Looking good. top man!

[mushroom_toy]

Thanks lol.

On another not anyoen know how to check timing without a timeing light? I think when I changed my seal I might have accidently retarted my timing a little. My powerband moved 0.o....It feels faster....just different.

Ok well guys some bad news....got a littel rust. Only a time bit on my car period, which hopefully I will take care of tomorrow, but the rear bumper support is toast, im gonna try to sand it and primer and paint, but it may be too far gone.











As far as the surface rust on the car, im gonna take care of it tomorrow primer it and paint it hopefully.

ekk :X

good look with the repairs man

btw how the hell did u get that suport off all i could get off his my bumper cover lol

[mushroom_toy]

Theres 2 bolts on either side under the car lol that bolt to the frame. you have to take the 2 off under the car on either side, and the rear bumper with cover just slides right off.

Ooof Man I would just run to the nearest pick n pull and grab a new non-rusty support, that one needs alot of work.

yeah just head out to the j/y and get one that dosnt need that much work.

[A18A]

at least thats replaceable without having to cut & weld anything lol

[mushroom_toy]

Yeah unfortunately cant fix the rust today its windy as crap outside so no easy way to spray paint. Also unfortunately I dont have the money for a bumper support right now lol, or else I would already be at the Junkyard. XD

Thanks lol.

theres really no way to check it, you can do it by ear by playing with the dizzy but i dont think thats a good fix. if you want i have a craftsman timeing light that has been hardly used that i will sell for cheep if your interested

[mushroom_toy]

Eh I dont have any money lol. Its running good, I just want to make sure my timing is right, I think I might have retarted it when I changed my cam seal, because my powerband changed, and my car feels faster...

three things you do not want>>> preignition (pinging), high draw starting(acts just like a half dead battery) dieseling (continues to run after you shut it off)
all of those are caused by over advanced ign timing>>>
retarded timing will just make you run rich, sluggish, and powerband moves up the rpm scale a bit (sometimes overheating can be caused by either over or under advanced)
Take all of that into consideration when you do this, just loosen up the dizzy and let the car idle.. note the position of the bolts in reference to the slotted opening(s).. move the dizzy in the direction of advancing . Move it a little at a time and test drive it, you will notice immediatly a crispier response to the throttle, but... look for any of the symtoms in the first paragraph, if any of those exist you need to retard it just a tiny bit until it stops those symptoms.
It is really not that hard, I know it is scary but if you pay close attention to having NO AUDIBLE preignition.. you will fine. If you do have pinging, you can use premium fuel as long as it is not constant pinging.. reap the benefits of using less throttle opening to obtain rpm and power.
Preignition will burn a hole in your pistons, damage head, head gaskets, valves, valve seats.... Unless you run WOT all the time you should be ok, I have not see a Honda yet that did not like a wee bit more ign advance than factory specs.

[mushroom_toy]

Well I think mine is retarted then, cause my powerband moved a bit.

Well guys got a good bit of work done yesterday and today. I still have two small rust spots under neath the taillight skin bottoms, but I can take care of them with the bumper on, so Im not fooling with them till maybe next week. Here are pics of some miracle goop that I bought called rust converter....I have to say I am amazed and it worked great. Afterwards I primered and painted for now. Hopefully this will last until way on down the road till I get my car painted. I decided to salvage my bumper as well until I get some money to get a new one. It should hold up for a long time to come though now. Sure does look like it though! ON TO THE PICS...UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE (COUGH cHEESE COUGH) WHO LIKE TO KEEP PEOPLE IN MISERY!

The miracel stuff:


After rust was lightly sanded, and the stuff was applied and allowed to cure for over 24 hours.

After primer:





After car color paint and black ob bumper:

Last pics of rust repair, as well as some more cutaways I did...these are not so good though cause ive switched from photoshop to GIMP. Cheers,.

omg, superman x ray vison, dude you need to do some pictures of Jenifer Garner. no but seriously..
that was wicked cool ..
that was some serious rust, I dont know how you will keep the trunk striker adjusted, mine isnt even rusted and it keeps going out of wack, I bend it back.. lol
WTF is up with that muffler, did it rust that fast, I thought you just put it on less than a year ago.
Something else that works miracles on rust, is a spray can called ONE STEP, it turns surface rust into primer, I have used it with great success on other cars.NICE WORK dude.

[mushroom_toy]

Appreciate it man. Yeah the muffler come off another car before I got it and that was where the hangar was..Stupid rust lol. Oh well dont really care about that part that much as my pre pipe after the cat is rusted at the flange and has an eraser size hole in it so I have an exhaust leak now. Doh. Oh and on my car the striker area is not rusted just that little piece right before it, I ripped all of the brittle medal from that area so only metal that is stable is there, the rust didnt get to the striker area thank god. Mine stays in place fine lol. Yeah I saw the spray stuff but this was 2 bucks cheaper at the parts store and I like the idea of brushing it on since I didnt want it to get everywhere since this stuff discolors regular paint.Thanks for the props man we really got to meet up someday, I want to see your car. XD

looks goods

[mushroom_toy]

Thank you thank you.

[2oodoor]

think anybody actually noticed?
hard to say...

im must be just posting so the pages dont load up next time

[labeledsk8r]

the rust converter crap is some good stuff for a cheep quick fix (not for long term) i just did the entire underbody of my cutty with a spray can version then hit it with 2 coats of flat black to try and lengthen the life of my rusting underbody lol

[mushroom_toy]

^Actually I think it might be cheaper and more long erm that a quick fix lol. I did sand away what rust I could on the car, then after the converter did 2 coats primer and 2 coats color. Well see I guess.

well yeah i guess on some aplications... your rust wasnt that bad.. i think its only a temp fix for my cutlass... lol it will slow the rust way down though. it just really matters how far gone it is before you catch it. wich you cought it early in its stages

[2oodoor]

ok now It looks like Im taliking about the work...not the case
The special photos ! hell I never saw anything quite like it before, I must be the only one. those were cool.
