Official Colorado Meet!!!

[racerx]

I'm down for that, if I'm not working...

Just got a new job at T-Mobile, as a customer service rep, so if you got T-Mobile you can call and harass me.
sounds like a good job, great pay, and loaded with benefits. (i.e. 2000 minutes, unlimitied txt and pics, and free mobile-to-mobile for 9.95/month. Oh and I can get that for my wife too! )

So yeah, if I'm not in training that day, I'll definately be there. My hours are 4:30-1am, so at the very least I could go early in the day.

[superaccord]

so basically, i put the spring on the cup/lip of the strut, then use the body/weight of the car to compress it? Or did i mis-understand.

Yea, i techincally havent orderd the header yet, im going to MAKE them check their warehouse to make sure they have it READY to ship to me. No "we have to order it from the supplier" BS

You wont have to compress the new spring on the new strut. You can just assemble it and install it. the new spring is shorter so it doesn't need compressing.

If youre working we will have to get an earlier meet going... kuz you and dan have to be there! Everyone has to see the new accord lol

I found someone to weld up all my exhaust (even with a test pipe ), the welding shop teacher at my school. He said he would do it one day on my off hour, its gonna be frickin awesome... cant wait, now i just need to order 1 180* bend, 1 90*bend, and 2 10ft sticks of 2.25" OD Mandrel Bent pipe, get my test pipe (which test pipe did you buy matt, and matt? lol) and im set. Then i need to pay busted blue for a couple goodies im going to be buying off him

[racerx]

I bought the same one you did, but fitted for a prelude. And mine doesn't have any of that O2 sensor hole crap goin' on. I would expect neither does yours. Even if it does, I'm sure your welder can plug it for you.

I also have one of these:

Unfortunately, I bought this one first and found out it wouldn't fit... mislabel? Maybe there's a difference in models of the prelude?
Well anyway, if anyone needs one, let me know. I want to get rid of it.

**EDIT** Ok, now he displays the correct fitment, even though it's listed under 88-91 prelude...
"Brand New Civic 88-00 Integra 90-01 High Flow Cat"

[halxi]

Ive found several that are supposedly for the 3rd gen, however they have the o2 sensor hole crap... so im a little curious as to what will actually fit, ill have to talk to superaccord and find out which one he bought, since he has the same header i orderd.

[superaccord]

Nate. I can't find the one I bought. It looks like this one. But this isn't for our cars.90-93 cat
Btw: what are you plans for tomorrow Nate? I'm off all day. Going to be working on the car until about 6pm.

[halxi]

i work all day, until 5 at least. I might get sent home early though, this guy jason has been running his mouth way too much lately... and im not going to put up with it tomorrow, if i lose my job, so be it.

But im free afterwards until 10-ish when ill have to be home since i have class monday. Are you on YIM right now?

[racerx]

I think Dan and I will actually be able to make it.
...but be forewarned, he might bring his sorta girlfriend, Sarah Marie..... oi...
I won't say anything right now, but I'll be glad to hear your opinions of her later. lol

Anywho, did you end up getting that cat replacement? You could always just e-mail the seller and ask if it actually has the O2 sensor hole, or ask if you could get one without it. Shouldn't be a probably. Those power sellers are usually pretty quick with their responses.

[Deadhead]

What is a "sorta girlfriend?" lol....

anywho, I need to know exactly where we are meeting sometime soon to see if i can make it and request the day off of work.

And it looks as though quite a few of us are going to have some mods done to their cars.

I just got some rims, cat back exhuast, clearcoated my hood and roof (still not done, but hopefully soon :P) and i painted my bumper and bumper blinkers.

BUT, my fender is still banged up.... And i think it's beyond repair, i probably need a new one as well as both corner lights....

Anyone have a pair they could bring that i could buy off them cheap?

[racerx]

well, Sarah Marie (not just Sarah, as I'm corrected) has a boyfriend in Maine. They've known each other for a few years before she moved here, and they started dating just before she moved. They've been "going out" for about a year now, but they've seen each other for about a week of that.

Well, she met Dan a while ago, and Dan started liking her and they hung out all the time for months. Then, they expressed their interests in each other. Sarah Marie almost wanted to be faithful to AJ (whom I have my own opinions about...)...

So, basically, Sarah Marie "loves" AJ, but "really likes" Dan.
In other words, she wants to have her cake and eat it too. And that's exactly what's happening.

And both guys know about each other, and neither has enough self-respect to tell the girl to pick one or the other. it's sickening.

Anywho, has anyone heard from albert lately? i tried calling him a few times and left some messages, but he hasn't returned the call. i thought he wanted his stock rims and tires back... oh well. guess i'll give him another month or 2...

[halxi]

i talked to superaccord on the phone for 20min or so today, he said albert moved to pueblo and is still getting all settled in. Also, i have BIG plans for my car that nobody really knows about yet... minus superaccord that is.

Well my sunroof is CONSTANTLY leaking now, right where the hinge is, im going to buy a new seal, if that doesnt fix it im going to buy some silicone and do it that way. I am so sick of fucking water leaking all over both seats when it rains.

Well, just cause im excited about everything i now have planned ill tell everyone.

Going to be paying busted blue for:
- strut tower bar (custom from justin)
- cup holders
$200 shipped

Then with my next paycheck in 2 weeks, im going to order rims
nippon f2's
they are knock offs of the slipstreams, which is kind of sad, but they are like $200 less for about another 1lb of rim. 16x7, then new tires... cant wait!

too bad i still need a bell housing and alternator LOL

[Deadhead]

Hey, i just got some pics posted in the pics section here....

check it out and comment on it damnit!

pce

[halxi]

yea looks clean

just get Saturday the 29th off no matter what.

The meet will be that day, we just dont know where yet

[racerx]

Dude that's awesome! I can't wait to see all that stuff put together. Those wheels ought to be sweet lookin too. Any idea on tires?

looks like I'll be able to stay out all night too. Doesn't look like I'm working that night. Woo-hoo!

Oh, btw, my wife is leaving this weekend. She's goin to North Carolina to visit her family. *coughs*

[Deadhead]

Well, the tires on them right now are not in good shape, the front are okay for probably another 10k miles, and the rear one's are in dire need of replacement.

I went to Big-O up here and they wanted to charge me 110 bucks to change the tires between the rims, balance them, and then mount 4 of them.

[halxi]

*cough* party at matts house *cough*

errr..... yyyeeeaaaaaa lol

im hoping ill have my drop springs sometime this week. I dont have school or work weds, no school thurs, but work at 3, and no school friday, but work at 5:30. Hopefully matt and i can get everything done in a day.

[racerx]

what are everyone's plans this weekend? *coughs* i must have allergies...

well, if you don't get it done, you can always roll down here and we'll use the equipment on base. I'll be putting new piston rings and bearings in my prelude this week, if they ever arrive!

[halxi]

i have to work

2-8 friday, 9-5:30 saturday, and 9-5 sunday

[racerx]

alright, here's that long delayed picture of my engine bay with engine grounds:

[Deadhead]

wow... that's pretty sweet looking, i need to do SOMETHING to my engine compartment eventually lol.

[racerx]

installed SS braided clutch line today. i use valvoline synthetic brake fluid for the job. awesomeness in shifting now.

[halxi]

sweet! I think the syncros in this tranny are going out, that or i need to change the oil in it AGAIN. It's getting fairly difficult to find 1st, and reverse sometimes.

SO the meet is october 29th, is everyone down for some cityscape pics or? If not we could meet in Castle Rock or something, im sure there are some sweet photo ops there as well.

Anybody have any ideas? kuz im out
