anyone want to help me put an o2 housing on this week?

 

I'll be there racing

 

I will eHelp you....

Make sure you soak the bolts overnight and that the car is completely cool before attempting to remove them. Its not too difficult, you should be able to do it yourself. It only took me a couple hours or less yesterday doing it myself.

oh, and ratcheting 14mm wrench is your friend.

 

What are you needing done? Just installing coilovers or springs? Or do you need a custom setup done for the track? I'd recommend seeing John Mueller at RRC in Santa Fe Springs if you need any kind of suspension work done. TT is know for their engine tuning, not chassis tuning.

 

What a joke.

 

Hey Ryan, got any waste gate actuators laying around?

 

Laguna Seca Jan 31st, wednesday. Who's down?

i'll probably be there at the q on friday watching not racing. i need a new clutch to race.

 

i took my turbo/manifold off today for the o2 housing install, turns out 2 of the bolts were crossthreaded or damaged so im having a hell of a time with that. im hoping to get that done and make a lower IC pipe before friday.

 

why did you remove the turbo and manifold just to remove the o2 housing? Sounds like you are/have opened yourself for more problems that could've been avoided.

Good luck w/ all; exhaust bolts suck ballz. I just replaced my o2 housing because my downpipe bolts were fused to the o2 housing and both the heads snapped off when I tried to remove the downpipe. Attempting to extract the broken bolts resulted in a snapped off extractor bit inside one of the bolts. I ended up threading the inside of the hollowed out other bolt just to get the downpipe back on for the time being. Talk about ghetto rigged. I feel your pain; been there, done that

 

i was going to put a ported mani on also, but the one i had a line on fell through. i may order one from BR though.

 

I got a PM from Roger today and it looks like everything is cool with him and his car but he might be selling it since he's now in the Military.

Roger make sure to let me know the price on that bad boy and I'm sure I could find plenty of people who want it, anyway take care bro and keep in touch

 

Hey does anyone have a hookup or a recommendation for a body/paint shop? I am going to be installing a body kit and need to find a reasonable price. Or if any of you have experience installing body kits and want to help, let me know. This is for my ZX3, not Evo though.

 

Yes, sorry I havent been on or contacting anyone in awhile. I have been very busy getting prepared to leave. I am leaving for the air force soon and if anyone wants the car for 35grand its yours. You all have seen it so there should be no question as to its perfromance capabilities and its condition. YOu know I am **** when it comes to it being clean and its well being. However, I want this car to go to someone who will appreciate it and thats why I am letting it go for a great price. I have someone in line to buy it so let me know if anyone is interested.

I will keep in contact with a few of you I AM sure. However, I want to be able to buy a house soon and with a car like that I wont be able to at this point .

Anyways, happy new years to everyone and everyone please be safe! I am tired of hearing accidents and I would be super sad if any of you got hurt. You all have been awesome and I got the opportunity of meeting some great friends.

I will try and stop by every now and then and see how everyone is doing. Take care everyone

PS. David, seeing your sisters house really got me thinking about what the military can offer you. I already had plans of joining just didnt go through with them until now. If anyone has a chance to see his sisters house you should. His sister spent 3 yrs in the navy and her fiancee is in the marines and they have the sickest house ever!

 

Roger, you should give me the car for free, I'll take care of it, and then I'll give it back after I buy my evo. Sound like a plan???

hahaha
