    Hello, my friends. Baltimore received a fuck ton of snow today so no progress could be made to any of the builds. On another note my twin was nice enough to drive me around today so I could get provisions(Food and Arizona half and half because all my vehicles were unable to drive in this weather) and we ended up having a little adventure and went snow wheeling. I respect all builds and love his truck! 89 s10 4x4 5.5 lift with 33 all terrain tires. Hopefully this snow is gone soon so more progress can be made.







    And on a side note here is a pic of my instagram so you cool people can follow me and in turn i'll follow back because id love to see what projects and builds you guys are up too

    Bad luck 2 days straight in a row

    yeah so i've had just horrible luck recently and i don't know why. Ive had below 0 weather, snow, and even more snow which wouldn't be a problem but it just makes me un productive. I haven't been able to mess with the crx (JUST A MESS), still having issues with the sedan (Gotta bleed the clutch fluid gots air in the system), and then my eg hatch had its run of issues.

    I was driving someone to school, just about a mile and a half drive. I took my eg hatch THE DAILY and boom when i got to her school my tire debeaded.

    To make matters worse when it takes 2 blocks of wood to jack up your car with a fully inflated tire, it took me 5 pieces of wood to jack it up in its current state. My twin just so happened snapped a pic



    So i threw on a steelie on it and got it home. I was so lucky that I bought that other mystery vehicle. So the tire was trashed, I was able to grab a used tire for $30 from a spanish shop up the street but they couldn't mount the tire. Guys tried for 30 mins with no success.

    I went to another shop and they guy told me it was impossible and that i wouldnt want that size tire on that size rim (its only a 175/55 on a 9). I was like, guy i got 3 more already mounted a home and had them for 1 year no issue. Welp i then tried mounting them at home with some starting fluid and fire. No success at all. I'll get it mounted somehow. here a pic for you ppl



    So i woke up this morning and guess what, for some strange reason the other front tire debeaded on me ;,( Life is just kicking me in the balls right now

    Luckily this tire wasn't driven on so it wasn't damaged. So I in the cold and snow just ****** life as a pissed off guy did this

    "Girls cant help but to love guys with DIAMONDS"

    So to add to my long list of long list of things to do it goes at follows

    1. Figure out the issue with the crx coolant system
    2. Fix the damn crx and make it drive-able
    3. Bleed the clutch system on the sedan and make it drive-able (Won't go into gear atm)
    4. pull the rear quarters on the eg hatch (Got rubbing issues)
    5. Fix the eg hatch exhaust (Scraping more then usually, hanger probably came loose)
    6. install eg hatch bwr rear LCA and Subframe brace
    7. Introduce the new vehicle when everything on the list is fixed =]

    Updates Updates Updates

    So i was doing some cleaning and found a b16 y1 cable transmission from a previous build that has been sitting around for like 2 years in my closet. Decided I'd post that up on the forum and get rid of it. After being bluffed a bunch of times I talked to a guy who didn't have an cash but he happened to have something that was worth trading for. So he drove down i cracked open the transmission for him to inspect and he drove off with the transmission...

    Bye Bye


    Say hello to BWR LCA and Sub Frame Brace. Yes they are pink sadly. I wanted purple but beggars can't be choosers. Really dirty when I got them

    Before Cleaning







    Took some brake cleaner I had laying around and Boom Shiny





    So I'm happy with how they look, gotta grab a lower pink tie bar so i have a complete set. I also bought a new vehicle. Won't show any updates on that until i start doing crazy things with it. But till then some more shots of the eg hatch.

    You know just getting some gas







    Checking out for now

    More Updates

    Hey guys so some things happened. First off my clutch in my eg sedan lost all pressure and wouldn't engage. Simple took me 5 seconds to figure out it didn't have any fluid in the slave cylinder



    Filled it up and boom problem solved.

    Next the crx, i started messing with that, so i put it on jack stands and crawled under it

    Couldn't figure out why or where it was leaking coolant so I jump started it



    and sure enough





    Coolant everywhere. Ive narrowed it down and i first thought it was coming out the hole on the far right.



    Plugged it up with jb weld and again started the crx.... Still leaking coolant so i will again crawl under it and keep up the search. However in the mean time i thought that those deb felgenwerks weren't being put to good use so BOOM







    So yes the hunt continue to fix the damn crx. It shouldnt be long, I'll see where tomorrow brings me. BTW the xxrs are for sale hopefully someone buys those damn things from me !

    Quick Updates For Those Who Enjoy Reading Builds !

    Hey stance family, friends and what not's. I just wanted to chime in because I can never sit still, I like the recent positive posts because it just reminds me that others still respect other peoples work even if its not their personal cup of tea. Welp remember that $600 eg sedan well I did say the dr 54's were specifically purchased for that car and with my friend

    Mr. Hammer

    &

    Miss Hello Kitty bat, the wheels are on with no rubbing. Yayyyyyyyyyyy!!! rejoice



    Yes I am being serious. Those are the tools which i've always used to roll fenders on every car I've ever owned. Some can say "WTF MAN" or "BUY A FENDER ROLLER" or "YOU FUCKED UP YOUR ALREADY SHITTY CARS" but hey. 20 year old Honda needs some clearance and there will be getting painted in the future so oh wells.

    I did decided to wash the vacuum the eg sedan though because it has yet had the chance to sparky and shine with LOVE. So here are some pics

    Opening all four doors



    Before: It was pretty gross. Last owner was a slob. this pic shows after all the paper, receipts, toy cars and trash. Granted the carpet needs some serious shampooing.



    After: Nice and clean



    Now for a nice bath. After shots of the cleanest this car has been in a very long time












    The car cleans up pretty well. Im not even close to being satisfied with the ride height but when you think well he's only in for $600 for the car, $350 for the wheels, suspension were a gift from my hatch back. For under $1000 I have this reliable car which I would drive anywhere.

    But thats not all

    Remember this guy?



    Its now his turn. Lets go back and discuss the issues with this CRX. So during the summer it blew a headgasket which i replaced. I even had the head honed just in case even though the car never over heated. I slapped the engine back together and then the car sat and has been neglected. So recently I've begun messing with it again, jump started it and it stated and idle fine. I even let the car idle for 20 mins to make sure nothing was wrong. However, it begun over heating when i tried driving it around my apartment complex. ATM i do not know for certain why it happened.

    What i do know is that its leaking coolant from behind the block or underneath the header. So conclusion, the cooling system has issues whether i forgot to plug up a hose or maybe a hose exploded or even a crack in the cooling system. Its not a huge problem and when it stops snowing it'll be my number one priority.

    However, i did finally find something i've been searching for since i first bought the car. Boom for $100 i got a front core support, 2 mint 88 si crx doors, and 2 fenders. YES!?! drove to York to grab them but it was quite a bundle for $100.





    fenders are behind both doors. Hard having car hobbies when you live in an apartment. Thats what happened so far, I'll keep in touch because i can't sit still. It might be a little slow because this past Monday I also started my final semester at the University of Baltimore. In 16 weeks however i'll have my Bachelors Degree and have all the time in the world for more projects!
