Holy cow you never left! I see no progress in any of your five build threads.

 

[96 DX Hatch]

'I'm back' threads are reserved for members who have been here a little longer than you.

 

[Genuine Rolla]

hahah...dude, you've only been here since march of 08..

 

[2slo4u]

your shift boot looks like your exhaust tips

nice build goin on though..

 

[apekd]

haha i know i havent been here long. I've been chilling on 4th gen civic and on civiclife.net for a while now. my other threads were lame with dumb ideas.

thanks, shift boot made me happy to have one at last and the tips were nicer than the stock SiR exhaust came with. waiting to order my headers and test pipe this week. installing my rear seats and arm rest today after school

 

[ScratchNSniff]

my other threads were lame with dumb ideas.

I can't stop judging you as one of those annoying young kids that run their mouth's but can never back it up. You know, the kind of kids that you never take seriously.

Why a d15b7 cam?

 

[oddeb707]

yeah, sweet shift boot

 

[apekd]

well yes i was gone for 3 days, but didnt update my thread for a long time lol
i guess i can say i am kinda annoying, thats what family says, so im used to it
thanks love the shift boot too.
well lets say this, there is a little bit more lift than a B1 cam, but it is close to a A6 cam as well. plus it was free at the junk yard.

heres tonights...........update...from...hell...

well...uh....does 5 stitches sound like an update?

lets just say...knife1>pat0

i was cutting a zip tie and the knife slipped (no i wasnt cutting towards me lol)

heres some pics for you btw

the little mess of wires left to extend and put through the fire wall

boost gauge is IN THE CAR

80 watt amp ill be using to run some small tens (need surround sound, not crappy door speakers lol)

heres what you ALL HAVE WANTED

i love the seats....sat down and ate lunch in them today too lol

ill keep you posted, got a few people that owe me so ill have them do the work hahahaha!

oh, ordering stage 1 clutch and gasket set tomorrow night.. f**k yes!

 

[oddeb707]

black and pink solja rag....

stitches = manly

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Nice...an update...is this for real...lol...just messing with you...I really like the ED seats though...hard to find in good condtition for a reasonable price though...

 

[apekd]

im more of a fan of the EK seats really, they wrap around you more than the EF seats do.

got some parts today

timing belt
thermostat
new front speakers
amp wiring
and gotta get my friends 14:1 CR B16A running. pretty fun.

 

[Mr. Jollypants]

You have 80 watts feeding 10s?

 

[CBURKE]

Not bad man!!! Keep it up, well not the cutting your arm open but the car lol.

 

[apekd]

You have 80 watts feeding 10s?

not any more, i just sold the tens at school today lol the amp is powering a small set of 6" crappy BOSS speakers. the fronts are new jensen 6.5".

haha yeah i wish i could keep from getting hurt haha! but you never know what s**t will happen till it does. arm is doing better. shoulder hurts like a mother from where they gave me the shot. snagged a few things for cheap while at school

89 civic factory manual
more crimp connectors and shrink wrap! lol

i needed the 89 manual for the 1.6 dizzy connector wiring. dont have a plug so im making my own stuff. this car isnt getting the turbo (as sad as it is) im buying a sedan during summer, gutting it, painting it, cage, D16Z6 turbo, and about 10 pounds of boost. gotta keep up with my friend crx some how . but for the hatch, im lookin for another good head(might steal one from the junk yard, and yes i have stolen heads before lol) and check it, get it milled a bit, new flat valve, seals, guides, p&p, and stage 2 cam or so. the high compression bug bit me, so i want the best of both worlds. oh and for a few people that pm'd me, the rear seats have a 2-3" gap on each side, but nothing to worry about, they still look great!

 

[Destroy]

Your not doing any of that s**t man, stop talking so much of what you're wanting to do and just do it.

 

[CRXsiterror]

Talking about stealing heads? being in high school, and you car is a POS why is this not locked.

Do more cutting... on yourself.
