it'll sure grab some attention with that noise

seems like you might go home with at least one trophy (best acura) from the show

 

just upgrade to 14 inch rotors =) get some wilwoods or something haha

 

My guess is that some JDM'd out Honda/Acura will take that honor.

Just spent a grip on my Rotoras though...

 

I'm claiming first post today!

 

Im slackin...

 

looks like it, get with the program...

So stiffening up the damper settings helped out the front tire rub issue, but didn't entirely get rid of it. 98% of the time there is never any rub so that other 2% of the time I suppose I could slow down....

 

Roll fenders.

How much tread life you have left? You could get a narrower tire width if its close to time for new rubber.

 

unfortunately they still have at least 75% life on them so can't justify new rubber until spring or summer. Plus with all of these xmas expenses can't afford a nice set of rubber lol. But yeah a lower sidewall would resolve the issue entirely.

It's not a hard enough rub to hurt the fender liner or the tire, just enough to make a lil noise in the cabin when it happens and so far it's been only on one turn since I stiffened it all up

 

weather peeps say rain on sunday now.. looks like the PDXmas might be a wash

 

Even a slight rub will rub away paint after a few times. So keep a eye on that.

 

Good thing its indoors huh?

 

I don't think it's rubbing on the paint though, I think it's more of a rub on the liner than anything

 

Did you lower the shock body or the collars on the coils?

Was talking to Dan about adjusting the shock body and we both came to the decision that yea its cool because it lets you retain spring rate/travel. But having the same travel with less room raises the possibility of ripping out inner fender liners.

Id keep a eye on it if it is rubbing the fender liner.

 

lowered the shock body but stiffened up the dampening rate to compensate a bit. I have only experienced the rub on one corner on the way in particular, otherwise I have no rub anywhere else I go...so the moral would be to just slow down on that turn

 

indoors? or under a big tarp?

 

I see.

Indoors.

thats all the matters chris - my seal of approval ---haha jk


mmm gangsta status ...

what color is it? i think ive seen it before.

let us not forget 04's are now 5 yrs old --- prices have dropped majorily hopefully the car is still classy enough to keep the rice away

how loud are your brakes? like if im in my car at a stop light and you pull up will i hear you in my car?


strecth your tires?

im only a fan on RWD but you know there are those umm strange ppl IMO who do it on FWD cars too....



talk about a multi quote - i need to check the page more ive been slacking

 

oh you got that lude beat for sure!!..

 

1. Black or Dark Grey
2. Loud...People can hear them down the street...like way down the street.
3. Not so much a stretch as in coke can looking. But just run a series smaller.

Both my wheels are 8.5in wide. Yet on my ASPECs im running a 225 because they were on my brothers RSX for a while and he put the tires on. Yet my 235's on the Volks look more "stretched"

So Chris's 235s now rub slightly so a 225 shouldnt rub at all.

 

oh yes ive def seen it - i wonder to myself how ppl who would do that get the $$$ for that kind of car....

 

^^cough a wire mesh grill could be a mugen grill without the mugen logo attached which *cough* you were selling in the BM not to long ago.....

 

thank got my wired grill came from japan and is wrapped in CF.. haha

 

BTW.. I forgot to add VTEC pic of the week last week

 

i love the fact that in the pic they are all just standing around

 

chicken wire does not = mugen

wait was it JDM chicken wire - that would be diff....

 

so mugen uses the higher quality JDM chicken wire?

 

haha something like that...

the car im thinking of looks rediculous...nothing like a mugen gril (JDM chicken wire or not)

 

looks as though its just wrapped around the OE grill.

 

ghetto fab?

 

i am curious what it looks like.. you have to make a mission to take a few snap shots when you see it

 

found the pic...








.

 

UGH i cant see it..all i get is the RED X

 

yeah no pic = lame

 

its a picture of a turd....


seriously.

 

turds are awesome

 

^^^ lol

 

a snicker would be better

 

arg, ride height is all f*cked up. So I noticed that I was hanging a bit low on one side, so went about adjusting it, then the other side was low, so dropped a bit on the side I raised, needless to say it's all freaking wierd now. So I think I'll just take it to speed and have them level it out and call it good, no more messing around with it.... arg I hate this type of thing. Makes me feel all self concious driving it cause it sits all funny....

 

first post again! on a roll.

Stupid ride height still fecked up. Oh well, calling speed today.

 

I just got to work...

As soon as i left home my girlfriend called me saying 26 was closed, so i took TV HWY to avoid all the traffic...




How off is your ride height?
