Hhmm what is it? (no I don't know everything)
its an engine mount
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
torque mount
Yes torque mount!
Ok cool. Refresh all the parts up that need it so you have a nice, tight car. I can see the value in that!
technically it still is an engine mount as it's mounted to the engine yo.
Here's the old one:

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.
Torque mount :)
My spark plug is mounted to my engine. Is it an engine mount mike?Quote:

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
If anyone has any ideas on the 'Reverberation Step',let me know :)
lol,U Troll! hahahaQuote:

Skunk2 IM,got my neighbour to weld up the holes not used.Wasn't the easiest install.The power has moved up higher,car sounds deeper.Need to use the high end more..going to lakeside 11/11/11 :)

Oh wow mate! Huuuuggeee updates... That deck looks sweet now, perfect for arvo BBQ!
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?
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.)
Wow nice going with the new deck there!
and the vegemite oil breather cracked me up :D
Love beezers pics.
Bezza!
Love the Pics.
You place is amazing.
Your car is freaking awesome and i'm very jealous.
This thread is just epic!!!!
I want to come and live beside you mate. I am sick of living in the city. :)
Hey,yeah man,I feel ya on the city call!
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? :)
Mikey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ur back :)Quote:

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?
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!
Is that a modified stock intake plenim ?Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
Well put Mike!
Plus if you ever get bitten by the mod bug, there's just so much potential in that motor!
my motto is handling mods 1st and engine mods later. But for sure, EJ20 has extreme modding potential.
you & me think alikeQuote:

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.Quote:

I can upload 15 minute vids on youtube,so it wont be a prob,sorry for the delay/wait..
good handling ;).
Thank U :)
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-G...item35b5574b8e
So Ive still got some plans for the EM1 before I go hunting for a GC8 'rex
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

How much do you want Timmy?
And what do you want to get next?
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
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.
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:)
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!
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 :(
I'll buy your shell ;)
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
Just the way I want mine ;)Quote:

Will have a/c, no p/s thoughQuote:
