Just when i had put up new pics of my car the site goes down so i got to redo it i guess. Have a lot of up dates on my car too.

Just last week, i started on my clutch, and suspension. I ordered an excedy racing clutch and drop zone suspension kit, coil overs and shocks. Yea, i kno, it aint name brand but i've got a saying about suspension, it aint the coil overs or springs, its the shocks. New shocks are better then the old shocks and the way my car rides now, I aint complaining. I had to tear apart my tranny 4 freaking times in 3 days man!!! All because of a wrong axle which i tought was the clutch disc was backwards. Could have helped if i wasn't doing it alone. Anyways ..so today after pulling it out for a 4th time so i could do Everything! right one last time(turn the flywheel) Im happy to say...im almost done. This week i got to order my skunk2 exhaust system and slap that mug on too. Now i got a chatter or some sort of vibration which i hope to diagnois tommorrow at school. Got some new pics which i hope to develop and put up by this weekend. Man ..that felt good ..been waiting to post up for the longest...lol

Dude, Nice looking hatch, I like the rims and swap..lol. I miss my 95 Si Hatch they stole. But if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have my 00 Si.

Good luck with all the work, and get a friend to help. Keep us posted.

Peace

Thanks guys, i got some more pics i want to post up. Some stuff from after i did my suspension. I'm thinking that this car, the only thing that they can do is just break into it but can not steal the car. I got a nice little kill switch so they can crank the car but not start the car..my own personal alarm so this time instead of them stealing my car like my 99 si, they'll be staring down the barrel of my 9mm.

suspension IS about your springs in relation to your dampers, among other things

Pulled the tranny out 4 times, do you have your own hoist or something?

Yup, used a floor jack, tipped it over on its end and lifted up passed the tranny mount ...or rite under it ..and flipped it to the rite angle and jacked it up with my leg(looked like a dog taking a piss) and then pushed it in...sounds easy but it took quite a bit of effort. Just did a 94 lude ...that was a bitch. 5 guys and a lift and we still had problems. My advice to anyone who wants to tackle a lude clutch job at home...don't. It is a bitch...compared to b-series.
