I'm with you on this.

 

THIS...except paint the bowtie black not body color. Evo mod it! well idk thats kind of getting old now too. but definitely drop it!

 

I may drop it.... at some point. The current ride height insnt too bad.... and being that its my DD that i am going to drive 50miles a day.. to and from work... i may leave it. We shall see.

I think im gunna take off the front and rear bowties.... and either paint them or throw them away... they are in pretty crap shape. The side badges i like.... and other badges on rear dont bother me.

Im gunna focus on getting this thing CLEAN! and getting the fluids and stuff changed out and ready to last me another 100k miles. Also will be looking to either pur subs in... or upgrade the rear 6x9's.... any opinions on what to get for rear speakers? 2way? 3 way? 4way? i may not change the factory head unit for a while so i dont want them to be quieter than the stock ones now.

Also... the rear parking brake.... whats the easiest way to adjust it? It currently doesnt hold... i pulled te center console pieces... and it looks like the right rear cable is WAY more loose than the left rear. I didnt see an adjustemtn screw or nut though.... is there a "How To" on this somewhere? I couldnt find one with pics..

 

This.

Way over done now.

I'm a little older, so I like the stock look, but with additional power under the hood.

I'm not into debadging, wingless, painting bowties/emblems, evo mods, etc.

The only exterior mods I have are EDR9 wheels & red calipers, lol. The rest is how she rolled out of the factory.

 

i wish i had blue and not black :/

 

I love my blue, but it is a bitch to keep clean. As it is with a black car.

Makes me wish I picked up the silver 07' SS/SC w/ black & blue interior I was originally looking at. Silver stays clean looking forever, lol.

 

wish i would have known about g85 before i bought mine... oh well... but, i got it for a steal . and eventually it will get a lsd and tc seats

 

In you tag it looks like ur bowtie is silver.

 

Here's a larger picture.

 

Ain't that the truth! This is why my family owns 3 silver cars.

 

mine was evo modded from the factory :p

 

Here she is.... about to give her a wash.... this is PRE washed... She looks ridiculously amazing now... couldnt get a good pic... had to pull it right into the garage after i washed it... because it was rainig like a **** at that point.

geez who is the douchebag flipping us off.... JK

 

Haha... my buddy took this pic.... he was giving me shiit for parking sideways in the driveway like that to wash the car... because my ebrake wont hold... and even keeping it in first gear on that hill it wont stay put

SO i birded his ass. LOL

 

ahhhhhh... 100k miles... hopefully by then mine will be rebuilt and have a tvs or turbo.... only 20k miles to go.... looks good for having 100k miles. also my ebrake didnt even work when i bought it... didnt care.. racecar uses other cars to slow down and walls JK lol. as for the difference in them idk... i havent checked them out.. if they use the rear calipers or use a drum like design in the rotor. probably use the rear calipers. id check pads and rotors first step.. i

 

scary thing when i was driving my car home.. parked at applebees didnt know the ebrake didnt work got out of car started to walk away turned around to observe its sexiness and saw it rolling screamed like a little bitch unlocked and hopped in it before it ended up in the back of a mini van... **** bricks no ****... parked it somewhere else and left it in gear.

 

Yeah right now im just under 90k on mileage. 89500 or so.... running strong other than the IC pump not working. Ill be fixing that real soon. One of the many perks of having a garage. Small garage... but a garage nonetheless.

 

It may have some falts but you'll love it. Welcome to the club!

 

Well i went ahead and ordered an Ingalls torque damper.... and a new IC pump. Soon to be ordering a new set of HID's (do you guys have a suggestion on which ones to get?)... and a new passanger front headlight assembly... it gets a good amount of water in it currently

I used DDM HID's on my integra and loved them... 35W raptor kit with the 6000k bulbs.... and never had a single problem with them. What are all of you guys using currently?

 

This. "Evo mod" and all that other garbage is for gay ricers. Stock exterior ftw

 

Dont buy any from Rector08 or whatever his name is people been having problems with him but there are a few guys on this forum that build different types, check int he appearance section.

 

Yeah i read the thread about him.... what a doucher.

I ordered the ITD from 383_Stroker on here.... and the IC pump from ZZPerformance.

After checking the pump flow after going home yesterday.... it was working all of a sudden.... odd. Maybe the car wasnt up to operating temp or something when i originally checked it. IDK... at least ill have a pump on hand when it stops.

 

I went ahead and installed the Ingalls Torque Damper last night... as well as cleaned the throttle body out for the slight idle issue. The idle peoblem only really started happening intermittently with the AC on the past couple days..... when coming to a stop it would drop very low... then come back up.

Didnt take pics of the throttle body cleaning... pretty self explanatory.... but here is the Ingalls before i put it on.. and after.

As soon as i pulled it out of the box...


Right after the 10 minute install...

p.s. Thanks a lot 383_Stroker for the fast shipping~ Much appreciated!

 

hmmm... didnt know i was a ricer... because i removed the BIG useless(ricer) wing and the big bling bling badges that say SS and supercharged that scream for attention.. instead i have just a "regular looking" cobalt. ERMYGERD im such a ricer aaaaaaahhhhhh. to each there own no need to bash on people that like "clean" looking cars. you like stock thats cool. and im not to big on the evo mod either but, im not gonna call someone a ricer for doing it. its not like they have some ridiculous body kit, 20's, huge wing and stickers gallore

 

Quick snap of the balt.



Notes: After the ingalls torque damper install the motor surely doesnt move anywher enear like it used to... i can tell the power is going straight to the wheels when i release the clutch and hit the gas. It has made it a little harder to start off in first (as far as smoothness goes) but i like it and im sure ill get used to it asap...

After cleaning the throttle body... i havent had any bouncy idle whatsoever... idling right at 800rpm's consistently.
