this is going a little of topic but meh.....anyone else stopped yet? im waiting for my rear strut bar that i order BEFore i decided to stop...so thats the last thing going on this year,

msvtec14 08-19-2002 01:33 PM

I haven't stopped yet. I don't ever want to stop. If I were you, I would just keep going with exterior modifications until it snows. In terms of your coilovers, are they adjustable? Aren't they all? But anyho, if you drop your car you could always just raise it back up when it snows. In terms of exterior mods there's not really a lot that you can adjust when it snows. And yeah, you could always wait till the weather gets nice again but whatever mods you do then will just be on there when the weather gets crappy again. I'll just focus primarily on interior and performance mods once winter hits.

So now its been... *counts* 12 days.. business days that is... and If they arent here today... I'm going to freak... but I'm glad i didnt pay the extra $300 to get them before my show .. 2 weeks ago, cause i probably wouldnt have gotten them in time then either...

I am not an @sshole to people without reason... well.. not seriously anyway.. im always an @sshole but im always joking too :)... He told me that they would be in no later than thursday... and they werent, then he said 3-5 days when i reordered them... and its been 7 more.. feh.. oh well :)


They're still not there??!!

TonitrusEN 08-19-2002 01:35 PM

Not yet, im calling them here in an hour or so, giving time for UPS to show up i think they get their shipments at 12:30.. so..

ShEaNy 08-19-2002 03:59 PM

ya there adjustable....but meh i have other mechanicals things to fix before all that.... i might work on saving for a body kit and rims for next year...

msvtec14 08-19-2002 05:06 PM

tonitrusEN, Did they show up??!!

Sheany_91accord, Yeah buying my kit was def my biggest investment for my car. Well worth it though. Mechanically, what's wrong with your car? Mines making some funny little noise under the hood. It sounds like a light ticking almost. Something to do with the valves. I have yet to drive my car in the snow with all the new mods on it and I'm kind of scared. I've been thinking about buying a winter beater.

Oh, I'm sorry . At least your X didn't buy the rims that you were sweating for deep. Ya know?

TonitrusEN 08-19-2002 05:24 PM

Well, imagine if she did and she bought the rims that you said you liked way back when! I hate my 1st X. I'm 20 and he's going to be 27 and he cheated on me way back in the day because he thought he was this big player and now he's going bald and he's all fat. ha ha. Did you take the factory wing off yet? I had this idea to get a carbon fiber hood and do it the color of my springs but then I realized that my car would make me look like a Greenbay Packers fan.

ShEaNy 08-19-2002 05:37 PM

theres something wrong with my valves too.. and i have to fix my intake that i never put on right in the first place (2 outs 3 clamps are on, and i need new filter) plus i need a compression test, AND my Rad that got replaced wasnt put on right and i just noticed that 3 monhts later and its to late to go back plus i lost the bill....arghh

I just called my dad down at the garage and he says maybe mine need to be readjusted. Did you see the translucent air filters??? They look pretty good. But the air flow has to be shitty in comparison to a normal air filter because it's clear plastic. That can't be good.

TonitrusEN 08-19-2002 05:44 PM

No, wing is still on there, not going to take it off til i order my new one.. that and i really dont like working on my car by myself... my friend that i used to do stuff with moved =/ bleeeh

Do you mean the filters with the plastic heat shields on them? Airflow WOULD be cut down but if you do it ram air style it would work good :)

I dunno if they're heat shields. I didn't really look to closely. I though they were cool until I thought about it. Ram air? Does that consist of putting holes in your hood?

TonitrusEN 08-19-2002 05:50 PM

SPEEEED HOOLLLES

Lol, it can, or you can put it where your intercooler would go if your Turbo'd.. it just means that ALL the intake can suck in is cold air moving really quickly, so putting it where its in direct contact with wind :)

TonitrusEN 08-19-2002 05:52 PM



Like that? but clear?

Yup, those but clear. I'm not turbo-ed so that would mean putting holes in my hood which I don't think I'm willing to do.

TonitrusEN 08-19-2002 06:01 PM

Well you can do this...

Is it true that SIs come stock with a strut bar?

TonitrusEN 08-20-2002 12:46 PM

It was under the hood...

ShEaNy 08-21-2002 02:19 PM

yea they do come with a front strut bar...under the hood..

msvtec14 08-21-2002 02:28 PM

What about the front grill? The grill on it looked identical to a type R grill...I asked my friend. He said that it was stock but that he just took the emblems out.
