pretty much all of us on the site are young i just turned 20

 

20 exactly one month ago for me, been thru 2 civics and a del sol so far, this is my 3rd civic :P wrecked all of em.

 

21. i can drink

 

just turned 19.
lol

But yeah i doubt you need high temp on your valve cover tho..
a friend used glossy black on his and Its still there. doesnt look like heat has done anything to it lol

 

Haha wow didnt realize how many there were haha and sigracer, no need to brag hahahaha jk jk

I would think that the high temp on ur vc would be better just in case ya kno but id say if u have that high temp primer that it would be safe

 

So pumped for tomorrow! Suspension goes on, woo!

Also got a trade lined up over break.
My Skunk2 lowering springs for:
-Ls throttle body
-OEM front bumper (yay, fog lights can go back in!)
-$40

 

I get my suspension setup tomorrow! I might be doing mine in the late evening. Good luck with those control arms man.

 

Heh thanks, going to my friends at 8 am tomorrow, so we've got pretty much all day... gets dark at 7 ish. So unless my suframe snaps off getting the bolts off or my motor falls out getting the front UCA on I think I should be able to do it in the day lol. Expect lots of pictures ha. I am going to show this off like no other!

 

Holy hell cant wait dude ur car is gonna be nice

 

Well I did my suspension today.

Easiest fking thing I've done so far. Not a SINGLE bolt broke, impacted every bolt in the rear right off, not any hold up. Only problem we ran in to was when we put the castelated nut on the upper ball joint on the Blox control arms, the cheap *** nut stripped. First side went fine, and on the second side, impacting the nut that came with the Blox UCA stripped halfway up, for a second I was bout to freak. Thought to myself, damn, $60 for new ball joints and it'll have to sit or throw on the stock UCA for mad camber. Threw a vice grips on it and unthreaded it somehow. Still haven't figured out how the ball joint threads were fine, the Blox castelated nut's threads were pretty much gone. Threw the oem one on and it was all good. The rears were super easy, bolts came out like butter, no heat, just PB Buster and impact gun. Reused the oems, so really didn't need the ones I ordered, oh well. Put 2 washers per trailng arm in the back and my cambers pretty good back there, front needs to be adjusted a little more. But I'm going to go another thread lower I think. I haven't scraped anywhere yet and I did some steep driveways, so why not. Getting a professional alignment next week. I am SUPER happy with the coil/shock combo. The ride is so smooth considering how low it is and how bad of roads I drove on. Handling is nice and I love it! I'm making a 3 hour round trip drive for the trade mentioned a few posts ago, so don't mind my sh!tty bumper, new one with fogs will be on soon! Here's some pics!

And now my new valve cover that is a work in progress. Laid 4 coats of glittery primer, and have 3 coats of gold down. I have to do a few more, you can still see some scratches and the spots where the Quiksteel was put on. I'm also going to throw like 2 layers of clear down too. The front strut bar is also in the process of being painted:
