Thank you for the wonderful info on the LED cluster bulbs on page 1. The blues look sweet and match my deck. I just ordered from superbrightleds.com

Out of all the things I've done, the LED mod was the one I've got the most feedback for. You guys have no idea how many PM's I've received about that.

I'm glad it worked out for ya


And on a note that has nothing to do with m Integra: I sucessfully softmodded my Xbox I can now run all my emulators on it instead of my PSP

[idrivesideways]

Run mine on my PC, live old school from time to time. metroid seemed so much harder when i was a kid. Beat it in a couple hrs the other day. I'm suprised you don't have a FF7 avatar with the name of your car and all.

Whats crazy, is back in the day when FF7 came out.. I spent over 70 hours on it, taking my time, leveling up and whatnot.. Got to Sephiroth and stopped playing and started over playing another 60 hours and did the same thing again.

Did it once more recently as well. Dunno why either. Maybe I'll sit down and beat it one day

As far as Metroid, I loathed the first one on NES but the 2nd and 3rd one I loved.. Especially Super Metroid. When I was in 8th grade, my buddies and I had a competition to see who could beat it the fastest.
I got it down to 1:37 with 100% completion, 1:14 without 100%. I thought that was good till I saw a video of a chic beating it in like 57 mins with 100% collection rate
-----------------------------

I've been lookin around at spark plug wires and decided I'd go with NGK's since I know they are good and whatnot. On t3h eBay, they are about $50.00. BUT, I can go with MSD wires for about $60.00: You just have to cut and put the boot that goes to the dizzy on yourself.

SO, unless my distributor is bad, I should have ignition problems covered.

This weekend, I'm going to install my new throttle body. But before I do that, I'm gonna pull my intake manifold and make sure the Hondata gasket hasn't deformed and is blocking the runners any. Hopefully it HAS and that's hurting me

We'll see.

Dyno time will be coming again soon....

I've always ordered my NGK wires from NOPI for around $50.

Where did you see MSD wires for $60? They were like $80 on NOPI.

I like the NGK wires because OEM plugs are NGK, and the NGK wires are pretty much OEM fit and quality. Plus I can add a little color to my engine bay w/o being ricer It's pretty much the only thing in my whole engine bay that isn't stock colored.

[mac_24_seven]

Nice lil ricer jab At least I'm co-ordinating. I don't think I've gone overboard or anything
-----------------------------
They are cut to fit, or unfinished if you will. You have to add the boots yourself. Thus why they are cheaper.

Here's the link

I've sent the seller a message asking if these are for my GSR.. it doesn't say so they probably aren't. He does sell them, though, for the GSR so maybe if these aren't, he can set me up an auction with em.

And I've spent over 2 hours updating my first page with the shortcuts to pics and the DIY's. I attribute it to those lil 5 hour energy drink shots

[bigluelok]

thanks for the help mac. ill be changing it with oem as soon as possible and do those energy drinks work?

[mac_24_seven]

Been meaning to do this for a while now, just never got around to it. A little timeline of my car and it's wheels. Which do you like best?











Honestly.........

I think the blades look the sexiest

[Twilightepitaph]

blades.

[tweek_boii]

lubbing the red

[Blahblah718293]

blades
lipstick
super metroid
FFVII i did the same thing with ffx.

(edit)

also, those wires look too short to reach from the cap to the plugs. if those are the actual wires that you get.

and also: the resistance of spark plug wires is there to restrict the current to the plug. as long as you get A spark, and it is properly gapped, you will get as good a combustion as your gonna get. spark doesnt make any additional power.

if anything, having a low-resistance wire will cause too much amperage through the system, and fire back through the coil and possibly dammage the computer.

dont quote me though, im just a noob

[chocolatesk8er10]

red gt3 then blades

[idrivesideways]

red gets my vote

[mac_24_seven]

WELL, long story short:

I"m picing up a MSD Ignition box: 6A I will have ZERO ignition problems with a hint of better gas mileage!


Also, wife just called: She was on the interestate and hit "a muffler or something" and knocked a hole in the gas tank of her Accord so now I have to fugre out what the hell to do and drive 2 hours and get her.


Fun stuff!!!

[bigluelok]

Damn that sucks at least she's ok. Last nite my tranny locked up on me about 5 minutes after I got off the freeway.

Yep, I"m thrilled all thats messed up is the gas tank and exhaust. She's alive so it's alll good


And thats terrible abotu yoru car man! What happened??


BTW, I paid for my MSD. So I'll have a full MSD setup (save for dizzy)

[idrivesideways]

Used the same box in my Corvette, did MSD ever tell you that they offer a 6t conversion for $35 so you can use the plug in rev limiter? Not sure if you would ever need it but i just thought i would mention it. Also decided to sport the FF-VIII avatar for a day or tow in honor of my geeky ass weekend gaming. Seems fitting on this post.

[mac_24_seven]

Hey, I've been rockin the mess out of some gaming this weekend.. No shame at all man!

Since I have so many emulators/games now I'm having a big problem: Which game do I want to play???? I've got thousands at my fingertips

And as far as the MSD 6t add on, where'd you see it for $35.00??? They are $80.00+ anywhere I've looked.

[idrivesideways]

Sending your 6a to MSD to be modified into a 6T is $35, yes those little rev box plug ins are still expensive. $80 sounds about right, i haven't priced one since i needed one back in '03. Wonder what summit wants for one now?

[mac_24_seven]

OM*G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife calls me: The clutch in my Integra is al the way to the floor and will not come back up, so she's stuck. :S

SO, I get to drive to Daytona beach (about 4 hours away) to work on my car for 10 mins just to drive back.

To top it al off, I DID NOT want them to go and I'm sick

Yay!

[idrivesideways]

Man, with all the running around you have to do, how in the world are you supose to start a new project?

[LDS]

Shitty!! Daytona is only 45 min north for me

[mac_24_seven]

Oh this is good guys.. Are you ready?

Here goes.

SO, my wife calls me about noon yesterday, said that the clutch in the Integra was all the way to the floor and she couldn't shift gears. I tell her to check the fluid, tell her where it's at.. also tell ehr to pull the clutch up and push it back down a few times: Doesn't work.

So her and her 2 friends are stuck.

Mind you now, this is AFTER she hits something in the road on Friday, knocking a hole in the gas tank of our Accord and I have to drive 2 hours to fix the car and give her mine.

Anyway, so my buddies come over and we decide to go to discount and buy the slave cylinder. We didn't want to risk that NOT being the problem, so we decided it would be wise to have a truck/trailer with us in case we couldn't fix my car.

SO, we drive a lil over an hour to get my in-laws Tahoe and trailer. Put $68.00 worth of gas in it to fill it up and proceeded to head on towards Daytona.

We get there about 8:30 with about 1/8 tank of gas left

We pick up the women (they had already had a ride back to the hotel and had just got back from dinner) get all there crap and go get my car.

Now, obviously my car is somewhat noticeable and since Integra's are the most stolen car, I was extremely worried that it wasn't gonna be there, or that I wouldn't have an engine/tranny when I got to it.
It was parked in a college parking lot BTW.

Thankfully, it was still there.

SO, I get in it, and pump the clutch maybe 2 times (pulling the clutch up with my foot) and sure enough, it won't come up, it stays on the floor. So we pop the hood and decide to just drive my car on the trailer and fix it at home in the daylight.

So I get back in crank it up. I pump the clutch abotu 4 times: It pops back up to the top and I proceed to drive around the parking lot while my wife sobs from being so pissed that I did what she did and the car works fine.

Even though the car runs, we decide to put it on the trailer anyway, which was an ordeal since my cars lowered and we were trying not to rip the front bumper off. We get it loaded up but the bumper stuck off the trailer about a foot so we couldn't close the gate and we had no place to PUT the gate, so I backed it off and drive it home.

Had to fill the Tahoe up again BTW. 12 MPG

I pull in my drive way @ 12:36 last night, laid down at 1:25 and got up and 5:52

I'm freaking exhausted and severely broke. Not only did I get NOTHING done on my car this weekend, I'm sick.. I have to fix the exhaust on the Accord cause it's crushed and replace my slave cylinder this weekend.

I give this weekend a big ole hearty

[tyco]

try bleeding the slave cylinder to the clutch, my girl use to drive my car and it would be fine just that the clutch feels a little soft, I would always carry an open wrench in the car just to do so, other than that clutch is never burnt or warned out, thank god for ACT!

[mac_24_seven]

An un-expected suprise!!

I needed something good to happen today. I feel blehhhhh

What is it?

Giggity...

Maybe I can tinker with this this weekend
