progress will be slow.

what do you do for a job? Diligently put 20 +/- bucks a pay check into a savings account. It works REALLY well.

 

[dsettle13]

i dont have a job lol. planned on going to get applications tomorrow but gotta bring the car straight home so we can start working on it.

No s***

Call you a noob.

Easy there fellas...but I lol'd too when I read it

And speaking of white rims on a white coupe, I just saw the white coupe that is one of the banners at the top of the page. You could look at that to get an idea.

yeah looking at that definitly makes me want to go all white with little bit of red. red lip on the rim and red tow hook. maybe a red honda badge? ive seen a few people have that looks pretty good

[dsettle13]

if thats the type r badge then yes

 

[dsettle13]

Replacing the head gasket can I reuse the head bolts? And what's the torque settings

 

[dsettle13]

Painted the valve cover orange looks pretty good. I'll put pictures up tomorrow.

 

[dsettle13]

i need to clean it bad. replaced the head gasket and its still burning a s**t ton of oil and timing isn't quite right. any other things i can do to fix these problems? might just swap it with an ls motor i found for $900

 

[dsettle13]

should i take the spoiler off or keep it? cant really decide what to do

lose the wang


15" wheels unless you plan on doing a brake upgrade


do a compression and/or leak down test on the motor to find out where your oil loss is coming from.


if the motor is toast, find a good, reliable import shop to build you a nice ls/vtec for a couple grand and don't look back...

Spoiler is for sale on craigslist. If I get an offer I like it's coming off. Keeping the wheels till after winter then definitly getting something smaller. How much do type-r spoilers sell for? Not sure what to sell it for

 

[Billy.]

i hope you didnt list it as a "type r" spoiler... the type R was a hatchback. the spoiler for it was duck-bill shaped. i would start it at $50 obo

 

[dsettle13]

just listed as spoiler. and is it called itr spoiler? seen them on alot of tegs

 

[dsettle13]

Found a guy with si wheels with brand new tires, selling the spoiler for 150, and trading my carbon fiber tail lights for a stock set. What do you guys think?

 

[dsettle13]

si wheels are on, pics tomorrow if anyone is interested?

 

[Stickyittoyou]

PICS YOH! lol

 

[dsettle13]
