- Tue Jun 10, 2008 3:12 pm #57979 I also pulled out the carpet, the subwoofer and the (heavy) MDF cover I built, looks cool IMO

Have to re-lower the car though, looks like shit right now

Also made a deal with a guy I know;
I'm buying a B16B shortblock from him, wich is fitted with B18C-R internals
I'm prob. going to install Eagle rods and Wiseco pistons though, I want low/medium boost

First ride through Europe?
Cool, a lot of stuff to see then

Yeah I know I really can't wait am well looking forward to it now and its only 3 weeks away

- Thu Jun 12, 2008 6:23 pm #58238 I just finished changing my oil.
Before changing it I gave it an Wynns 'oil system cleaner' treatment, when changing the oil, it was pitch black, but luckily not like 'metallic paint'.
Changed the filter, new oil, and added a can of Wynns engine treatment stuff (if it doesn't help, it can't hurt it either).

After that, I let the car run untill it was at it's normal operating temperature, and took out my new compression tester... these are my scores, from the timing belt to the distributor;
1: 6.90 bar
2: 6.75 bar
3: 6.80 bar
4: 8.00 bar

Two years ago it was also tested, at 10.2 and 10.1, so I'm fucked.

- Sat Jun 14, 2008 6:22 am #58450 I did it wrong, no throttle.
Redid it yesterday afternoon at WOT;
1. 16.1 bar
2. 16.0
3. 16.1
4. 16.0

St00pid high, I don't get it... have to go and test the thing on another B16 I guess

- Tue Jun 17, 2008 5:23 pm #58873 Came across a nice deal for a new PLX SM-AFR wide band set on eBay today, so I ordered it

Let's hope it gets here quickly, I like toys hehe, for that matter, I think I should look for a nice A'pexi VAFC, just to have it

- Wed Jun 25, 2008 9:48 pm #59794 Received the PLX kit yesterday, but didn't see that the gauge wasn't included, so I had to order it yesterday after opening the package.

And for this weeks update;







Now let's clean it, and put on a nice color (dark grey).
And yes, P73 means that this is a B16B converted to a B18C spec R

- Sat Jun 28, 2008 12:42 pm #60055 Been working on the shortblock with a few clean cloths and some white spirit.
After a few drops of white spirit and a load of dirthy cloths;

- Thu Jul 24, 2008 10:35 am #63198 This morning I lowered the car again by about 1cm, looks much better than the 4x4 style







Also I ordered a turbokit from xs.power.com (Integra 'Cyclone' kit), and I'm in the process ordering a Moroso oilpan, waiting for the seller to reply my email.

- Fri Aug 15, 2008 7:00 am #66071 Moroso oilpan; not going to happen, aluminum is too weak for daily use, can't afford to bash it open on the first big rock I encounter.
Turbokit; cancelled, friend of mine had a better SSAC kit collecting dust in the bedroom.





Yesterday night; nice and tight; the i/c rests on 2 small stands I made, and one bar on the upside, just to be sure.

Today, piping

THAT has got to be...one of the most rediculous things...I...have ever seen...i dont even know what to say to seeing something like that

If you can't drive fast...look good.
