- Sat Sep 03, 2011 1:08 am #270150 ok so im kinda bumbed out :( . i havent done anything to the hatch yet. do to the fact that i got a bs ticket for not stopping at a stop sign :roll: .

so any ways i was doing some cleaning when i noticed that i have a hole in the rear inner fender :x . so tomorrow im going to try and patch it.

also i have to remove my rear camber kits and put some anti-seize on them because tiresplus didnt and they broke a locking nut that i have to replace. so this weekend is going to be fun :thumbdown:

- Sat Sep 03, 2011 11:57 pm #270284 its a great motor, very peppy. if you want more torque, get a gsr or a k24. they have the same hp rating as the b16a.

the only reason i got it, was so i can have the original motor in it. plus i wanted to build a poormans ctr but found out the block is to short.

- Sun Sep 04, 2011 7:45 pm #270366 Yea i want to get a gsr block and put ctr pistons in it with the b16a head. But I still dont know. I kinda like the b16a.

The only thing I dont like about it is 5th gear, doing 70mph your doing 4k rpms kinda sucks but if you have to go around someone it moves.

- Sun Sep 11, 2011 1:17 am #271288 so today i changed out my trans fluid and revoved my lca's to put anti-seize on the bolts so i can remove them later on with out a problem. but i have one stuck :x the driver side lca has two seized bolts. one on the shock and the other on the trailing arm.

tomorrow im going to change my coolant, do a seafoam treatment , and clean out the throttle body.

- Fri Sep 23, 2011 7:35 pm #274035 Well a couple of days ago, I was trying to remove one of the seized bolts. It broke, so today I got it out without fucking up my coilovers, and at the same time I got the bushings replaced with energy suspension. :thumb:

So now I have one more to remove then I will be done, but I wont do that till I get S2 lca's for looks and to hook up my rear swaybar as well as replacing two more bushings.
