Man your CL is coming together...just got to get those parts installed now!

 

Yes sir! These headers are taking for ever though. I don't understand why it takes so long

 

Well, I decided that I am going to sell my Eibach rear camber kit. My car barely ever rubs anyway and I don't want to fuck up my new alignment, so I posted it in the black market for a very low price.

 

Blocks are all aluminum, the sleeves can be different materials though.

 

I weighed mine so I can give you an idea. My stock acura lug nuts with locks were 2.196 lbs. My kics with locks are 1.146 lbs, so that saved me 1.05 lbs., so it actually can be more than ounces. Plus the kics have the rotating part so it dsn't damage wheels. You dont have to worry about them being weaker. I didnt buy to save the weight just an extra bonus.

Like civic said aluminum calipers is ideal, and 2 piece rotors with the aluminum hat. The disc is still made out of the same material as single piece.

As for putting on 17 lb rims and not noticing, that doesn't seem right. I thought it was pretty noticeable.

 

UPDATE:


After a 3-month backorder from CT, my Comptech Headers finally arrived!







I also just bought an air compressor, so over the next few days I will be installing these myself, I'm going to take my time though to make sure I do it right. I will update the thread once they are installed. I also might make a video

 

bling bling

 

i thought you all ready had a set.....



but yeah comptech can take a bit to ship/make part, it took like a good month just to get a f@cking replacement air filter (off their own website too)

 

UPDATE #2:


Ok, so I'm actually gonna have a shop do this. Those bolts are basically welded shut with rust

 

Yes sir

Nope, I had/still have it listed as "soon" in my signature

A month on an air filter? That's just crazy. It only took 3 weeks for my whole icebox to get here.

 

Nice. Damn those are some beautiful headers!

 

^ Thanks

 

 

you have a great lookin' rig man.

 

Thanks

 

It's official, cars at the shop getting it's new headers installed


Hope I feel a big difference....

 

f'ing :ginger: too worried about getting too dirty for civic... :shakehead

 

U will. I see u so excited in a few.

 

I am, can't wait!

 

Headers are in!

This thing pulls so much harder now

 

reset ecu you will notice even bigger difference

 

^ Thanks for reminding me. I was planning on doing that but forgot.

....Time to unplug the battery for an hour

 

Go hit the 1/8 track again.
Curious of your gains there. I'm sure you already have that on your mind too though.

 

Its about damn time.

 

Actually, I have twice that on my mind. My plan is to drive 3 hours to the autoclub speedway 1/4 mile track. The traction will be much better there and my goal is to get into the 8's for the 1/8 and high 13's for the quarter.

BUT, my car is ticking louder than usual and it's due for a service so I'm going to get my timing belt service done and have them install my underdrive pulley. THEN it's track time

After that I will periodically be running at that crappy 1/8th track by my house so we can compare it to last time when I just had exhaust.

 

why an hour, only like a minute should do it, and btw sometimes the best way is unplugging it at the ecu instead that way you never lose your radio presets...

 

I don't even know where that is

 

ummm...... up at the very front on top of the tunnel, (pull back the carpet on the passenger side below the glovebox)

 

Or even better! Passenger side fuse box, clock fuse #13 resets the ECU. Pull it for 20 seconds or so and your good.

 

This















































is what I will do

 

Oh I also forgot to mention this. After the headers got installed I did a pull from a dig and had insane torque steer. The whole car danced to the left side by about 3-4 feet lol. It was awesome

 

Update:


Taking the CL in tomorrow to Hoehn Acura to get my timing belt service done and underdrive pulley installed!

It will be done in time for me to race it in the 1/4 mile this weekend and get into the 13's

 

The CL is at the dealer right now and will be done by tomorrow. The total came out to $890

I just found out today that I will not be able to run at the 1/4 mile this weekend because I'm going to LA for my Grandpa's 90th birthday

 

Tell him to reschedule. There are more important things in life then a birthday. He shouldnt be so selfish.

 

especially when it's your 90th birthday

 

i am surprised that :ginger: has not crooked already



btw there should be some good street racing in LA, so NO EXCUSES

 

crooked?

 

keeled over (crok, might be better, shitty spelling)


btw :ginger: try this site: http://racefwd.com/







btw what the fuck is up with the ******, i was talking about the spice: ginger

 

^ Shut the hell up

 

as a side note, i only respond when people say FUCK
