Guess who's back! I finally got a job ( only seasonal, working my ass off to become part time). Ended up getting a few things that were a steal. And also, i ended up getting a DSLR for better picture quality and just because i want to try something for the upcoming year.
Updates on the car:
-Cousin's Friend's car ended up crashing his integra so i got his rear disc conversions for $30. But one of the trailing arms was bent so had to get another one from the junk yard. basically $90 as to $150-200.
-Saw someone selling a God Speed X-bar for like $180 on craigslist so i was like why not! We actually talked for a couple of minutes and he wanted to sell it just cause his civic wasn't really a family car and he was parting out his car in order to get a more suited car.
-And i finally painted my valve cover, it isn't as legit as i thought it would be just because i didn't have the right materials. And the place i live in, it's really windy and i unfortunately have to fix my car on rubble ground as opposed to cement. Also, i don't have a garage so i'm struggling even more. Wanted to go a little "Galaxy" type of theme but i have a different color way i want to try so it'll look nice when i paint my car.
Recently did a headgasket change due to loss of coolant, whole new timing belt, water pump and tensioner. Problems kept on coming up which was annoying. I still haven't found out why my idle bogs/hesitates when i accelerate at low rpm. I checked my mechanical timing everything lined up correctly, did a tune up, changed distributors with my cousin to see if i have to change any part of my distributor, checked the resistance of my injectors after warming it up, and i still haven't found out the culprit. But so far thanks to TrailerTrash and teal_dx for the help!
I know my pictures aren't as great as other users on here but i'll get better eventually! Trying to get better just so i can be able do justice to a little 365 day project that i am trying to achieve. Unfortunately, the car doesn't run as of right now. Stay tuned!
