dude...your shifter sits almost even with your shoulder

what kind of tools are you going to use to cut it??
what kind of metric tap & die set are you going to use??

:hgrin: LOL thats some funny stuff!!!
My Accord used to be like rowing a boat!(at shoulder level :p )

Peace

I had this thought last night. since the problem is where the numbers wind up what if onthe knob or maybe even on the shifter you grind down the thread about a quarter so the starting point is moved wouldnt the ending point be moved also?

True but grind a lil too far and... DOH! :_doh: hafta grind down another full rotation!
Plus you'll get all those little metal bits everwhere and... eventually the bottom of the knob will "bottom out" to a point where there is no more thread and it stops turning for that reason.

Peace

alex, you need my struts still? I was hoping the shop could put my shyt on today, but they said wait til monday so there's more time for me to get an alignment. I think they were going home early today. But let me know, so I dont pick them up for nothin. Just need a yes, and what do you need, 2 front shocks only, or do you want all 4, or all 4 plus springs? Hit me up on PM or respond to this thread

If Alex doesn't take em I will. Shit bring your car over and I'll put the springs on.

don't be jealous because I have an 04 si shift knob&seats to go with it~ :eek:

I think you got confused. I'm cutting it about an 1" 1/2 and then re welding it, so no tap or die set needed. I don't think it will break off either if I weld it back on, not like I'm trying to break my wrist and slam gears.

i thought you were talking about the shift-knob issue...sorry

are you trying to make a short-shifter??

I've seen that done on a coupla cars... then the OE stuf stays in place and I like that idea. Plus if you wanted to get really creative you angle the shift knob when you reweld it, if you so desire(so girls like a lil angle to the knob... ;) )

Peace

its cool, I thought you were talking about cutting the shifter to make it lower like I was talking about, lol.

I'm trying to make it a little lower into the boot, rather than "up to my shoulders" as Joey put it.


Tommy Tran: I'll give it a lil angle for the ladies!

Sorry rufus, he still wanted em, if you want my stock springs you can have em. Im having a shop put them on that owes us money, and their paying for the strut mounts/labor, otherwise, Id buy a bunch of beer and say lets do it, for whoever was down. thanks for the offer, though.

No prob.

I may need help when I get my ground controls, I am thinking of saving the money and doing it myself this time. lots of beer of course.

picked up two sliders, two brackets fora 6th gen, two 4 point sparco torino harnesses, and 4 of the sparco shoulder pads with logo :)


not bad for $20

Id help, but never done it and wouldnt want to. I'd throw down on beer, to come and help out, so I can learn. I need to get out of this damned house as much as possible anyways. Keep fighting with my biyatch.

Word. If you all need help just hit me up.

My car is in the shop right now. I HOPE they are done today. They said they would try their damndest to get it done today. I dont want to leave my car overnight (especially 15 miles away). How many miles would I be able to drive w/o an alignment. If I get my car back late, and discount tire is closed, would I be able to make it 15 miles, or is that a big hell no? Id rather my car sit, than me mess it up.

discount doesnt do alignments. are youtalking about network, I think they close at 5.

lol, you won't mess your car up if you don't get it aligned RIGHT AWAY. My car has been dropped and switched with different springs and coilovers so many times you wouldn't believe!! I still have yet got my alignment. Now I'm not saying you shouldn't have it done because you should but it's not a big deal to me.

Anyone work at Honda? I need some gaskets. Intake and Head gasket for a D17A2? 03 5 speed vtec.

I don't work there but I can get you a 25% discount if you want it. Let me know.


Actually, now that I think of it my buddy in my club works at Bell Honda. I will give him a call and let you know asap.

same here...atleast 25% off for me...get the part numbers and ill see what i can do for you

I gotcha... I worked at Bell for 2.5 yrs and my GF still works there...
I'm calling on the prices right now...

ok $11 for the IMG and $28 for the HG. My guy in parts says there isnt that much mark up in the parts or he'd discount em more.

Peace

same here (maybe more than 25%)...get the part numbers and ill see what i can do for you

Hey what does your friend do there? Has he been there long?

Peace

Damn everyone comin together like so eh?! Crazy! :rockon:

Peace

lol. i think I talked to him right before you. I'm going to order them through a buddy at Tempe I guess. I need head bolt too dammit. I WANT THIS HEAD ON NOW!!!

Hehe is Tempe closer to you? Bell didnt have it in stock and it takes a day or two for them to get stuff thats not in stock. How much are you payin?

Peace
