[itzdave]

love the rims. where'd u get 'em?

craigslist, no clue at all on who made them. you can check my 'gettin some rims' thread for how they looked when i got them and see if u can figure out any info on them...

[itzdave]

[Bglad420]

I have a facelift bumper sitting in my shop unpainted off my hatch, I should've mentioned that when you were over...

[Legend_master]

Wow man that looks great, I really do love the white on white with the Hatch. Great setup dude!

[A18A]

shweeet

[ShyBoyCA6]

DAVE!!! Your hatch is looking mad sexy are you willing to trade for a sedan??? Hahaa

[bullard123]

Looking good! Sunroof oem or aftermarket?

[itzdave]

thanks everybody!
aftermarket, made by INALFA. its the same one i had on my 4dr, i yanked it out before i sent it to the junk yard.

[charliekuney]

Sunroof oem or aftermarket?

Coupes and hatches didn't have the option for sunroofs, so aftermarket. ;)

Only the LX-i sedan had them (standard), and the SE-i sedan had it as an option.

...

Dave! When are you coming back for viewing purposes?

[itzdave]

lol, lets do a karting mini-meet yo?! it sounds like the navy will be sending me to Turkey in a few months so i might be gone for a lil bit...

[charliekuney]

How long? I want your corners until you get back.

Shit, I have to drive all the way to Mike's to give him his cup holders back...

[itzdave]

How long? I want your corners until you get back.

Shit, I have to drive all the way to Mike's to give him his cup holders back...

uh, why the hell would you borrow corners or cupholders? no part of my car will be up for grabs while im deployed... thats just dumb.

[charliekuney]

It was a joke my friend. I have Mike's second set until mine arrive in the mail, which they have not, but I'm giving Mike's back anyway. I'll just have any empty space there.

[itzdave]

bumpity bump bump! no more comments? lol.

lolz, naw i wont, just for you ;)
im actually thinkin about selling it :eek: yea i know, i just dont know what else i can do to it and kinda want a new (old) car to play with...:sad2::crying:

[Juggalo88Accord]

Dont sell it man! That car is beautiful an its come along way from tha 3geez in seattle meet those rims are perfect

(I would go facelift bumper wit it)

[charliekuney]

Definitely get the facelift bumper. Get rid of that tacky amber.

[Civic Accord Honda]

^ douche amber is <3 and looks soo good on 80s cars... hell people on cb7tuners swap bumpers to have the amber lights! clear is ricer anyway lol


any updates dave?

[2ndGenGuy]

If you're gonna sell it, at least get those DCOE carbs running on it first. Everybody I talk to who swaps on those carbs says what a HUGE improvement they make right off the bat.

[Ayeobe]

The only think i prefer about the facelift is the turn signals. Im actually going for the pre-facelift on my car, painted all body color.. So, my opinion is keep it how it is. The amber lights arent a problem, as much as you might benefit from painting the flips black, heh.

[itzdave]

well i think im gunna try to get the carbs running next week. one of my friends has all the shtuff to sync them together properly tuned and whatnot.
still gotta get hardware for them so i can hookup the vac advance and brake booster...

[Civic Accord Honda]

[itzdave]

HOWEVER!!! the carb for 3+4 didnt put out any fuel... so we kinda took it a part a lil, cleaned it a bunch, tried again and it 'kinda' worked. but it still wasnt good, so im gunna rebuild them, and make them great again, then re-install.
so for now, im back with the 38/38 for a week or so(hopefully)

http://www.inalfasunroofs.com/
this is who made the sunroof that i have, its the 'F' series popup style sunroof. the glass can popped up in 3 different levels, or removed on hot and sunny days, lol.
the kit comes with a big piece of paper that is used as the layout for what to cut, and all the hardware, and a little gasket thingy (i used silicone as well tho, but thats just me).
the sunroof DOES kinda bring the headliner up a little higher than stock by pinching it up, so the headliner wont quite look right and mine even has 2 little wrinkly spots...

[2ndGenGuy]

Dude those idle screws are bollocks! That would have fucking thrown me off for days. I don't understand how that would have even happened. :-S

[gp02a0083]

not bad. just double check your sanding work, white tends to "hide" many imperfections. i would only suggest putting a heavier coat of primer over the bodywork area, in the last picture you can still see some bleed through of the metal and bondo, otherwise :thumbup:

for future reference you can purchase a set of hid's cheaper from my buddys at www.builtbynotorious.com

they even have slim ballasts that are the size of about a credit card. i paid 80 or 85 i can't remember, that was for what looks like the same kit you have, granted mine are 9006 but h4 shouldn't be any different on cost.

oh and on a side note, CLEAN YOUR ENGINE BAY YOU DIRTY MAN YOU!

looks good with the new carb's though.

[AccordB20A]

thats good news, i wonder how good its going to run/power its going to make, video might be required

[Bglad420]

Nice work glad you got it squared out.

[2drSE-i]

Just so everyone knows. Oklahoma's new plates really are that fucking ugly. I get relieved when i see out of state people, because its like a vacation for my eyes...

[Rendon LX-i]

Nice can't wait to see it in person

[Jajle]

Just so everyone knows. Oklahoma's new plates really are that fucking ugly. I get relieved when i see out of state people, because its like a vacation for my eyes...

I like them, I actually get my new tag tomorrow too. Can't wait. Course I'm getting it because mine is out of date. But they're still good looking imo.

[mykwikcoupe]

Dave, That looks amazing, Hows the power feel? Was I at least mostly correct? Its insane how low that car is getting. The pic with the bumper lambo low is priceless. Id make you jack it up for me to work on it.

[itzdave]

like i said man, its real hard to explain, but i dont think something is QUITE right with the carbs. there was a time or 2 that, from a roll if i gave it WOT, i couldnt even catch traction at all and id spin halfway thru 2nd. but then sometimes, mainly lower rpms, i feel like there is no power. another thing i dont like is how much pedal travel i have. i had to take out the little 'stop block' thing under the pedal cuz in order to get WOT i have to move the pedal SO much.

[itzdave]

anybody have any imput on 'proper' jet sizes i should be running?

[2ndGenGuy]

Have you been through the Weber Jet Sizes thread? Quite a few people with A20s and Webers posted what they were running... what sizes do you have?

[itzdave]

Have you been through the Weber Jet Sizes thread? Quite a few people with A20s and Webers posted what they were running... what sizes do you have?

yea i read thru it, but its mainly about 36/32s and 38/38s

[itzdave]

new hood emblem! after seeing the ones that the people in thailand have, i was inspired, lol.

[Ayeobe]

Thats sweet dude! itll look sick!

[2ndGenGuy]

Hmmm... that thread seems to have shrunk up. I seem to remember there being more jet sizes. PhydeauX ran a stock A20 with dual DCOEs. You might find his jet sizes in one of his build threads. I swear he posted... you could also PM rjudgey. He LOVES helping out with DCOE stuff and is a really cool guy... He might have some ideas.

[A18A]

hey thats a cool lighter

[itzdave]

yea i was gunna pm rjudgey earlier today but i cant find the sheet of paper i wrote down my jet sizes on...

[2ndGenGuy]

Oh hey did you check PreludePower. There are lots, or were lots, of guys running DCOES on A18s, and probably a few who have them bored out to 2 liters, might be pretty damn close on the jet sizes.

[2oodoor]

get the weber book too, there were lots of example jetting in there for different apps
Love the car :wave:

[Civic Accord Honda]

You look like a very tall guy. I am 6'2" and just got used to driving without quite enough leg room. How's the driving comfort for you?

im 6'2" and had plenty of leg room in my 3gee never even had the seat all the way back, but my head would be pushed right on the freaking sunroof cover all the time

[russiankid]

I am 5'11" and the seat is all the way back and tilted half way back...and I still need more leg room.

[itzdave]

thats not me laying down on the engine, thats me sitting on it in the black hoodie, im about 6', never had an issue with legroom, with the stock seats or the buckets...

OH btw, the weber 38/38 is for sale now...

[itzdave]

[lostforawhile]

Good thing im not actually holding my breath, i'd be dead lol. I wonder what black louvers would look like on his all-white car?

the hatch needs black trim and black bumpers to look right to me, at least on a white one. the black louvers would look fine.

[2drSE-i]

he has a pic on his facebook if you guys are his friend. I don't remember them saying Honda on them but i didn't look too close. they fit like a glove on the hatch we removed them from.

[2drSE-i]

[itzdave]

130 is the cheapest, having to wait a week for them...

[lostforawhile]

as for the carb, nope, havent really had time to mess with it too much. and since im gunna be gone for a while, i think ill just buy a jet kit later and play around with it when i get back from deployment...

Ill give you time. Im guessing either the broadway mirror will go or the louvers will since one makes the other pointless. I want to see them mounted and you come by so many sweet deals I think you should be able to keep one of the hardest to find. Hope they fit on the carrier with you. Unless your flying public then Id still try to get them a private flight

"Blake Mitchell Smith Likes This" :thumbup:

[itzdave]

lol, maybe once i get these on, i can take some new pix. need to change my sig cuz i no longer have the CF hood,...

[itzdave]

alrighty. so i took the boxed up louver with me to the airport after reading thier 'oversize luggage' regulations. according to them, it has to be under 110 linear inches(width+lenth+depth) and no single measurement could be 62' or more. my box was 54'+40'+7'=101. also, i would have to pay a $75-$100 fee, totally cool wit that tho cuz it still costs less, and i wouldnt have to wait for shipping...
so i walk up to the counter and both of the people there are just shaking their heads like 'nope, not gunna happen'.
then i told them i was military and they were like 'oh why didnt ya say so, sure we'll take it, free of charge' WOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so i got my louvers shipped with me for FREE!!!!
now im just gunna clean them up a lil, throw some paint on, then time for install!!
pix will happen...

[2drSE-i]

Dude, your so lucky. Don't tell anyone what u payed for them or it will be a riot.

[bryan6732]

Hehe, I guess serving your country proves to be useful :lol:
Can't wait to see the pics though!

[itzdave]

Dude, your so lucky. Don't tell anyone what u payed for them or it will be a riot.

[itzdave]

shweetness! just bought a front and rear set of ST sway bars! bglad420 is nice enough to hold them for me til i get back from Turkey too! cant wait to throw these on my car with that new set of ksport coilovers! oh yea, bought those too, lol...

to bglad -> :cheers:

infinite grip FTMFW!!!!!

[Bglad420]

You should be happy with them, I thought they were the best upgrade I did to my car as far as handling went.

[Rendon LX-i]

DAMN......so your what you going to do with the set i gave you LOL..

[itzdave]

DAMN......so your what you going to do with the set i gave you LOL..

that set never showed up, my buddy checked every day, no letter from the post office or anything. the ones u sent me were just stock, right?

[Rendon LX-i]

WHAT????? Well fuck where they go....SOB. Well yeah there where just stockys. But you ST sways so thats like 100 times better.

[itzdave]

thats hella gay, im sure they will turn up somewhere... thanks anyways i guess, haha.

[2ndGenGuy]

Ah don't get rid of the Bilsteins!

[itzdave]

Ah don't get rid of the Bilsteins!

but i thought that the ksports would be better!? :banghead:

[Rendon LX-i]

Sell me that setup. DAVE...i got dibs. I want something a bit cheaper in price for now. I would like the ks but ill have to wait.

[charliekuney]

oh hai, you gost AOM!

[mykwikcoupe]

whatever you sell the bilsteins for dave be sure they go to a good home. Thats a pretty rare setup believe it or not. I would personally keep them for a few months until you decide if the ksports are really what you want.

[itzdave]

oh hai, you gost AOM!

WOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just saw that too!!

oh i know, they have been an amazing setup so far, worth every penny for damn sure! i hate to get rid of them, but i want 'real' full-bodied coilovers...

[Rendon LX-i]

Well im like all state. THEY WELL BE IN GOOD HANDS LOL. time to retire the kybs and eibachs...if i keep the hatch ill just put that setup into the hatch. then daves in boosted.

BTW congrats bro. your car is sex.

[2ndGenGuy]

oh i know, they have been an amazing setup so far, worth every penny for damn sure! i hate to get rid of them, but i want 'real' full-bodied coilovers...

The only difference between sleeves, and a "real" full bodied coilover, is that the threaded "sleeve" is part of the shock body.

[itzdave]

The only difference between sleeves, and a "real" full bodied coilover, is that the threaded "sleeve" is part of the shock body.

and the ksports have adjustability...

[2ndGenGuy]

Which is questionable as to whether the adjusters actually do anything useful.

I'm sure the K-Sports will be fine, it's not like you're going to die or anything from emminent failure. I am just of the opinion that the Bilesteins are a much higher quality shock. And, since they've been professionally re-valved for your springs, they're probably going to be much more consistent on each corner.

Might not make any difference at all unless you're competing at autocross nationals anyways.

[2drSE-i]

Could put all this to rest and get them dynoed ;)

[2ndGenGuy]

Actually, I just PM'd Dave about that. I'm really curious. I figured we could try to get a set of Koni's, and maybe some Tokicos or something done at the same time... that is, if someone wanted to donate them for a couple days. :)

[mykwikcoupe]

I have a few sets of konis. I may be willing to let someone borrow with deposit. Id prefer getting them cleaned before its done so give me warning.

[Bglad420]

My blues are up for sale.

[mykwikcoupe]

Ive got 4 different setups right now. the konis, eibachs with tokicos, daves old setup (kybs with some spring, stock. let me know how much its gonna cost to bet the konis dynoed to the gcs and the konis with the sprints and Ill see if I can do it.

[MessyHonda]

bump on the hids....what heat did you go with?

[2ndGenGuy]

I dunno how fair the test is going to be, but should be interesting. Problem is we'll be using off-the-shelf Konis, K-Sports, etc. vs re-valved Bilsteins. Also, the K-sports will be brand new. Not sure how age will affect the quality of the other struts, say if they have dried out seals and maybe have leaked a bit over time. Hopefully, there will at least be some interesting results on how the adjusters work on the Koni's vs the K-sports.

[Bglad420]

I know that playing with the dampening on my Si it makes a big difference in the handling.



Oh yeah I just picked up an 90 Si Hatch with 6k on the rebuilt motor. his build thread on HT (http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2696594)

[mykwikcoupe]

let me know when this happens. i want to get my konis rebuilt after i find some raised tophats anyways. maybe another pair converted to yellows.

[MessyHonda]

where can you dyno the shocks at?

[itzdave]

bump on the hids....what heat did you go with?

8K's

[MessyHonda]

thanks...im buying some soon now

[mykwikcoupe]

8K's

purple it is huh. I see too many cheap kits with mismatched colors or one hot and one cold. Im trying to convice myself into a philips kit. Sure its more expensive but you get what you pay for. I like the 5500k kit.

[2ndGenGuy]

Fuckin SICK dude! You got the shift light too!!! But WTF is Megajolt/E ? Is mine out of date already?! Jealouz! Lemme know if you need any help with that. I'm definitely a noob at tuning the MJ, but I do know how to get it hooked up!

[itzdave]

oh im dure i will be asking plenty of questions...
yea this is a newer MJ. when i first started looking in to it, they had a different one, then just recently changed to this one.

[lostforawhile]

well thats two of us with rare carb tuning kits, you've got the redline, I would have paid just to have the empty box on my shelf, and I got the super rare SU tool kit, that all my books say is impossible to find. :cheers:

[itzdave]

I got the jet kits and the synch tool from racetep, they had the cheapest prices I could find for the jets. And the tool was about 40 or so. I saw cheaper ones on eBay, but I figured this one was prolly better quality...

[2ndGenGuy]

Are you back now?

[itzdave]

Yuppers!

[2ndGenGuy]

Well fuck. If I knew it was going to be so soon, I would have put off that last meet. :( I thought you were out 'til April or something!

So do you know what's different about the newer version of the MJ setup?

[itzdave]

Yea, I got back on the 14th. That's why I kept satin 'wait!' haha. But it's all good...
Dunno bout the differences in the mj computers tho.

[itzdave]

And for the record, a DC stut bar fits right over the dcoe's!

[87Hatch3G]

Your motor setup is very nice, similar to what I had.
