Everyone.........meet Snowflake

Post by g3integragsr »

Well, I figured its about time I make a thread on here about my car. So here it goes, I bought my car in June of 2006. He had some serious cancer issues going on and it needed a new a/c compressor. I picked it up locally for $4,600

Pics of the day he came home:

I pulled the center caps off and painted the wheels white:

Then it was just misc. crap from then out. Amber corners, 98+ tails, couple different exhausts, painted side skirts and front lip white, tinted window to 20%, painted valve cover, intake header, high-flow cat

Came across a good deal on some Tokico Illumnia Adjustables and Eibach Pro-kit springs for $200

My current set-up

Megan Racing 4-1 2.5" header
Magnaflow Hi-flow 2.5" cat
aftermarket Mid pipes with stock resonator welded in
Flowmaster axleback (switch it out with the Apexi Ws2 now and then)
SRI
Faux Carbon plug cover
Chipped Ecu, tuned on Chrome
Koyo O.E replacement radiator
Pilot 4300k Hid's
Oem Fogs with Luminics 3000k yellow bulbs
98+ Integra Tails
20% Tint all around
Interior is stock
Alpine Headunit with a 12" Eclipse Titanium sub. - 125 watt Rms amp. (tired of the crap beating my brains out, so I went smaller)
Painted side skirts and front lip to match the car
Tokico Illumnia 5 way adjustables with an Eibach pro-kit
Hawk Hps brake pads
Custom Painted Wrinkle red Valve cover
Amber turn signals
Amber side markers
Honda Cancer.........thats all I can think of for meow

Heres a pic of when I did my valve cover. It looks all new and pretty

On to the current pics. I just ran outside and snapped these. My car is dirty and im to lazy to clean it.

My super dirty engine bay:

The car gets its name from my Ex. Girlfriend Brittany. The stock wheels are nicknamed snowflakes and I painted them white........wonder how she came up with the name....lol

My piston rings are completely fried so I go through 3 quarts of oil a week. The motor Im taking out of Muris's old car is a B18C gsr motor from H-motorsonline. Its supposed to have roughly 30-35k miles on it. (found out its got way more than that on it)

Let me know what you think.

aight...........so smokey had seen better days..............I bought Obsessionwitsped's wrecked teg and parted it out, I then took the motor for my car....w00t...

So a couple days ago I pulled my car in and started the teardown.....

Image

Image


got everything disconnected..................then it was time to pull that bish.......

Image

Image

Image

.........................and then......................................................................






and then......................................................................



.........................................................and then............................................


OMG!!!!! My motor disappeared!


Image

......with the motor out it was time to tear it apart..............I already had the block sold and it wasnt even out of the car yet.....................



Eh2_erik molesting the block...........

Image


once it was all apart and out of the way, it was time to start working on the new motor................................forgot to loosen the crank pulley bolt while it was in the car..................took a while to get it off myself but then I was in for the real suprise......................this is the flywheel that was on the block.....notice the grooves.........

Image

Image

.......like I said.......the real suprise..........getting the flywheel bolts out. They are supposed to be torqued to 76 ft. lbs.....................I set my tourqe wrench at 75 to see if they were right before I took them out...........click.........set it at 100......click.......then was like wtf..........so I set it at 130......click...........then 180......click........then at 195 they started to turn............who and how the hell did they torque those bolts to ~200 ft. lbs without them breaking or stripping?

anywho.....I didnt reuse those bolts..........



Then it was time to put the timing belt, clutch, tranny...and everything else back together............and put it in the car..........

Image

Image

Image

......................seal of approval.....

Image


now its time to go hook everything back up and see how she runs
