The Batmobile

[newpaddy3]

Hey Brett,

Does it slide to the left? Or does the rear slide out?

If it slides to the left, depending on how wide your wheels are already, I would think that getting wider wheels would help with this issue.

[Troy]

*sniff* You are likening me to bags of cement? *sniff*

[newpaddy3]

Troy, I love cement. Cement it like the best building product ever, I want a house made from it!

Don't need tile or a wooden floor, just get some polished cement and you're done!

It's pretty cheap too. Cement is awesome.

Did I mention that I really love cement?

[Troy]

I know. I can never be as good. *sigh*

[newpaddy3]

Yeah but if you build me a house made from cement that makes cement your bitch.

[Mikecivic78]

My last day of work for the year was today. After work I took the Civic to the track and wound it out to 8400 several times. Love the B16a!

Troy, ur earlier post is still in my head. ATM I'm considering springs/dampers vs full exhaust. In any case I am compelled to mod my car. I've been watching too much Best Motoring on the 'tube. Check out EK9 @ 05:55 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rYjiBQ9pp4B16B FTW!

[Vvvtec]

That's mad Mike! I bet that was tons of fun!! How did you go? Did you feel like you could push the car to its limits?

Also, kind of a side note, but with your Injen cai, did you notice any loss down low?

[Mikecivic78]

Maybe a little lost below 2000 revs, but a noticeble improvement in mid-range power. Once you get I/H/E (or internals, if thats what ur gonna do) get a Hondata( or equivalent) and tune. It'll help power in all of the rev range.

[beeza]

Nice one Mike!


How much is corner balance? I heard it's a bit exxy :S

$100.Brendon on here will do it.


Hey Brett,

Does it slide to the left? Or does the rear slide out?

If it slides to the left, depending on how wide your wheels are already, I would think that getting wider wheels would help with this issue.

If I'm turning left it slides outwards..I've got 215's but they are low as on tread but stil on rights it dosent slide out.

Lazy rainy dayzzzz

Thanks 4 the Great day Mike and lettin' me stay ova!

Your car is soooo good,so impressed,LOVE IT!!

[Mikecivic78]

Nice photos Brett, we had a great time, gotta do it again!

I'll put up my photos as soon as I can.

On the way back to Brisbane my driver's side power window stuffed up, it's off the channel. A bit of tint is scraped off the window, sucks. I'm looking into DIY fix. Hopefully I can fix it in daylight tomorrow. Anyway, that's my main focus atm.

However, I am stoked by the EM1's handling with the ek9 swaybar, I can really throw it into the corners ;)

[Mikecivic78]

Ok, I think I've sussed out how to fix the window. I'll take some photos, maybe do a DIY thread later.

Here are a couple of pics from Thursday.

[Mikecivic78]

Merry Xmas Beeza!

I fixed my window today, goes up and down better than eva. I took a few photos, so I hope I can prepare a DIY. All Civic coupes have this problem at some stage, so it would help some people out.

Rear sway bar is still shifting around. I cannot explain it- when it shifts back to even, I'll re-torque the bolts. But man, it corners so well! I've been taking corners hard today in the wet (no-one on the roads on Xmas day) and the rear never slips out. Like you said the other day, it is fun to drive. No under or oversteer, just point and shoot.

Just gotta get some better brake pads and I'm ready for Lakeside or QLD Raceway. Stoked!

[Troy]

Life is all about enjoying the corners! :D

Hope you guys all had a Merry Christmas! Cheers.

[beeza]

Great stuff Mike!!!

Yes QR,real soon mate :)

I just checked,the 4th of March mate!

How about a small mountain run like up Mt Tamborine and back. Then dinner and movie at my place. Will cook up a big pot of spaghetti bolognese or something. Sounds ok? Or someone have better idea?

[Vvvtec]

Sounds awesome Troy! :D

[Troy]

Video will be:

Best Motoring: Civic Type R Returns, Drift Off 2, Touge GP300, Ferrari 599 Unleashed.

I love watching it time and again!

$6 bargain bin at Super Cheap Auto! :D

[Vvvtec]

Haha what a bargain!

ANYTHING best motoring is excellent!

[Troy]

Quite a few Hondas in it too. Obviously the Civic Type R but they put it up against NSX, Integra, Civic.

Then in the Touge there is EK9 Civic and 2x S2000, makes for awesome watching. It's playing right now at work! I use it as my "test" movie to make sure DVD drives can read properly and play video. Heh. :)

I just watch it for free on youtube, I guess it saved me $6.

[Mikecivic78]

Actually Brett and I filmed our own 'Touge' in my EM1 out his way. Best videos ever!

Of course, for private viewing only, much like home-made porn :-P

Do want to see. Must give me a copy.

Home made touge that is, not porn. :thumbdwn:

And NOW we are upgrading from 3spd to 4spd auto gearbox! LOL

haha,

yeah i was re aligning the hood, front bumper n the doors to give it a cleaner look. but now i need to replace the door hinges because there sagging an not lining up to the door striker also need to get a few other bit n pieces.

[Troy]

Ah sounds like you're on a mission. Keep at it eh. :thumbsup:

Grand Villa!

EPIC.

Good job Father and Son :)

Great Avatar Timmy!

[Troy]

Yeah EPIC alright! You guys should check it out sometime.

And if you happen to be rich (which I am not) I think he is selling for about $150,000 or so. He spent 2 months in America zig-zagging across the country side before he finally decided on purchasing this one. Imported it to Australia. Converted to RHD himself. Rebuilt the V8. Took 2.5 years to go around Australia with mum on a working holiday. And he says there is so much more of Australia that he wanted to check out, he could easily spend another 2.5 years on the road again. Way to go I reckon.

Brett we could be Civic sedan clan brothers! It looks quite nice to me.

[Vvvtec]

Do it Troy!!!!

[Troy]

Yeah sure! Loan me a few grand will ya!

But seriously something about it looks really nice. I love the hatch in that shape but generally not the sedans... But the lip on the boot seems to work really well. What do you guys think of it?

Discuss.

[Vvvtec]

The EG sedan is one of the best sedan shapes ever. Lol. Lexus copied it with their is300.

Yes I'm a tad biased, but then again I owned one for 2 1/2 years, and it was SOO roomy inside. Plus, I've heard the sedan is only ~30kg heavier than the hatch.

Combined with a B18c and some good suspension it wouXld be an absolutely wicked car to drive! Plus, you'd still have tonnes of room in the back for the booster seats ;)

[Vvvtec]

I present to you:

Lexus is300

[jeremydawg]

if your a family man and still wanna have fun this is the car to get!

[Troy]

The IS200 is one of my all-time favourites! IS300 not quite as good in my opinion.

Family man all the way! Booster seats? Not yet, still got the proper baby seats for all.

[Vvvtec]

Yup! But you get my point :)

[Mikecivic78]

I wouldn't suggest either IMO.

is200 is notoriously under-powered and 300 only came out in auto.

Can't compare to 3-series. 325i+ are all better value for $$$ and are much better overall. Das Gut.

[Troy]

IS200 is definitely lacking in power. My mum used to have one (it was also auto). But as a car for cruising I thought it was great, handled quite well also.

So what would you suggest Mike? EM1? :D

[Mikecivic78]

So what would you suggest Mike?

Like I said before, BMW 3 series (E46).

323i/325i/330i all good. Can be had for the same price as the Lexus.

The is200 is a great handler, like u said. I hate the instrument cluster though, too busy and hard to read. Crap hard interior plastics I thought too. Why buy a Lexus when you can have a bimmer?

[Vvvtec]

You speak copius amount of truth there Mike.

I'm loving the Best Motoring video of the Bimmer with the F20c in it :D

[jeremydawg]

my gramps had a beemer. Arent they really expensive to maintain and fix?

[Vvvtec]

A Beemer is a motorbike just so you know Jer :P

[jeremydawg]

LOL! i thought you guys were talkin about a bmw car haha

[Vvvtec]

Yeah, we are lol.

Bimmer = BMW car
Beemer = BMW bike

:)

[jeremydawg]

my goodness. ive never heard the difference of those before, ive only ever heard beemer which was refering to the car... arghh who cares!!! never mind me lol

[Mikecivic78]

You speak copius amount of truth there Mike.

I'm loving the Best Motoring video of the Bimmer with the F20c in it :D Is that the one with the Japanese cowgirl in it? You can see up her skirt in that vid.


Yeah, we are lol.

Bimmer = BMW car
Beemer = BMW bike

Didn't know that. Thnx 4 the info.

[Vvvtec]

Haha yup that's the video!

And no worries, not many people realise, it's really just useless information :D

[Troy]

Yeah didn't know that about BMW either. Sorry man but BMW is just not my cup of tea at all, not a fan of any of them. Give me your EM1 if you go and upgrade aye.

That Lexus is 'Sexus is a Lexus' - So Nice.

[Troy]

Actually I tell a lie. I do like BMW, but only one shape. The 130i seems to have such a tough stance for a small 4-door hatch. RWD too.

http://www.privatefleet.com.au/images/upload/Image/bmw-130m-400x280.jpg

[Mikecivic78]

I don't mind the 1 series. Many Bimmer purists hate them. Personally I like the e46 coupe, like the one in the pic. Silver is also my fave colour.

However my mates dad (a BMW purist) told me about my EM1 that "silver is the colour that you get when you can't choose a colour". I guess for Bimmers it is the default colour though, and he's a bit of a tosser anyways.

[Troy]

What do you mean blocked?

[Gio]

I'm at work. That site is blocked.

[Troy]

Damper

* 2 cups self-raising flour
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 teaspoons sugar
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 3/4 cup milk

Mix the flour, salt and sugar together in a bowl. Cut the butter into the dry mixture. Add milk to make a soft dough. Knead lightly on floured board until smooth. Shape into round loaf. If using for bonfire damper, cut into smaller bitys which would wrap nicely on a stick.
If you want to make a loaf, brush with milk, and bake at 375 F/190C for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the loaf makes a hollow sound when tapped.

[Mikecivic78]

Sounds good, my car will be lowered by then.

[Troy]

I might not be up for this one, not sure.

But I have been thinking about the fail cruise to the pie shop, there's a NSW thread in upcoming events. I think we could show them how it's really done! Start near my place, up and over Tamborine (the way down behind is a sweet drive). Then it's not much more to Yatala Pies! Anybody interested in that sometime?

[Troy]

Fine I'll just have to do it by myself then :(

[Vvvtec]

[Troy]

well im meeting mike2! and if anyone wants to come along, get some food, chill out lemme know!

[Troy]

Damn... should have given me a bit more notice. I just started a few drinks for the afternoon... Not going anywhere!

I went in to SCA this arvo but you weren't there Mike! Looking for info on bungs, the guy showed me a few. Gonna remove my rear spoiler methinks. Just for some change.

Think I'm gonna hit up smash repairs either this week or next as well, get the front sorted properly again after the crash. She'll be looking good again! Then saving for low low lows!

[mikey72]

stop drinks, come along

[Vvvtec]

More drinks. Then go.

[mikey72]

coming alex?

[newpaddy3]

more drinks. Then go.

lol!!

[mikey72]

[newpaddy3]

Nah. Got work early tomorrow. Plus I'm contemplating gym tonight to get ripped for the ladies becasue I'm God's gift to women.

[mikey72]

so i guess no meet, just give mike his shit then

[Troy]

You talking to yourself buddy? :(

[newpaddy3]

That's the first sign of insanity.

[Troy]

Oh noes... methinks I did that long time ago.

[newpaddy3]

[Troy]

[mikey72]

[Troy]

Says Mikey

[Bludger]

is this the spam thread?

[Troy]

Better!

[newpaddy3]

is this the spam thread?

Why you spamming? Stay on topic :P

[mikey72]

to... pic... ?

[newpaddy3]

What are you on about Mikey?

[mikey72]

what is this topic you speak of?

[newpaddy3]

Neoplasm.

[mikey72]

Neoplasm is an abnormal mass of tissue as a result of neoplasia. Neoplasia ("new growth" in Greek) is the abnormal proliferation of cells. The growth of neoplastic cells exceeds and is not coordinated with that of the normal tissues around it. The growth persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli. It usually causes a lump or tumor. Neoplasms may be benign, pre-malignant (carcinoma in situ) or malignant (cancer).

In modern medicine, the term tumor means a neoplasm that has formed a lump. In the past, the term tumor was used differently. Some neoplasms do not cause a lump.

[newpaddy3]

Straight from wikipedia. lol.

[mikey72]

damn straight :D how are you patty?

[Troy]

Somebody was up early this morning...

[mikey72]

it's called work troy.

[Troy]

Why up so early though, what you doing? Still at super cheap? Or two jobs or ???

[newpaddy3]

Nah he's just getting in at that time from being a hooker...

[Troy]

Ohhhhh... I shuddered.

[beeza]

hey Brett,

what material are you using for the intake? is it all PVC?

http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy25/beeza4/100_1476.jpg

Yup,all PVC Mark.

A 80mm straight bit into a 45 degree angled piece then a rubber joiner.

Just used a bit of silicone on the joint.

[Troy]

Hey Brett can you explain the point of the peanut butter bottle to me?

[mikey72]

im doing 2 jobs, but sca is off the cards for the moment.

[newpaddy3]

Peanut butter bottle? WTF...

[beeza]

Hey Brett can you explain the point of the peanut butter bottle to me?

That breather valve on the valve cover is a 2 way system - air goes in at low rpm's to cool the valvetrain and pushes air out under pressure.

Normally the blow back goes back into the intake arm,it is done this way for emissions.

There is no need for it to do that and I believe it's extra 'energy' that is not needed.

By running the hose into a vented catchcan,the air can go in and can vent out under pressure no worries.

My only concern was air will not be easily going in to cool the valvetrain at low rpm without that pressure behind it BUT it is not a problem,my engine does not heat up,the set up works fine.

[mikey72]

anyone wanna come for a drive tomorrow, passenger or your own car? I'm going to go do a cruise run to get times for a upcoming event. :)

[Mikecivic78]

Nice anime avatars Mikey. Maybe not tomorrow. However. the next JDMST meet is on this Monday (the18th).
I will have literally put in my new suspension that day, so I might be keen.

How 'bout everyone else?

[Troy]

Ah hah finally Mikey, getting onto it. Sadly I am out this weekend altogether, my granny arrived from England the other day and had her 80th on the plane! So we are going to be having quite the "family" weekend.

But keen for the cruise itself :D

[mikey72]

i might just go off what google map times say :)

[Vvvtec]

Lol Mikey I would have come! But I'm driving a V8 Supercar today :D

[mikey72]

nice nice!

[Troy]

Pics or ban!

[mikey72]

troy, were's my dash mat mate?

[Troy]

Did you want me to order you one?

[newpaddy3]

Isn't it the other way around...?

[Troy]

Pat have you been drinking again? :D

[newpaddy3]

LOL, did you see those comments I made?

Nah I havn't. I thought you wanted to buy the dash mat?

[Troy]

Yes it's the other way around, that's the joke. But now he is not at SCA anymore so I might just have to find one myself.
