crazymikey : 1990 Accord LX

Nice trunk setup man, I like the 9293 sedan on the coupe. Looks tits!

And it's funny you say you can't find full sets of 9293 hub caps, I have a set in my garage that I don't use, I don't have steelies anymore

[Wickit]

Very clean as always mikey, love the ass on her too! Can't wait til she's outta winter mode

[crazymikey]

The car has been riding sooo bad, plowing snow, have an exhaust leak now, and the UCAs smashing into the fenders is pissing me off beyond belief. Lost my exhaust tip yesterday from it dragging on the snow in the centre of the road.

I think I'm making a trip to Pick A Part this weekend and throwing stock suspension in it for the winter. This is absolutely fucking ridiculous.

Went to fill my washer fluid and spray my window...nothing. The line where it bends and comes out of the body and attaches to the hood had a big hole in it, and it just sprayed all over the engine bay. Had to do a little duct tape repair on that one today at lunch.

If I don't get this suspension stuff sorted, this car is literally going to shake itself apart. I cannot even describe how bad the roads are right now.

Picture the Rocky Mountains, glaciers and holes big enough to swallow cars....except as the road.

I know how you feel, that's why I bought the winter car. There was no way I was gonna scoop snow all winter.

Good luck at the picnpull man!

Raise the car up simple as that. They will go up to about a inch lower than stock ride height.

[crazymikey]

ehhh, but then it's just more wear and tear and corrosion on the F&F's over the winter if I leave them on. For the little over an hour it'll take for me to swap back to stock, it's worth it.

I can't afford a winter vehicle right now, as my car flipping plans went to shit after I just got a thing in the mail from the gov't telling me they reassessed my tax return and I owe them $1250.

[SOHC-FTW]

Meh, i wouldn't waste my time on switching but your car man. Good luck eitherway.

[crazymikey]

I can do a full suspension swap in an hour.

I am SO pissed off with the roads and how shitty the car rides right now, that if I didn't have tonight scheduled for going to the pub with one of my buddy's, I'd have busted out the grinder and cut my towers. That's how fed up I am. The weather is shit, the roads are shit, I can't drive properly, it's wrecking my car. It's ridiculous.

Hey mikey, it looks like the same as last winter... we dont have snow here yet, and doesnt looks like its coming soon either.

[crazymikey]

Here's our past January...



New year's night


Yeah. Rest of the winter looked pretty much the same.

[crazymikey]

Went to the wreckers this morning to go pull stock suspension off a car. Yup. Broke both lower rear strut bolts. Can't get those off now. Once I busted those I said screw it.

Just going to suck it up and crank up the F&F's as high as they'll go.

[ferenza]

Put antiseoze on the threads so they wont rust up on you..i did this to my vw and put plastic film over it and everything was fine

[crazymikey]

I bought some more PB Blaster today. I have already slightly adjusted my front ride height, but one of them seized up on me. The other one was fine, and I haven't touched the rears yet, but I can tell they need a good squirtin.

[crazymikey]

Well. Been trying to sell some items in the classifieds lately.

I had the 9293 1pc headlights that were black/yellow housed. I just traded those for a set of original virgin 9091 1pc headlights. Yes sir, those bad boys will be going on my car.

Now that I will be getting those in about 2 weeks, I'm left with the 9091 fogs I got at the JY a couple weeks ago....I think I may just install those too, since nobody is even giving me offers at $100 I'm asking for them.

My exhaust leak is super bad right now, it looks as if it's just behind the cat. However, my roommate and I just split purchased a new Mastercraft MIG/flux core welder that was on sale at Canadian Tire for $299, so perhaps I'll be able to do my own repair work on my exhaust.

[crazymikey]

Got the front coilovers cranked all the way up. That's good.

The rears...Yeah. They are super seized. PB Blasted the shit out of them. Hammered them, done everything possible I can with what I have, and they will not loosen up. When I try to turn it, the entire body of the shock turns with it. I've been fighting for over an hour with just the driver side rear.

I'm going to try and get some stock rear suspension and throw those in.


Got under the car to investigate the exhaust leak. Looks like someone took a hatchet to my exhaust pipe in several places. The entire mid section needs patching or replacing.
