Lack of knowledge at that age is normal. Next time show him under the hood and explain to him that the rx7, 240 and others are all direct competition but you like this one. Its not that they are the best but I definitely say they have a lot of easy potential and even more HARD to achieve...

I would freshen the motor up so you dont have to touch the motor again. Then you know its good and dont have to question it down the road.

I was using chevron 94 or shell 91 for the most part in my last turbo car. 4500 seems like its about right I guess. If I keep the 7m I am going to run a custom FFIM so I will be able to change to a GM 3 wire map sensor and maybe even find a good temp sensor to go in there. I keep looking at my...

I guess my first question is why are you buying new pistons? Are you having to bore out the block? Stock pistons will work for the horsepower your looking for. I heard for basic power the probe pistons are forged so they should work fine. Wiseco pistons are available at supra store if you want...

Good to see your out driving your car. Sorry to hear about the issues with your motor right now. I cant wait to see what happens when you put the new HKS controller on. How much did that controller run you? Are you going to replace the original MAF with a MAP and Temp sensor setup? I vote new...

Well I found some acrylic to put in at a decent enough price. I will be leaving the front window unless I can get this stuff dot approved. http://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/bcpartlist.php?make=Toyota&carcode=MA70A&intake=FI#other as well as...

I have a rod that would allow a fight on all those levels... in fact I remember landing a 9 foot sturgeon. The reel is the part I talked about before which handles 1-100lbs. Very versatile setups are good for beginners or people who want a do all setup. If you really want a fun setup get a fly...

I have no problem making someone run a red lol... my issue is when I originally posted this thread my SUV made a smoke show so big you couldn't see the light or the car. From inside the car I bet you couldn't even see the dash considering he had the windows open. I dont think the camera would...

Thank you beals, I have leaned towards putting the motor in. The reason I have taken this long to do the rebuild is because I have really really stupid machinists in my area and have been waiting on them to finish the block. The plan has always been to put a 1jz vvti motor in but I was wondering...

you are a god!!! Thank you so much for finding these lol

So I am nearing the end of my stupidly long rebuild on my 7m and I have everything I need to put it back together. Now my question I have is.... should I put this one back in or should I just go to a 1jz/2jz swap right now while I have it out and sell my 7m parts. Since I live in Western...

Just to prove that if its done right a civic can be nice I will get pictures of my friends 97 ek civic. Its running between 350-400hp and he is putting 245's front and rear with 17's on there when I last showed up. His biggest issue is putting all that power down to the ground and this wheel...

I am so glad I revived this thread with a new story. I see many people who are having a great time with this now lol I think the reason honda owners think their cars are so great is because of the Honda name brand being so big being built behind their bikes. Truthfully... the honda motorbike is...

As a point to be made, the Abu Garcia reels are stainless steel and plastic lol. No rust on those. My rod is an 11' Fenwick Canadian Methods rod that I paid just over $100 for. I have caught well over 100 20+lb fish including many many days of 30+lb Tyee Salmon on that rod and it still looks...

ok... so I have something that happened to me today that i think would TOTALLY count as when Civic owners meet supra owners... which this is the closest title I could find. So I am on my last coffee break heading back to the college from the corner store. A guy pulls up beside my 2003...

Biggest thing to find out is what are you fishing for? what size of fish? what type of water? are you trolling, fly fishing, casting, bobber fishing? Personally I like expensive rods but I dont think you need one. If your just starting then I would pick something cheap with a good reel. As...

GOOD NEWS UPDATE So I saved the block by taking it to another machine shop. It only took 15 phone calls, this forum and a long conversation with the main head machinist (who gave me an hours free labor due to being proven wrong) He was able to bring the bore on the #1 cylinder to be round while...

Basically I am trying to make every HP count while buying the right items. I have been looking at my bare front end for a few days thinking about how to replace it with stronger lighter metal. I know forged is sometimes hard to beat for strength but I dont mind replacing parts every 50k if thats...

what if I left the front windshield and replaced everything else?

Well I Found some replacements for the glass. I am trying to see how much this would save overall but they even offer a package that includes all windows including the front windscreen. http://www.lexan-windows.com/ They claim that they cut the weight in half. This will satisfy me greatly lol
