yeah but this is a performance build and if he's doing everything else, I highly doubt he'd keep something stock just because it "isn't bad" ya know?

 

Word. It just makes me wonder if it's worth it. I guess the cooler you are the better regardless of anything else.

I'm just saying that because a "performance" build doesn't necessarily mean EVERY component is getting upgraded. Ignition system? etc.

 

heres a fun fact: the core of our radiator is aluminum already, so why replace?

but, im keeping it till next year when i have to go with a half sized radiator with the turbo build...

 

if plans would have worked out, the entire car would have been finished

aka NO JOB ANYMORE lol... but its all good... as long as theres SOME progress, then imma happy camper...

 

No, they were denso

Know the feeling, had I not bought a house, my car would be by now

At least I have a job to pay the mortgage, sorry to hear you don't have a job kumar, you still dj'ing?

 

yea still djing.. that got us going for now... so lets see...

 

why not use a full sized?
didnt anyone tell you the most important thing for a healthy engine is lub with viscosity and low heat especialy on a turbo build. and believe me you can custom your piping to fit around a full sized radiator

 

dude you have no idea. im still waiting for my break. i should say i broke my ass making it good for the people and now they keep me waiting for the job. no yes nor a no. if it happens the car is happening in no time even though im already convinced i need to do it because i need something to get around. you know what i need is the confirmation that i have the new job. take a month or two break before i start it and spend the time on the car and car only. it would be the best vacation i could ever ask for...

 

i feel you on that arber... i guess its the way the economy is now... everyone wants to make decisions, but with greater care... hopefully shit works out...

 

believe me... the meeting deciding my fate was postponed today... till when you ask? probably next eternity...

 

sorry to hear about your job man. but your car is coming along nice!

 

Get new suspension yet??

 

lol no not yet... but soon

 

fixed

 

i love when people throw these comments about me taking so long. it amuses me.

the truth is, no one has the balls to do what im doing. and to those who knows, they can vouch for me.

period.

 

Amen to that, I feel the exact same way, kumar, we've been modding CL's years before most of the members had their CL's

And most people don't know the directions we've been or are going

 

or no money.

 

you and kumar have been doing this longer than some of these guys younger than me were shittin mustard in their diapers.

 

make it 6. once i start giving a damn about my car.

 

wrd. that was the 1st thing i bought. then H23A manual tensioner conversion.

i could have sworn i questioned why you kept your stock mounts.

 

I mean I know I'm old, but damn

 

update:

ive managed to source a shop that could wrap interior with oem materials!!!!!!

so my rear seats and door leather inserts will match the 350z black carbon material... HOLLAAAAA!!!

 

keep us updated with the abs conversion.

 

U are the man... oh kumar, on a side note, I found a shop to do the other work you were trying to help me with

 

nicee chris... that should be fun!

as far as the abs conversion is concerned, we removed all the harness for now (still operational but no abs, who cares thats the whole point lol)... i have to get my hands on a non abs booster, master cylinder and lines... doesnt sound hard you say? well it is LOL

 

God your interior is going to be sex.

 

Damn Bro! Thats freakin' sweet. Props to the shop and you of course

 

its not hard if the motor is out of the car. me and my friends did one on a Integra over the winter. parts should be easy to considering CD Accord LX's are a dime a dozen at the junkyard/

 

idk, for some reason I simply didn't put that down on my things to splurge on when my mechanic told me the stock mounts fit fine. silly me.

 

update:

1. supertech valves springs/retainers
2. skunk2 pro series cam gears
3. golden eagle fuel rail
4. NGK wires
5. Plugs
6....
