iunno but that paint is so sexxi lmao ...paint like that would look nice with my wheels

 

well, out LATE last night, but got most of the car back together and enough together to get it started... started up fine and sounded alright ... so now to continue throwing it back together to have it ready to come out

 

u gotta get it readi so u can drive to my house for the swap

 

my insurance doesn't kick on till April 1st....

 

ohhhh. u suck

 

UGHHH this is bs... thought I was done figured i'd have some simple adjustments get rid of the engine light, had an o2 sensor (#2)...and had missfire cyl 1,2,3.... now I have missfire cyl 1,3,random. When I took the car in I had random missfire, and possibly more that I didn't know about... New Plugs (gapped to spec), New wires, tried moving plugs around, tried movie injectors around... i've hear possibly rotor/cap... gonna check compression next time i'm up... any other ideas from ppl who have had this issue, what fixed your problem?

 

Check maybe your timing, it could be off.

 

its not timing, we've checked over and over, and i've had like 3 of my buddies (2 of them being mechanics and the other whos done it a few times on some cars) all checked again and again and saw everything lined up really close...

it went from cyl 1,2,3... and then I adjusted the valves to 1,3,random (with o2 both times)... from what I read for something like that its a good chance of plugged injectors... (causes it to run lean and trips the o2)... But gonna have it compression tested by my friend, and rule that out (HOPEFULLY)...

 

so pictures of the car back together patrick?

 

Where did you go to get the powder coating?? and what's the colour code you used? I found that place on Millen rd called MES powdercoating and if I supply the paint it's $30/rim lol

 

thats actually where I went, is MES powdercoating. I donno the paint code, I told him I wanted it gunmetal, he said he had 2 shades so I just told him to choose one for me. He does powdercoating for my work, so thats how I knew about him, have known him for 6 years.

 

Did they also sand down the valve cover. or was yours mint it didnt need any sanding

 

they don't do sandblasting themselves, but yes mine had to be sandblasted.

 

I want to get mine done properly. Polish the Honda Motor Co. And paint it 24k Gold(not real gold lmao, just the look of real gold)

 

I machined my honda motor co...did it myself at my work...

 

Oh. Do you have anything for sale. ill be in your area this tuesday

 

uhhh nothing for sale other than a gsr exhaust lol... after the cat. back... so mid pipe and exhaust lol thats about it...everything else was garbage that I took off the car

 

Pat, what did it cost you for the powdercoat? i got a spare one i want done it's already blasted.

 

lol well I got a deal since i've known the guy for 6 years...I can ask him how much it'll cost, what colour would you want done? red? a certain shade? etc

 

That's awesome.. I was chatting with the one guy in there last week and he said if I get the paint from Tiger drylac that he could do it for $30/rim.. So I might get my front/rear LCAs, valve cover, and trailing arms all powder coated the same colour..

List of colours:

I was thinking of "Sahara Gold" or "Sungold Metallic" for the rims and things and a Royal blue for the car colour.. Kind of like the subaru blue/gold :P

Just outta curiosity, where did you get your stuff sandblasted? The guy at MES recommended a place on Kenora but I can't remember the name of it for the life of me I was lucky to remember the tiger drylac name for the paint

 

I had him take it to the place to get sandblasted so no idea. There used to be a place right across the street from my work that you'd throw them some money or whatever and they'd do it for ya...but they moved...so I donno where he takes it now...guess the place he told you lol.

 

i had a set of control arms sandblasted at ace's sandblasting in grimsby or smithville....it was out in the sticks somewhere.

for small stuff i just use my brothers blasting cabinet


Pat, i haven't decided on a colour yet. i had plans to do the theme of my fav F1 Driver and team but my driver switched teams and the team got bought out.

i was gonna do all white with a stripe like this going through it
like this:

and have my drivers logo on it like this flag has

 

well those who haven't kinda seen or whatever... motor blew up! nice huge hole in the block...so I gotta rip it apart and see wtf happened cuz I didn't hear any weird noises before it happened or anything so... investigative work time... i'll have pics up when i'm not so lazy (of the car rest of winter work, ps removal etc. car out...and the hole)

 

Shitty. Maybe too much pressure in the engine?

 

^lol wut?

it's not a balloon, you'll blow a seal before your block pops.

shitty deal Pat, sorry to hear. put it this way, now's a good time to build up an LS or B20 Bottom end. save what you can from the block like the oil pump, main girdle, pan and pick up. timing belt and water pump too if it's new.

 

dam thats shitty Pat...like Buff stated it is a good time to build something up now. always look on the positive side of things
