2 more pictures....

So what do you guys think about my rebuild question? Should i just buy the kit from AMS?

Post by **idahotuner** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 6:59 am

so we are turboing the KA? is that the plan.

i dont know much about either of those things. but if you are interested in my lowering springs i will give y oua special deal since your my budy.

Post by **pflicht** » Sun Apr 06, 2008 7:11 am

Yeah. Gonna build the motor and then later on turbo it. Depends on the deal i'll hit you up on aim!

I find the AMS kit to be well worth it. As far as eBay goes, I buy nothing for engine internals from eBay. Good build thus far.

well since you're online... call me.... looks good! saved pic to phone!

Fail. You wouldn't buy Manley Turbo tuff rods from ebay just because they are on ebay? Everytime someone says that I mark them with an autofail. Unless they are no name internals buying things from ebay is perfectly fine.

hey man. sold the springs today. and what is up with your name now?it is weird haha

Depends...

Exactly

I don't know how people do it, but they can sell the same product for $25-75 (sometimes more) cheaper than anywhere else on ebay. So I mean if I can go through and piece together the rebuild for $1200 and it be just as good if not better than AMS's $1700 kit, then I'm all for it. I just don't want to forget anything, the AMS kit is guaranteed to have everything I could possibly need for my rebuild. But for ~$500 less, I think I should just piece the parts together, weather I get it from ebay or any other place for a good deal!

It's cool man! You gots ta make da monies! I can still pick up the tenzo r's if i want for a couple bucks more so I'm not too worried about it!

Cool build man. I always love reading build threads.

Post by **pflicht** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 12:25 pm

^ Thanks man, It's not so much of a "build" right now as it is an "in-depth tune-up" as Idahotuner put it. Give me about 2-3 months and stuff will really start to pick up!

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 1:53 pm

Yeah it is. Its fun, no matter what. If something is broke you fix it, if something is working replace it with something better. Its just fun working on cars

Thanks man! I used a spray paint called : "Ocean Blue Metallic" its a $10 can. You can get it at an Auto Parts store.

OK, took off the front door panel and found some Infinity speakers installed. I know they are not the best, but its damn better than stockers!

Only in the fronts though... 4x6 Pioneers in the rear...

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 1:30 pm

very nice speakers. i need to figure out my set up that i am going to do. i think i am going to do the 3x6 in the doors and 6x9s behind the seats.. in some custom speaker mounts. that should be more then enough to satisfy my need for a stero in my 240. now my accord is a different story.

I think I'm going to follow the template from the NICO audio section and install some 6 1/2's in the front (idk what brand yet, but they need to handle bass pretty descently) and move the Infinity's to the rear.

Time for an UPDATE!!!

First off, got paid yesterday (Thursday) and immediately bought a CD player. I bought the Pioneer DEH-P3000IBSo far I really enjoy this player. I have come to realize that the 4x6 speakers just wont do for what I need, unless I buy a sub and amp, etc. But I can't biitch too much, at least I can listen to music while I drive now!

Secondly, I bought a 2.5" exhaust flange and a catback exhaust. I will stop by the auto parts store tomorrow after I get off work to pick up a 3" ID to 3" OD adapter. I will cut into one side of the adapter/reducer so that I can bent it to accomidate my 2.5" universal catalytic converter I posted about previously. I have to "make" my own 2.5" reducer because I'm not going to pay +$10 for one 4" long piece of metal, sorry just not going to happen.

As far as the catback goes, well I went the ebay route. I bought the setup from EBstores. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVWWow that's quite long... so here is just a picture of what it SHOULD look like:

White90esex also bought this and has actual pictures on his thread: zerothread/330580

So now I just wait for everything to arrive, which will hopefully be before next saturday.

Third update is I removed the cloth from the doors. The cloth was old, nasty, and ugly. So I removed it and I think it looks loads better.

Fourth and final thing on the list is my headliner is getting a makeover. By tonight (Friday), it will be black and beautiful!

I will post pictures of the Deck, side panels, and headliner later on this evening after everything is done and the car is cleaned out. So until this evening, have fun reading and PEACE!

Edit: BTW, the ebay listing for the catback was asking around $98 OBO, I submitted $70 and it took right away... So if someone is looking to get this exhaust, find the OBO listing and offer even lower! Just a heads up

Post by **pflicht** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 3:02 pm

IDK idaho, we will have to see how the bills play out in all of this... Otherwise I think I can!

On the other matter, some pictures of the aformentioned cloth removal from the doors and the new cd player.

OK, now DISCUSS!

Post by **pflicht** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 5:04 pm

Since i don't feel like editing my last post, and I feel like whoring im just going to double post.

Anyways, I had and issue with my cat and my soon to be catback connecting. My cat is only 2.5" and the catback is 3" so I needed a 3" reducer. Couldn't find one at the local part stores, so I turned to the interwebz... The cheapest one I found was $18... F that! Any other reducer at AutoZone or O'Reily's is only $2.99 so I decided to buy a 3" to 3" reducer. Im going to make a few slits in one end and bend it to match the 2.5" cat. Problem solved

Post by **pflicht** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 6:23 pm

Triple Post FTMFW!

Anyways, forgot I had a pic of my painted headliner... Picture sucks but its a cell pic so yeah...

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 6:23 pm

Nice update. the door panels look nice. that is waht i am going to mine i guess now.

Post by **idahotuner** » Mon Apr 21, 2008 6:34 pm

nice. i ma going paint my roof liner too.

Post by **pflicht** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 3:02 pm

For the roof liner, hell any interior pieces, I just use "Dupli-Color Vinyl Spray: Flat Black" Thats the only thing that touches my interior from now on. I've tried Krylon Fusion with little success. Sh*t just chips and cracks. Havn't run into any problems with the Dupli-Color stuff.

My catback is on its way. EBStores sent me the tracking number yesterday and it is expected to be at my doorstep FRIDAY! YES! I can't wait. Well if anything else happens before Friday, I shall let you guys know!
