sorry i cant satisfy you, jeff

It's a joke dude. Calm down. You stated in another thread you were getting annoyed with how popular the Type X stuff is getting. Figured you'd laugh, I guess not. Apologies if you took it the wrong way.

-the other day i saw a banana peel on the road and i swerved... thanks mario kart.

and i just got a hookup on paint tonight. professionally redoing the black...

led lighting is installed the whole way around the car now.

things are shaping up well :D

yea, I kinda ran into some monetary problems. for now.

let me know dude. im ready when you are.

2 cars w/ sick stance > 1 car with good stance.

two months of driving on a supposedly good alignment has yielded two bald front tires... yes bald, yes 245 width... which would explain the terribleness that is my wet weather traction/ skittishness.

OH, reason numero two that my tires a bald... is my tire gauge... was reading about 9psi TOO LOW... aka my tires were 9 PSI overinflated.... so my tires are bald in the centers, but have tread towards the outside still.

FML, RT615's aint cheap in wider sizes....

so yeah, two BALD-a** tires, a track car that needs toned down a good bit to be a FUN street car again.

FUN = LOW/drivable/cool looking/random doodads

That being said, new plan of attack.

1) Smaller profile tires. Probably all seasons (falken 512/912) for the colder months here... and stock up on grippy fun tires (rt615 and dunlop starspecs) for the warmer months.

2) LOW.

3) 18's in rear

4) finish my interior (street cars need sweet interiors)

5) REAL MOTHERf***ING ALIGNMENT.

6) Move the tie rods to the less aggressive setting on PSM knuckles and remove tie rod spacers from rack. That should correct some of the ackerman issues. Also, dial out some caster. Too much of that right now, causes a LOT of dynamic toe/ackerman changes. SUCKS. also, ive determined im TOO HIGH for the PSM built in bumpsteer correctors, so its doing more harm than good. thus, slamming is in order :D i love my logic

7) respray whole car in satin black

7.2) install emissions-deleted header (oem), thermostat, change oil, figure out why rear suspension creaks, put friction modifier in diff, put load resistors on brake light circuitry, mount front/rear crash bars/bumpers.... etc.

8) be a boss.

Why EGR/emissions crap? Does PA have laws about that?

our cars SHOULD have them

i had a spare exhaust manifold that i got the egr bung/ pair valve bung welded up. its for "off road use only" now. cool.

good thing i drive on streets and not roads.

but yeah. street cars > "track" built cars im learning. track car parts list is fine, but alignment/setup is key. not so aggressive is better in this case.

Carry on.

Where were going, we dont need roads.

Great news on your thoughts behind the steering and caster issues. You're thinking straight.

Uhhh still anxious to see the paint. IDK man, give me a warm booth and a rattle can and i'm sure I can paint it piece by piece (aka like a panel at a time) and make it look good in satin, just keep it wetttt.

Your humor is as always very different and hilarious. Lol @ the # 7.2 and be a boss. BAWSSS

my funds are tied up at the bank due to a fault with my direct deposit. so tires are delayed. plus side is, in my free time, ive been networking with some local drift guys... made some killer connections. looks like ill be doing a good many drift events come spring/summer/fall, campaigning with the "drift warfare" crew.

also, with the sale of my corolla, i should have the money to purchase a spare coupe to make into a super-budget drift car. welded diff, used coils, rucas, annnnnd thats about it.

hopefully all goes as planned.

4-lughero... i need your coupe. lets talk about it.

that is all. for now.

Teehee.

Get my number from Doug.

As much as I want to drift-tax somebody on Craigslist or a Honda forum, I want to see it in good hands. ie: wall ride like at Ebisu.

*omg. keep it on the track MGE*

shut up.

or if it ends up being cleaner/straighter than my current coupe... ill swap my s*** over and start fresh

Fixed.

Your lighting is AWESOME.

thanks

im so stoked at the thought of twin coupes

i got your number now, ill hit you up tomo dude

it is sick. i LOVE the thing.

its called a "wink 5 panel"

ebay. like $25 shipped.

p.s. I emailed you

a broadway is just a wide, single pane mirror.

a 5 panel... is... 5 panels of glass in one bigass housing

funny part is... i sold my rolla yesterday. so i kinda have the money now. ironic?

R/T Tuning hooked it UP. 5 hours straight on the rack. Pat is the mack daddy. Car drives SO damned well... all the MAX parts work wonderfully... firm, SMOOTH ride, excellent feedback.

Specs are drift oriented:

Front Camber: -2.5* (pat wants me to get s14 LCA's so he can dial in to -4*)

Front Caster: 8*

Front Toe: -.01*

Rear Camber: -2*

Rear Toe: .01*

Chassis ends up being straight as an arrow, like... off by .1* deflection over the length of the wheelbase. thats ONE TENTH of ONE DEGREE.

Front coils are maxed w/out removing collars which leaves my tires (215/45/17) one inch off the front fender rails.

Rear coils have plenty of room to go. Im running 215/45/17 back there for now (too narrow for rear, IMO) but the rational is that once i get my 18's in the rear, ill have a matching spare set of fronts for events/emergencies.

i only have terrible terrible cell pics... but ill post them in a few mins anyway.

EDIT:

Whether it looks like it or not, its tucking tire front and rear....

rears look "sunk" due to skinny a** tires, but the wheels are a good 1/2" past the fender. 18"s and 225-235 width will fix that.

i also think im going to a 215/225 40 17 in the front in the near future. more low. more clearance on the upper fender area.

BTW, the 215/45's dont rub on ANYTHING. full lock is AWESOME. i left the knuckles on the most aggressive setup, and kept the rack spacers in. car handles SO freakin good...

Vortekz brand.

They are vortex generators similar to the ones that are OEM on the EVO 8 (8MR?).

Ebay is the place to get em.

First coupe to have them.... yes, thats me.

DEEEEEYUM.

lol

Looks good, your coupe is the initial reason I wanted a coupe, the fins lookin freakin rad.

Alignment specs: Amazing. Those are the specs I was trying to get with my self alignment. Maybe with the change in seasons next year I'll get down to R/T tuning as well for a checkup.

Awesome to hear that the car handles like a dream on the AGGRESSIVE PBM knuckle setting!

Car's got some unique style with the vorteks and the wing. Dude, rear diffuserrrr
