yeah, I came out this morning and my front bumper has a crack in running through the fog lights - no clue how that happened. Prolly rock some band aids on it for a lil bit till it gets warm enough to take a good look at it.

Tryin to decide right now btn whether to replace the fugly exhaust or pick up my rims first. I'm thinkin exhaust cuz I can install it now and the rims won't go on til Spring anyways. I'll try and take some pics of the damage and how she looks with the missing lip once it's warm enough to stand outside w/o freezing my ass off in about 30 seconds flat...

exhaust ftw

your thinking soundly in your judgement there, as your right if you don't put the rims on till spring, you don't need them till' then. Plus that exhaust you got on there= Fail in a big way

try thermal or greddy cant go wrong there

Hmmm...so let's see here. Last week I walked outside and noticed a phatty crack in my bumper. This weekend I blew both front tires takin my moms to the airport; not at the same time either. Blew one, got the spare on, made it about 10 more miles on the highway and blew the other one. So now I'm rolling steelies

mattliston · 12-22-2008, 08:22 PM

how did you manage to blow 2 in the same day?

HonduhDave · 12-23-2008, 07:10 AM

Not really sure. I was on the highway and hit some hole in the road or some shit and about 5 minutes later my passenger side front was flat. Just had a lil gash in it on the inside part of the tire. After replacing that with my lil baby spare I made it about 10 miles farther and then felt my driver's side front go flat. On that one the entire inside of the tire was blown where the sidewall meets the tread. Don't know how I pulled it off but it was impressive nonetheless. I'll post some pics later this week of the tires...

so have you done anymore work to this piece of shit or what?

jk

HonduhDave · 02-19-2009, 06:19 PM

Yeah, sorry I haven't been on her for shit recently...

So I had to replace the cat with a test pipe cuz the cat was clogged and the stealership wanted $1K to replace it. Oh, and I've got two different cracks in my front bumper - one from God knows what and the other from a damn shopping cart and 40 mph winds. Combine that with getting two flats while taking my mom to the airport and my car looks rather doo doo at the moment

Fuckers wanted a grand for a foot long piece of metal mesh in a pipe? Goddamn thieving Honda dealership!!!

If you need a cat that passes emissions, the magnaflow highflow cat does the job, just needs the flanges welded on.

i have also figured out that i hate emoticons.... because people use them way to fucking much haha

HonduhDave · 02-21-2009, 02:46 PM

I got the test pipe on there, and am too lazy to replace something that works - even if it is causing me to have a CEL

I have a feeling the two flats has something to do with the fact that my car's like 2" off the ground; they both blew on the inside seam so I have a feeling they were rubbing against something in the fender but I'm not sure on that.

Don't worry buddy, the rims themselves are still fine. Funny thing is, I'll be in Nashville (hopefully) on April 1st and 2nd to watch USA - Trinidad/Tobago in a World Cup Qualifier match. I wonder if there will be room to stuff four rims in the Jeep somewhere...

Yeah, my luck is pretty much shit though. I really do need to find me a new bumper, a primered bumper would look better than my cracked to shit bumper at this point...

i dont remember do you have a camber kit? if not your wheels were prob cambered in too much, putting all of the pressure on the inside of the tire then bam hit a bump or pothole and they blow. that happened to my buddy a few years ago in his civic.

well hell if you do come to nashville let me know and we can meet up, even if you cant bring the rims

(no homo) just let me know fool. oh yeah if i dont get on here for a while im prob in jail (long story), i have court tomorrow so we will see. holla bitch

Onefastek97 · 02-25-2009, 11:08 AM

yay no jail!!!
