Very nice...

 

wires are tucked... couldnt take pics with dirty hands lol... today is bushing day... yayyy. sike

 

what are you doin with your old intake manifold off the f?

pm me dogg

 

We already discussed that since he decided to get the same motor as me. The conclusion is that he'd lose. But he'd look wayyyyy better than me doing it lol. I ran Shaun's CL last night too btw Kumar, after picking up my muffler.

 

i MIGHT part out the old motor (or whats left of it) if someone has a f motor on its way out, this motor would be idea for you. but i rather sell the motor as 1 piece...

As far as it comes to me and infamous racing, boo hoo... id loose.. for now

 

did you get rid of your F tranny or did you kee it?
wana swap since ur ass is too scured for a lil extra air in that hole

 

lol all four of us should run after im done

 

make that 5 of us once i get up and running proper again lol

 

make that 5 when i'm ready.

 

Arber: im using it rite now.

 

wana swap for closer gear ratios?

 

nice dude another h23a. Infamous did have a point about the torque. Nice work man. Did you do the install? If not how much is labor looking like? My mechanic quoted me 300.

 

You got quoted 300 for a motor swap?

 

to drop the motor yes. you mechanic does not know of the work involved in doing the swap

 

well maybe just the motor not tranny. But yeah he has an old buick roadster hooked up he knows his shit

 

the work he is going to do will take longer than a day
that means $300 is too little for more than 8 hours worth of work
he might know how to do it but i doubt he knows how much work there is involving a H swap

 

really? wow so any one spill the beans as to what expect for labor

 

Nice progress. I had trouble with my HASport mounts as well.

 

blazin whats good man... i figured out the problem with the mounts... so is all good... which car are you using the mounts on?

wine: for labor costs/estimates, ask infamous...im guessing its $800+, there is alot of work involved. and $300 for the swap, no way your getting that motor in. I didnt do the labor, my wife's brother owns a shop so he took care of it.. thats where my car is at for the past year or so.. it was suppose to come out boosted, but the plans got pushed back for next year.

arber: ill keep you posted on the tranny situation...since next year im also going turbo

 

I have them in my Civic and thought I was given the wrong drivers side mount. Figured out that since they were so stiff, it just made it really hard to twist the motor for the holes to line up.

Which set did you get? I have the Race Mounts and they shake the hell out of my car. Everything rattles, but the car feels solid at wide open throttle.

 

RACE? wtf... thats like crazy stiff... lemme guess you was boosted rite? i got the street.. next year ill swap the inserts to race when i go turbo...

 

No turbo? Man, guess I'll have to wait for arber

 

Nice progress man. Can't wait to see it after this summer.

 

well.. almost a month later... the wheels are not being made anymore! like WTF

 

 

they were mad quick to put the money back into my account LOL..

btw: it was the axis widetrack 120mm lip rear, 90mm lip front

 

Axis

 

damn that woulda looked sick! what could be an equivalent that you could get? what offset were the wheels?

 

offset was 20... fuck axis... FUCK YOU AXIS, I HATE YOU.

im moving on to volk or works... if your gonna do something, do it rite or shut your trap.

they do have 5x100 lug pattern in stock, but i dont feel like taking on another headache... im looking to go 5x114.3

 

damn those wheels are pretty sick. but there are a lot of really awesome wheels out there in that price range. what are u thinkin now?

yeah man get some works. vs-xx = SEX on your car. as long as you go nuts on the fitment

 

whats the lowest offset we can go on our cars? For stock/rolled fenders that is, not widebody.

 

Well i dont really see there being an exact number. It all really matters how much work your willing to do to make them fit. Also the width, suspension, and tire size can all make a difference when your working with MM's of clearance.

but from what research ive done, i think its about +28 F, and +20 rear. thats a rough guess.

for instance flip is hairs away from clearing with 18x9 et7.

I really thought about going with a slight higher offset, like 30, and trying to get a 10 in wheel in the back.

 

yea for me offsets dont really matter, since im cutting my fenders and getting custom flares...

but yea, i got a price on the vs-xx.. 2600 without tires.. theres a couple of companies im looking at, DPE (my original choice), IForge, Works/Volks

 

holla... just got back from the shop...









Upcoming tasks:

Battery Relocation
5 Lug conversion
Bye bye ABS
ahm its 5:30am, so thats all i can think of rite now lol

oh yea, im redoing my engine bay...

 

it sits in there pretty nicely, lookin good bro

 

Nice, I can't wait to see you getting closer to finished.

 

Do you have a high performance radiator? If so what brand?

 

Rad looks stock doesn't it?

 

that's a stock rad, I'm sure that will change

 

Our stock rads aren't bad though from my understanding they're all aluminum. Acura used KOYO rads stock in our cars IIRC.
