Any idea what the cost would be for valve job? I don't know if thats the prob, but I notice a little tick when idled. When running it seems ok.

Also, you with leather seats, do you find it ok in the winter? This is my first set of non-heated leather seats.

[rey_mysterio]

just warm up your car before you drive .. .

My going rate for an adjustment is $40, it has to be done when the engine is cold.

I did mine when I first got the car and I couldn't notice that the engine was even on. Your oil might also be worn down.

[bigbadboss101]

Rey you still have your hot car?

If you wouldn't mind I've got this noise thats driving me crazy. I searched g2ic and figured it was the rocks-in-the-heat-shield-cat deal.
well... removed 3 of them and it cured about 75% of the noise. I see now that there were actually two different noises, one cured with the heat sheilds removed, the other is up front... driverside-ish. Usually only heard under load around 3 K and up. sounds like a loose washer against metal... eeeeeeeeerrrrrrrreeeeeeee like.
If someone wouldn't mind taking a spin with me, maybe I can squash this noise.

[rey_mysterio]

im having that problem right now too. . . its really annoying and sounds like pooo. . .hey badass i still have my hot car. . . .

i hope it doesnt rain on saturday cause that would be shitty and then i dont think i would wan to go. . . hey quassrav sorr y aboot the name. do u think i can knock the cluth plate out of place though. ?? hmmmm:rolleyes:

[derek123]

The Upper Shields ( the one on the bottom of the car, not around the pipes). Rather tinny sounding. anyone else ever thought about sound proofing them ?

Sure! Come on out! I'll add you to the list.
So far the only suggestion has been this Saturday (October 1st), 11am at Chinook (upper parkade off of 5th Street).

As far as that rattle goes, I had it at one time but I ended up replacing the whole exhaust from the header back and it cured it. The rattle wasn't the main reason for changing, but enough to push me to upgrade. Apparently, it was a baffle inside either the cat or the resonator or something like that.

BTW. Quasar, wicked deal on the lens covers you bastard!

[MaximumSpeed]

Hey guys, I'll be in town this weekend. Unfortunately I have a friends wedding to attend to on Saturday Oct 1. If I have time I'll try to drop by for a bit.

The leather seats are cold in the winter and hot in the summer.
Why I have them I don't know, they just came with the car, however I do like them just because I can say I have leather seats hehe.

Sorry, I jumped on them about 5 min after he posted. They were brand new but I'll have to remove my bumper to install them.

If I find another set I'll grab it for you, having the internet at work gets me good deals!

No worries, they were too good of a deal to pass up. Can't blame you for acting quick. They're GTS lens covers aren't they? I don't think you need to remove the bumper to install them. My last set just slipped on. Bring them on Saturday and I'll take them from you - er help you install them.

[QuasarCav]

They are GTS and unless I'm really dumb I swear I'll have to remove the bumper. There is a tab on top that slips around the housing and then there is another tab on the bottom that has to slide underneath. I pushed as much as I felt comfortable pushing and it didn't slide in. I'll just loosen the bolts behind the bumper lights and slide it in that way. I've heard the mounting tabs like to break so I'll take it easy on this one.

And if I am really dumb by all means let me know.

[stevieo]

so this saturday at 11??

[bigbadboss101]

Darn, I am meeting at 9:30 to help move. Gal # 1 is Oakridge, #2 in Dalhousie, and #3 in Royal Oak. I will try to drop if we finish loading by 11.

[91VTEG]

11 is kinda early but i might make it out and if i come i will bring my one friend who also has a gen2 teg

[QuasarCav]

SATURDAY, CHINOOK UPPER PARKADE (BEYOND/403 MEET AREA) 11 AM

:rofl: :werd:

As far as the meet goes...is it just a meet and hang out or what? Are we going anywhere? I wouldn't mind going for a bit, but I don't think I'll be there all day.

[frozenrice]

Hey man. You're alive!
We'll probably just meet and then maybe go for a spin around town or hangout somewhere. I doubt that it will be an all day thing. Add you to the list?

91vteg for sure come on out and bring your buddy too.

[gen2teggy]

moonracer is gone...frozenrice took over as new leader hahhahaha

[rey_mysterio]

is the meet still on if it rains saturday. . .????:zzz:

[frozenrice]

yeah I've been waiting all my life for moonracer to leave..........
As far as "leader" goes, if somebody wants to do it go for it. I'd love to if I were single but family comes first. I just wanted to have one last meet before winter hits as I know some of us park our cars for the winter.

As far as the rain goes, we'll do it rain or shine. This will tell us who the true diehards are. If it does, we can always meet at the bottom level of the parkade.

[danlowteg]

damit i work saterday i might be able to make it but dunno

[stevieo]

i might not be able to make it too, if it rains then ill drop by (cause i have one last day of work and if it rains i can't work)

[QuasarCav]

I had to remove the front bumper to install the guards. I tried and tried without removing it but they wouldn't line up straight. Oh well It's like 5 min to remove it by myself.

So, I'll have no way of seeing this thread on the weekend so hopefully I'm not alone in the parking lot on Saturday. Matt has my number so at least someone can try to get ahold of me.

Speaking of Matt, are you coming?

[stevieo]

allright see you guys tomorrow

[frozenrice]

hope so. just finishing off replacing the drive shaft right now (taking a break).

[Genjuro]

lol yo my car is leaking oil BAD... i'll show you guys tomorrow...

[frozenrice]

FYI. If you ever have to change your drive shafts, make sure you specify whether or not you have ABS and make sure you get the correct side (driver's vs. passenger/left vs. right) as they are not interchangeable. Tonight, I had to change out the drive shaft for the third time this week because the one that I bought from the store to replace the incorrect replacement one that I had, was for the wrong side. :banghead: :banghead:
I think I'm done being pissed off now. See you guys tomorrow.

[danlowteg]

dan coming too

[frozenrice]

not feeling too good eh?

[gen2teggy]

c u guys there...i might be late but ehh

[stevieo]

we gonna be upstairs or downstairs??

[freakin]

crap, I've been anti-social for the last week because of school. It's now noon on Saturday and I'm just waking up. I'm going to shower then try calling some of you bastards to see where you are and if it makes sense to meet up with you at this point. I'll be rocking transit to make over there at this point, but I'll bring my DV cam with me.

PS, same goes for my voicemail messages...I have about 9 on there, so if you've called me and I haven't responded, I'll be taking care of that this weekend as well. :D

[91VTEG]

you guys have the meets way to early, just woke up,

you should have made it at 3pm

[stevieo]

Lewis, I just changed my tranny fluid with the synchromesh, it already feels better going into gears, i'll give it a few more days, maybe a week to see how it settles in.

[derek123]

So, that wasn't a beer funnel for little people ?

[frozenrice]

I have to say I had a good time this afternoon. Hope to do it more in the future. Nice to meet some of the new people as well. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[freakin]

Thanks again Mike for picking me up! I only got to meet one new guy, but it also was nice seeing everyone else. Looks like I missed a few that were kicking around Chinook. Next time we should have a later meeting.... a saturday morning isn't condusive to my sleeping habits. :D

same here, I had to wake up earlier than usual to make this meet haha.

[frozenrice]

hehe you can thank Quasar for the 11am suggestion. He was the only one that made one. Actually if we didn't set it for 11am, the zoom-zoom Mazda guys would probably have taken our spot in the parkade.

[Moonracer]

Ya that was a fun time today :thumbsup:
Here are the few snapshots I took.

Only frozenrice understands my way of thinking. It was nice meeting all you guys.

Edmonton sucks!

[stevieo]

do you guys know if the 90-93 integra rad fits in a 92-95 civic? (Sedan) if it helps..

[freakin]

don't EG's run a half rad? I don't think they have the mount for a full length rad. Best way to test it would be to size one up. I think Mike (frozenrice) has his old one lying on the side of his house still if you wanted one to test the fitment with instead of buying one first.

[stevieo]

reason is, i can take my buddies half rad and put it in my car for my turbo app, but he says I can have it if he doesn't sell his car but I kinda wanna get a g2 rad for him just incase (thats if i can get one for cheap)

[frozenrice]

I've got a rad for REAL cheap (ie: free) , but it's got a leak in it. If you want it, let me know.

Genjuro, next time stick around longer or at least invite us for dimsum (j/k). Sorry couldn't help you more with the oil leak issue.

[stevieo]

awesome, Mike. I'll take it.. I'll try to swap it into the civic hehe

[Genjuro]

thats ok frozen, i'll get my car in good shape before winter hopefully...
guess that was the last meet of the year?

[frozenrice]

Not neccessarily the last meet of the year. We usually just wing these types of meets. No ryhme or reason as to when we do these kind of things. If someone wants, we can always do more.

[QuasarCav]

Next meet is in Edmonton at 9am!

[Speed_Dreams]

Glad all you guys had fun. I was gonna show up and show you all the bower of RWD turbo...but my new turbo is still on the way....Stupid money pit i call a 240....o well soon it will be fast im hopping to hit mid-low 13's next year at the track. and maybe push it into the 12's with Drag radials :)

[derek123]

how many of you store your g2s for the winter ?


I'm gonna need some winter meats, any suggestions ?
just fronts ?


stevieo, lookin clean :thumbsup:

[frozenrice]

I got a quote from a place called Big O tires.
Hankook W404 winters for about $95 (installed and balanced) + taxes. That's for stock 195/60/14.
CMS quoted me roughly the same price on Kumho KW11s.

[bigbadboss101]

try mytires.ca.

They say it's best to get all 4 to keep the car balanced.

[QuasarCav]

:werd:

On the x4, you dont want unpredictablility (huge word, from now on refer to it as UP) in already unpredictable time.

I got some Blizzak LM-22's and I'll let you know how they are in about a week. They are pretty pricey though and if I didn't get them for a good price I would have gone with a set of Kumho's. And remember to go for a skinnier tire in the winter, a 185 or 195 perhaps.

My teggy runs all winter long, it's the only car I have unlike Matt.:nut:

[stevieo]

yea go for the 185/65/14 instead of our stock size of 195/60/14 (for winter tires)

[frozenrice]

Originally posted by QuasarCav

x4 especially if you have ABS. My old set of winters were 195s and never had any problems with them. Kind of a dumb question, but how would 185s make a difference?

At least yours runs.......(j/k Matt).

[gen2teggy]

im scared...i might have to drive my teg in winter.
im scred the sunbrid might die! hahha if i do drive it....im put my teg away somewhere around mid oct...maybe we could have one more meet....before danm winter!

[QuasarCav]

That's cold man.:poosie:

The thinner tire exerts more pressure over a smaller area resulting in more grip. It's the opposite of having more contact area like you would want in the summer.

195's are fine but if you are buying new tires then it's something to think about. I'm running 195's.

[rey_mysterio]

I have a tranny if you want to do a 5-speed swap. :)

[QuasarCav]

Do you have the 3500 too? Because that is kinda what's holding me back.

[freakin]

If I had 3500, I'd have my car on the road right now.

[QuasarCav]

I can lend it to you at 10% per day.

Teggy was awesome on the highway, my co-worker in a caddy STS couldn't believe that I could keep up.

[Genjuro]

hey im looking for rotors and pads right now.. suggestions and where to buy online?
dont really care about performance at the moment and i want not too dusty pads. no oem too..

Axxis metal master
Brembo blanks

Importrp.com

Not OEM, Not dusty.

there might be Rey, just hang on.. maybe in a week or two?

Lewis - Importrp.com how are the prices on there?? hows shipping - any rapage on brokage or anything? I need brakes BADLY mine are warped to shit haha.

[freakin]

I have some new KVR carbon pads and some cross drilled rotors for the front that I'd let go if someone's interested. I'm thinking $120...I paid around $150 for them.

[QuasarCav]

Importrp was good, he heavily marked down the price so that brokarage wouldn't be too high.

I got 2 sets of rotors and 4 sets of pads and paid just under 30 CAD for duty. The brakes arrived in less than a week.

[danlowteg]

ok guys i would love for one of you to buy my cf hood instead of shipping the beast and never seeing it. steal of a deal 370 and it looks brand new:eek: ;) :D :love: :devil:

[Genjuro]

k i just bought the front rotors and pads that you suggested..
if that doesnt solve my problem then i'll get the rears.
next: oil leak, windshield, one piece, stupid clunking suspension.

[QuasarCav]

Solving problems by replacing parts soon get costly.

What is the problem?

[rey_mysterio]

i m going to be parking my car this winter and was wondering if i should rent a single garage for it. Or should i car cover under my car port. . . .my car was painted this may and i was wondering what were some of the ups and downs of both of my options??

i know that i would definatley be taking off rims,battery and stereo equipment.Could salt from the roads still get to my car??

blaah blahh:zzz:

In the car port, your car would still be exposed to the elements. I doubt you'd get salt on it, but you'd still get dirt and pollution on it...not to mention some snow. It would still be exposed to the large temperature fluctuations and whatnot. If you can get a cheap garage, then go for it. I've seen double detached garages go from $100-$200/month. If you found a decent one, you could split the cost with someone else and have a decent amount of room to work on it over the winter if you were so inclined. I may be looking for some space to store my Teg pretty soon, but I need it to be running first. I think I'm being kicked out of my garage. :(

[rey_mysterio]

Matt let me know if you do decide on storing your auto. . . maybe we can work something out. . . . but its probably not a good idea to leave it to the last minute,because all the good deals are going quickly . .. :thumbsup:

[freakin]

I will be about a month before I even decide to store it....so I'd likely be looking for Dec. 1 by the time I get my crap together....I'll let you know in a couple of week how things look. :thumbsup:
