I hope you realize that you are defending someone who is essentially throwing around the word gay casually, which can be incredibly offensive to the LGBTQ community. I am not offended, but my gay friend will be if he saw this.
That's a nice DA9 integra! Might going to look at one myself today. If you need any help, that car is right up my alley. Cheers. Here's the one I might grab.
You're being that guy right now. It's a three-letter word. You can choose to ignore it, and move on like the rest of us. Or you can do what you're doing right now, which is completely derailing this thread.
As someone who is Bi and has a boyfriend I have no problem with people using the word gay in that context. It's really not offensive at all...
Every "offensive" situation I've ever encountered is someone unrelated taking offence on someone elses behalf. Yeah that never happened.
Oh it happened, i just posted it in the wrong thread. it was supposed to go into the general car discussion thread. and i did not dodge traffic. and it was eight months ago. as for the shenanigans i was just in, i do apologize.
Yesterday my radiator fan throws a blade and puts a hole in my rad just for good measure. Decided to upgrade to an aluminium core with a low profile fan that should clear my header this time. Have 1 hour to install it today let's see how it goes. --- Post updated --- Part 2 Ok not bad at all. Bleeding it now. Some fun pics.
So, you only use half of a radiator? That brings up a story I've got too, a friend of mine had a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and he loved to hate that thing. It was too slow, too small, couldn't pull anything, it sat too low, there were a dozen things not to like about it, but it flatout refused to die. and we tried to kill it too. It had a 4.0 I-6, and he'd drive through town with it locked in first, bouncing off the limiter. We'd probably jumped it a dozen times. It did not have an easy life. Anyway, one day we were just out riding around in the woods, when he heard a terrible scraping noise and started to get really hot. We pulled over and found the water pump had shit the bed and the fan had tunnel-bored it's way halfway through the radiator. That means we lost the belt too, so we had no power steering or alternator, either. We were probably 15 miles from a main road, and about 30 miles from town, way out of phone reception or CB range. So we pulled the fan off, filled the radiator with creek water, and headed for the highway. We had to stop twice and fill the radiator back up, but after it drained itself a third time, we didn't care anymore we just kept pushing along. The temp guage was pegged at 260 and we just didn't care. It made it back to the highway and 5 minutes of 60 MPH back to my house, where it sat for 3 months until I got tired of looking at it, so I put a new water pump on it and dropped it back off at his house again, No worse for wear. This is the only picture I can find with that Jeep in it, It's in the foreground on the left.
Nice try, for my application it's a full rad and than some. Some use double core but honestly even this one I have is good enough for boost and road racing. Just drove thru town stop and go and didn't bother wiring the fan. Max coolant temp was 190f steady. When your car pisses coolant it sucks but the rads in Hondas take all of 10 minutes to replace.
Epic win. I didn't replace the water in my cooling system with anti freeze so I got home last night and it's 15 degrees fahrenheit. There was most certainly a space heater sitting between my radiator support and headers last night. Edit: I forgot to say I was driving home and the temps start rising. Mind you the car Sat for 20 minutes tops. I check it at home and the top of the rad is steaming hot and the bottom was frozen enough that removing the drain plug did almost nothing. The heater thawed everything out and now I'm about to fill it and bleed it again. I hate winter.
That is without a doubt, the first time I've ever seen a Volvo wagon on a dyno. Speaking of dyno's, a couple years back a buddy of mine broke the dyno with his 24 valve Cummins, that was the first time he'd ever dyno-ed that truck, and the last. He started the pull in 6th gear and as soon as he layed into it the dyno starting smoking. He killed the dyno. Party was over. I've got a video of it somewhere too. We never did see what kind of power it actually could make, but when it crapped out he was already close to 700 horse, I forget what the tq was, but it had to well over 1,000. Here's a couple pictures of the truck in question, and the dyno it killed, about half a second before it's death.
Got some goodies today. Bought this sweet ass cusco rear strut tower bar for my Ek, along with oem civic type r springs and shocks to complete my type r conversion. Also picked up a cheap action cam, expect to watch me get my rice cooked by all my friends with faster cars.
These cars literally don't exist in the northeast anymore. None of the 90s Japanese cars do except Corolla and Camry. Then the odd manual Accord/Civic.
Any ideas for this strange non-RPM related knock my engine has developed? Sounds like someone clunking two glass jars together. First video from my new Moto G4 Plus. (Yes, they announced the G5 literally two days after my G4 came in the mail)
I bit the bullet and bought her. With the civic destroyed I need to be back up and running as soon as possible. 1991 crx si shell. It's on tein adjustable coil overs with energy suspension bushings all around sway bars included. 99-00 si wheels. Painted CF hood. Its pretty clean and everything lines up pretty well so I'm happy with the car. I need to convert from obd0 to 1, and I need mounts and cable to hydro clutch conversion. The civic was a porky 2600+ pounds with all its bourgeois luxury equipment, and I'm expecting the crx to weigh no more than 2200 With a full tank of gas without any weight reduction. My wisdom teeth are coming out tomorrow, perfect timing as always. I might document the swap.
Got some new wheels, also replaced what i believe to be the original radiator. Don't honestly know how it was holding coolant. It was pretty bad... It also broke down for the first time... Distributor failed, cap melted and rotor was trashed, coil was shot. Pretty common on these b18's.
