    1996 Acty SDX

    After some back and forth for a few months, and some assistance from an OG here, I have it. It's in my garage. It's so stupid fun to drive. I've driven it a good bit, it's so much fun. It's everything I wanted, and it has AC so the dog can ride with me. Good times. I'll get the...

    2004 Mini Cooper

    Oops. I did it again. So, yeah, got a mini cooper now. As some of y'all know, I recently got pretty seriously injured in a motorcycle mishap, and won't be able to drive for a bit, and probably won't be riding motorcycles for a while either. So, I traded a 2002 yz250fp, bored out to 290cc for...

    You're a lot younger than I thought, aka goldwing ownership

    So, yeah, I picked up this thing. It's awesome. I bought it, put new tires on it, a new clutch (has 113k miles) in, and it's awesome. I'll replace the valve cover gaskets here this week too. Oh, I paid almost nothing for it, and it's totally roadworthy. I've been riding it to work for...

    1969 Suzuki TC120 repair/rebuild/restoration

    Another bike followed me home. The engine is free, it has spark, and it has compression. It's in relatively good shape too, the tank just has some surface rust in it. This'll be a fun one.

    1998 Klr250

    Welp... I bought another bike. I bought it looking like this, missing a throttle cable(the other was for the wrong bike), broken choke lever, missing kill switch, broken front brake cable, no battery, no turn signals, hacked off rear fender, leaking gas tank, an o-ring chain that looked...

    1969 Honda CT90 Trail - Restoration/Renewal/Repair

    I picked up another project, because I'm bored. 1969, Honda 90 Trail, in red. It doesn't run yet. The previous owner hooked up a 12v battery instead of a 6v battery, so there's some burnt wires, and the coil is dead. The coil (teal) is trashed, the condenser (yellow) probably is trashy...

    Bought a CR-V

    1999, cr-v, lx, awd, automatic transmission. The interior is in great condition, it's even got the table in the back. 186k miles, and it's not rusted out or torn up inside. More pictures tomorrow when I get it home.

    D16y8 build for boost

    I picked up some spare engine parts for Maddison. You can read about her here: https://hondaswap.com/threads/the-white-mess-my-em1-si-with-a-d16y8.530709 I'll be building this engine as identically as possible, in order to save myself some hassle on the tune. Granted, it's going probably need...

    LS Mesh Refinishing

    I got some super ugly looking LS Mesh wheels a while back. A few weeks ago I sanded them smooth, got most of the crusty paint off, then sprayed them black gloss. Tonight I had some time, so I sanded the face surfaces to get them looking the way I want. I ran out of time, so the lip isn't...

    Talk to me about tuning now

    I used to do Hondata s300 tuning like 12 years ago, so I'm familiar with that, but now apparently Crome isn't really supported? Supposedly, the developer for crome stopped development, disappeared and sold the PRO server to Xenocron, and they're now the only seller for Crome Pro licenses...

    MD WTB 96-00 Civic Coupe driver's door panel

    As the title states. I don't have one, so I don't care the color. I need the driver's only, passenger is cracked but repairable. I don't need any switches or trim pieces except the speaker cover. Looking to spend under 125 shipped, since they seem to appear in pairs for $250 regularly.

    The white-mess, my EM1 Si with a d16y8.

    So, I bought a civic for $400. It's got a d16y8, manual transmission, has front end collision damage (possibly more than once), and has been painted once (maybe twice?). VIN is 1HGEM1152XL045364, Honda says it should have a b16, but Carfax says d16y8. Everyone agrees it's an Si. Whut in...

    TIG Welding

    I just got my DC TIG up and running. Hell of a lot easier than SMAW and FCAW. To my surprise, the Chinese $300 120A DC TIG machine actually has HF start. I paid almost as much for the gas cylinder, lol. The old 0.35 MIG wire isn't cutting it as a filler rod. What should I be using? I'm just...

    No wonder the CPSC hates go karts

    I just got one this past weekend off craigslist for $50, rebuilt the carb, and got a new torque converter belt. Finally got to ride it around the property tonight. For only 6HP and 12ft/lb of torque, it's really fast. Like did 25 mph in the blink of an eye fast. I was legitimately sure I was...

    Want to drop cable tv? Check inside.

    I moved. We bought a house, and moved into the sticks. Coincidentally, the house is inside of 50 miles from both Philly and Balitimore, giving me the opportunity to pull both television markets in. (The earth's curvature gives sea level line of sight to about 80 miles.) I'm an amateur radio...

    MD WTB: Aftermarket Tachometer

    My truck needs a tach. Anything smaller than 5", nothing tachy (pun intended), and something that won't look too out of place in the Dodge. Ideally, a 3-ish inch tach. Willing to pay up to $55 to get it to my door.

    Light bar

    Shitty picture.. Sue me. 120W 7500lm light bar. It's wonderful now. Like driving in the daytime. I wired it with the relay trigger to my high-beams for now. Eventually I'm going to run a pair of wires through the firewall and put a switch allowing on, on w/hi-beams, and off.
