aloha!

Whats up man? The car is looking good. I've always likes the 5th gen coupes.

hey buddy some of your parts are on this car remember? im RPW from MPF.

I know you posted your location as MA but any chance you were in NJ sometime last year before November?
I saw what i believe is your car waving a thumbs up while heading to work on the NJ Turnpike.

very possible. flat black 3G ? august i drove through jersey.

Wow!!
Yes that was you.

friggin awesome

Yeah, I know who you are. I think I have parts on most everybody's car.

Pimpin aint easy!

Werd! So, glad to see the car has come together and you are enjoying it. I assume because there are no photos of the car on jackstands, it means you use the car more than most of us here.

it is acceptable... and always for sale for a decent price i have put nearly 100K on the car since i purchased it. the bottom end is TIRED.

in the works is putting in a built 1.5, recipe courtesy of some PR folks, and turbocharging it. hoping to get over 250whp on a daily tune. shouldn't be too hard since most nearly double the HP with no internals. i've had the parts forever however time is a problem.

it has not always been fun and games though. i am constantly plagued with issues on the front of the motor dealing with the crank, timing gear, crank pulley and pulley bolt. on this motor my crank is worn on one side allowing the timing gear to flop around a good 1/8th inch and i've snapped a bolt or two off in there also. probably what started this mess. i've since replaced the timing gear and alot of the play went away but there is enough to put a feeler gauge in.





another mistake i made... needs atleast 24 hours of drive time. i gave it 25 minutes and the loctite acted more a lubricant.





and one time earlier this year i forgot to drain the coolant before changing the water pump

one of my many autox videos, this one on street tires-

quick little walkaround during the winter, before i wrecked the front bumper and swapped out the GROSS flowmaster muffler for a 3G eclipse GT one. you can also see my wideband, evo5 wheel and evo6tme cluster-

driving through flooded roadways, about 20 minutes before i tore the bumper off on some debris sitting in the deep water. 2nd gear pull at the end-

hey whats up this is keith i met you at the meet

holla!

WOW! thats alot of thread locker. I wouldnt use that much on 20 bolts. It only needs a strip from top to bottom in order to lock it down... Anyways nice progression on the car man. I thought for sure it was turbo'd or swapped or something.
