The car is not even worth $1200. Doing the water pump and timing belt itsn't a very difficult task. It will just take time and patience.Quote:

i wish i would have know that :( i just used 88cent walmart primer so now i have to redoit?Quote:

Dude the kids trying, and he's learning a lot. It really seems like you got on this thread just to make fun of him. Just leave him alone, if you don't like him, just don't deal with him.
Hey I used to have CDROM drive as my CD player back when I first got my car!
We make do with what we have,I remember the days when I had very little money and had to make do with whatever I had laying around to fix my car up.
Good for CAH for trying to get his car done.
Yeah, your right... I get on his threads when I want a good laugh.. Because it is quite entertaining.Quote:

lay off the kid.
yeah i dont see you working on your accord....even tho you do have a shit load of parts....they wont come together if you dont help them
Not like I need to prove anything but the motor is out of the car, waiting on my new Slugs and rings so I can put them in... I have all the parts just need time to do it. I haven't felt it neccessary to post up pics of it yet as it is just in peices, Just wait until its done, but even though my accord is in about 200 different peices it looks way better than that peice..Quote:

Here, I am working My Accord.... This was over a month ago now and the motor is about 90% dissassembled in our shop, but I dont have any pics because generally im paying more attention to what we are doing.

I know for a fact you guys don’t make to much. Leave the kid alone and don’t say things that are not necessary. Don't fall in with most of the civic owners who think they are better then everyone else. hes a kid and he dosnt have a job, but hes doing the best he can.Quote:

CAH if you continue to trade insults with him you are just as bad and you'll both find yourselfs with a temp ban.
yea lets lay off of CAh for a while,a little good natured making fun of him is one thing,but the outright meannes has got to go. I like to pick on him,but I know he is trying to work on his car and I won't make fun too much of the actual work. (except for the bathroom molding). but there is no room for "I'm better then you,I drive a better car,I've got a better job,you are shit" I do a lot of custom stuff and a lot of people on here think my car is cool,but I don't feel that I'm personally better then anyone else,there are a lot of cars on here that I think are way better then mine. I make it a point to take the knowledge that I was blessed with and try to pass it on to others so that it will help them. I think if someone comes on here and starts talking trash like was talked,it deserves a banning. :bandance:

:eek: :eek: :eek5: :eek5:

I do have to agree on the red badge though, that has to go,thats APC ricer stuff. CAH why not paint it black or something? something different?Quote:
originally quoted by larry the Cable guy-now thats funny I don't care who you are!"
Even I backed into the garage door when I was a teenager. lol. We've all done it! Just don't admit it!
I didn't have a garage door to back into... :(
If I backed into my garage door,my garage would fall down. so CAH what are your plans on the accord? if it was hit and is tearing up those suspension parts,it doesn't sound too good. time to look for another one. it sounds like it needs to be on a frame rack and be straightened.
i backed up into a stone wall and fucked the shit outta my car when i was 16 so it's all good lol
i have not backed into anything yet.....what can i say?....im a good driver
Im an asshole, my bad...
And on that note that I don't make much, When you are not married and have no kids, its amazing how much you can do.
:werd: I make $12 an hour and I'm getting some serious shit done to my car.Quote:

I don't make a whole lot,skilled labor here in the deep south doesn't mean shit,but i have the advantage of use of the machine shop and lots of scrap materials. but even if you don't make much it's just a matter of being able to use what you find creativly. thats the entire concept of rat rods, people would look for cheap cars and look for parts from other cars to build them, didn't matter if it was from the junkyard,a trash pile,where ever. thats why I believe those are the only true hot rods, buying parts from a catalog and bolting them together just isn't the same. a true rod has to have creativity as part of it. what we do with these accords is exactly the same,we have taken an obscure car no one really cares about,and found a ton of creative ways to make it cool. even with almost no after market support for the car. we are building japanese hot rods, it's no different then people taking a car they found in the bushes,puting a bunch of salvaged or fabricated parts on it,and making it run again. a lot of these kids with the ricer civics,have almost no talent,they buy bolt on crap,it's all exactly the same,and think it's cool. they don't have the creativity a lot of the people on this site have. I have to give some of them credit,because a few of them have built really cool one off stuff,or engines that really have a lot of power,but the majority of them have very little talent.the point is you can build whatever you want with enough time and a little bit of creativity.
creativity ftw, reminds me of my 1st 3gee, but i think most will think crap rather than creativityQuote:
