the lifestory of a DC5S...

I feel like i'm talking to a child.

If we all had a choice to wear something that's more "comfortable" we all would be wearing an open face helmet in the first place. But a majority don't.

There's a reason why good close face helmets cost more. Coz its safer. Same deal with motorbikes. You can wear an open face if you want, but i can also tell you that its not advisable.

So your willing to pay for a useless item like the beaks bar, but not when it comes to safety you aren't? i just don't get it. You should never skimp out when it comes to safety.

Its your face dude, and i would hate to one day tell you "i told you so"

well thats y the car has its own safety features..not like u drive on teh street with a closed faced helmet...with the beaks bar..technically its being used everyday where as the helemt is going to be used 2-3 times a year.

lol, ur garage is on carpet?

my car gets the best treatment

i chose open-face since its more comfortable and also since my car isnt that loud, the guy at helmet warehouse said itd be safer since u can hear it without bouncing off the rev limiter, also good closed face ones (lightweight) cost so much more. Wouldnt the airbag have popped up anyway? In that case, you would have to drive on the street with a helmet as well.

If i were you, i wouldn't have gotten an open face helmet.

Even if your strapped in properly, you never know what can happen. I have a friend who basically "kissed" the steering wheel when he crashed on the track, and f***ed up his face. Wouldn't have happened if he was wearing a full face helmet.

from jdmyard:







planning on getting my front and rear brakes fitted after i go to mdtc ( current ones should be wasted by then anyway)..skimped out on rear pads and rotors since they are rears :P

[stevan]

yeah but u dont really notice the polished pulley ( i didnt notice mine for almost 2 yrs :P)..wouldve been better if the coloured pulley was used for the power steering pump instead being buried away...

so uve decided on ur suspension?...i havent even driven the car since ive fited my wheels and tires :P

fair enough, yeh ive decided on suspension but i wont give anything away until its all finalised and i sort out exactly what else i will be ordering. should be good though

[crashprash]

JEEBUS thats a little concerning! Changing pulleys on a K20 is a very debated topic, one dude on crsx has been running the obx full underdrive pulley set for over 2 years without problems, least they look nice

i want to get the stock pulleys all polished and paint my valve cover lol. After new suspension

btw dude how does the car feel with the new wheel/tyre combo?

so tried cleaning and my beaks bar with degreaser and some normal car polish..it got a bit fo the dirt off but its quite faded and brown ...also cleaned the engine bay and noticed something strange..it seems the previous owner has changed the pulleys..i could only check the power steering pulley and its an obx racing series item..i have no idea y someone would change the pulleys on the car tho?:S...also i have purple/pink pulley at the bottom and i doubt very much honda uses coloured pulleys...if only i could find out what else has been done to the car so I know what i have and what I dont have to change :P
