What are you working on /o/? and if you posted in this thread last time, post updates.
Slowbalt needs paint and minor repair, new battery soon, speakers.
Fairmont still needs a motor but got washed
(Because I dont like people knowing it doesnt work, also live where people report stupid shit like cars sitting too long with cobwebs)
El camino needs fuel lines after I replace the gas tank ignition to be re-wired since I have to basically hot wire it to start it.
SN95 Needs trans work, needs a throw out bearing but waiting to get a clutch kit as well.
F250 needs new stereo.
F350 needs brake job and new batteries.
Jeep needs tires, probably a brake job and to stop getting drenched everytime it rains.

Future projects include
>Ford Falcon cruiser or something else I want to make into a fun easy driver.
>Craving a VW Rabbit or bug.

Keep playing with the idea of picking up a free 460 from a family friend. Have to sawzall the truck frame and take the motor home but then I'd have a new toy and something to learn on.

What've you guys got?

Need to sell: H2B Integra, makes 210whp. Just been too lazy, not too excited at the prospect of dealing with the dark hoard that makes up Honda """"fans""""

Listing it up for $5000, but if someone gives me anything over $4200 I'll take that and run, already taking a bath on it. Has a QSD H2B Kit/H23A/GSR trans, Hondata S300, Konis/GCs, ASR Rear Subframe and 23mm Swaybar, new bushings all underneath (HardRace Rubber or Poly), ITR Seats, and a bunch of other crap in a '95 RS shell (230k miles, but its a hardtop + 1995 so it doesn't need emissions inspection)

Only flaws are: No IACV, Exhaust Leak, and bumpers are a different color, paint isn't in the best shape.

I need money ASAP after I picked up a 97 M3 and now I'm going to dump money into doing the whole suspension/cooling system/mounts on the car. I wish I bought one earlier. Its ridiculously fun to drive. I get the hype behind these cars now. But I'm looking at $500 on the cooling system, $300 in mounts/flex disc, $1000-2000 for the suspension (with shocks or coils), etc.

>>14726280
Did you build up the Integra to learn? seems like a lot of work for not much in return.

I bought it because I was stuck in a stupid bench racer mentality where I wanted to just go fast. And I had a ton of suspension parts from another Honda I had before that was crashed.

I ended up buying a already swapped car for almost $5k, and put those parts into it. I should've never done it to begin with because I ended up with a ridiculous "track-focused" car that was unbearable to drive on the street:

Heavy clutch, Stupid Loud Exhaust, no AC, ridiculously heavy steering for even no PS standards, grabby brakes, stiff and hopped over every bump, retarded quick (210whp/2300lbs) but spun up to 3rd gear.
>>
>>14726309
I always though about doing this when my paint goes but I kinda feel itd be a bit ricey lookin or trashy, my own opinion man but you gotta do what you gotta do.
>>14726319
Makes sense a lot of people get into that, not to be a dick or anything but I mean thats really not fast. For a honda eco box yeah thats pretty good but imagine putting the parts and money into a car thats worth it? But yeah man a lot of people get into doing that to DD's and shit.
>>
>>14726319
To add it was retarded fun if you were going fast, but driving it on the street was a fucking chore.

The M3 amazes me because it corners almost as quick as my old Integra, while driving like a Cadillac around town/stuck in traffic. Is it slower? Sure, the Integra was a high 12/low 13 second car (ran a 13.0@101mph on 23" slicks with plenty to go). The M3 is 14 flat on a good day. More expensive to maintain? Of course. Honda parts are the cheapest of any car.

>>14726339
If I added a LSD and 225 wide 200tw tires it would've been even faster. 210whp/2300lbs doesn't sound quick until you're in it, and for what you spend only a DSM/F-Body would be quicker (without the ability to corner as well). Hondas are bar-none the cheapest cars to go fast in.

I just lost all interest in it. I forgot I was driving this car on the street most of the time. The M3 is more fun and I can oversteer in it :)
>>
>>14726364
Yeah man I totally get it, its like driving the sn95 its really not fast and pig fat but it sill gives you that feeling.
But its cool you got a new one you like I hope everything goes good man keep posting updates seems like a good project for you

Yeah I'm afraid of it looking rice as well, but the peeling clear coat just looks so bad that I don't have any other choice. I guess I could get it repainted, but I feel like the effort and money to do so isn't really worth it. Don't get me wrong, I love this thing, but I rather spend it on an upgrade than cosmetic.

Maaco was running a paint special not sure anymore, you could probably get it resprayed pretty cheap if you want.

Well I need to finish getting the new setup odds and ends taken care of so I can tune the car. I demodded it a bit selling my entire turbo setup to go back to a plain old 16g. Mostly just make a little extra money as I want to try to sell this thing within the next two months.

Last time I was on a 16g in 2014 I ran mid 11's so that's the goal again. Figure if its a turn key problem free 11 second car I shouldn't have an issue getting 5k out of it.

Then I also want to sell my SRT4.

Ideally I'd like to buy a C5 z06 or a c6 ls3 vette. Also considering getting a 5.0 SN95 and replicating a friend's build a bit for a 500whp fun street car.

Anyway, also going to be knocking out a lot of maintenance on my drz400sm. Chain/sprockets/oil change/cam chain and also installing new signals/tail light.

Then my beater non turbo talon I want to get cleaned up and ready to sell too but I'll sell it last so that I keep a daily.

So TLDR:

Sell everything except my drz400sm
Get sn95 5.0 and build it, or get c5z06 or ls3 c6 and do a fairly simple heads/cam setup.
Get a ranger/s10 for a dd.

Main thing stopping me lately has been my job/location. My new job I started last year I had to move 3 hours away from home and I don't have the time or place to do much work on anything. Just got a new job back home now so my last day with my current job is the 6th so I'll finally have time to do /o/ things again.

Aren't they shit though? The one here is only capable of painting fleets of cab vehicles, only because they generally don't care about the job.

>>14726712
I mean they don't do the best work, a quick cover and spray, might look better than bad paint man.
