So you sold your Comptech charger Jay? Do you feel like this setup is better then your black FG? You technically never ran that one on slicks. Do you plan on getting a RH, 3IN EX? I can see a high 11 in the near future! That Rotrex is no joke! Congrats! I was at Woodburn for Waterlands 2012, some euro car show.

 

Jay, did you get the TLS wheels fitted up yet?

Also, you just can't keep one FI can you? You have to just keep changing all of the time, making people like myself jealous with pathetic no-tune NA set ups :P. You suck is the sum of that rant

 

^ i feel the same chris haha jealousy sets to mind fast!! how much is a rotex kit?? i would think it could fit on our cars.. wanna do that silver cover plate in carbon =) haha

 

new mold done.. just need to do some cleaning.. and a ton more sanding to smooth it out.

 

No I didn't sell it. It's sitting here. It's future is unknown. I'm in no hurry to decide.

My plans on the exhaust side are unknown. My needs for the car have not changed. I still require it to be quiet.

Tires are paid for, waiting for them to ship to me.

I got a mother of god killer deal on the kit due to some money owed me by someone in the industry. So I jumped on it to give the kit a try and provide Skunk2 with feedback on the setup.

The Rotrex kit is $4,795 from Kraftwerks.

That cover plate isn't included in the kit, it's actually something that came with my used CTe kit, and already exists in carbon from CTe... I just fabbed up my own brackets to make it fit on there to clean up the bay.

See the green one, I stripped it down and polished.

 

And here's the video of the run from the outside....

 

seems like rotex for the price is better vs CTe.. specially now with being able to tune.. is the kit only for civics? or is there one for the rsx type s? (thinking the rsx head is closer to the tsx if memory serves correctly)

 

The main issue regarding fitment is the power steering pump. The RSX and TSX hav hydro power steering, the Civic has EPS. This gives the needed room for a supercharger.

 

does the newer tsx have eps?

 

yes

 

^ well then i guess they have once the flashpro is avail for them this would be a good thing to get..

 

what was your qtr with your civic coupe?

 

^ that's a lot of mold. Do you give loaner discounts?

 

haha loaner discounts for a mold?? am i missing the punchline in here?? haha

you going to be available friday at the same time again to drop off the part??

 

How about discount toner?

Will be home, possibly mowing grass which I neglected to mow this last weekend.

 

They already have flashpro on the 09+

12.795@120 on street tires. That car had a lot more torque. With slicks it would have done 11's easily.

 

I am lost =) ill text ya friday then to confirm when im coming by.. most likely same bat time.. same bat channel!

so the rotex kit is possible for the 09+ tsx then.. that would be nice! does it replace the pulley tension location??

^^does it sit up higher than the CT did?

 

just awesome.. simply awesome

i would think its close to same height??

 

It's much higher. I had to remove the insulation on the underside of the hood for clearance.

 

wow wasnt thinking it would be.. interesting

 

Is that a bulge in your hood or...

 

This is the trade I can afford \/. Toner for engine cover.

 

oh hahaha.. got ya.. ya unfortunetly i dont have a printer to use those otherwise.. it might of worked

 

C'mon that's like $100+ worth of Toner on eBay. I can't sell it...but they don't know you.

Ha, ha just kidding snoopy boss man.

 

Not much traffic this morning, but got to work early, no one was here and alarm code was disabled. Had to make the call of shame to security (Flashlight Police).



Still trying to find Vermont Avenue (#928). Getting fat searching.

 

^ haha im still looking for boardwalk.. im getting fat doing it to..

cleaned up your part last night.. all night and black again.. not that faded grey color =)

 

My plan for today is to send photo's of myself to specific poeple that have told me I can't do something because it is bad for me.

Example: McDonalds for breakfast, pizza for lunch. Pic goes to the endocrinologist/diabetes doctor who told me I can't eat that stuff anymore.

Next phase: Speeding to the bar, 50 in a 30, pic goes to Portland Police, specifically Officer Deland.

Then: Snort cociane in the back restroom in the bar, pic goes to my Cardiologist.

And finnally: Tranny porn, pic goes to my therapist.

 

sounds like you have a plate full of activities

 

suppose to rain this weekend.. anyone winterise there vehicle yet?? im gonna do my oil change today.. clean the filter and seafoam... should be good till feb.. or march

 

I polished/sealed/waxed britts car yesterday.

Hell-of-a busy weekend over here, and out of town starting tomorrow - Saturday so no time for the Acura lol

 

Fuuuuck. Too lazy.

This would have been the perfect weekend as well. Maybe I can get some paint buff time in Thursday afternoon before the rain hits.

 

Warning...Marco Rant Coming!

Today is "I hate chicks day."
Starting to really get under my skin today. Women can't get the: driving, parking, talking to mechanics, hiring a good contractor, knowing the limits of your man's tolerance to nagging, thing down. It's good thing my lady is still out of town. After-all, I can't yell at the bitches around here for no good reason. STFUB. Now Bend over and take it...

 

Hmm, I guess this^ is what my boss was referring to when I overheard him say "Loose Cannon" as I left the room.

 

It was my puppies 1st bday, took him in
to get weighed in, 100 lbs on the dot!
Last weight in was 82 lbs hah!!!!

 

NICE!! my puppy is probably only 32 lbs.. and next month will be 6 months.. kinda big for a bulldog but still good size.. did you have wire put in the ears? or was that done by the breeder?

 

thank god someone posted something...I was really regretting those last couple of posts.

 

Its just a crop when they are young, very common for pits dobies and german sheps.


So I got my winter setup on... got my wheels for $150 and used pirelli tires for $100. NBD I don't think I like the gold, and most likely will end up doing a gunmetal/dark silver color.

 

^Nice. I was thinking about getting a set for the TL because I put a bulge in the right front...but I fucked up again and tore the top molding back on the drivers door when I caught it on the center post in my garage (SOBER, I wasn't even drunk).
Really made it look like crap while trying to bend it back with the needle nose pliers.

Now my money will go to RTA for a fake piece of chrome and 2hrs labor.

The first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one.
Well, I'm an idiot. Maybe now I will stop running into curbs, and closing car doors with a giant post in the way.
