OK all caught up? lets go.
So was a big week of car parts. 2 of my type R buddies made some changes. One aFe back to stock, one stock to aFe and myself adding aFe front pipe and hassport motor mount from the one that is going back to stock. Catch all that?
Well lets get started. so in here there is a total of 2 oem exhausts and 2 aFe exhausts and a front pipe and motor mount being switched between 3 type Rs. So this all started when my buddy with a blue Type R named sonic decided he was gonna trade his type R in. NOOOOOOOO!!!!. OK well hey sell me your parts before you do. He was ok can do, but you already have a aFe exhaust. IM like yeah but I like spare parts.
So I start my day with a look out the front at my type R and notice a bug making his own Nuremberg ring on my roof in the dew. You go buddy!
OK time is ticking hes gotta trade it in 2 days lets roll. Gotta find someone to do the work and get his aftermarket off and oem back on before has to go to dealer. We find a guy and get to work.
Poor Sonic.
Sonic's owner giving him one last look. After aFe came off just the hangers are left but about to go.
oem about to go back on. dang that thing is big.
All done, here all the goodies im buying.
Well Sonic's ready to go to the dealer. Sad day.
Well now im all loaded up on parts and even got a full set of amsoil oil and filter for my next change. Now my other friend with a red type R got a injen intake and is wanting a exhaust. Well guess what I have LOL. He says can I buy that from you and I am like sure. So we make plans. but first I need to get me DIY vinal fixed from episode 3 so off to the wrapper guy.
check out that mustang...
So while i'm waiting on wrap I walk out side and i see this sign. Wonder if they help with car parts?
so wrap is all done.
ok now off to my other buddies house to put the exhaust from Sonic on his car Knuckles.. you know because its red. Sonic and knuckles
Once we were done with his exhaust, which yet another former type R owner came over to help, we put my front pipe and rear motor mount on. But we paused for pizza first. Ha. Now the parts.
Um its a tight fit we had to go get a jack that went higher.
Ah that is much better. Look how happy they are doing car stuff. Man I got some good friends.
So I failed this time around with good pictures, i forgot to get the front pipe and the mount plus somehow lost the ones of us working on my friends red R. Sorry buddy. But here is the oem parts off.
I think that is the third OEM exhaust now we have dealt with in these posts. Buy the way if you are interested he is selling his oem exhaust pictured here (just the exhaust the front pipe and mount are mine) he has it listed here for local pickup only in Asheville NC https://www.civicx.com/threads/2019-civic-type-r-stock-exhaust-for-sale.37155/
But that was not the end my other friend that helped sold me his down pipe and heat shield yes yes I know LOL I also got a spare rear window wiper as well.
Well that is it for now. I just want to thank my friends Kwon, Baron and Logan. They have helped me so much and owe them another sweet poker night. Except this time we wont put car parts on the next morning due to them hangovers.
Well we do have another day this Sunday of tweaking the red R and mine so it continues. Oh and if ya got a few mins to see some videos check out Kwons channel on you tube hes got some car stuff and fun videos to see.
