The new shit...

[civicex_1134]

lol, its got a lil rasp to it. Compared to all the other hondas with cat-back, it sounds pretty good. its got a cat, 18in resonator, and a 12in resonator..... was going for a buddy club spec II look without the price, lol.

[Domestic Disturbance]

Honestly is there such a thing as good sounding Honda exhaust? I haven't heard it yet if there is. I always end up shaking my head when I hear one.

stock, they way God intended.

[Domestic Disturbance]

Too many Honda enthusiasts get caught up in deleting resonators and running straight pipes to try to gain a few HP while throwing CELs and getting crazy loud. I think if they approach their modding knowing its a Honda and not a Mustang it helps avoid the rasp lol.

truer words have never been spoken

If only that honda was rwd or awd. Looks good, sounds good, but still wrong wheel drive IMO.

[Doom]

If only that honda was rwd or awd. Looks good, sounds good, but still wrong wheel drive IMO.
the car definitely could have been equipped with awd but honda in their infinite wisdom like to keep such features for the acura tl. a shame because the crosstour monstrosity is the only current honda car with available awd (i've heard rumors of the 9th gens having awd but the leaked spec sheets make no mention). i've still completed chassis tightening and nearly all of the model-available performance mods to have as much fun as the car allows (and the process itself is the fun of course) but in the end it certainly is what it is.

14's? really? thats much faster then it should be!! he said 15's now 14's is carryed away Thats like stock Toyota Carolla speeds.

as a new guy i wasn't sure if i overstepped my bounds with my segue so i just finished reading this novel of a thread in its entirety. i think i understand now...

[Jappbox]

Your fine New guy. there is no problem with you posting your car. Dallas seems to be upset you posted in his thread and spun off topic, but its ok by me.

[Clinical]

yeah, its the first time this thread has been derailed - how dare you

[85XR7Project]

After all, every asshole can build a Mustang or Camaro but that's gay. Building Hondas, now that's where you get the panties dropping.

[86svo9L]

Its true, chicks dig Hondas. At least 85% of the Hondas I see on the road are driven by them.

[Domestic Disturbance]

No thats just me. My hair is getting long.

Dallas did you end up taking this to the track?

I agree, Dallas has been talking about turbos forever, he even called me more than once and PTE, and others asking what to go with. I would think you need to start saving money before telling everyone your going turbo for 2012.

[Dustin]

saving money

You said it... :owned:

[Doom]

The car is as good now as it will ever be if insurance totaled it. From what I've seen I wouldn't hold my breath on much more progress. Hell, the thread started with discussions of Megan could and "doing it right."

[Doom]

Megan coils. Autocorrect, sorry. My point is that if a thermostat was discussed ad nauseum the prospect of real advances forward is nil.

[86svo9L]

If he cared about the car he wouldn't have been running around with a 140* thermostat and no tune for the last several months. Car probably has not seen closed loop operation since the change. Has to be hurting his fuel mileage a bit.

Actually, my last tank lasted 315miles and i only used 10gal. not bad for a car 22 year-old car with 230k miles.....

[Jappbox]

230k miles!! and you want to turbo it with that much mileage?

[snickerlicker]

It's because of the hood for sure!!

[86svo9L]

Still doesn't change the fact its not running right with the 140. Just think how much better it would run when the computer isn't in open loop all the time. If your not running an all out high hp drag car what is the point. Put a 180 back in until you actually do something with the car.

[harodavid]

sounds like my cummins a million miles and great fuel millage!! we drove it to brazil, in its about 365 miles one way and we drove it around for a weekend and came back only $80 in fuel!!!

[civicex_1134]

So anyway... I need some help. Ok, so every morning im having to pull my coolant reservoir and dump it back into the radiator. And when i pull the rad cap in the morning it still has pressure behind it. So i dump it back in and put everything back as it should be. Ive replaced the radiator cap 4 times and the last 2 times its been with a OEM honda rad cap. Also the coolant has some carbon in it, not a lot tho, just some. It doesnt overheat and stays at operating temp as it should. Im thinking head gasket but im not sure. Any suggetions? also, any other questions you guy have about it, please ask. Thanks in advance.

Dallas

[Chase]

Bring it over to my place and we can check compression.

[86svo9L]

Definitely sounds like a HG or cracked head issue. Hopefully just the HG. Have you had your oil changed since this started? A lot of times you will get a milky residue inside of the valve cover and coated all over everything as the coolant gets into the oil giving a nice indicator.

[civicex_1134]

90-91 b18a
nominal 185 psi

max var: 28 psi

MINE:

Cylinder 4) 135psi

[86svo9L]

Sounds a little worn out. What are your plans?

[JustinS]

Just boost it, what could go wrong lol

[Jappbox]

Yep time for a rebuild, cars don't run forever. Good thing you didnt boost it. I cant grasp how slow it has to be down that low on compression being a NA 4 Cyl.

[AutoMods]

dude, you have low compression now, that means way more boost

[civicex_1134]

Yep time for a rebuild, cars don't run forever. Good thing you didnt boost it. I cant grasp how slow it has to be down that low on compression being a NA 4 Cyl.

Dude, you have no idea.... My shits soo fast!!! id make your Viper TT look like an earth worm. Lets run em, but i dont run for free.

im actually debating on finding a GSR long block or building this one for boost.

[86svo9L]

Well I guess there is a lesson to be learned. I am not sure that it was the cause or if it accelerated a pre-existing issue, but maybe now that stock t-stat can go back in with the new engine. I am sure it did not help the head gasket or the block/head running around as a DD and going for long trips without being up to temp, and running what I am sure to be rich all the time from constant open loop operation. Not sure if you know this but the O2s do not operate in open loop...

Good luck on the next engine. I am not saying a 140* thermostat is not going to show gains, but it has no reason to be on a DD car.

My god! your still on that! I can tell you right now that it gets to operating temp EVERYDAY! the only difference i see with this T-Stat is going down the highway it sits a lil under half. But driving around town it is perfectly normal. Also, it takes a lil longer for it to warm up, but other than that it behaves just the same.

[86svo9L]

So why did you blow the cash on it? I was under the assumption that it was not getting up to temp, which would be a major contributor to your current issue. But if all is well, good luck on your build.

[civicex_1134]

Your right, i prolly did blow cash on it, oh well. But im hopin to buy a HG and Headstuds next weekend. well see tho

[86svo9L]

HG changes go pretty quick on those don't they? Never done one on a Honda before.

[civicex_1134]

Hour or so if you know what ur doin and have all the tools in front of you. me? hour and a half cuz im lazy, lol

[86svo9L]

Nice. Wish I could say the same for my car.

[Clinical]

boostedsohc had them down to about 45 minutes i think on his car at 475whp haha.

speaking of headgaskets my buddys integra popped its headgasket at the track he's fixing tomorrow, we should time it!

if you want an extra block to build we got a full LS setup just blew a ringland that I'm sure he'd let go cheap

You had a loan on that car?

[JustinS]

Yeah wait what, you had a loan on a car you paid $1,500 for?

[civicex_1134]

no, there was no loan.... But sum1 made me an offer i couldnt refuse. So with that money i paid off a loan ive been paying on for awhile and i also paid off all my fines. If eveyone must know, it was impounded cuz i dont have a license and was caught driving it. A mistake i will never make again, lesson learned. But on a good note, i have money left over and all my debt has been paid. IM HAPPY! lol

[86svo9L]

Step in the right direction at least. Debt is a terrible thing. Whats the next ride?

[Dustin]

Now it looks like your really back to square one. I have a few bicycles at my house if you need some transportation. It's good that you paid off your debt though.

You also now have NO CAR. That guy got a good deal and you will never be able to find a DA in that condition for what you had into it.

[JustinS]

What is this awesome amount of money you got for the DA?

[86svo9L]

Now that is gone, what did it end up running at the track?

[civicex_1134]

Sold the car for $3k. Yea, i got no car... but i also wont have my license till sometime next year anyway, not gonna let the car sit there for that long. I find rides to work a week in advance, then pay that person in advance. The car went 15.6 at 89.6mph.... spinnin thru 1st and 2nd. well, wheel hop in 2nd. My 60ft was 2.4, and my last integra with the same set up had a 2.2 60ft.

[85XR7Project]

So 13 seconds without that whack ass wheel hop right yo?

[Chase]

I use to scoot around on a moped in highschool. I'm seriously considering one again. I live 5 miles from work and I need a pit bike for the track. They are kind of fun too.

[86svo9L]

I used to in Jr.High before my friends and I had our licenses. Thing burned oil like a pig, none of the electronics worked so we got a big spotlight for a headlight and we sawed the muffler off so it would go faster. It did around 60 mph, but would be deaf when done riding. Got to love small town life, lol. All said and done we had like 25 dollars in it total, counting purchase price.

[AutoMods]

are you allowed to ride mopeds when your license is suspended?

[Doom]

if an adult moped rider doesn't already have a license they have to obtain a moped permit and potentially sit for an exam. i don't know if having a suspended license is a stopping point though.

[Jappbox]

I think this is good for Dallas, no car and no license. he will learn not to drive crazy with hondas. In all honesty that is sad, i mean if Dallas was 16 i could understand but being 23 years old, no car, no license, living at home. do you have a full time job? meaning 40hours a week. Your on a bad path dallas and better turn your head around before your 40 years old with no job, no house, no car.

Not trying to be mean just puting the truth out there. your 23 get your act together and work.

[Chase]

Harsh and innacurate if you ask me, viper man. Who are you to pass judgment like that on him?

[black88gt]

http://i.qkme.me/36jci7.jpg

[SledgeWS6]

You must have a non-suspended driver's license to operate a moped in the State of Iowa; your moped permit at 14 is a form of licensing. My buddy got an OWI and this question came up, but if you get your license revoked for any reason you are not allowed to operate any motor vehicle on public roadways.

[Jappbox]

Harsh and inaccurate if you ask me, viper man. Who are you to pass judgment like that on him?


He put he lost his lisance and sold his car on a public forum, if he didn't want opinions he wouldn't respond to his Thread. My judgment is from things Ive seen of him and if he can come back on here and say "yea i got a full time job" or "I'm putting out resumes every day for a job" then I acknowledge hes trying to get ahead. The job market is not bad at all its just people lack the effort to fill out resumes and take the time to "try" If you sleep in till 10AM and piss around all day your not going to get far. I'm not saying I want Dallas to suffer in fact I like the kid. But far to many people I see in my line of work don't want to push to have a job,car,life, or even family. Instead its party like I'm 18 living in a dorm room. This is part of the problem with society and and the USA. Get off your Ass and do something with yourself. That should be the new economy headline. My wife got a new job in 2 weeks time. She filled out 30+ applications and resumes. If others tryed they would be able to get jobs. Corridor Carriers has hundreds posted right now. But thats my speech on jobless people, It might not include Dallas or not. Again I don't know if he has a job or not but now hes effected his job or pursuing a job because of no license and lack of transportation. Business's frown upon that. Just cause I have a fast car don't mean I drive like a jack ass, in fact I drive like a grandpa unless I'm in the viper and clear of danger and pedestrians, in now way do I rev or try to race people on 1st ave. Its stupid, pointless and a easy way to loss your license. Dallas I do wish you the best but sometimes you need a slap on the back of the head. tell your dad to give you one. LOL

[86svo9L]

Education can take a person far. It is hard to find jobs when you have not completed HS and have no college. My younger brother is in the same situation and it breaks my heart every time I help him get a little ahead and he destroys it and ends up back at square one.

[Chase]

I agree that a big problem today is people don't work hard. No one takes pride in their work, or takes time to stop and smell the roses as they say. Everything is a rush. Get fast food, hurry home so you can watch reality TV. Nobody enjoys doing lawn work, or making a bench or whatever it is. Those are poor examples but I think it gets the point across. We are a country of consumers and its pathetic.

I' was just standing up for Dallas, it seems all anyone does on here is give him shit. Dallas has helped me out several times. I don't know his job situation right now, but I know he can work hard. So its annoying to see him insulted because he doesnt have a high paying job or a good line of credit or whatever it may be, for whatever reason.

[Clinical]

I hear that, I don't live in a town anywhere near the size of CR and such. I'm going to college for a teaching degree that won't end up making me any more money than a factory job I could get right now. And we have enough factories here in town that if you REALLY want to you can get a job there if you try hard enough, and the jobs aren't even that hard just a bit mundane but with the ability to pull 40-60k a year for no real education investment it's a pretty good alternative. It's basically my back-up-plan if something doesn't pan out with my schooling for some reason, hell some of the factory work I would enjoy. Either way I just don't see how people can stay in careers at establishments that pay at or barely above minimum wage. If you REALLY want a better job, you can get one unless you've really screwed up with felonies and shit on your record.

Honestly if someone wanted to make decent money without a degree a machine shop isn't a bad route to take. You make good money, benefits and a skill you can use everywhere in the U.S. He DID say he had a job, he just wanted to pay off some debt, I get it, I've been there. I'm sure that was more of a "grow up" rant, I wouldn't get too worked up over it. He doesn't have a license which I can only assume is his own fault but we all grow up at our own pace. Some never do.

[civicex_1134]

i get the tough love from jesse and know what hes tryin to say. This is how i see my situation and why i did what i did.....

Ok, i had my DL suspended but got a work permit to drive to and from as directed. I got a wild hair up my ass and decided to drive on fathers day. I got pulled over and paid the price, and its my own fault. So i said to my self, "i lost my work permit at this point, wont have a DL till sometime next year, and all the car is gonna do is sit...." So at that point i told myself to sell the car. "If i can get $3k out of it, i can pay off my loan, and pay off ALL fines" So thats what i did. So im now working part-time at Junge and, at least for a lttle bit, im gong to just enjoy life. But here in a few months i would like to go back to school for body shop. But thats a whole other convo.

[85XR7Project]

Id be looking for a full time job if it were me but good for you. Sometimes we just need to figure out what our priorities are.
