Heh yeah, you can see my write up in my sig under "Cluster"

Thanks for all of the compliments guys. I'm happy it's running too! Reps for everyone weeeeeeee

Just picked up some Honda MTF and now I need to get some coolant hoses and I'll be ready to drive it!

So, next time I roll up I'll hit ya up with my NOS fuel solenoid and bottle

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight? :>

Or you can come down here.. Whatever.

Haven't run my main line yet. :S
Thats the first thing on the "post driving" list.

Good deal.

Call me at home and remind me to give you the fuel solenoid.. I"ll stick it in the Toaster and you can snag it tomorrow.

How much would you sell the fat fives for?

Gotta get another set of wheels to replace them... but I think the going rate is somewhere around $200 for 'em nowadays right?

Oh, I just ran the main NAWZ line.oop:

If you'd sell em w/tires for $200.00, I think I'll take em <laughs> you can roll on the Toasters 18's for a lil bit I've gotta find some wheels for Meggies ride.. I really don't want to buy new tires for the 18's right now, ya know?

No thanks
I spent more than that on the tires alone...

I was curious why you said $200.00.

I thought it was stupidly low Then again, you like money adn are alway wantin more more...


I found some civic EX wheels, 2001 for $330.00 shipped.

I meant just for the wheels......

haha

Ehh, it's aite. I'll end up with those fat fives again, so I'm not worried

Are you driving it yet?

No, not driving it just yet.
I'm still tinkering with my gauges and my coolant setup. I should have most everything I need today.

Hit the shop last night and got a lot done!

Got my catchcan finished, but soon realized some serious flaws...


1. can't bolt it in.
2. can't see the water level even if I could!


So I'm thinking of either putting bungs/sight glass on the other side and keeping it in that location, or moving it here:


Then I finished the dash console-




Then I fired it up and heat cycled the engine. No major leaks! yay!
Then I DROVE across the yard to get a bath.





Next I need to detail the interior.


I need a racing seat or something. I've got my JDM CR-X seat, but I might wanna step up to something sporty, with a harness and stuff... idk. Opinions?
-Andrew

Awesome man.

5 point harnesses look cool, but are an absolute pain in the butt to deal with. I don't like em. I think the JDM crx seat looks great and you should just stick with that.. I mean it's Recaro seat.
You could try and find you some ITR seats for $1,000. Those are sporty!

I like the console BTW... The carbon fiber looks awesome. Good job!

Get your butt down to Perry now that your car is runnin
. If you've got your main nitrous line hooked up, lets get the rest hooked as well! Or just play some Guitar Hero/rock Band.. Whatever

Oh, Sorry bout the catch can. Wish I (or we) would have thought about which side the couplings needed to be welded on.. You probbaly told me and I just screwed it up

I think it looks good on the other side. But if you want me to make you another one, maybe more compact.. I dunno.. Lemme know.
