That interior looks minty!

Thanks man. Well the dash at least, can't say that for the rest of it lol.

Today: Stripped the rest of the A/C lines, installed ES Shifter Bushings, and Torqued down the front subframe. I have to say I think re-torquing the front subframe actually made the car feel a lot better. Bumps and turns feel smoother not sure of subliminal but to it does. Recommend it if you haven't already.




So much more room for activities
:shock:

Awesome pics, but ugly ass civic. I need to start working my esthetics soon. Got 5th place, because I was racing like an idiot and not paying attention to the proper lines. Better luck next week(15th).

I think it's sexy! If it just had some black housed headlights :drool:
Haha thanks man, you're being too nice.

Traded some steel wheels for this GSR transmission. Has a broken final drive, not a bad fix, I have some parts lying around.

Placed 3rd in my class this event, I have another one on July 5th. Hopefully I can get some decent times. I have to give a shoot out to Grassroots Motorsports they had an article on tires and turns out RE11's like a higher PSI than most. I ran them 36 psi cold and 39 psi hot. Huge difference in rotating the rear and transition through obstacles.

Working on making a DIY Icebox. I have the the air box, ITR intake tube, and CT Engineering foam filter. Still need to get a velocity stack and PVC piping.

Event #4 completed, I got 4th place. I was a tough course and couldn't keep the car in the powerband with tight pinches. Need to get the head replaced, rear toe adjusters replaced and an alignment. I have almost a month to do it.

Head Rebuild is tougher than expect because of the condition of the Exhaust valves with extreme build up. But here's the Intake valve before and after cleaning, being lapped and my new extended manifold studs for my Thermal Intake gasket.
Less painful with a good flick :)

Screwed up in rebuilding the head. I should have checked it and I was too worried about cleaning the valves and noticed too late. So pulled out my spare bare had I bought for $40.
