Hey...


uhh..


Are STS-V/Mustang owners invited? Can said owner bring CTS-V friends?



Asking for a friend..

 

Only steers and queers in Texas, but we don't condone boning unicorns, so they're fine as long as they don't try to cross lanes on each other.

 

Sounds like a "no" then.

 

Everyone is welcome, but keep the mustangs on the straight and narrow. lol I used to work on the ol' Caddy's. Fun cars. Although the STS-V has that nasty Northstar in it still... cool car tho. I like the CTS-V sedan better, minus the bad superchargers lol

 

Just sayin that video was hilarious...Natural selection at its finest.

 

whats up guys. just bought a 2005 TSX for a new daily. 1 owner, low miles and dealer maintenance records, 6 spd. nothing too big planned for it, just get it lower to the ground, a nice exhaust and see what happens from there. id be down to meet up sometime with you guys

 

Welcome, what part of town are you from/

 

I'm out in rockwall, East of Dallas. In the middle of finishing up a chump car miata build, looking forward to start modding the tsx.

 

Took it out and made some noise yesterday.

 

I need to get the TL out here soon. I almost drove it to work today...

 

Looking good Ethan! It's been nice out, I drove mine over the weekend.

 

everyone likes new car pictures right??









2005 TSX, 6 spd, Navi. 109k miles. 1 owner, dealer maintaned. I have all records since the car was bought new, all the way down to new wiper blades. i need to buff the headlights, and the car needs a claybar and wax and buff, but other than a couple small door dings its pretty much mint

 

Damn, can't ask for a much cleaner canvas to build on. Looks great rw.

 

Doing a valve adjustment this weekend any pointers. I'm a little nervous and anxious to get my baby running right again. I hate the sound it's making at idle right now not as quiet as it used to be.

 

I'll be doing mine too this weekend, along with seals and gasket. I personally have never done it, but seeing eric the car guy videos really helped me understand more and i feel a bit more comfortable doing it. Best of luck

I also went ahead and purchased the 10mm special valve adjustment tool, not sure if you bought that already...should make it easier

 

Didnt even know they had one where did you get it at?

 

wow valve adjustment. I remember those days when I would just dive in and do shit like that.

 

Amazon has iti usually its only 20 bucks. Or you can use a 10mm and a flathead and make sure it dont move when you tighten it lol...but the tool is cheap enough to invest in and it will save you time.

 

It wasn't too hard on my old b18c1 integra Just never messed with a 6 before

 

nice hopefully we have one lying around the shop if not imma have to order one for the future and just do it the old fashioned way this time.

 

Bought it from amazon, couldn't find it locally tried sears, oreily's and autozone

same day shipping with prime guess I'm stop by the shop before cars and coffee and see if I have one there if not ordering it.

thanks

 

I did my valve adjustment this past summer, took me the whole day only bc I had to pull out my SC as well. I'd get a gauge feeler as well with that valve adjustment tool; the specs on the adjustment should be labled under the hood of the car. "Eric the car guy" gave great information on how to do the adjustment, it wasn't hard at all just tedious. Yeah, change your valve gaskets & spark plug gaskets as well while your doing the valve adjustment, kill 2 birds w/ one stone. If you don't have the tool to remove the spark plug gaskets, you gotta try pry them out carefully; you may have to use some force as well too while inserting the new ones. MOST IMPORTANT NOTE, gotta let the car be cold before doing the valve adjustment or it will mess up the valve lash measurement.

 

I have everything prepared cars sitting in shop tonight. So sheep be cold have all the seals plugs and tools ready purchase the tool on amazon got it at like 8 so pretty happy bout that. Hopefully it will be easy on this one.

 

Just an update I finished and valve lash is gone 100% thanks midnightcivic for that link it made the job 1000 times easier and an pic of the front head she's still clean at 85,000

 

I need to do a timing belt on my daily... I need to put my swap in too. haha no motivation lol

 

haha forget the belt just do the swap. I regret holding it off so long on my integra it was wrecked a month after putting a gsr had no time with it

 

No, it's not an Acura, but here's my buddies car that we've been working on:



First race is in MarchMarch, 2 days, 16 hours, 4 drivers.

 

Timing belt is easy as hell with the motor out...Quit slacking Travis lol.

 

Well the motor on my daily... 2000 Accord coupe is still in the car lol Its too late to put the motor in now. Show seasons coming. So no pulling an engine now lol

 

its easy lol

 

I'm a master mechanic... timing belt job without a lift is a 6 hour job going fast. I don't have 6 hours right now working flip 12 hour shifts all week. ... Im not ripping my dash out right now to redo the harnesses and put new pedals, cluster, ecu, and shifter and cables. plus dropping the subframe to swap it all out. I just spent 4k on headlights and new front bumper so timing belt can wait lol

 

They do not take 6 hours.

 

So it looks like the FB guys are gonna meet up & do a cruise on the 2/26.

 

which FB guys? and where?

 

Any more info? Don't have a fb

 

I didn't see nothing there but not sure saw something about one in fort worth

 

TxTL, they're thinking about doing a cruise to Roma's Italian restaurant in Lancaster. I'll update more later bc theyre thinking about changing the date.

 

I am over here like I just want a starbucks meet to keep it simple lol.

 

I mean stupid good coffee in downtown would be a fun place to try plus some photo ops possibly.
