Oh, forgot the tools no handy man can be without:

BFH-big funkin hammer

RGDBMFH-really gall dern big mo funkin hammer




The first one is usually a 10lb sledge, the latter is a 5gal bucket full of concrete with a hockey stick in the middle. It's only for emergencies. Or body work on my truck. :wink

[tourman]

for those of you with your honda/acura ricer friends...


B16 - standard civic engine... 1.6L(?)
B18b - 1.8L Acura Integra LS engine, fits in civics and is a popular swap, bolts right in...
B18C - 1.8L Integra GSR engine, same thing as B18b, straight awap into a civic (stock B18C in a 92 civic hatch runs low 15's, high 14's, completely stock)

B18c5 - 1.8L the mother of Honda made engines, the Integra Type R engine...


Vtech engine is the EXACT same as the above ones but i t has a Vtech head on the block. popular conversion is to put a Vtech head on the LS engine, good low end from the LS block, good high end from the Vtech head. just gotta drill/tap an oil line...

b20 engine comes in the Honda CRV, EXACT same as an LS (b18b) block, just bored to 2.0L... sleeves are a little thinner though, bolts straight into all previous cars for some nice torque, i'd reccomend boring out your LS Block though, little stronger sleeves.


i may be wrong on some of this, but should be enough so you can at least understand your riced out friends

[BuckeyeSVT]

Funny, the 3.0L eats all of them, including the Type-R (Friend has a Yellow Type-R). Nothing like getting spanked by a Ford ;) He beat me with my normal 2.5L however...

He runs 14.6 normally, and that's with all the ricer gear (CAI, Cam Gears.. Electronics). I think he still needs to learn how to shift though, because just between two gears I can leave him almost a half a car length. Not to mention, another person who I used to know that accidentally shifted from third to second on the track when they meant to go to fourth. Can you see little bits of flying VTEC hardware everywhere? He did.

[Chattavegas]

What's IMRC mean? I know it's the secondaries controller box on the vavle cover. But what does that stand for? I forgot. :sadbye:
