I'm done coaching for the season, though I've still got a few committments to tie up.

I'd love to take it for a spin. Did you ever do anything with the exhaust???

The other problem with swapping mine out is I don't necessarily want to go to OBDI. I might end up moving in the next 14 months - still up in the air, but if I do I can't have a swapped car because of inspections. I've actually bailed on a few decent hondas once I found out that I couldn't keep it if I move.

Ah, i see. The exhaust was done on tuesday so its sounding pretty nice now. Bit a mods since you saw it last as well.

If you want to stay obdii, then buy an m52 or s52.

Bumper looks good on the car too.

Exhaust sounds great Tony. I need a 6 cylinder so that I can get an exhaust that sounds like that.

they look good, not much of a drop though, the front bumper seems a little to high off the ground for my liking

Been on the ball with odd jobs and such and have picked up a few new items as well as a lot of work done to the ti.



Thermostat housing replacement as well as coolant system flush.

Valve cover sanding and repaint

Removed and sold the M3 brakes. Installed a new drivers control arm with good ball joints. Car drives straight now and the wheel is centered again.

nice, it matches the spoiler I think Wolferj started a thread on plastic repair on bumpers, might want to check that out, TBH, I was kinda pulling for you to do a custom diffuser instead of going with stock parts but it looks good nonetheless

Heh. Once i get the new mounts in and possibly a new clutch, you can go tear him up. Clutch stiill grabs but, its a ton of heat on an old flywheel and m44 clutch.

I think the yard is called northwood autoparts or something like that. The car is actually thoroughly taken apart but still has many good parts. Im very much interested in asking him if hed trade interiors with me, though my car has much better quality. Its the blue/black combo, not heated, so itll cut the weight which i love. I told him id be back for a lot more parts, likely the sways for the right price, interior, black panels, rear speaker, etc.
