Re: passenger brake doesn't work! Help please!

It's a toilet mat being used as a floor mat. I thought it was funny because it reminded me of my grandfather's car.

Anyway, I just took some pics of my freshly painted CRX (and some other parts and stuff and junk), so I think I'll use that as my avatar for a while. As soon as I can figure out how to get the pics off the camera and into the puter I'll post 'em. No matter how hard I shove, I just can't seem to get the camera to fit into the flopy drive!



Hmmm...
Pic doesn't want to post.
Here's a linky...

I've only put one new picture up so far.

Re: passenger brake doesn't work! Help please!

not sure if any of you guys are familiar with eldo at rpr.com but anyhow, he has been tinkering with his crx for quite a while now. first he ran some dual sidedraft carbs, then it was a downdraft 650 Holley, lately it has been a tweaked stock carb (he was the original guy to figure which vacuum lines to rework). all along he has had a nitrous system hooked up (well, after the sidedraft setup) and has run as much as a 100 shot (already blown one motor doing that, the current motor has taken two 100 shots with no effect in comp. and whatnot). why am i saying all this. well he's done hat most said would be impossible, he's running a t25 turbo blowing 13 psi through a stock carb, no box, just through the carb. the vacuum secondaries have been converted to mechanical. he took me out for a run on sunday and let me tell it's a really weird feeling to have the tires smoke when he floored it in 4th (not shifting into 4th, just in gear, running at about 55 mph) the amount of pull is just stupid. we ran it with a G-Tech on slightly wet roads (really bad traction) and ran a 15.32 at 100.5 mph.

Re: passenger brake doesn't work! Help please!

Got my first speeding ticket today.

The ticket says 70mph in a 60 zone. I was actually going much faster but I greeted the state trooper in an intelligent, friendly manner and actually ended up joking around with him, so he reduced it to 70mph on the ticket. Towards the end he even complimented me on my paint job and how well maintained the car is. He told me that he doesn't see many of these cars on the road anymore, and when he does they're usually pretty beat up.

To add insult to injury, I wasn't back on the freeway for more than 10 seconds whan a rock hit the windshield causing a big round ding.

Oh well, I still had fun on my mini road trip. Even after the $91 ticket it was still worth the drive to pick up another set of Tokico Illuminas for practically free!

Ebay is my friend!

"Almost" complete bushing kit (missing sway bar end links), front and rear bushings...

$17.00

Normally these kits go for about $85+ on Ebay, and my local speed shop wants $110 for the complete kit. It will cost me about $10 for a new set of end links, but since I saved $70+, I can live with that.
