Sigh, alright. Goodbye again, I guess.

Don't put an inferior engine into a superior chassis, that's just silly.

No K engine will be good enough, they're weaksauce. A 3T/2T would do well with supporting mods and take forced induction...

About 1900 pounds, you won't be drifitng it with that stock 3T/2T/K series engine, those things are slow from the factory.

In my state, the highest speed limit is 75mph. There is NO state where the limit is 55mph, Wikipedia provides a really good article on speed limits in the US actually:
...

My state has no inspection or emissions laws.

If you wish to tag or title a vehicle, you take it to the DMV, they come out, read the VIN, and then hand you title/paperwork. They don't even check...

It's all good, man. We're all bros in this place. <3

You need your eyes checked, Shiban said that he'd get an R31 GTR. If you had been around AA for a while, you'll know I've posted the R31 Skyline (AND the WAGON form!) in earlier versions of this...

No such thing, bub.

I laughed at all of this.

As far as Jap cars, pretty much anything is going to be reliable under 2~ liters and 150k miles. Sounds like a silly rule but if you really think about it, that's about...

Unless you were somewhat wealthy, it would be hard to insure a decent, older car in Japan. The savings on registration and taxes for the vehicle (it's way cheaper than a kei car or truck) would be...

That's a third generation Wedge, not a second generation.

The fourth is terrible, though. I've never liked them, they have those awful nostril/caruncula growths beside the headlights and the...

Thanks Borellus

Already had some guy ask me about it at a gas station

That looks perfectly in spec to me, grease it up and tell them it's close to the service limit :v:

Make sure you let them know if it comes off of there to stop and put it back on...

A power washer is fine. I know how to clean an engine bay. This isn't like 1950s cars with loose-fitting PCV fittings, unsealed distributor caps, and air intake openings inside the engine bay. It's...

I was bored so I got the water hose after the Lexus.

Thanks guys

Alright, Prelude time.

This is a USDM wedge with JDM INX front conversion:

Well, today was a lot better day than yesterday. Girlfriend surprised me when I woke up by showing up to pick me up and hang out. Then Zags and I got started on collecting parts for a project of his....

h everyone

just got home

Civic engine locked up

Mom came to get me in her brand new Sentra

hit pothole destroyed rim

It's a good foot longer than my car (almost 20 inches, actually), and it's taller than my car by a few inches too. It's quite a bit bigger than older Civics. The huge wheel wells don't help either.
...

Jesus shit EM2s are huge, those Sis look like caster wheels under a land yacht. On a proper D/B platform Civic/Integra they fill out the wheel well nicely, but the EM2 dwarfs them.

If you think that is ugly, you have no taste in automobiles, my friend. It's a lovely little French design, assembled by the boys in red. Nothing wrong with it at all.

If you want to complain...

A 301? Pontiac V8? Nobody else makes a 301 I know of, and it'd be awfully strange for a 301 Pontiac to be in a truck.

Ford Taunus

B16B engines rev for years, but a B series in a platform designed for the INCREDIBLY superior F-series is just ridiculous. If one was to go with a good B series block, though, the B16A2 is THE best...

Most of them are generally more reliable than Ferrari and Lamborghini as far as I know, I know many Maserati Biturbos have been daily drivers for some people, and the Maserati LeBaron TC, but it was...

F22B DOHC? Or F22B USDM SOHC?

You should find a nice non-VTEC F22Ax (or a sweet DOHC H23!) and a DSM turbo manifold. Take the manifold and an H23 exhaust gasket to a shop and have them drill it to...

Maserati Kyalami, anyone?

M engines are boat anchors... Given that you had the extra weight of two more cylinders in an iron block, and the head gasket issues, you only got another 30hp and 2 less torque out of the Mk2...

That's two GTSs and one GT.

I owned a GT, got it back, and sold it again. Awful slow truck engine but the rest of the car is superb, it's like a stronger AE86 chassis and a lot interchanges...

If you're going to go 4 pot, you may as well go 4 Cylinder conversion -> OBD2a to OBD1 conversion and be done with it, you can use an automatic Integra OBD1 ECU with some work (I'll link you a good...

Twist, with any OBD2 Honda, you are better off swapping in an aftermarket ECU or using an OBD2a to OBD1 jumper and going full chippable/tuneable OBD1. Seeing as you have a V6, you're pretty fucked...

Digital dash?

S12 DOES IT.

PB blaster is way better than WD-40, and it's better on the nose as well.

Is that one of the AWD ones?

Go wash yours and come back to the same spot and stand there for hours fiddling with your key in their lock, and see if they go to your van by accident.

I've done shit like that, broke several breaker bars. One of my breaker bars has a permanent twist in the tip, I'll have to get a picture of that sometime.

You've confused "hate you" with "think you're an amateur for not knowing how to tighten bolts when they need less torque than a click-type torque wrench can measure".

I forgive you though. Also,...

Piggyback on stock fuel system should be fine to 7-8PSI, upgraded pump and injectors with a wideband on the piggyback would allow twice that. A couple of PSI of boost? May as well just get some...

I told myself I'd either buy another Corvette or an SC300, this was just cheaper (especially since I bought it as a project).

I'm very jealous.
