[ebaydmej1]

Yeah seriously... my plans are to build a completely new motor for a completely new car, neither of which are decided yet... But either way it should be a blast, and a damn good winter project.

[jon]

i would love to have a new motor....turbo my f or drop an h in there but i dont really have the money to spend on one now :(

[erik]

If you ever do an H swap, let me know, i'll come up and help.

[jon]

i want to i just dont have the cash....if i had the 600 i would drive over and get that h from elite in a heart beat...

[erik]

Maybe he will give you the deal of a lifetime? :idea:

[jon]

i could only dream...i would take a day off and drive over for it....

[2.5i]

Hopefully, if planned correctly I will manage to stay out of trouble during Winter Break... so no tickets. I find those are the best mods money can buy.

[justin]

my plans are as follows...

come back from retirement.
get a job.
get paid.
save money.
get a new block
get some parts.
take my new block machined
throw the new parts in the talon
and get that shit running before summer.

oh ya and pay my cell phone bills on time so my phone doesnt get shut off. haha

I really don't think I'm gonna do much over the winter. I too would LOVE to do the H swap. I'd like to get a few small bugs worked out, get my headlights adjusted, get a new grill... I need to clean my car, bad. Other than that, I'm not sure. I'd like to get an HID kit, maybe I'll ask for that for Christmas.

[B-Loud]

Im building a new F22 engine to boost about 15psi at least. Replacing all the internals, bore, hone, port the heads, turbo, new injectors, fuel rail, basically everything that you can do to your engine. Should be pushing over 300 at the wheels when it goes in. Than piecing together a new sound system on the side because mine seems to quite now and i want bigger so i can blow out windows haha!

I got a brand new grille for my 1991 accord ex for 8 bucks on ebay and its a brand new stock grille, so u should look their

[JetBlack]

Nitrous in January.

Vacuum the car.

Drinking and poker, tomorrow night at a SpokaneSpeed guy's place, with the rest of that bunch of clowns. It generally breaks out in video games and people not talking to one another for the rest of their lives. Or until they sober up and remember that cheats are fair and so is listening to your opponent's footstep on the cell phone.

Put up the fluorescent units in the garage.

Resume welding practice. It's been a while and I don't want to lose skillz.

Upper control arm install, when it's warm enough.

Swap out the old aftermarket aluminum driveshaft for the new one and send back the old one so I'm not sitting on a pair of SpyderShaft's $600 driveshafts, anymore.

Explore and expand my love of tequila.

[Nate]

Clean my car good and park it, Drive my subaru or my family's AWD dodge caravan in the nasty weather.

[jon]

Suggestions Jon....

Do the following while its out of the car:
Waterpump ($70-80 at most!)
Timing Belt (I went OEM, Honda -$90)
Balance Shaft Belt (Goodyear, $18)
All new belts

Let me know when you are going to do it :) Shoot for around my winter break and I'll come up and give you a hand. Keep in mind I will be gone to CA from Dec 21 - 27

You also may need the ECU.... But I do have some OBD 1 pins for hooking up V-Tec ;)

[jon]

ya i plan on doing all the preventive stuff while its out, ie water pump,timing, i might do theh23 tensioner swap...im gonna get a new ecu either way...im glad you have the pins now i dont have to hunt for them

[erik]

When I went hunting I cut off like 4-5 clips, someone was probably pissed if they were looking for a wire harness. :evil:

[jon]

ahhh screw em lol

would it be easier for me to make a extra lil mini vtec harness so when install time comes it goes that much quicker?

[justin]

damn i should have checked the forum sooner you could have met up with a bunch of us ex. if you were gonna be around long enough you could have even hit up the bellingham meet last night. it was pretty dope. i think we brought up like close to 15 cars last night.

[polar bear Grant]

yeah and it should have been 16 cars but my damn dizzy

[justin]

you shits fixed now so you have zero excuse to go Saturday

[2fast4usteeley]

just picked up an f22 and currently am stripping it to the block and head and tend to fully build it up to be a beast and i know i know its not a vtec or a h22 or a b18 but i just got it as a fun little project. but yea just plan on building a little race motor.

[Domesticated]

well, now my plans are to finish paying off my car, i cant afford 300 dollars a month if these three speeding tickects go through, its already like 200 with only three tickets so far

[2fast4usteeley]

[slice636]

Wen I get back from England...
