So i have the squeak from hell coming from the inside of my integra. Its coming from the rear drivers side. It sounds like its coming from the inside but i dont think it is. It kind of sounds something like the noise you would make if you rubbed two coins together. Heres the kicker though, it only happens when its hot outside/in the car. During the night and when its cooler out you cant hear it. Also it started when i swapped my si's for the blades. Any ideas???

So I replaced the adjuster cable as it was loose
And getting new calipers and pads tomorrow, had to order them
They are double piston I had some trouble finding a store that had them and have only read of one forum even mentioning them
They're all single piston
And I'll probably paint them too
And Corbin- sounds like you need someone to crawl around while you drive

Bacon, I want your damn wheels (in a 17 inch size)!!!!!!!! The Cobalt has the same bolt pattern. I think a set of basket weave wheels would be sick on the Cobalt (after a drop).
Bacon
07-15-2010, 08:44 PM
Oddly enough, I never really liked mesh wheels until I saw these on the white EJ coupe they were on and it was over from there. I don't think anything will take these off my hands.

Yeah, man. Not sure if I am going to put them on the new project once it gets brought out of the garage or not. Took them to a garage and we removed all the wheel weights that were on there. put them on the machine and the balance on them was perfect so not really sure why all the weights were on there. One wheel alone had 27 or 29 1/4 ounce weights on there. lol
How ya been, man?

I dont know if anyone on here will care but Cobb County is paying for people to go through a training class through Chattahoochee Tech to get trained as an Aircraft Sheet Metal Mechanic. After you graduate their class, Lockheed will hire you per the requirements of the course and through an agreement with Cobb County. The only problem is you have to be a resident of Cobb County. So if you are in need of a job, or if you know anyone who is in Cobb that needs a job, Pass this info on.

So i have come to the conclusion that I have not had a left rear brake
Since I've owned the truck...
Because somebody pulled the truck with a chain on the axle and smashed the line
And I didn't do it
Workin on bending the new one as we speak
So hopefully I'll driving this afternoon

Mine is a 53 Chevy. Most of the GM's from 49/50 to 54 are close to the same for the most part. They are very dependable cars. There is a 49 sitting in a field in Fisher Rd. too.

Why not rattle can your bumper and grill? Its got a crappy grey hue to it. It wouldn't cost you much and it'd be a fun project with great results. Atleast until the whole truck gets painted.
And when you get some extra cash, tint the windows. After all that, add your wheels and it'll be golden.

bbuba, SEM trim paint would make your truck look fire. It would darken your grill and your bumpers to black instead of gray.

I don't just wanna spray paint the bumper
And my brother is supposed to tint my windows for a graduation present
Also I need a new bumper this one is f'ed
A new hood because I bent it
The grill needs bondoed
And a roll pan
After all of that I'll save for paint
And I still need tires for my 20's
And I want some sort of exhaust for it
I need a job
I've applied all over just no return calls or enails

He decided he'd like to have a "peanut eye" (aka "blob eye") 04-05 body style. Idk... I just think he doesn't like the color and doesn't wanna do a color swap. In any event, a decent 02 WRX ill be up for sale in a little while if anybody's interested.

I remember before I got mine we were talking and you mentioned liking that SRP. At the time I thought it was as ugly as sin, but its grown on me and I agree- its a fantastic color. Especially since there weren't that many made in that color. I personally think the gold wheels set it off nicely with the yellow fogs. But i'm partial I guess. hahaha

You should see the TM Edition Evo V that is in a museum up in Nashville. I took a picture and have it somewhere. My next Evo will be a V or VI...
If you don't plan on doing a whole lot to it (basic bolt-on's) then go with an IX. Since the IX has Mivec, it's easier to extract power of them.

it probably did. I pulled it and the system (stock) worked like it was supposed to.
I debated it for months and finally bought a quality Perrin MBC last week and put it in and adjusted it yesterday. As long as you can avoid PTFB the 02-03 WRX's are great with one if you don't get crazy with the numbers. (16-17 max)
I know guys that have been running them without a tune for 5+ years and almost 100k miles- without issues. I know of one guy in alaska using one with bolt-ons and no tune who's cracked into the 12's with bolt-ons (and its his daily).
Starting in 04 the OL/CL (open loop/ closed loop) delay is too long to safely run an MBC, but the 02-03 cars delay time is virtually non-existent.
As for software.... I wanna get a tune, but I wanna get a couple other things first that would adversly affect said tune, so I'm gonna wait for now. I know the biggest safest gains I'll ever get, will come from a tune. I seen one guy pick up 10whp and 53wtq from a tune running basically the same mods as me. Will i have the same gains? Maybe, but not likely. Different tuner, different car, not the exact same setup, etc... But the point is, i know i should get a tune and the benefits associated with it.. lol

Coob's stuff (at least mine) takes 45 seconds to change with upgrades. IE: add an exhaust, plug in the AP, scroll down, put in the new tune in. I ran the race gas tune for a few days last week. It took longer to full the car up than it did to change the sioftware program.
