For brake fluid you can get Valvoline Dot 3&4 from Advance Auto Parts...this will a big bottle for like $7....that should be good enough....I have been running this fluid since the past 3 years without an issue....

If you have some extra dough lying around then get the Motul RBF600 or the Motul Dot 5.1 (DO NOT USE DOT 5 FLUID IN THE TL. Only use Dot 3/4 or 5.1). If you get the motul you will need 2 bottles...(they dont come in a bigger bottle and i forget the size of the smaller bottle)...

Spark Plugs I would stick with NGK (NGK Laser Iridium Spark Plug (IZFR6K11)). I change mine out every 60-70K miles but you can leave them in for more than 105K miles....they are 10 bucks a pop...

Go to advance auto parts website...get the 6 spark plugs + brake fluid your total will be like $68...use the coupon code "SP14" and it will give you 15% off and $25 your next purchase of $50

Then come out to the next FF to buy me a beer with the money saved

Puchase has been made. Thanks swoosh I knew I could count on you for all the answers and the savings!! But you did forget to add shipping to the total
I am down to hang out with the crew but FF just does not excite me, sorry. But if we do other things I'll definitely for sure come through! Just let me know you have my number. Don't really get on azine much because as you can see, everytime I go on I see stuff I wanna buy.

been forever since I've been on here. Something goes on with the server over here where azine will not work for days at a time and I guess today is my lucky day . Anywho the deployment is going well, I should be back the 20 sumthin of Oct so the dyno day will have to be either at the end of oct or beginning of November.
Anywho update on parts:
The thermal intake gasket has arrived
Ichiba 15mm hubcentric rear spacers are in
Rear Big brake kit with e-brake has been ordered and awaiting shipping
2x gt-spec subframe braces are in
o-rings/grease for ABS modulator rebuild are in

I think that's it so far , hopefully azine works for me in the future.

So i asked the guy and dyno's are like $65 for 3 runs with AFR....

but we can "rent" the dyno for like $90/hour....Lets rent it for 3 hours and run 12-13 cars on and split the cost....what say you guys?

^^^ I think its a dynojet....

and 3 hours should be good enough....all we need to do is do 3 runs....the most time take will be to strap the car....if we want we can extend it for another hour or so depending....

Hey Ky, good to hear! Send some pics if you got em, It would be a great addition to our page.
Business cards are almost here and decals will begin next month.

Anil, Erica is being lazy on her civic (her words) she might not be ready in time for dyno. I thought maybe you'd convince her to redouble her efforts

However she might be joining our acurazine community. She's agreeing to buy my dad's 3G TL.

Just throwing this out there. Was at modified KC over the weekend, and the 30 min we were there they barely got 1 car hooked up. So for 3 hours you are barely gonna get 6 cars done.

I say, lets pay them $65 to do runs for 1 person....see how they strap the car, see how they dyno...lets take a nice video of that....depending on how much time they take and how many cars we have, lets rent the dyno and go from there.....

I know the does takes the least amount of time....the time consumers are strapping + AFR reading....

I never knew how long dyno runs took.
Maybe we should postpone ICT for another time so the Azine folks can have a day?

Unless something can be worked out time wise.

Sure I got all kinds of build pics/ part pics etc:

Heres the e-brake design on the rears I ordered, caliper and disc diameter are the same as the fronts.


Chassis bracing

Thermal Gaskets

O-rings grease for ABS rebuild


When the rear kit comes in I'll have the wifey take more pics

Apologies. But when you've seen stuff in your life your vocabulary alters accordingly.

I scrolled through the pictures too fast, didn't see the captions.

Erica is not going to be running the dyno. Her new head is bad and she is going off about. She's pretty upset, but she'll still be attending.
