  1. Haha, I like the IFO events and don't take them too seriously. Paul runs SFWD
  2. Idk its just crazy what Alabama has put together and will continue to put on the field. Until the NCAA steps up and does something bout the over signing why not continue doing it?
  3. What happened to Heisman hopeful Manti Te'o tonight? If he's the best LB in the country then there is some really shitty linebackers playing D1 ball
  4. I dont know if I buy into the whole over signing thing. Someone made a good point on scout that South Carolina over signs yet they don't sniff the national championship game. I just seriously think Alabama's players and coaches are on a whole different level than the rest of college football right now. I don't think OSU would've stood a chance tonight against this Bama team and not so sure they will next year either should they meet up. LOL@ the center pushing McCarron and basically saying, get the fuck out of my face we're up by a ton
  5. I don't see Alabama losing anytime soon either. They dont have a real difficult schedule next year and will still be loaded with Talent. If they can beat A&M early in the year I see them running the table. They are easily the best team of the BCS era and you can't even argue it, 3 titles in 4 years is stupid lol
  6. I don't think Oregon would've fared much better to be quite honest. Alabama seriously looks like an NFL team out there, me and my buddy are watching the game and first thing he said was "Holy shit Bama is huge" He just got home from Germany so hasn't gotten to watch much college ball this year.
  7. It always amazes me how fans of teams come out of the word work when their team is suddenly halfway decent lol. Not saying that is true for BStowers, but I know a lot of Cincy "fans" who just started coming out this year. That goes for baseball too, it was amazing how no one talked about them all year until they went to the playoffs. FWIW I am a "clowns" fan and am well aware that they are a train wreck of an organization lol
  8. Haha no i dont understand it either most the time. Prob why i dont have one
  9. I went 11.2@129 on pump gas and 17 psi on June 6th (I have a spread sheet of all my runs lol). I never got a run after that really, track was closed most of July, car went to the tuners and was there for a month due to every issue known to man popping up on the car. Got it back, went to track on c16 thinking I was going to be on 30lbs, instead my boost controller took a shit. I ran 12.31@117 on wastegate pressure (6-9lbs). Got it ready for IFO (September), had ignition and wiring issues the entire week leading up to IFO. Hell I had them the day of IFO, ran a 25.xx with the car not revving past 3k rpms, and then I blew the bitch up. I never got the car to 60ft better than a 1.796 and that was a 1 time deal. All other runs were 1.8-2.0eeek. Hell the 11.2 pass had a 1.818 60
  10. It doesn't look good because they used a recruits name, if you don't think those were intended for James Quick, you're high lol. It looks bad on them if he chooses Louisville as it comes off as either trolling or looking desperate.
  11. Eh shit happens man, just gave me an excuse to change up some parts I had been wanting to for a while anyways. The motor is done, I just gotta finish paying it off and get it back home. I think I may actually do that next week and then its time to buy a head gasket and fix my wiring harness.
  12. Doesn't look good on Ohio State, apparently they did the same thing last year for Diggs and got burnt.
  13. Trey Johnson= Buckeye Interesting stuff going on right now on twitter from the OSU coaches: Zach Smith ‏ @ CoachZachSmith Swish!!!!!! Lights out like Jordan!! Zach Smith ‏ @ CoachZachSmith Don't Get Blinded by the Quick Flash... If You Belong in The # Spotlight Then Come Be # TheSHOW - The # Chase4TheCrystal CoachZachSmith Quick... Name all the 1st round draftees at WR from THE Ohio State university. I said QUICK!!! Lets go!!!! Zach Smith ‏ @ CoachZachSmith @ CoachTomHerman ALL the 1st Rounders?? Twitter has a Character Limit!! We aren't one of this schools with NONE... EVER jbook ‏ @ jbook37 Sounds like Ohio State coaches are hinting that they got James Quick as well. He suppose to have called the coaches. Notice the word useage of QUICK lol. I hope this is true, if not these coaches are gonna come off looking like assholes for taunting a 17 year old kid via twitter lol
  14. All of the OSU recruits have looked solid thus far in the game. Vonn Bell has stood out the most to me of all players in this game, hopefully he lands with Ohio State.
  15. 11/8/12: So a crazy deal popped up last night that left me dwelling on it. My buddy makes turbo manifolds and posted one up for sale. I hit him up just to shoot the s*** and talk about the manifold and thats when he offered it to me for a crackhead price, so the wheels in my head really started turning. Needless to say I woke up today and talked it over with my buddy, my wife and a few other close friends before making a decision....looks like I am getting a new manifold haha. I am going to sell my Go-Autoworks topmount if anyone is interested shoot me a pm! The turbo pictured is a 372 used for mockup and not the turbo I will be running on it. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/manifold-1.jpg 11/14/12: I found a guy on a forum I frequent who has the ability to make cutom engraved cam seals. So me and my buddies (don't wanna call ourselves a clique, crew, ect haha) ordered some of these bad boys for our motors and a few extra to sell off. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/untitled2.png http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/untitled.png 1/3/13: For the first time in a couple months I purchased something for the car. I found a set of D17 coil packs for a good price so went ahead and pulled the trigger. I chose the D17 packs over the K series ones simply because they are lower profile and fit under the stock spark plug cover easier. Aside from aesthetics they produce the same results as the K series coils from everything I have read. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/coils.jpg
  16. 10/30/12: While checking my email I open one from Phearable.net, apparently they were on crack while sending out emails. In the email it states they have 70mm throttle bodies on sale for $69 shipped, without a hesitation I bought 2 haha. Now I know I don't need 2 throttle bodies, but again, they were $69 a piece so I will probablly either sell one or give it to my buddy who tunes my car as a Christmas present haha. 10/31/12: Well I just got heart breaking news. Basically the Integra's motor is trashed, needs 4 pistons, bored out .5mm, honed, surfaced, 1 rod, a crank, bearings, rings, gaskets oh yeah and a new water pump. Not real sure what I am going to do now...Honestly the cylinders needing bored is my fault. I sprayed the motor off prior to shipping it, it must've stil had some water in the sleeves and once it was in the tote it caused them rust. Consider it a lesson learned here folks! http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/oops.jpg Well after taking some deep breaths, talking ot my wife, Mike Laskey and my dad who is my voice of reasoning....I have decided to continue on with this car. I am going to change up a couple things internally. It will now be 84.5mm bore rather than the 84mm and instead of 9:1 compression I am going with 10:1 also changing out the ITR cams with some Skunk2 pro 1's. Gonna try getting this bad boy to spool quicker and broaden the power band. I just wanna take a second to say thank you to Mike Laskey@ Laskey Racing for coming through in the clutch yet again on this damn build. He is hooking me up bigtime in order for this thing to move forward. If you ever have a motor built I would highly suggest you look into this man doing it! I also wana say thanks to my dad for these genius words earlier to me: "So let me get this straight, you want to throw away 20k, over 2k? That seems logical to me"....gotta love a smart ass dad who knows which buttons to push on you haha
  17. 10/6/12: The spending spree begins!!! I sat around today and debated on what I wanted to knock off the list of things to buy first. I know I have some bigger things to fix, but that money is already put aside so I figured why not get a few things out of the way. So I hit up Greg from Go-Autoworks and got a new Radiator, Fan and Shroud, Push Lock Vacuum kit and a Rear Bumper Diffuser. My radiator works fine, but the addition of the shroud should help keep things cool. Plus my fan is not in the best of shape. I am tired of blowing vacuum lines off even with zip-ties, so the push lock style should help solve that and the rear diffuser will hopefulyl get some trapped air through the rear bumper. This winter I really want to work on suspesion and aerodynamics as I feel the car has more then enough power to hit the goals set. That doesnt mean more power wont be added though, stay tuned for that to come later 10/8/12: Since I am going to change up the look of the car I figured I might as well start picking up some odds and ends. I came across a set of amber bumper lights on a local fb selling wall for $15 delivered, couldnt pass em up http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/lights.jpg 10/11/12: I ordered a go fast part tonight. I loved the ITR cams that the car had, they made great power and idled like stock, however I have decided to upgrade that area of the motor while its torn apart and hopefully pick up some more power across the power band. So out with the 01 ITR's and in with a set of Skunk2 Pro 1's. 10/12/12: Well the spending spree continues. Tonight I finally made up my mind and ordered the Hondata coil on plug retro kit. I also picked up a B&R distributor cap. Gonna place an order with Honda next week for my coils plus some random gaskets/bolts that I need. Next week is gonna be like Christmas once all these parts start rolling in haha. Parts arrived this week: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/parts-1.jpg 10/20/12: Sometimes a deal pops up that is just too good to pass up, today was one of those times haha. On a local facebook selling wall a set of Weld wheels with 24.5 Mickey Thompson's pop up. I have been wanting these wheels for 2 years now. I will pick up a set of matching rear skinnies at some point as well. I paid less for these than you can buy the rims alone for. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/wheels-1.jpg 10/21/12: Well I finally got the motor out and apart to see what went wrong with it. Sadly it was the one thing I didnt want it to be, a spun bearing. I am going to send the bottom end out to Laskey Racing sometime this week to have it put back together. The oil smelled like straight c16 so I am leaning towards the idea that the rings got washed out when I was having flooding issues caused by a faulty distributor and just broke down the oil causing the bearing to spin. Heres a pic of the damage: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/bearing.jpg 10/24/12: I'm going, going...back, back...to Cali, Cali!! Today I pakcaged up my motor to send it back out to Laskey Racing in Anaheim. Hopefully it comes back soon as I would like to have it all back together by Christmas http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/Car%20Pics/4dr%20GSR/motor-1.jpg

  19. I wasn't going to even post this up on here but figured fuck it, why not? As many know my shit blew up last year at the September Import Faceoff, what can ya do right? I debated exactly what I was going to do for a few weeks after she came apart, it was a phone call with my dad that made me decide to keep moving forward with the car. He has a way with words, let me tell ya. His exact words "so let me get this straight, you are going to throw away several thousand dollars and hours over a couple thousand more? Yeah that makes sense" haha!! My only real goals outside of some 10 second passes for this car is to finally just enjoy the damn thing. I haven't really done that the last 2 years as I have allowed myself to be influenced by others. I really am going to try focusing on not giving a fuck what people have to think about me or my car, I think if I can acomplish that then the results I want will follow. I will be copying and pasting from my build thread on another forum, incase anything seems off you will know why.
