It's like early-'90s NASCAR turned up to 11. IIRC every race at Daytona and Talladega in 1991 had a car do that but at the low speed of 200mph. Now they have little pop-up spoilers on top to prevent that. On mobile so  but I'll edit in the relevant youtube links when I get back to the laptop if nobody posts 'em first.

Crustashio posted:Definitely don't have another B17. It actually had a B18 for the first few races this year, but it was overheating and down 50psi on 2 and 3 so we pulled it. Found valve contact marks on every cylinder but no bent valves so our guess is a PO overrevved it and slapped on a new head. Immediate plan is to assemble a B16 since we have 2 complete bottom ends and a collection of heads. I will eventually assemble another B18c bottom end with a B16 head. I really love the B series, they're dead loving simple to work with and 90% of the parts are interchangeable. Eventually I'd like to transition to K series but that will be when I have a nicer chassis. That era of Honda 4 banger is dead simple in general - B, D, F, H.... you work on one, you've worked on all of them. There's still millions of B series engines out there, though USDM B16s aren't nearly as common as a B18C. I have a little bit of hate for the later H's because of their appetite for oil. So many last gen Preludes scrapped because they started smoking My B18A was down to almost nothing on 2 cylinders (<50 PSI) when I got rid of my DA.  It was a smoke machine that would have made James Bond himself cream his pants (basically a quart of oil per tank of gas, with no significant leaks, and was a bitch to get started after it'd sat for more than a few hours).LifeSunDeath posted:What up NE dallas bro. Used to be my old hood. Had a friend with a Type-R back in the day and it was so fun, always wanted one. Look a little closer at that pic, are you suuuuuuuuuure it's your old hood? No longer in DFW - I escaped almost 2 months ago. (and most of my 20 years in DFW were spent in the suburbs... plus Denton - I lived in Dallas proper for maybe 5 years) That picture was taken in east Austin, on Riverside. The Austin tip off is the "don't block the box" sign, which I've yet to see outside of Austin. Still cool to see DFW and ATX goons tho. I met several DFW goons over the years, maybe I'll run into some ATX/SATX goons eventually.

STR posted:The B17 is pretty rare though. At least in the US, it only came in the 92-93 Integra GSR. Pretty sure that was the only model the B17a ever came in - Japanese EF8/9/DA6/8/EG6/9/EK4 and whatever code the Del Sol was were all the 1.6 I still miss my DA8 even though the little 1.6 was never quite enough for a sedan

big crush on Chad OMG posted:What part of ATX are you? I'm off of 183, fairly far north. dissss posted:I still miss my DA8 even though the little 1.6 was never quite enough for a sedan I had a DA9 (hatch), which weighed quite a bit more than the DA8 thanks to the, well, hatch (and those loving electric seat belts). The 1.8 moved it decently, considering it was attached to an automatic, but it was a dog off the line. Once you got it moving it was pretty fun, but 0-30 was painful. Had an AEM CAI on it (came with it), and the JDM headlamp assemblies, but otherwise bone stock. I'll never forget some tweaker looking dude in an old Z car (260 or 280) picking on me, getting his rear end kicked, pulling up next to me after, and yelling "DAT THING GOT A TURBOOOO?!" at me, me saying "nope, bone stock, and it's automatic too", and him cussing a bunch and doing a very weak 1 wheel peel around the corner. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Sep 20, 2018 |

I once took a pretty bad wipe out on a wake board, smashed my head into the water with enough force to see stars, and I somehow punched myself in the balls. I instantly was in the fetal position, I somehow held my breath, and just had to float for a little bit in pure pain before I even considered breathing or anything else.

My own mechanical failure:  Shifted into 2nd after leaving my house and everything got all floppy. Pulled off the boot and surrounding trim to find this! Shifter just snapped in half, it was the most gentle of shifts, too. The short shifter was already installed when I bought it, and something never felt quite right about it. I had pulled the boot off before to check it out but didn't see anything wrong, but only because where it was cracking/cracked was obscured by the little bracket that holds one of the trans cables. On the plus side, Cravenspeed sent me a new one for free, as long as I returned the broken one so they could figure out what happened.

Pre-K Bikini Carwash posted:My own mechanical failure: This happened to my dad in an 88 F-350. He went from second to third and hit his hand on the dash. He drilled the remnants of the shifter in the trans and the stick and bolted some angle iron to it. When it was sold last in 2011, it still had that fix on the shifter and never had any issues.

Frond posted:I have a DA6. We got the B18 in those ones. It’s adaquate, but then again I have a coupe. Nothing wrong with the B18 (in any form), it was a solid engine. Obviously the B17 or B18C were more desirable, but the B18A/B could handle anything you threw at it so long as it didn't involve overrevving or leaning out. Even today, it puts out respectable power for its size. The 2.2 in my mid 00s GM doesn't put out much more power, and my GM weighs a shitload more - the only real difference is what RPMs you get power at. A DA or DC Integra would easily outrun my GM in every way possible, so long as it ran on all 4. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 10:13 on Sep 23, 2018 |

Yeah, my father's been there, done that, burned the shirt. Brazing copper on a A/C unit wearing a Dickies polyester workshirt ... there was a bit of moisture in the joint, the tiny sream explosion sent a drop of molten brass onto the front of his shirt, and everything from the placket to the armpits poofed away Wile E. Coyote style. Wear cotton when doing hot work.
