The Batmobile

[Troy]

No worries will leave them then. He dropped the price pretty easily too. Plus he is newcomer (can't make a for sale thread) and is refusing to at least make an ebay auction, and demanding direct deposit only. Doesn't leave me anything to cover my own hairy bottom in case of a sale gone wrong.

On the positive side, I am looking at ordering brakes soon. :)

On the negative side, it will cost me lots. $$$ Someone donate for a good cause? :D Also clutch seems to have a leak somewhere. Suddenly felt different the other day and when I checked the reservoir it was empty, I could still see the fluid in the line, just none in the reservoir. So I topped it up again, pumped it a bit but it's still doing weird things. Need to get it checked out and leak fixed properly, then probably new clutch fluid properly bled.

Ah well, it goes with having an old model car I guess.

[Mikecivic78]

Hey Troy. I'm gonna do front brakes soon. I've found that you can buy RDA rotors from ebay for about 120 a pair. Pads wize, I just go Bendix. Nice 'n cheap. Unless your setup is really hardcore, it's all you need.

Unfortunately it seems your car is in the twightlight of its life it seems. Maybe it's time to say goodbye to it. Do you know what I mean? After a certain mileage/age a car becomes a major liability.

[mikey72]

get a euro!

[mikey72]

get a euro!

I'm with this guy, he knows what he is talking about!

[Mikecivic78]

These are mine tomorrow. With EK9 passenger rail and low driver's rail. (I'm 6 foot, so it helps :)

[Vvvtec]

Niiiiiice pickup! What did you get them for?

[Mikecivic78]

1.2k all up.

[Vvvtec]

That's a good price!

They'll look great once you clean em up a bit, bolsters look great.

[newpaddy3]

That's a good price!

They'll look great once you clean em up a bit, bolsters look great.

The backhanded compliment. You have learned well young Skywalker.

[Vvvtec]

What?

[Mikecivic78]

That's a good price!

They'll look great once you clean em up a bit, bolsters look great.

Yea, their condition is very good all round. Driver's has a slight imperfection on left shoulder from being transported from Japan, but overall they are very schmick. Might need a slight clean, but they're complete plug and play for the EM1. Stocked!

[Troy]

Unfortunately it seems your car is in the twightlight of its life it seems. Maybe it's time to say goodbye to it. Do you know what I mean? After a certain mileage/age a car becomes a major liability.

I know exactly what you mean, but sadly I am not in a position financially to do anything about it right now.

Just need to make my break with work and start getting a more fitting salary for the work I do. Definitely should happen within the next two years I reckon.

[Mikecivic78]

I've got the sr3s! So far I've just put in one. Gotta get onto insurance and engineering just to be safe, then I'll chuck in the other one.
http://i56.tinypic.com/veotud.jpg
Warning if you want sr3s, they are tight in the hip area. I have a size 32 waist and it's ok, but a bit tight. Turning around when reversing is a bit of a bitch. With the low driver's rail, I have an extra 10 or so cm between me and the roof (head used to nearly touch the roof in the stock seats).

As uncompromising as they are, I like the fact that now I'm low to the floor and feel spot on in touch with the handling.

[Vvvtec]

That's looks awesome!! And yup they're bloody tight, but feels so good!

[newpaddy3]

What?

Backhanded compliment, it's to do with picking up chicks haha.

[mikey72]

don't think i'd fit in sr3s. :(

[Troy]

Maybe not me either... hmmm. But I do want to sit lower. When I sit in my Accord the right side of my hair is hitting the roof and the left side isn't because that's where the sunroof gap is. So I kind of slouch a bit which is uncomfy. Maybe if I just shaved it completely off...

[newpaddy3]

Maybe if I just shaved it completely off...

Your roof? Make a bigger sunroof...

[Troy]

I meant my hair.

[UkuleleGod]

I remember looking at this thread quite some time ago, big things have happened with your car Beeza!
Its looking good, and it is forcing me to consider getting off my ass and getting more done to my little EK hatch.
It looks like you guys in Brissy have a good little group coming together, i'd like to see something more like that in Sydney.

Keep it up!

[Troy]

Extra lovin' for Brett's car. It's so good!

[mikey72]

somebody slap me. considering getting an EK hatch. but i dont wanna lose the cl9. WHAT DO I DO?

[Troy]

Get both.

I love the EK sedan. Hatch is nice too but sedan is preferable. At first I never did, but it's all Brett's fault, he has such a fine example you can't help but like them! :D

[Vvvtec]

Mikey. Ek with a K24. Best of both worlds :)

[mikey72]

Yes both...

Or someone rear end the CL9 so I have a half cut :P

[Troy]

I'm sure it could be arranged... :D

[Mikecivic78]

Hey guys,

Who's coming to the annual OH meet next Sunday?

Put yo hands up :wave:

[mikey72]

meeeeeeeeeeee

[Troy]

Wedding anniversary takes precedence. Oh well. Plus my car isn't for showing off at the moment.

[Troy]

So Mike how are the seats going? Still red enough for you?

What does Sal think of them?

[Mikecivic78]

Seats are sick as! I'm lovin' them so much. Sally doesn't mind them, no complaints so I am happy.

They make a big difference in handling and feel. Feels like I'm in a race car now :)

Gotta get them mod-plated this week, possibly tomorrow after work.

[Troy]

Feels like I'm in a race car now :)

Because race car!

[Mikecivic78]

so awesome :)

[Gio]

Because race car!

[beeza]

Loool

[Troy]

QLD! Great game :)

[Gio]

Seriously don't even bother with rugby league now. But we smashed them, lol. Tasmania would be a better team than NSW

[Troy]

Yeah that's the third game I've watched this year. On average I might watch say, 4 games a year?! State Of Origin and also Grand Final.

[mikey72]

Tasmania would be a better team than NSW

[Mikecivic78]

wow, full on change at the property!

Is that a road to the dam?

[Troy]

Looks like it is going behind Brett's caravan up the hill. Loving the little fire thingo...

Just need the carpark smoothed out a bit more and we can all park there when we cruise down to yours bud! Well I could park anywhere with my current 4WD spec, but Brett it looks pretty difficult for your slammed beast! Cruise to Brett's!

And what's this, some more doggie lovin! Gotta bring the boys down again sometime soon, nothing better than a good visit to the Australian bush. They talk about it forever afterwards!!!

[Tai]

I hope you have been worming your dogs often.

[beeza]

Yeah it's been all go here.

Wait till U guys see it!

Come on out! :)

Why is that Tai?

[Troy]

So they don't get worms I guess?

[Tai]

Well considering they are in the bushlands often they are more prone to ticks/fleas and diseases.

Don't tell me you havent wormed them since you've owned them???

[Gio]

Probably less prone for disease. A lot less. Ticks and fleas, check.

He's Beau's dog,beau took him to the vet and had everything done he said but I will check to make sure,cheers mate (I'm sure it has..)

I tell ya he's one tuff dog!!! His Mum and Dad are tuff bushdogs,especially crystal his Mum,she's never had anything ever and when I go over to visit she's always got a couple of massive ticks on her.

Woody had 25+ parasidic ticks on him when he took of down the street when he was very young.

He was found down the street,he couldn't walk.

He stayed overnight at the vets.

He came good but it was close they said.

He is one TUFF Fella! :)


btw I posted this from my caravan (for the first time eva).

My mate Scotty is stayin' for a while,using his computer.

[mikey72]

Guess what!

[Troy]

Guess what!

No. Just tell us.

[Mikecivic78]

Great meet today guys. I' had a great time b-blastin and driving the Bat. I take my hat off to you mate, after practicing and studying my handling I can say hands down that u r car's suspension setup is spot on. It feels awesome, so predictabe and clinical. It inspires confidence in the corners. The EM1 is my daily streeter, hence my sussy setup. I think it a good compromise for Brissie driving. but your's is set up for the track. Tweed valley was is also so different to mountain roads my way, you have so much room on your road.

It was an awesome journey on the quadbike today. That thing is fun and it was good to discover the property on a properly levelled track. I admire woody for his perseverance, we fanged it and he still kept up.

Here's some pics:

Mt warning from the top of the property. It was such a clear day today. I loved the nature cleansing me of my cold.

Nice pics Mike:thumbsup: I had a fun drive yesterday an was good too catch up with you n Scotty, gotta do it again sometime...
Ill hopefully have my oil leak under control by the end of today, i ordered a new valve cover gasket an some gasket goo an ill check the camshaft seal for splits while im at it.

[Mikecivic78]

Gotta do it again for sure Tim.

Hopefully the leak is only from the rocker cover, but double check the cam seals just to be sure.

[mikey72]

No. Just tell us.

Party pooper!

Car's paid off!

[Troy]

Yesterday was work day! You guys are mean, I didn't even know! But couldn't have made it anyway. Har har har.

Need some slammage for Accord.

Mike well done in paying off the debt, feels good man eh!

[beeza]

Thanks for the pics Mike,it was a Great day Indeed.

Cheers Tiimmy!

Best time of the year atm,it's soooo clear U can see Far as!

Come out again,feel free to join in Mikey and well done,paid off! :)


Are U keen to go racing out the track Jack?

[Troy]

Because race car!

[Mikecivic78]

Man, u guys gotta come out to Mt Nebo Rd. Went for an awesome run today.

[Troy]

Keen.

[Mikecivic78]

:thumbsup: like
Keen.

[Mikecivic78]

Gotta come out there Brett. It's the Tweed Valley Way of the Brisbane area, and then some. It's Tweed Valley Way on steroids.

[mikey72]

alex u never smiley back on fb.

[beeza]

Gotta come out there Brett. It's the Tweed Valley Way of the Brisbane area, and then some. It's Tweed Valley Way on steroids.

I bet it isn't :)

Yes,will definately come up mate!

Beautiful day today aye! It's the weekend WOOT WOOT

[Troy]

Been a very busy week at work. Love the weekend aye Brett, so good!

Somehow though, I managed to fit in sourcing a replacement clutch hose and got that all fixed up, so no more leaks now. Also today put on RDA slotted rotors pair on the front. 20 minute run on the highway with just light braking to start bedding them in, and noticed a difference already! They grab so much more quicker than any brakes I've ever had on my car before. Once they are fully bedded in (1000km I hear) I'm gonna give them some serious stopping use and see how good they go!

[Troy]

Just saw a sticker on the back of a skip removal truck:

"Satisfaction guaranteed or your rubbish returned"

Hahahaha :D

[beeza]

hahahaha

Great job on the brakes,gota love good stopping power!!

I got some front wheel bearings installed,$400 all up.Car feels solid as.But the small movement in the wheel is still there,worked out the tie rod end just needs an adjustment,then a wheel alignment.

Oh well,the bearings feel great anyways! :)

Ordered 10mm of these (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNZhLb_wWhk)

And gettin' a nrg steering wheel finially WOOHOO!

[Mikecivic78]

wheel spacers! Right on!

Goin' for that hellaflush look eh?

[beeza]

haha,I always new the car needed em' after putting on the 195's.215's sat right..

These things are cheap at $120,I found out it was a bit exxy to do this,but this is the answer!

I will/should gain a bit of stability being a bit wider.We'll see if it's noiceable..

Should look much better,may have to tuck the strip of metal under the fender there,it's gonna be close/tucked!! WOW!! :)

[Mikecivic78]

Hey Beez.

I've been reading up on handling, and I've dialled back my rear dampening. With a coupe or a sedan, you have that rear end which makes a difference with weight distribution. You can really feel that rear. I realised this from driving my mate's Del Sol, it has stock sussy and swaybars but seems fairly well balanced. It's much more like an EG hatch than an EK sedan or coupe.

I dialed the rear back 1/4 and it feels good. 1/2 front, 1/4 firm rear. At low speed suburban driving, a firmer rear lets you throw it into corners at low speed real easy, but at speed, you want more balance. Since I did this, it feels much more like your car. I'm really enjoying the car for what it is, and lovin' it.

As I always try to say, enjoy what you've got, and if it ain't broke, dont fix it ;)

[h3nno]

Haha those pictures are so old!! The batmobile has come a LONG way! :D

And that's the spit for sure.

[Mikecivic78]

OMG, Altezzas. How tacky :-S

[beeza]

haha lol they weren't altezza's but...retro stylez!

That's great to hear U are enjoying what U got Mike!

:)

[Troy]

Beeza is a glorious beacon of light...

Definitely think the Bat is looking better now than with those lights... and the wing! Good job Brett, always improving the car! Step by step and enjoying it as you go!

[Mikecivic78]

That's great to hear U are enjoying what U got Mike!

:)

4 sure mate.... my latest suspension setting is awesome, so much balance, w/ no more uneasy weight transfer. I can take corners more confidently on my fave mountain Rd (20km/h higher than before!)

Bad news is my front lip suffered a nasty scrape on my terrible driveway yesterday. Some of the visible front part paint is flaking revealing black plastic ... sigh. Guess it's time to sulk :(

[[SDCTVE]]

hey Brett, post some new pics up, curious to see what it looks like now.

[mikey72]

Hey mike my cousin owns a mobile touch up and paint repair business, want me to get his number for you?

[beeza]

Thanks Troy,the journey continues! :)

Yeah,I've been a 'glorious beacon of light' for a while now...it suits me anyways hahaha

If ya scrapin' Mike,ya drivin' it properly hehehe GO HARD OR GO HOME! LOL

[Mikecivic78]

I just called him, nice fella. I'm gonna send him some photos and we'll take it from there.

Unfortunately he says he's only woking at the GC (not Bris), so if I get him to do it, could we possibly arrange to meet at ur place some time? He says his place is a no go.

[Troy]

Just not the weekend 27th-28th August for me, I got two birthdays to celebrate - yes they are two days apart!!! 1st Birthday and then 4th birthday. Yikes.

So far then, we got the weekend coming up (possibly too soon notice for some) - 20-21 August

Or 2.5 weeks away, 3-4 September

Any more than that is too far away for me to think about right now. But keen if it is that far away.

[beeza]

Woody and the black duck we brought up since real little just became best friends!!

They just play together...Woody is learning how lol

So many lives have been lost on TVW..lots of crosses but more than anything lots of minor accidents lol I've seen a few and new dents in the guardrails/part of the guardrail missing,it happens a lot I reckon aye :)

Thank U.

I drove Timmy's car today,man it was FUN,WOW! Too good! :)

[TbM]

Must be a cool duck if it lets a dog play bite it lol looks like hes having a good munch on its neck lol.

Just notice that 2 of the people would of only been 12-13 years old when they died on that corner which is unfortunate, bit too young to go....

[beeza]

Yeah true a bit young aye..but each soul has a 'karmic resonance profile'.

They are learning to play lol I think the duck is lonely after losing his/her partner 2 months ago.

[Troy]

Brett you need to explain to the duck that Woody is a dog. And it probably wouldn't work out long term.

[beeza]

I think the ducky would be Happy with a short term thang! :)

[mikey72]

What if they try really hard? With IVF they could have a happy little family :)

[Troy]

Hmmmm, can't seem to find a vomit icon.

Looks like it is trying to play dominos with the other teeth. Ouchie.

[beeza]

I got the same thing Mikey,impacted moulers.

Mine dont hurt yet but look the same.

I had a tooth pulled a week ago,just getting over that..

Your teeth look in good shape mate.

yep so that xray shows the wisdom tooth i didnt get pulled out today. that is the other side, the side that will require surgery. yay.

[beeza]

Oh joy.

Ah well,can always be worse mate.

[Troy]

Yep, I've had one removed also, and all the other three require surgery. Just can't afford it. So my teeth randomly hurt a lot, but most of the time it's OK for now...

[beeza]

Get em' out if they are hurtin' mate I reckon..

[Troy]

Sure just send a cheque my way...

[beeza]

Kool,it's,Unit 2,34 F*ck that! lol

How's work mate? :)

[Troy]

Too busy for OzHonda... I shouldn't be here right now. Got plenty to do both in the workshop and onsite visits...

(I'll just claim this as my lunch break haha).

[beeza]

Timmy was out cruizin' and just dropped in.

Car looks better again mate,so Nice! =]

cheers mate, did you still want the rays wheel nuts? im thinking of ordering some new ones...

[beeza]

I would like to try em'..they may look tacky lol

Commodore? Why?

[mikey72]

Well, coming off of my P's next year, so i'm looking for something with abit more power and it would be nice it have a new solid car to set myself up for then ten years or so.

[Vvvtec]

Fair enough man. But a Holden? That's asking for problems lol

[Mikecivic78]

Well, coming off of my P's next year, so i'm looking for something with abit more power and it would be nice it have a new solid car to set myself up for then ten years or so.

Your SS will halve in value in 2 years. Owning a Holden for 10 years = lots and lots of things to replace and fix. The reliabilty and quality is just not there.

I would suggest something Jap and turbo. WRX/s15 or an ITR. You don't have wife and kids, just get a coupe.

[beeza]

Car looks Hot Timmy.

[mikey72]

SS is fun ok?

[Troy]

SS is fun ok?

You're in the wrong forum for this. The only one I'd let you go for would be Falcon turbo 6cyl. Like FPV version. And make it a ute.

[Vvvtec]

F that. My mates dad (this guy is loaded) had a $90,000 Monaro that was an utter lemon straight off the factory floor. Clutch failed 3 times in the 3 years he owned it. Sold it. Bought an R8 next. Same thing. For the price you pay for a brand new car, the thing was utter shit. 90% of the car is plastic, and the finish of the interior is disgustingly poor. Not to mention the abundance of terribly workmanship in the exterior of the car.

And we're not talking about the average family sedan here. These are top-of-the-line flagship models.

I don't mean any offense Mikey, at the end of the day it's your money so spend it how you wish :) But I GAURANTEE you, the 'fun' of the SS will fade very quickly when it's giving you constant grief. Mike's advice was best: stick to something japanese.

If your after mire power/torque, how about a Legend? Or even the Accord with the big 3.6 V6 ;)

[eg5civic]

Lol something more fun? How is an SS fun? Unless you determine fun as an overpriced fuel guzzling v8 people mover which has been given the title of a "sporty" car. As said above, resale value is shite with them.

I'm sticking with jap cars. Bought myself an rb25det c33 laurel. And I'll have fun smoking ss's 15 years newer in something with half the capacity

[beeza]

Got any pics of that Dan?

[Mikecivic78]

@ Mikey, Alex is right. That story about the Monaro (or similar stories about GM) are not at all uncommon. Falcons are more reliable and their new Coyote V8 shits on the SS. Still, both GM and Ford are unreliable compared to Jap cars.

What's wrong with the Accord? That car will last you 10 years easily with next to no issues. You haven't even done 1 proper mod yet. In stock form it's a boat. Do some handling mods and you will be smiling.

Sure, I love V8s. But I wouldn't get one due to high fuel, rego and insurance. It is a complete waste of money. 10 years ago, maybe, when rego was cheap and petrol was 70c a litre. Do the math, get the quotes. You'll be living with the pares for the next 10 years spending everything on your Commie.

But at the end of the day it's ur choice. Even an SS will get owned every time by a 2.0L Rexie. (hint..hint)

[beeza]

U've been told Mikey :)

Honda's FTMFW!!

[Mikecivic78]

What do u think 4 the EM1?

Will look good on silver Mike :thumbsup:

[Mikecivic78]

thanks for the comment alex, they look sick right? I'm gonna ask my oldman to help me pay for them (my nameday is comin' up... Polish stylz).

I've lost whatever love I had. Sadfaice

[Troy]

Was your own fault. :p

[Mikecivic78]

I've lost whatever love I had. Sadfaice

Anyways Mikey, at the end of the day get what makes you happy.

If you get an SS do me a favour and get a manual... and let me take it for a spin at least once ;)

[Vvvtec]

My car now sits on coilovers. Awesome.

[Super-DA9]

SS Commodore? well if you prefer 8 valve per head pushrod technology from the 1970's to overhead cam..... lol

nothing says power per litre like a good DOHC 4 cylinder engine. hopefully this helps with you're decision :)

[mikey72]

Now the proud owner of a massive dint in my door from some stupid C*nt yesterday at the local miniatures/hobby shop. But it's ok my brother witnessed it and the shop owner said they're regulars. Quite prowd i kept a level head and didnt lose my shit!


Oh yeah, been spending all my money and time on a miniature war game called Warmachine now! :D

Skunk2 manifold is great! I've got one on my B18, and although it's still untuned it's done wonders in the top end :)

[Mikecivic78]

3 pt Front strut brace
4 pt rear strut brace



let me know if you are selling the old braces, I'll be keen 2 get 'em.

Hope ur havin' a great time in Japan mate !!!! :)

[beeza]

Yeah forsure Mike,I'll sell em to ya!

Can't wait to get that stuff in.

I found out wheel spacers are illegal and U wont get paid out in the event of an accident!

Japan was Excellent mate,I'm back already lol

Talk soon,was gonna call 2night,was sooo buggered yesterday!

[TbM]

Nice one beeza good to see you got some new parts to play with :) Look forward to seeing some pics when they are installed :)

It never does.. Haha
Already considering a brake upgrade...
The 3pt front brace looks niice

Japan = pure win.. Loved it there!
How is it there now? After the whole disaster thing?

[beeza]

It's heavy..

I talked a lot to the parents about it,it's big news.The media are running stories all the time,keeping it very frsh in peoples minds...

They are telling people that cancer it almost a certainty when they get older in Tokyo.The people of Japan are under fire,they are suffering.

BUT,the Japanese people are very controlled..that's the position they are in..here in Oz,our minds are much free-er to FREE.Big difference aye.

[Troy]

Damn, a certainty to get cancer? I would get outta there!

[eg5civic]

damn i gotta check this thread more its like the goldie chat thread, i'm so jealous of your trip to japan beez, i cant wait to get on tradesman wages and go on a holiday there and bring back a shit load of goodies for my cars XD

also here as some pics of the laurel, no more 4 stud, the equips are on the civic, i've gone 5 stud now, so looking at some 17 x 9/9.5 +15/+17/+20 rims, anything in gtr offset really

before the motor went in, bought it as a shell with a rb25det, got a 25det box on it now too
http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/ab13/eg5civic/IMG_0153.jpg

motor in the bay, love the bigger chassis of this car, as they had rb20's from factory so you have alot of room to work with compared to an s chassis
http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/ab13/eg5civic/IMG_0155.jpg

this was when i put the equips on the rear, its pretty low, will probably raise it a touch as it'll be my daily, as well as my skid rig XD cant wait to skid it

I got some OEM goodness for the car today

http://i55.tinypic.com/ih8klz.jpg

[Troy]

Hhmm what is it? (no I don't know everything)

[Mikecivic78]

its an engine mount

[Mikecivic78]

nothing special I know, but the car is gonna get some things replaced. This is the 1st mount, now gonna get the rear one, the others are in ok nick

[vtecing]

torque mount

[beeza]

Yes torque mount!

[Troy]

Ok cool. Refresh all the parts up that need it so you have a nice, tight car. I can see the value in that!

[Mikecivic78]

technically it still is an engine mount as it's mounted to the engine yo.

Here's the old one:

http://i55.tinypic.com/s1mb29.jpg

Looks like cambelt side mount needs to be done too. The tranny mounts seem ok. I should do them all in one go once i get em all.

[beeza]

Torque mount :)

[vtecing]

technically it still is an engine mount as it's mounted to the engine yo.



My spark plug is mounted to my engine. Is it an engine mount mike?


lol just trolling. Yes they are engine mounts, but a specific type referred to as a torque mount :)

[beeza]

Been gettin' a few things done to the car,which has been fun.I always enjoy playing,especially when there's a very nice road quietly waiting next door :)

I used a Claybar on the car.Such a must out here in the bush,2 times/year.
The lower mesh grill was coming off,fixed that.
Spray painted the wiper (on the car lol)

Timmy's coming ova today and we will install the rear 4pt in my car and Front lower 2pt in his.And he installed the c-pillar brace yesterday! Looking forward to the 4pt as the front is real stiff now with the 3pt,so the car NEEDS the 4pt to balance it.I felt that when I bought em',so I got em' both!

In 2-3 weeks,will get the Skunk2 IM WOOT WOOT!!

I will keep the stock 56mm TB and just bolt it strait on.It's dyno proven on d-series that more useable power is made with the stock tb vs a 60mm tb.

There's the issue of the 'reverberation step'... It should not be port matched,the IM should be 2mm larger than the tb..

The Skunk2 IM is 65mm.So that is a difference of 9mm which means the Skunk2 IM is 4 1/2mm larger than the tb..

But if you look at the back of the tb,the parts that touches the IM,it is not 'solid',it is broken up because of all of the air passages,over half of it,so I will just leave it and not touch it.I mean I won't bother using a file and making a step unless thier seems like there's an issue there.

haha I put in a google image search and my photo was there:

The back of the d16y4 tb (http://www.google.com.au/imgres?q=d16y4+throttle+body+back&hl=en&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=QVt_WQyFgdSyUM:&imgrefurl=http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php%3Ft%3D2947986&docid=RMlXyDisHPM2XM&w=619&h=464&ei=gQWFTryRIqOZiAf3tbCjDw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=980&vpy=91&dur=1791&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=132&ty=117&page=2&tbnh=143&tbnw=201&start=15&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:15&biw=1280&bih=681)

If anyone has any ideas on the 'Reverberation Step',let me know :)

Also for manifold, you say the power has moved up higher. Would you say more/less or just the same? Just in a different rev range right?

[Mikecivic78]

Very nice Deck. Looks like u got urself a nice blonde chickie there too :-P

Pity the DIY pics aren't working, they're there all right... ur computer is having problems.

With regards to Lakeside, I have to give it a miss, I'm cash strapped... saving for Korea trip in December. I should be keen for QR in January tho'

I will come and watch on NOV 11 however (after work, i can be there 1 ish.)

[EKVTIR-T]

There's PLENTY of room out here in the Rainbow Region,come on out!

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Woody hit the usb key and broke it on scottys computer just as I finished putting the pics up lol I think he was frustrated I havent been taking him for runs up the back on the quad.He loves the quad to death,or the tyres that is hahahaha

Im too strapped to race too unfortuneatly,I will film Timmy but!

No big improovement in power,but revs smoother and I feel it would be good out the track where your speed is 100-160 ish in my car.Free flowing high end! :)

Hey guys, its been awhile, how is everyone? :)

[Mikecivic78]

Hey guys, its been awhile, how is everyone? :)

Mikey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ur back :)

I thought u had moved onto the Holden V8 forums or something! If you haven't, get a WRX, that's what I'm saving for.... Ive test driven a few and all I can say is like, wow! V8 slayer!!!

I'm well man, starting to save cash, trying to work hard and all. I'm going to Korea in December with the wife, so Ive just budgeted for that... now I just gotta save save save.

I never got round to fixing my lip with ur cousin... maybe later.

Timmy is gonna do a practice day at Lakeside on Fri, I'm gonna come out and watch after work at about 1pm.

How 'bout u brotha? What's been happening?

[Vvvtec]

Hey Mikey!! Still got the accord man?

And @Mike, what model you thinking of getting Mike? My mates got a black 05 model, it's really nice! You might interested to know that my car with I/h/e is pretty much on par with his (apart from off the line launching, Subaru AWD owns). I'm confident once mine is tuned I'll be quicker.

But the WRX has buttloads of torque that's for sure. They pull so nicely from about 2500rpm :D Perfect daily cars that provide a lot of fun and satisfaction!

if i were to get a jap4x4turbo it would be an evo or the next civic type r.

hows life dude?

Yea mate, maybe I'll get a classic GC8 or a MY02 (shorter gear ratios than 00 and 01) as I love the look of the bug-eye. GC8 is older and floppier but has the advantage of power vs weight. Ive driven a fair few and the mix of turbo and AWD is really addictive. My budget will be about 13k (give or take, but that's how much they go for these days). I plan on a stock, possibly 1st owner car. U've seen my EM1, I'm in no hurry... I'll wait until I find a mint one. It's also good that the WRX is the best-selling sports car in Aus, unlike DC2 and EM1 they are a dime-a-dozen.

My dad used to be a member of the Subaru 4WD club when I was a kid, I feel that Subie is in my blood. I love the difference of the boxer engine, the power and ram-raid history. That's where I see my journey going.

After that, I'll definitely go back to a Honda. I'll always love the vtak, the slick gearboxes, styling and the overall premium feel of a Honda.





@ Mikey, WRX is more bag for buck than EVO and u can't beat the boxer exhaust note. The Japanese call it "Boru-boru"
Life is good man, missus is happy and so am I.


Not to say I'm not getting love from the EM1. I still love it. It looks sex, never skips a beat and I'm gonna take her out on the track for a practice day before I part with her. If she had the guts of a WRX, there's no way I would ever part with her.

[Vvvtec]

Well put Mike!

Plus if you ever get bitten by the mod bug, there's just so much potential in that motor!

[Mikecivic78]

my motto is handling mods 1st and engine mods later. But for sure, EJ20 has extreme modding potential.

[Mikecivic78]

mike. i want that chair u commented on on fb.

that would be great for my work chair. I work at UQ and everyone is very academic, but they know I am the resident car enthusiast, so it would be fair for me to have one of these.

[mikey72]

Yyyeeaahh but i want it!!!

So heres what Ive been thinking about doing lately.

1st, Ive just ordered new front rotors, and will get pads on the day I do it. Old ones are still holding up, but getting close to cactus.

2nd, the T1Rs at the front are at the wear indicator, so new tyres, and may as well get some new rims. Ive been trying to hit Timmy up for his as he's selling his EG. If not, ideally I'd like Lan's white Regamasters, but more realisticly, I'll probably get some good used P1Rs.

3rd... I have been entertaining the thought of selling my Eibach Pro kits and getting Ground Control coilover sleeves with Eibach Sportline (I love my Eibachs + height adjustability would be awesome). Just a thought this one. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4530-01-Ground-Control-Coilover-Springs-92-00-Honda-Civic-EG-EK-/230675663758?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35b5574b8e

So Ive still got some plans for the EM1 before I go hunting for a GC8 'rex

[ekcoupe]

Good one Mike, yep my car is up for sale now time for a more comfortable car...
Keep looking out for wheels man as i probably won't part the j speeds unless buyer for the car doesn't want them.

Anyways heres a few photos i took while at Beeza's

[Vvvtec]

How much do you want Timmy?

And what do you want to get next?

[ekcoupe]

Hey Alex, i have it up for 14k its worth alot more but you always lose money on cars. Im planning to get a standard dc2/r or an ek hatch next something simple.
Cause the eg is a bit hardcore for daily driving

[Vvvtec]

Nice dude.

I'm looking for a clean EG myself for my K swap.

Might be puttin the teg up for sale soonish too to fund it.

[ekcoupe]

Ah Sound great man a eg with k series would be hella fun you planning to do the swap yourself?

Good luck mate you will have no troubles selling the dc2 its in excellent condition:)

[Vvvtec]

Yup! K24 eg. Going to do it myself, that's the part I'm looking forward too the most! :D

Thanks man! I'm sure you're isn't gonna last too long on the market either, such a wicked car. If I had the cash I'd be buying it straight up!

[eg5civic]

Everyone's selling up now.
I'm over driving my civic now been defected twice in the last 2 months. I was gonna sell my 4x114.3 and equips and b16b and go k but dunno if I can be bothered/ have the space for it to be in pieces :(

[Vvvtec]

I'll buy your shell ;)

[eg5civic]

Haha there's not much too it it's basically dootcards, and an integra dash with two seats :p

Dunno if I can be bothered parting but I'll probably get more for it that way
