What about something like this? We service a copper colored one that is lowered and looks pretty damn good. They offer them in a manual as well.

Have a question for iPhone users in here. Just bought my wife a 16G 4S using Verizon service and need to know if there is a way to do a free tether so she can use its internet on her laptop. The version is 5.0.1 if that makes any difference.

Not legally. Also even with jailbreak solutions (AT&T), people were being found out due to their unusually large data consumption. They were warned, if they didn't stop they were upgraded to tethering packages.

Yeah, I use it with my Android and so did she but since she got away from Android ( and she is soooo happy ) I wasn't sure if it was available for the iPhone. We got "grandfathered" into Verizon's data plan where we have unlimited data and they no longer offer it. :D

I started trying to restore the faded stitching on my DC5R wheel. I'm using the red liquid ink pen like most people suggest and it looks pretty decent, but it's not as "deep" as the stitching on my DC5R shift boot. Also I'm concerned with longevity. Autumn said tomorrow she will try to use fabric dye, but idk how much better that will work.http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm218/eskateboarding17/b6aea379.jpg
How's it looking so far?

02-07-2012, 09:46 PM
Is this on the new wheel?
PTCDC5
02-07-2012, 10:06 PM
Correct. The wheel itself was in good condition, so good call. No discolored leather like I had feared. The stitching was faded, which we already knew; common issue with any type R stuff that's 10 years old. The JDM airbag, mine was in better condition so this one is up for sale.

1. I'm very meticulous, if it starts to fade again it's going to bother me to no end.
2. There is the possibility the color doesn't hold and starts coming off on my hands.
3. It's not like it takes forever, but it's meticulous. Especially inconvenient if I have to pull the wheel off again or try to recolor the thread with it mounted.

What kind of ink pen are you using daniel? Metal tip? You might also be able to get a sharpie in red fine point?
As far as dye goes, you could always try rit dye, but id be worried about it possibly staining the leather trying to apply it to the stitching (assuming the thread is cotton)

You are correct, it's a Pilot Precision v5 fine tip. I tried the sharpie fine tip and it doesn't seem to work any better. The due staining the leather was a concern for me.

Just gotta adjust the valves, put now valve cover gaskets on it, and drop it in! Then comes all of the wiring and new fuel lines. Can't fuckin wait to see how it turns out. It had a few scored bearings, and cracked top ring on #5 Cylinder when I tore it down. This time I went back in with 3/4 groove main bearings, coated main and rod bearings, Moly Rings, High Volume oil pump, gasket matched lower to heads, and a little tighter gap on the rings, oh and this time i'm trying a 4 deg retard on the cam. Hopefully I will break the 400 Rwhp mark but I am not holding my breath on that one. If I make 380 Rwhp I will be extremely happy. If I do make the 400 mark I will let Steve give everyone an Old Fashioned!!!

I thought the conga line was pretty gay too, and Corbin troll boy was in the middle of it(not surprised). I also didnt understand the spray painted winshield either. Their cars should be pretty nice once they are finished though.

Havent found anything yet, still want to look at a few things, crunch some more numbers and see if i can fit some things in the budget. Protege5's are on my site line as are a few wrx's. Though im erring on the side of wanting gas mileage and to save on insurance. I wont rule anything out yet. As far as selling the civic, I got to keep my radio and steelies so i can make a few bucks more to get what i truly wanted, but in the end im happy with what i got.

Well I'm sure it has a lot to do with the fact that the Prelude and Integra are classified as a sports coupes and the wagon is classified as a grandma car. Also Hondas retain their value significantly more than the Scoobies.

Because they're cheap cars. Ask Steve and he'll agree- nothing in these bugeyes (02/03) or blobeyes (04/05) and to some extent even hawkeyes (06/07) says "high quality fit and finish." I find them to be reliable and dependable (Steve doesn't think so, so that can be debated) but there's no mistaking that your sitting in a 10yr old car.... Starting in 08 they got nicer. if your WRX shopping, 09+ (much better suspension and motor than 08) or STI shopping 08+ are the way to go...

I'm not sure. I still had the S2K when I bought the Evo so I had the multiple car discount but once the S2K was sold, the premium was a few dollars cheaper. The S2k was at the top of the list in terms of insurance cost due to theft, etc.

I asked Chris about it earlier today. I would buy it but has more miles than I would prefer. Orange is the only way to go IMO. Sonic blue would be next in line.

Subaru's build quality is top notch, I can't discredit Subaru in that department. The engines just don't seem to handle the power compared to the 4G63, 2JZ, LSx, etc. Obviously this can boil down to how well it's modified, the tune and the loose nut behind the wheel.

The difference is really just potential. Stock for stock they are the same.
1996, the first year of the GTS(coupe), through 2002 is gen 2. That body style is probably the most famous and you can pick up a 2003+ gen 3 for cheaper then some of the 2's. Even though the 3's are lighter and more powerful, they just dont look as good.

Other than that, the car is complete. Just didnt have the time/motivation to work on it.
What is wrong with your dad's headlights?
h23bb2
02-17-2012, 04:33 PM
i can relate. I really don't wanna put my car back together. I have very limited faith in it lasting long (2 machine shops, 5 times going to and from said machine shops, and still subpar cylinder head work might have something to do with this feeling), and really don't plan on driving it much if I can help it. Dad keeps breaking my balls and the Exploder has a massive headgasket leak that I've successfully limped along for 9 months now. Its really bad now and drinks coolant like an athlete drinks [insert favorite sports drink here] so before I can pull that motor to replace said head gasket, I need to clear the garage of all subaru crap, hence the final push to just finish it and deal with the end result. Who knows, maybe it will be bulletproof and survive the abuse I will subject it to- we'll have to see.
I also can't help but feel that its not gonna be quick at all. I ran 12.73@107 on pump in dad's car last weekend and with some minor setup adjustments I believe it could be a 12.60 car MAYBE 12.59. My car on the otherhand, has a poorly sized turbo for the motor, and gearing requiring an extra shift for quarter mile use, I'll be lucky to keep up with dad on pump. With him on E85, I might as well just forget it....
Nothing's really wrong with the headlights besides needing to be cleaned up. Its just that they're angled perfectly for use with fog lights (a little high and the fogs cover the lower sightline) and without they just seem lackluster. Depending on my fmic fitment dad may order another kit this august that will alow him to retain the foglights.
I'm curious to see your results after sergeant does his thing- he's good. I've cleaned up behind 3-4 tuners (not including Mikey) and he's by far the most compentent of them. I do some things differently than him, but that's not saying one is wrong/one is right, its just different. I would trust him to do my car. Doug was probably the worst I've followed behind honestly. I'd hate to see a car shariff tuned....

Which is why I said it will be awhile! I won't be making any decent amount of money until I graduate, and then I need to find a job.

Threw the Cobra on a few sites. Asking $21,000. If anyone is interested or know of someone that is interested call or text me at 404-313-1189 for specs and more info. The car is currently located in NY along with me.
I know this isnt a for sale section so I'll keep the info short and sweet.

i can relate. I really don't wanna put my car back together. I have very limited faith in it lasting long (2 machine shops, 5 times going to and from said machine shops, and still subpar cylinder head work might have something to do with this feeling), and really don't plan on driving it much if I can help it. Dad keeps breaking my balls and the Exploder has a massive headgasket leak that I've successfully limped along for 9 months now. Its really bad now and drinks coolant like an athlete drinks [insert favorite sports drink here] so before I can pull that motor to replace said head gasket, I need to clear the garage of all subaru crap, hence the final push to just finish it and deal with the end result. Who knows, maybe it will be bulletproof and survive the abuse I will subject it to- we'll have to see.
You already know this I'm sure but give Dover a shot the next time you need head work. We use them at work and have yet to see an issue from them (knock on wood).
I also can't help but feel that its not gonna be quick at all. I ran 12.73@107 on pump in dad's car last weekend and with some minor setup adjustments I believe it could be a 12.60 car MAYBE 12.59. My car on the otherhand, has a poorly sized turbo for the motor, and gearing requiring an extra shift for quarter mile use, I'll be lucky to keep up with dad on pump. With him on E85, I might as well just forget it....
Why all of a sudden the change of heart in the turbo your purchased? Are you thinking you need something smaller?
I'm curious to see your results after sergeant does his thing- he's good. I've cleaned up behind 3-4 tuners (not including Mikey) and he's by far the most compentent of them. I do some things differently than him, but that's not saying one is wrong/one is right, its just different. I would trust him to do my car. Doug was probably the worst I've followed behind honestly. I'd hate to see a car shariff tuned....
I've been very impressed with Sargeant's tune and his customer service (CS is a big thing these days). He will continue to receive my business.
Doug, well TS as a whole, has an arrogant attitude. Just based on how they represent themselves on the web and the fact that they're always slinging mud at Sharif, I refuse to give TS a dime of my money. Based on my conversation with Siegle, I would trust Sharif. Siegel taught him most of what he knows today and they have the same tuning mindset. Hell, he's made a few trips to Dubai this year alone to tune 1k+whp GT-R's. He's obviously doing something right.

Nobody can deny we are without a doubt the busiest shop in the Metro Atlanta Area, on average we tune 8-10 cars a week and the majority of them are 400+ whp. It has been this way for over 5 years. That being said how many cars have you heard of blowing up on our dyno? We tune double the cars most other shops do and don't have issues popping motors like other shops do. We aren't perfect but we are damn good at building and tuning cars. Sharif is in Dubai right now for a 2 week trip tuning 12 GT-R's that all will make 700+ and three should make 1000+. Sharif's tuning trips to Dubai, the multiple Modified Magazine covers, the track records we have SHATTERED with our time attack GT-R, and more did not happen because Sharif is a bad tuner. It all happened as a result of hard work, a lot of talent and a team effort of a bunch of great guys.
...and you are welcome to attended any CHIN Motorsports, Flat Out Motorsports, NASA or any other event at Road Atlanta and see plenty of cars Sharif has tuned. You are also welcome to bring the cars you have tuned out to participate in some HPDE events along with us. It is hard on the car though, long, hot days of hard driving so the tune better be on point :)

I've used Dover in the past and had to remove and replace 2 cylinder heads I received from them. Within 30 minutes of starting the vehicle the freeze plugs were leaking. Finally, when dad went to get the third head, they brought him in the back to actually observe them pressure testing his "next" cylinder head. Suprise suprise, the test failed and that one would've leaked too. They finally got him one thats been trouble free for 5/6 yrs now. (it was for a 1990 ford bronco)
The turbo was originally purchased with the intention of me doing the hybrid setup. Since I'm sticking with the 2 liter, I'm skeptical its gonna spool with any sort of haste. Ball bearing or not, its a 20g with 8cm^2 hotside and its scheduled to hit full boost at 4400+.... We'll have to see.

It was slow.... I say that now, but once the clutch is replaced.... *runs and hides* lol

I had a blast too. Sorry i had to dip out early tho. Looking at logs of the run against bacon it appears i have a boost leak or a blown sensor. Fuel trims were whack and i got as much as 5* kr on that pull. Time to see wtf is going on.
The new clutch is going to make things much much more fun:)

People don't pay attention while they're driving as it is and now you're eliminating being able to hear the surrounding noises. That seems like a bad idea.

I am constantly on the look out for people around me and generally drive a little slower than the people around me so that it gives them a chance to see me and pass me. Last night was the first time in a long time that the bike had been stretched out like that.

So ya..... was supposed to call the guy to set up a meeting to look at the car this morning between 9-10. His phone didnt turn on till 10:30 and didnt answer until 11.
Me: "Any chance to check out the car today?"
Him: " I have to call my brother to see if he can bring the car over. I will call you back"
WTF?! You knew i wanted to see your car today and you still havent called me back. I guess some people just really dont want to sell their car even though its listed.

Ugh...the (subaru) gc model (I guess that's how you'd say it) is growing on me like crazy. I almost want one now...I will never get one, but I still want one.
Then again, I have a lot of wants, but mostly for these cars over the last few months.
