Lool a dude near me. The lip is stuck onto a bar so all I gotta do is swap front bars + cash his way

Cyl 4: 202Psi
I've read that healthy numbers are between 180-220 so this seems pretty good :)

$185 per corner in 205/50/R15. I wanted to go 16's, but don't have the time to choose and order new rims. My current RE001's are screwed. The GSi is a great little car, I'm certainly under no delusions as to how fast it is/isn't, but it gives me pleasure through the windy's when pushed, and good tyres are a must.Quote:

I have to disagree... i paid $105 a corner fitted and balanced for 205/45/16s. Only downside is that the rubber is porous so air leaks out (bout 2psi drop every month), which isn't a problem since i pump them everytime i fill up anyway. They brake/grip just as well as my old KU31s, not noisy, comfortable. I can still take corners at the same speed and feel secure that the tyres won't give out. Saved a few hundred and no regrets
Up here the RSR's are sub $180 each for 15's
If I had more time to shop around..Quote:

There you go...
Damn that's a good price man, what size?
i forget now. but for my oem itr rims. 195/50/15 i think. option 1 always has good prices. the rsr never let me down worth every dollar. only downside is the fronts wear out very quick. rears last though
Haha yeah no haters yet! Actually kind of disappointed.Quote:

i should post mine up lol. itd be sure to get people hating
whats wrong with a gsi? will give lancers,sss,stock commy's a good run.. unless its an automatic lol that shit is slow az...
never skimp out on tyres, good tyres will save your life srs
Hahah so true. Auto gsi cant even keep up with 1.3l barinas... So sad
i got my front 2 tyres balanced =]
and double clutched
Mine poo's all over Lancers, SSS, Corolla's, etc. Could probably keep within half a car length of my parents VX Executive, but it would be pushing it.Quote:

mine beats 3l magna's, a ford xr6, mates vti-r and against commodores, that just demolish me from the line =(
the B18B is a good engine. just needs a better transmission. would love to see the result if paired with a B16a gearbox!
lol shameless plug, my first integra haha goddamn it looks slow to me now
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpOxHNZ6-rc
hence why i'm considering to do a manual conversion with a s80 gearbox from ITR. no need for vtec!
Lolz, let's do it! :pQuote:

Hmmm I still think the B16a's short ratios would be better suited. even whack a 4.9FD in there if your insane haha.Quote:

I think anything you can possibly do yourself, you should have a crack at it. it's your car so you'll do a better job because you care about it.
Also those tent garages are quite cheap in Super Cheap Auto. I think about $90? Not bad considering the price of a lot of things.
for a temp garage it's over $200 haha...
the $90 one is just the enclosure kit, the actual car port is about $179 :(
Yeah i'll do some research and at the end of this year during summer break i might have a go. If i break the car at least i don't have to get to uni. Dunno anyone who could help me out with it though :( it's definetely not a 1 man job
move to ACT and I'll help haha. don't know why you'd move here actually there's nothing to do lol.
It appears only you and act_gooner live there (on ozhonda that is). Lonely guys with tegs ahhah melbourne doesnt have much to do either, least you got good laws. shit ass restrictions and lot of bogus over here.
ACT on ozhonda: Super-DA9, act_gooner, NSPYRE, ekdez, threesix, CrystalSkull, JMC, Baal, Jorzie + more
not heaps but not THAT lonely haha
Anyways on topic, i filled up my car with 91 for the first time... it runs even slower now lol didn't think it would be so noticable but the car wouldn't accelerate on a small hill and kept changing up and down gears -_- frickin auto annoying
that will harm your motor. it probably retarded the timing upon detecting lower octane fuel as to why its even slower,
My eg sedan LOVED 91 hahaha. I only ever put like $10 in it a couple times but man it was fun haha.
According to the manual, the car was made to run on 91. So it shouldn't harm the motor at all? Ive just always used 98 cos of it's cleaning properties to make sure my injectors stayed fresh.
if you're using E10 then that sh*ts NASTY lol.
hmm, I don't see how the ECU could retard the timing if it's mechanical ignition and fixed cams.
The knock sensor detects the lower octane fuel retarding the timing making the car have less power
who needs a garage, thats what the front driveway is for :P
yeah true you dont even need a garage its only useful if it is raining, just aslong as there is concrete
yeah more room to move too!Quote:

Nice work 89lude, DIY till your fingers fall off! haha
some of the best builts on here are done in the front/back yard LOL
love your car 89lude
Frontyard ftw xD my whole car was done in my cramp driveway.. u got heaps of room there 98lude xD i wish i had a garage would of made things so much better
89lude, your ride is looking very nice...
Hm, can I ask your opinions, guys? My Gsi is silver... Should I give it a closed-door respray in black?
The question is why are you respraying?
If not respraying the same colour, do something not many people have like a wrx blue or the midnight purple skyline colour
I don't really like silver. :PQuote:

Bayside Auto Styling does closed doors for 1500, i believe it's a bit extra for pearl/metallic. $2500 including interior and engine bay. Hit and miss job from what i've read though
Hm, cheers. I wonder how bad you can make a gloss black paint job look?Quote:
