What did you do to your NB today 2013?

[Pfunk]

Interesting. Do you like the car a little loose?

The NB is a more comfortable car for longer trips, for certain. My NA had become a *little* too specialized. If I can get NB a bit more track-ready, safety-wise, I would be happy. It already has Konis and a RB front sway. For budget and comfort, I may just add springs or Ground Controls and be done with it. I may do bushings, but it isn't a priority. A roll bar, doorbars and fixing the oil leaks are more of a concern to me at the moment. Oh, and this box o' stereo shite to install.

I do; since I'm not on the track, keeping it a bit loose lets me have fun up in the hills at lower speeds. That said, the R (RHD Car) weight percentage is 50.1%, the rear weight percentage is 49.8%, and the cross-weight percentage is 50.8%, all pretty balanced, I think. What values did you have on your NA? BTW, If you need PU bushings I've a full set minus the diff bushings I can send you, still in the bag--got them and then decided to get the V8 arms which have different sizes.

Paul, I may take you up on that. Which ones are they? Energy?

On the NA, I balanced it 50/50 with a 1/2 tank and me in the car. I had the luxury of using David's scales. Your balance on a full tank prompted the question. It makes sense now.

After finally getting into Tina's 10ae a bit on this stereo install, I want to fly back to CA just to throttle the previous owner. I found a bit of patchwork stuff in the electronics that I had to correct and took a little time with the FSM to make sure it wasn't mixed up. Nothing too bad, just not very well done. Tina loves the new stereo!

Brakes are next week, if the stuff ships in from CA on time. I WAS going to get the bung welded in the midpipe to install the '01 exhaust mani, but I think the brakes are becoming a priority. I need to start driving this car more. I think Tina seems to have a higher tolerance to let certain things go until they REALLY need attention.

This was after the first time I balanced the NA:



I spent another hour dialing in the last 1% an evening out the corners. it was 50.10% when I was done.

Steven, when is the rollbar coming?

[— kung fu jesus —]

Ugh, I dunno.

I chucked the same code last night, so I swapped in the good coilpack I had and did the VC gasket this morning. Car runs even smoother now. Annnd the RSX chucked a code too, cat ineffieciency. So, brakes are on order, need to see if any of code reappear on the cars. May have to order and O2 and cat for the Acura.

Oh, and I swapped in the black Nardi wheel in from the horrible 10ae wheel.

[—tsingson—]

Nice. Will the 10AE make an appearance for the next meet?

[— kung fu jesus —]

Perhaps.

Energy Suspension?

Yeah, it's the master kit minus the diff mounts--I was able to use them, at least. Shoot me your addy and I'll be happy to send them to you. Way better than seeing them unused in the bags!

[— kung fu jesus —]

PM sent, Paul.

Tina is really excited about the upgrades on and planned for the 10ae. I gotta knockout the timing belt maintenance and seals. With what I have seen of this car so far, I'll feel better when the "reset" is done.
