NEMOC Random BS Thread

got some of the steel this week.. pretty much a huge heap of metal on the slab,much more to come too so i dunno where there gonna put all this stuff.. our contractor is hoping to have the main steel structure up before snow, as far as the outer sheet metal and roof that may have to wait till march unless we get mild weather... most of the tools are in my basement lol..


ur gonna need a few more things that u didnt mention but they can be found at autozone or similar.. grey rtv high torque oil resistant gasket seal.. its a grey tube.. only one in the bunch that i saw at autozone, 300 or higher grit sandpaper, 1400or higher wet sandpaper,make sure its high heat paint.. 18-20 gauge wire to run from the sender to the gauge..

as for the speed 3 project.. looks like we may need to do some molding with the plastic trim, but all in all not too horrible looking, more work getting the pipes to fit really.... my first project for the company within the mazda community is molded mud flaps for the speed 6 and 3.. and also a speed 6 bumper, keeping the same body lines just making it flow with the lip better and the grille piece will be molded to look like its part of the bumper...

im assuming were doing this at ur cousins house?? that garage is really good for painting in..

Buenos Dias all.

Here is a picture of the new winter tires.

Drove the Civic into work today. I haven't driven it in a LONG time. I'm starting to get ideas for the car again...
 
So I just picked up my new Droid phone. Wow this thing is awesome! It's going to be hard to work today because I am messing around with all the new features.

The new version of Google Maps is AMAZAZAZAZING!

I will never buy a Windows Mobile device ever. The Android OS on this phone is ridiculously fast doesn't hang up like my old phone.


Phen if you want a B18C5 for that Civic, I know of one... Hehe
 
Neat.

Chris... I need your help on deciding parts to get for my EK. I need to finish this car.
 
Ok! I'm not a Honda guru, but I know a few things since I own one. (I hate admitting that....)
 
It's all good man. I still have mine. But the ideas have been running thru my head. Do I...

a) gut it and build it to be an Auto-X car
b) continue to build it to be an auto-x car, but do up the interior really nice.
 
...and some of us just can't get rid of them! I've been driving my Civic since 2000.

Thought autoblog claims its the world's only known 4rotor, a quick youtube search finds that a Redbull Drifter has one... Fact checking!

Nice. What's worse is that it's printed along the bottom of the windshield too.

I wonder what they're doing for engine management. IIRC no one had a solution yet.

Maybe its a the first 4 rotor Renesis? Has individual throttle bodies too. Most 4 rotors I have found are the rx-7 13b.. so maybe they are claiming its either the Renesis or just first NA 4rotor in an rx8..? (uhm)
