islandhopper : 1990 Accord DX

[islandhopper]

Thanks dudes. Im going to try and get the time off to make it to the meet. No promises, but i will try. We're running short on production workers right now, so if they loose me it adds like an hour to their day. And we already work 12hr days on average.

Anyways, good news for the CB...installed the new fuel pump!

Did it with a little over half a tank of fuel. I don't recommend it, but i had no option at the time. Feels good to drive her again...it's been a couple weeks. Now she needs a bath and some TLC. Gonna clean her up and do some maintenance this weekend, maybe even adjust the suspension...

I love this picture, if I settled on those rims our cars would look so similar. (the color anyway :])

Nothing major to report on. It's back to daily status while i tinker on the bimmer. Not gonna stop tinkering on my CB though.. Still acquiring turbo goodies before i go balls deep and build the block.

Thanks man. You're right, very similar indeed!

CB is still running strong. Just did over 900miles traveling to Bend, OR and back for thxgiving. Handled the cold weather like a champ. Hwy26 got snowed in the day i wanted to head back home, so i had to wait for the snow-plows to go thru the pass before i could go for it. There were a couple places where the car got loose for a bit, but nothing too bad. I had studded tires with me just in case, but ended up not using them...decided to just go for it. These Kumho Ecsta AST's did alright considering they rated poorly on snow/ice in many reviews. Was still pretty exciting in a few places. Good thing i love driving in the snow.









My car is FILTHY. Haven't washed her since i can't remember. Plus now she's got 900 miles worth of winter weather road scum from bumper to bumper...time for a bath.

Shit man, my bad. I've gone through a couple phones since i last hit you up and have since lost your number. PM me your digits and i'll make sure to give you a heads up next time i roll down to portland. Shouldn't be too long before i do.

Hopefully when the sun comes back we can go to more meets...been a while since ive seen the NW CB crew!

And thanks again for the CB9 storage compartments. Definitely going to put them to use. Tired of having shit roll around in the trunk!

[c91bse7]

[Quashish]

[islandhopper]
