The_buster

I have a 2003 Civic that I need to get rid of. It needs either a new engine or at least put back in time. It has 148k-ish. Pros- minimal rust, new suspension and brake parts up front, lower miles for the age, 5 spd. Cons- engine troubles, needs new tires, brake line blew when I got it stuck in the snow. Price is the tricky part. I still owe on it. My payoff is about 1100. If anyone is interested or know of someone who might be let me know. My number is 740-644-2301 call or text. Thanks!!

Emergency Department. We see all the fun stuff that shows up.

I work at Licking Memorial

I figured as much. trying to find a starting point has been puzzling

it shakes the whole vehicle violently. so start checking the suspension parts then? starting with the track bar?

because I went the practical route and didn't want to get stuck anymore. that was the second time. also I only had 2500 to mess with. I would still love to get a srt4 caliber in the future as a summer vehicle, but that time is not now.

it has the 4.7L.

So.. I haven't been on in a while, and wanted to update everyone on the busters life. I was laid off from the Chrysler dealership in December of 2017. I took some time off and worked with my dad and helped with his business. The talk came up of me taking over, but business slowed way down and the money wasn't there for me. The wife is a nurse at our local hospital and looked in their job openings and found a tech job in the ED. I applied and got the job back in September. It is a fun job and I love it. Good benefits and hours, also more money than I made at the dealership. Car wise.... I blew up my Honda I got stuck in snow a month or so ago and it jumped time when I was trying to go uphill, completely my fault I should have just walked up the hill but I was determined to make it... I didn't and had to be towed up the last 20 feet. So tax time came and I bought a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited v8 for 2250. I love it, has a few issues to work on. Death wobble is one of them, but I think that's from a caliper that is sticking on the right front as the wobble only shows up after using the brakes multiple times. after hitting every red light going down 79 in Heath it shows up when I hit 50mph on the highway part, coincidence or cause? I'll post pics when I take some and clean it up. But that is all for now, just wanted to say I'm still alive and things are going great now.

I drive an 03 civic with crap for power, I'll take on anything just for fun. My goal is to make a 300-350hp car to have fun with and still be reliable to daily. Out here in the cornfields we have a surge of Subarus and old beat Hondas, I don't see many high power cars, also don't get out much during night time.

Just a trailer for it.

I have a 2003 civic. Am currently just planning rice type stuff for now. I don't want to throw a bunch of money into it if I would be able to get an eclipse down the road. If I were to build the Honda, I would ditch the d17 in it now for a type R motor, lower it- not slammed, new wheels/tires, brakes, intake and exhaust. Along with some appearance upgrades.

Too much chrome for me

True. But couldn't you split everything into a L/R setup. Have two top mount intercoolers that connect to 1 bank each, and same for the rest of the setup. Or is that still just as bad or over complicating things?

https://blog.caranddriver.com/engines-with-small-individual-turbos-for-each-cylinder-could-revolutionize-downsizing/ I shared this on the Facebook group. But for those who aren't on there, what are your thoughts on this?

Surprised no one has mentioned me yet... If I had 8 grand... Probably get an AWD Turbo Eclipse, and turn it into Brian's car. I am choosing the awd over fwd for better launch and handling. I found one on craigslist for 3-4 grand, leaving me with enough to upgrade suspension, wheels/tires and brakes. Yes I have thought about this and the wife is slightly possibly ok with it maybe. Haha. kids are both front facing so that's not as bad of an issue anymore. I'm just on the fence still on staying with the tuner car scene or getting a Cherokee XJ and making an overland style vehicle.
