So, my friend and I went out and made 2 vids today

A fly by and an in car view. working on getting them uploaded as we speak...

like i said before......flip the spring....leave open iabs at all times.


or buy a s2 mani

 

[imcnblu]

How do I flip the spring?

Because I'm not sure if they are stuck open now, or closed. It doesn't move at all right now. And not sure whether they are already stuck open, or if they are stuck closed.

S2 manifold might happen before the meet. Not sure yet, though.

VTEC is hard to hear as the IABs aren't working, so you can't hear the changeover as well as you normally would, but trust me, it's there
Also doesn't help that my friends camera on his phone pics up more wind noise than you can imagine. Makes hearing the car hard, altogether.

He's also fingering the camera in the fly by vid (note the obstruction in the upper left hand corner of the first vid)

Nothing to elaborate .....open them and rig with the spring to stay open. Lots of noob questions you got there guru

 

[guiltyxxspark]

I'm excited to see this thing at the meet.

Haven't had time to work on it lately.

Anyone know of any autocross in the Northern Virginia area? Now that I have a motor that is as adequate as my suspension, I'd like to see what I can do in some good spirited competition.

If you know of anything, let me know.

so Jake, I'm not too familiar with the insurance system in the states but after the tree fell on your car, did they not write the car off? over here in canada, they would have written the car off and place a salvage title to only use as parts only.

your car has come a long way, looks great.

 

[imcnblu]

actually, my car was written off about 3 years ago. declared a total loss (aka, totaled)

I crashed when I lost control of the car, and slid into a fence post. Bending up the passenger front fender, but otherwise, fine.

Everything was purely cosmetic. Though, the estimate for repair was rather high, and the insurance totaled it. When a car is totaled, you have the option to "buy it back" from the insurance company (which I did) and within 2 weeks, it was back on the road, and there was no indication of a wreck. Fixed it myself for CHEAP.

Though, when you buy a car back, its given what is known as a Salvage/Rebuilt title. Thus, making it ineligible for Full Coverage (without jumping through LOTS of hoops in order to PROVE the car is in 100% perfect working order). So, when the tree fell on it, I was on my own when it came to repairing. So, I didn't even bother reporting this with the insurance, as they weren't going to cover it at all.

Car was off the road for almost a year. But, now its back in full force, and better than ever.
