Bump. That was a decent update lol

good deal! valve adjustments are fairly easy to do, just get a set of feeler gauges and some good lube

Yeah, I might, but he's offered to do it, so I may just take him up on that and help him do it. It's so awesome to know my car's in good shape. I've never had a professional look at any of my cars.

don't let him do everything... have him teach you. you've got an incredible opportunity to learn here

That's what I mean, him guide me along the process. I don't want to let someone just have at my car and me not have a clue what's going on by any means.

In other news I restored my headlights
I'll post pics in the morning, they came out pretty good.

Got payed today
But after insurance, gas, and groceries I've got about 135 left. That's gotta last me 2 weeks, so I can't get the short shifter now :/ MIGHT get the intake, but only because the air filter in this thing is shot. Minimum wage jobs suck, but what can you do? May be able to pick up some side work or take off some scrap metal or something. Time will tell. So for now I'm just gonna do little DIY's here and there.

Next paycheck picking these up.

PM'd JayJay and he confirmed that the 1988-2000 is the same application as my 1993 del sol.

Yeah the bushings and shifter are gonna fit, it's just del Sol shift linkage that is different than the civic's

Not low enough mann

 

[anfrey]

much better!! that knob height looks good to me. the short shifter will minimize travel down to wrist flicks
