[Slideways^Jordan]

Hey idaho very nice wrk keep up the good progress man its finally coming together now.

[idahotuner]

thansk man. cant wait for tomorrow......

[codyace]

Love the homemade tool. Couple guys on F/A have made similar things too!

For those not creative http://www.customsteel.com/sr20 makes one too!

I can honestly say to this day, I've never shimmed a head. I'm uber anal when removing the pieces, and have a tray I found that works great to keep everything in the right spot hehe.

I also feal your pan about dropping a washer in the engine...I did that on my Turbo Altima once....however I lucked out and was able to get a magnet in there and get it hehe.

[idahotuner]

i was going buy the tool from custom steel. but i ordered the water adapter from him in the end of feb. and still haven't received it.

so i figured safe like 160 bucks and build my own. look pretty simple.

[idahotuner]

so here are some pics of my wheels that came in today finally. haha after waiting for them to come into stock for the past month and half.the BOV i got for ordering my wheels from phase 2

so tonight you would think i would have worked on my 240 NOi ripped the front bumper off my accord. winters are hard on cars here and hitting snowbanks and plowing snow loosened it up. so when i was backing up today i caught it and it popped right off.so i have to pull the support off and put he bumper back on it using new plastic screws.and my dads mr2 got kicked out in the snow so both my cars could occupy the shop in pieces

i will get my wheels and tire mounted and balanced tomorrow. and will finish getting my accord ready for summer.

[idahotuner]

I forgot to mention i ordered brick headlights today.

[idahotuner]

and i ordere T bolt clamps today. those little things are spendy.

If i remember correctly phase 2 has them made. the only other place you can buy then is from Enjuku racing and they cost 10 dollars more a wheel... i tired wokring it out to have one of my friends that has wholesales account set one up with phase 2 so i could buy them wholesale but it didnt work out cause the process was taking for ever and i didnt want them to go outta stock before i could buy them.

but as far as price is concerned these are a steal for this lug patter in this size and offset.

ok here are some pics from last night guys.fixed the bumper on my accord. changed the oil. put the fender liner back inand put my summer wheels onand here is some of the elites just sitting on the carmy dad wants to do a pull or flares i think. we all ready did a roll. i want to leave it just sticking out for a hot rod look. but we will see what we can do with some camber and my suspension. and if i can leave it i will.

backfront lines up pretty close. and with some camber i will be able to squeeze it under. (pic is sideways) opps

with my wheels on my accord people al lready think i am ricer kinda or want to race just cause i have nice wheels seriously. It is an accord, i know your mustang is faster.

[duffman1278]

WOW, I'm still vote for some overfenders! lol come on...do it...plz...lol jp they look clean

[idahotuner]

funny duffman.........

so i was going to buy my q45 brakes. but i ended up buying an apexi AVC-r today.

so that means end of the month will be the Q45 brakes and LSD. the only reason for this change is so we can do all the wiring at once for the AVC-r and gauges and stero.

[white90esex]

I want your shop.

I think im gonna give phase 2 a call tomarow and see what the deal is with those wheels. If I cant get um through work ill be ordering a set pronto. Id rock 225s on all corners though. **** would be gangster.

lol tht reminds me of this kid tht lives by me. he has the same accord as u pretty much and is convinced he can take my dads miata everytime i drive it. he doesnt seem to understand tht its pretty much the same quickness or slowness as my 240 which he is afraid to race. his fav line " comeon due just race me down one road" to which i reply "na man this is my dads car i cant rice it".

[idahotuner]

haha. my accord is made for cumfort. haha.......i am getting tint and 2 12" kickers it will be awesome for a cruiser .
