cant wait to see or hear about em

 

^^^ thanks bro.....

btw honestly i would love to run with ya....just like a 50-110 or some like that...

 

after ofcourse a little more weight loss and the ECU....dont mind losing but dont wanna be humiliated

 

I honestly baby my car. Sometimes on onramps I get on it a bit. Don't hate me, but I have never hit 100mph with this car.
Would like to auto x in Independence this year though, not saying that I would hit near 100mph, but would like to learn more about the car and what it might be capable of. Get your car going and get others on this site to go as well. By then I'll have 0 posts still ;-)

 

^^^ in that case i wont force ya just want to see how my car stands in general.....

and yeah auto X and import faceoff in Wichita are the 2 things in my list for April....def wanna see what this car is capable of....

 

Yeah Robbie, Check out Car talk forum. Lots of cool threads hardly anything about acuras. Im sure there is even an "unofficial" EVO thread that you can whore your car in.

 

Why don't we all meet up this weekend? I'd like to see this guys car you all have been talking about, and get some pics of everyones cars! Especially Matt's...that thing looks amazing I couldn't get enough of it at KC Trends. And it would be nice to get some sweet group shots of the cars. TL CL TL shot would be awesome...assuming Anil brings his out!

 

^^^ I more week Ty....I will be bringing her out...just started a new job at Sprint so no more international travel....I am hoping to order couple things this weekend and install em next weekend....so within 2-3 weeks i should be up and running

hoping my ECU comes in by then

 

Guys, I leave for a trade show on Sunday. I'll be back next Friday, so I'm out of the loop for this weekend.

But, Anil-my new tail lights are due to arrive tomorrow! We'll have to have an install party at my house on April 22nd (Sunday).

 

^^^ sounds good....i should have my car running by then

 

Next weekend works for me.

 

^^^

will have her up and running dont expect any/many new mods....they are still on their way

 

I'ma hold you to that bud!

 

Guess what came in today?




Anil and I are getting together at my house on Sunday, April 22nd. We are installing these tails, change brake pads and paint calipers. Free beer and pizza for everyone that comes to help!

 

Looks good can't wait to see them on your car.

 

What time and where do you live? I might be able to make it by for a bit. Interested in seeing whats involved in a brake job before I do mine.

Red calipers I assume? Did you get the G2 kit? We have them in stock at my work I think like $35 plus tax, but no shipping. Let me know and I can get you one and you can pay me when I deliver on the 22nd or before if you want to come pick it up.

 

^^^ What is the G2 kit? Swoosh and I went up to Advance Auto and bought hi intensity caliper paint and pads for the Brembos.

And yes, we're going with red!

I figured we'd probably start around 11:30 or 12 noon.

 

^^^

we did that together....along with the brake pads....got you the deal

 

OMG Steven those are gonna look sooooo good. Can't wait to see em.

 

Steve those look good man. They look a hell of a lot better than mine came out. Did Bruce do yours? I am getting ones similar to that from USR for the interim while I am trying to correct all the problems I have with mine.

Here is something I thought of that I dont think anybody has done before is make the whole bezel carbon fiber, like taking it to get hydro-dipped and then everything else clear. What do you guys think? I know my lady is not gonna be happy when she hears my plans for those LOL.

 

Matt-that sounds good! Yes, Bruce did these tails for me.

Can you come over on April 22nd?


Anil, is 11:30-12noon good for you?

 

I have a birthday party for my nephew that day, Ill see how long I'm there.

 

hahahaha new set of tails now eh LOL....dude your tails look good....keep em as is !!!

Sounds good buddy, but we might need to start a little early if we want to do a full brake job + paint calipers + put tails on, might have to start at 10-10:30....

brake job takes about 1 hour all 4 side
painting calipers another hour
tails around 2 hours (thanks acura )

 

^^^ That is fine with me-I can start any time you can get there!

 

2 hours for tails Anil? I can change them out in less than an hour now!

Looks like Steven is getting ready for the meet!

 

G2 is the best caliper paint I have heard of. Here is their link. http://www.g2usa.com/

I used it on my SVT and it was great, never chipped or flaked and looked great with an occasional wash when I was washing my wheels.

It is a 3 piece kit and includes a brake cleaner to prep with, the paint and a hardener you mix with the paint. Once ou mix teh 2 components, you have roughly 4-6 hours to get it on, then it hardens to they say a hockey puck. And it is true.

I'm going to do mine when I do new pads and rotors later this year. Probably with the black G2. Only downside is you can't drive your car for 24 hours once it is applied so it hardens properly.

 

Daniel, come on over! Free beer and pizza!

 

Daniel....yeah the reason i said 2 was after the brake job you will have grease hands....so you will have to make sure you dont put grease on steven's bumper....plus another thing is i do not think steven has removed his rear bumper for the past 4-5 years (car is 5 years old)....so hoping the bitch clips and the bolts are not rusted....

dont wanna tell him hey its gonna take 30 minutes and not be able to do it

plus am not charging him....so if it takes 1 hour or 3, all is good.....

 

We can do this shit like a pit crew, put the car in the air, guys working on brakes and others working on tails.

 

^^^ LOL....yeah wait couple weeks and I hope the pit crew will help me by working on interior and manifold/TB/Intake etc

 

I'm busy that day

 

^^^ I see how it is bro

 

Wish my car wasn't throwing codes or I would come up there to hang with you guys tomorrow. Hopefully I can figure it out before Friday.

 

^^^ we not doing anything tomorrow bro....next Saturday/Sunday.....

 

You guys got me all confused. Hopefully it will be running better by then. :fingerscrossed:

 

^^^ LOL you should drive down here buddy....you can crash at my place if you want.....

we will hit up Steven's house on April 22nd and work on his ride for couple hours and hope to finish the work before the beer gets to us :P

 

You know I'm playin

 

It really just depends on the car. Gotta find time from work/school this week to look at the car and see if I can't figure out the misfire.

 

^^^ is it shooting any codes ?

 

HI!!
