#359328 So it's been a sec since I gave an update.
Installed my tubular front control arms and maxed out positive camber for that hella good fitment mang

Image

Raised up the rear a bit to acquire a bit of poke
Image

Picked this up last week and painted it.
OEM EG Ferio wing from Japan.

Image

Pardon the dirty front wheel
Image

So thats where I am right now.
Running out of mods to do right now, so I'm just enjoying driving the car.
I think my map sensor might be going out. I'm experiencing a stumbling acceleration and it smells a lot like gas.
Well, stay tuned guys.

#359559 Alright so here's the dealio.
A lot has happened since the last update.
we thought the TPS was going bad because of a thrown code. Got a used one and replaced. code went away, problem did not.
Pics:
Image

Prior to my ownership of the car, it had sat without being run for 9 years. So the fuel tank was super rusty. Got a new one off eBay for $80, delivered in 2 days.

yuck
Image

Old tank out
Image

New one going in
Image

Also got a new fuel pump sock. Slapped those in.
Image


Image

Old vs. new
Image

Ready to go in
Image

SO all that being done, issue still persisted. FML right?
Okay so we narrowed it down to injectors. Pulled them and found this on one of them.
Image

Well just decided to say fuck it. Just soaked the injectors in seafoam overnight and then slapped them in and started it up. Wouldnt you know, it ran perfectly? Filled it up with gas, drove it for a good 3K miles. Felt really good to be driving her again.

LO AND BEHOLD. SHE FUCKS ME AGAIN.
Hit a really hard bump, starting making a weird noise (always a bad sign).
Took a look at the engine to locate the noise, the Crank pulley wasnt moving at all. No PS, no alternator charging.
Come to find out, the woodruff key sheared off, taking part of the keyway with it.

Image

the chattering also ruined the pulley/harmonic balancer
Image

fuck my life right?
I've sourced and bought a new woodruff key, pulley, and bolt. So now I'm going to tow the car to have the woodruff key welded to the keyway so it cant move. then we should be right as rain.

So now for some good news. Got some goodies over time.
Picked up this Z6 head that needs to have one of the valve cover bolt holes re-tapped. Other than that, its mint. also picked up the intake, throttle body, and vtec solenoid for it.
All for around $50.

Image

Also "Acquired" this speed limit sign.
Might turn it into a skid plate, who knows.
Image

So thats all I have right now, be sure to check back for more progress!
Stay tuned

#359658 Okay so been a sec since my last update. things have gotten somewhat rowdy. :hehe: :P

So first, you guys remember that I had hit a raccoon and smashed half the paint off my front bumper. Well I finally got around to ordering my new bumper for $63 off eBay. Painted using the Rustoleum Paint + Primer in Gloss white, matched perfectly.

Image

after

Image

It only gets worse from here :hehe:
made my way down to S&S Exhaust in Jacksonville (Y'all in Jax know them) and had them do a lil' somethin' somethin'.


What's missing?
Image
Image

Muffler cut off, Welded on this obnoxious, boso tip which I love
Image
Image

So it now pops in between shifts which is totally okay with me
Next, I picked this Momo Daytona XL racing seat up for $60 so thats pretty rad
Image
Image

Next, I picked up this OEM radio from a Del Sol, which is cool because my stock one was absolutely dicked. slapped it in and fiddled with the speakers to get them to work.
Image
Image

The radio worked great for about 2 days and then one day started smoking so I took it out and slapped this coin/cupholder in place of it. Gonna tinker with the radio to try and find the issue.
Image

Now I had posted way earlier about my old EF hatch, Timothy.
I sold that car to my mom in Late February to afford the Dub FelgenWerks that are currently on my car. Well, she's not using it so I picked up some old struts and threw on some eBay sleeves that I had laying around.
Also picked up some BBS reps (15x8, +20 with bald 195/50/15) and slapped them on timothy which resulted in this.
These wheels have been sold, but I'm in the process of buying them back since this setup looked so damn good.
Image

So that's all I have for you guys at the moment. Plans from here on out are to just enjoy driving the car. Need to start showing it the TLC that it needs.
Stay tuned guys! Follow me on Instagram @Stance_God

#359794 Hey guys so it's been almost a month since my past update.
Nothing much had changed up until this past friday, 10/14/16.

Traded my Dub FelgenWerks for a set of Diamond Steelies :D
Take a look!

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Diamond Racing Steelies 15x8, 0 offset. 165/45/15 in the front and 195/50/15 in the rear.

Eventually, I want to get a pair of 165/45 for the rear as well, but these will do for now.
I actually had to take one of the locking rings off the rear camber kits to allow for an extra bit of camber to make the 195/50 fit.
As of right now, the car is out of commission due to another crank pulley failure. We didn't tighten the crank pulley bolt down enough.I'm sourcing a new one and I'll slap it on and call it a day.

Thanks for looking guys! I post a lot more on Instagram than I do here, so follow me!

Yeah I'll keep them blue for a good while, but the end goal is to paint them white :wink:

#359816 So I picked up a hood bra and adjusted the front ride height a bit so I wouldn't be scraping on literally everything
I'm also battling with some rubbing issues in the rear so I have to get that sorted out too.
Here are some pics!

#360956 Ok so I was having major rubbing issues in the rear due to the 195/50/15 tires, so I swapped them out for these bad boys

Achilles Economist 165/45/15

Image

which led to this

Image

no more rubbing! I've never been a big fan of camber, so in the rear, the camber is only a few degrees.

So then I picked up this used Momo Monte Carlo off ebay for $95 shipped. probably not the best deal but whatever

Image

Now, the clutch has been sticking on me in the past few weeks, causing the car to stick in gear eventually causing me to stall. not fun.

after some snooping, I found out that the cause was a blown Clutch slave cylinder. Picked a new one up at Advance Auto with a limited lifetime warranty for $18.

swapped it out within 45 minutes or so

here's the old vs. new

Image

So that's all I have for you guys right now, I have some packages coming in the mail soon, so stay tuned! :D
