I don't want to post pics yet, cause the engine bay is dirty right now, and I ordered some new clips from Acura for my bumper so it might be a couple of days till I finish all the little kinks. SOON

Judging by his avatar, you may be thinking of Red-CL.

Amir's avatar has a pic of Im assuming Red-CL with RIP 4-27-2005 on it. Red-CLs last post was 4-26-2005.

EDIT - Definitely Red-CL

https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/r-i-p-red-cl-funeral-details-within-email-kelly-pg-1-16-a-304999/

Its a bit late and I didnt know him, but

Double EDIT - I just got around to reading the thread. Red-CL had a heart attack at his office desk. Not sure who was killed in their CL.

typeR is wrong. He didn't die in a car crash, he had a heart attack.

When CT sent me the icebox, they forgot to send me a bolt for the bracket. I was so pissed I called them up and made them send me the bolt and pay for shipping as well

^ Yeah, I could have easily just used an extra bumper bolt I had, but I figured that since I payed 265 for the product, I should get every single part to it. ....I'm also OCD

I'm actually looking around for a 5spd volvo 240 to daily in. There too damn hard to find though. I'd like to talk more about it, but I have to go back and argue with you in the other thread because I just got a notification.

Unfortunatly, nooo. I don't want to be confused for an 80's soccer mom

My plans are to get the sedan, slam a surf rack on it, and be set. If I get bored of the 114hp motor, and have enough money saved up, I might just get a 120 shot for it to have some fun

What? You're not going to get a 335i? Just kidding man! I could not help it!

So do you feel any gains from the CT Icebox? What are your impressions? Or did you already post that? Guess I better go back and look now!

I would like to have a 2004-2007 Volvo V70R. I had one on a 24 hr test drive and I worked the shit out of that car. It was so nice with the MT.

But here is the Volvette. Ever seen it before? I'm sure Civic would love it!

There is no way I could do a mod and not drive it as soon as the install was done. Just would not happen.

I'm able to do it because I'm patient.





The other 99% is because of ocd

Clean. I popped my hood for the first time since my last oil change and two snow storms really took its toll. I need to get some degreaser and go to town on it.

Cleaning engines can actually be pretty easy. They don't take long to do....
