well, i got around to installing my cca i.c. this weekend, i planned on installing my gauges and running some charge pipe, but i was being lazy, so now i'm a ricer with just an i.c. (just an i.c. installed anyways). funny story though, after the install i went to wash my car and some black kid was like "yo dawg, is that an intercooler on your honda?", ME: "yeah, i'll be installing the turbo next weekend" HIM: "damn, you gonna put a turbo on it too?" ME: "yeah, the i.c. didn't add enough power, now i want a turbo too" HIM: "damn, that's ----'s gonna have some power, i'm about to put a supercharger on my caddy" i swear this is a true story. some of the pics are kind of blurry, i don't know why because my camera is usually on point, must have been user error.



starting to get wood, right about now.....


checking to see how much i'm gonna have to hack off my bumper


half way through the hack job (i love air tools)


finished hack job


bolts installed (if you notice, they are a little long, i just left them like that, so the i.c. is sitting a little low, i got some shorter ones yesterday)


finsished! as you can see, it's a little off center, but i have to replace the bolts anyways, so i'll handle it then.


a cart that my buddies are working on


the honda 600 dirt bike eng. w/custom brackets for the cart


dirt bike junk yard



my boy hacking off the gay license plate holder on his new bike


my auto meter cf gauges


my stealth mani, i held it up to my head and i don't think it's going to clear my a/c which is going to **** me off if it doesn't oh well, if it doesn't, i'll just slap some paint on her and sell it on ebay and buy a mani/dp from bmc.

 

Hahaha, RICER. :P Looks good. Is it functional at least? Is it actually cooling the air going to the intake?

nope, strictly rice for now :P i was going to run my charge piping to my intake and put a filter on the inlet of the i.c. but i was going to use crush bend (low budget for now), but decided at the last minute to go ahead and order some mandrels. it's turning mad heads though

 

Good stuff kevin. Is that garage at your house?

 

na, it's about 10 mins from my new house and where i lived last year. i use to rent it with my boy, but i moved about 30 mins away while i was looking for a house to buy and decided not to rent with him anymore anymore, so my buddy (the guy with the cart and dirtbikes) started renting my half, but we're all good friends, so i can still go there. the friend that rents with him now is actually about to move away also, and i just moved back, so it works out good and i might jump back in on the rent.

 

good ----, it looks tight, get that bitch ready for daytona, i wanna see how it turns out in person

looks good Teg. keep us updated

 

hey doc, i'm surprised you didn't comment on the go cart and dirtbike

 

damn I would hate to be one of your neighbors, you guys are probably always making all kinds of cool sounds, like air tools whining, revving dirt bikes, rice burnin honda sounds... etc.. nice car, is that an si?

 

yeah, a 00 si. there really aren't 'neighbors' it's a couple of these 'garages' in a row, most people rent them for storage, it's only 100 bucks a month including electricity they're in an open field that's in the middle of a trailer park, so most of the people are drunk red necks and don't care
