Looks great. Are you going to sleep in it?

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

There is a sleeping bag all set up.

Another frmroll monster is nearly complete.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Love it, white ftw.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

FUCKIN SHIT. I broke the TPS and the IAC motor + plugs so the car RUNS (after 3 hours of figuring out why it wasn't getting spark (Hondata K-Pro needed the map to ACTUALLY be re-uploaded and it wasn't a live change) and now it runs, but is NOT driveable). The damn parts can only be ordered and parts stores don't have them. FML.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

lame.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Still great progress though! I like how you only need 4 IC couplers; plus the piping looks really clean.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

your lisence plate should be yulbsry

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

So the car stopped running again yesterday. Put the new TPS on, it started up, then it didn't read the TPS. I turned it off, got the TPS working in the K Pro. Then it stopped starting up.

AFTER 5 hours of checking shit out, found out it was the 4 bar MAP sensor that wasn't working. I put the stock map sensor back on it, then it STARTED RIGHT UP!

Got it running, put coolant in it, to find the thermostat housing leaking. After 2 hrs of calling around for a gasket, got it fixed. FIXED IT. NOW IT DRIVES.

and...today. Woke up to get the Optima battery recharged, it doesn't hold a charge and was mounted sideways in the fender so I couldn't get a NON dry cell battery in there, so I ended up relocating a regular battery to the passenger seat (temporarily) just so I could go give it a car wash and drive it.

AND FINALLY It's first tank of gas/e85

car wash.

and finally all washed up. Gotta take that sticker off the side, but was too tired after rubbing off the 6 yrs of rubber off the door (burnouts from slicks from the previous setup).

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

That looks sick. When's it getting tuned?

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Not sure... sometime soon after I do the Timing Chain Tensioner and make sure it's solid solid.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

we should do a 40 roll yo. hahah

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Shit looks sweet man. Gimme a ring if you ever need a hand.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

^X2. I'd love to see this car in action.

I'm liking the gold wheels, maybe I should get a set for my white beast!!?

Good luck getting it running solid.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

You should. Bronze + white is pretty cool imo.

Just got the wheels all balanced, now nothing shakes. The front left was off by 3 ounces... I was hoping it was the tire balance because I was afraid that maybe a control arm was loose. Dynoing sometime soon. Gotta do the timing chain tensioner, getting most of the interior put back in, gotta get the battery relocated and the passenger seat in.

The solid ass motor mounts, small steering wheel, super stiff coilovers, and responsive everything make it feel like its a race car, lol. Especially after driving a Kia and 1.7L Civic for the past month.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Civic :drool:

Let me know when you dyno.
I have nothing against the bronze combo, I'm sick of everyone and their mom running black wheels, but on my car it looks good. I need to get a fiber hood asap.

I don't remember, but I'm assuming you are running E85?
Any goals? track time at CFR in a couple weeks then?

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

^^ Thanks!

BTW... all tuned and good and running and tire spinning. =) Fuck it feels weird to have tires spin.

Got on the dyno today at DB Performance thanks to Shane!!!

After a few pulls and messing with the fuel pressure and running out of injector (cheap PTE 1000cc injectors I got - I may upgrade if I get a dual pump setup, a 5 spd, and a better clutch) so I was stuck at 18 psi.

Took it out on the highway... scary as shit with these little 205/50/16 Nitto Neo Gens. Spin in 4th, a lil spin in early 5th and it wants to go over to the other lanes...

First thought: WTF have I gotten myself into?
Second thought: There's a WRX on my ass trying to race me...
3rd thought: too much traffic.
4th thing: get more e85
5th thing: run into Wolf0573's 1g DSM on the hwy that he JUST SOLD and smoked it, lol. Then chatted with the kids.
6th thing: WTF have I gotten myself into?

...and it will continue with tires, trips to the track, and more stories to come.

AND it made it home in one piece!

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Nice numbers!

I'm assuming you must have some big fat slicks for the track then? Or is that still on the to-do list?

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Badass man. Nice clear headlights too! You'll have to take me for a spin sometime.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Goood shit cher I told u I got rimzzzzzzzz and tires!

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

orly nnnaate? O.o

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

nice numbers! looks fun

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Damn cher, thats some crazy good power. I cant wait to see it in person again. Matt does some really nice work with the IC piping.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Nice work Cher!! You got that thing going fast!! Enjoy the new ride!!

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

I made 350 at 18 psi, haha. Dang Hondas! Is there a reason it's dead on 11.0:1 AFR instead of the usual 11.5 I see?

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Nice! This thing must be a handful in the rain! Congrats on getting it all together, and yay no more yellow headlights!

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Yea, the K-series make a ton of power... I just ran outta injector-wish i coulda gone another 50-75whp haha; and the a/f was just to be on the safe side. The thing is a handful on the dry streets, it's not gonna see any boost in the rain.

Thanks for the posi comments for this little honda! =)

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

that's insane. wowsers. awesome numbers. get some 245s up front and see if that help lol.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Nice work Cher! You may have gotten that thing up and running in record time.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Sweet numbers! If only honda made an awd platform to have fun with!

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Very Nice, i want a ride. give me a shout sometime i want to see this.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Nice numbers! What does this have for a differential?

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Thanks, it's got a Wavetrac LSD.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Amazing build! You sure know how to sport a Honda!

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

Dude don't sell it, enjoyit for the summer! This thing is too sick not to have some fun with it.

Re: Back to 4 Cylinders
 

I dunno what to do with it other than keep it away from thieves lol.
