Project Hatch version 2.0

[Andy]

Not sure how you figure that, but i'm all ears..

i really liked how the shifter felt before, stock civic shifter + gsr linkage...

so who knows.

You extended the lever so you've increased the distance.

[navin]

Dah, I wasnt even thinking when i posted that. I guess i'll be testing it out whenever my car gets off jackstands.

I'd like to see if the shifter position will be a good enough trade off for shift distance..

[Feersty]

Nice progresso Navin. What are your future plans? Honda Challenge? Time Trails?

[navin]

Def. not honda-challenge, might try a time trial in the future, not near future though.

just gonna enjoy the car.

[navin]

...fuck

And to keep this technical, Coors light kegs ARE NOT the same size as regular 1/2 size kegs... they bulge out more Hence the ghetto-ness..

[Maengelito]

i've got a kegorator too... those kegs with the bulge in the middle fuck things up for everyone

[navin]

did you think i was dead..?!?!

well after totalling the daily POS Ep3, and other things in life I am kind of back in the swing of getting this car ready. The damn weather is making me just fiend tracking the car..

the rear suspension is finally gonne be done!



rear camber adjusters



rear toe adjusters



rear TA bushings..


**all spherical, all the time. if you like your kidneys/back, dont ride in my car***

[navin]

***yo RJ****

does this look right?



I can phyiscally move the metal collar where the bolts go into, but the rubber (purple janx) expands/etc, is something wrong or am i just freaking out?

ballz!

[.RJ]

Navin, they're fine - the metal shaft has to move with the suspension

[navin]

Werd..

Time to get these bitches pressed in today, and then put the rear of the car back together...

And then I get to take the front of the car apart, yay!

[navin]

Heh, just got the rear TA bushings pressed in for the amazing price of $0.

Thanks to my buddy Tracy at Advanced Automotive, dude comes into my cars. I give him free beer, and he presses in my bushings

Anyways, going to pick up a front sway/lca's/etc this weekend, so I'll be visiting him again to get I think Orijin front LCA bushings + Mugen Compliance bushings.. wewt

And because I have more pix I never uploaded, here you go.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

some chit i forgot to post up..

sp00m mirrors - hate those mickey mouse EG mirrors



bye-bye whale penis..

[navin]

wewt!

Rear TA's are on, just need to go back and tighten/torque all the bolts down. Was gonna do the ebrake cables, but I think i'll just use a buddies lift and make it that much easier on myself

Next up is making some money to order new bling - Orijin Spherical Front Lower/Upper LCA bushing's, and Mugen compliance bushings, Mugen OilPan, and a fresh set of Azenis.

I just might be seeing you fools at VIR in March if all goes well, and if you really wanna help come in to my bar, HAH!

EDIT : Oh yea, some drunk retard at my house (not myself for once!) knocked over my GSR radiator from where i had it stashed away. Looks like a good number of the fins are somewhat bent. :evil: Hooray for pissing away $100, and now I have to go buy another radiator.

[Mike]

the new bushings making a noticeable difference?

[navin]

Well it sure takes a hell-u-va lot more effort to move the rear TA's manually

And I like the piece of mind of getting rid of all the old worn bushings.

[Andy]

Good work. Quietly making progress, I see. Hope to see you out at VIR.

[.RJ]

the new bushings making a noticeable difference?

They will but its not huge.

Replacing the rear TA bushings and front LCA bushings with sphericals will get you 90% of the benefit.

[navin]

m0re bling..

[ScottyB]

those wheels are so hot, good color choice too

[.RJ]

good color choice too

Wrong.

They arent gold!

[navin]

I do have a spare set of K1's laying around.... :evil:
