Thank you, thank you.
Yep! That's my dad's. It's actually some GM color he painted it when he was 17. It has a 440 bored to a 446, 1150 dominator carb, aluminum rods, high compression blah blah blah... It's on the stock body though and not tubbed. It runs 10.50's on the motor and he has gone a best of 9.96 on a small shot. Here's some more pics! It really is a beautiful car.

Thank you! Yes, you may have missed my suspension setup because I never posted it. I'm extremely embarrassed about it. I'm on stock shocks all around (that have been replaced with more stock shocks over the years) and ebay sleeves that someone gave to me. I put it all together when I was 16 and have concentrated on other things since. I did however make 2.5" extended top hats in the rear. That helped. My front UCAs don't smack off the shock towers because the shock body bottoms out first :P . Pretty lame, I know, but I'd rather have that hit than the UCA.

AWW SHUCKS, YOU.

Thank you! I got up this morning and saw that Oxer had posted in my thread and was like WHAT ARE YOU SERIOUS. Thank you very much, sir.

Are their laws for no power adders down there? That stinks. I think I'd cry.

There will hopefully be some cool pictures today because Stu just got here in his "racecar" and we are going to have some good old fashioned fun and whatnot. Maybe even race. Racecar vs. Streetcar yo.

[M.Doban]

So I finally got some good pictures of the wheels. Stuart made a thread of them in the Showroom but I thought I'd post some here because I have this thread as a link in my sig here and a couple other forums. It'd just be nice to have them in one place. Thanks again, Stu (Funfgang)!

Our cars were horribly dirty. Yuck. And I need spacers. Also yuck.

[MommysLittleMonster]

I am so sorry that you have to hang out with Stuart.



But seriously, car looks good!

UGH. It's such a pain. But whatever. It gets me cool pictures.

Are the old Accord shocks shorter or something? What is your reason for running them if I may ask?
GREAT. Go buy one. They are cheap and make your front end look sick nasty aggressive.

Lucky. I wish I could go lower. Stupid tall B-series junk hanging out all over the place.
I'd like to see the wago. Do you have a link to pics or a build thread?

[M.Doban]

So today I just did some little stuff I had been wanting to get around to but just haven't.

The first thing was to adjust the rear brake shoes because they weren't grabbing and only the fronts would lock up in gravel. CHECK. (No pics of that because that would be lame).

I then made a dumptube and took my wastegate apart, cleaned and painted it, as well as lapped the valve in with valve grinding compound ( It had gotten a bit rusty inside and I could see light through the valve seat). I only took pictures of the dumptube. I've actually been running without one for a couple months last year and a week or so this year. Last year, my old one just fell off in a driveway. It was so weird. The welds didn't crack or anything like that and the bolts didn't come out... the steel just cracked all the way around. I would guess from the extreme heat, but I don't really know. So this one is thicker tubing.





The last thing I did was to get my old cargo cover to fit around the roll bar. I had started this when I was like 17 and just gave up thinking I would never be able to finish it properly. Little did I know I was about 20 minutes away from completion. It's always really cool to see something we did years ago and think, "why did I do it that way?" or "oh my gosh this is so easy now, why didn't I just use this method instead?"

Well... I think that stuff's cool at least. But anyways, my car is now like .2% closer to looking like a stock Civic. Yaay!







I also painted the intercooler semi-gloss black. More stock Civic points.
