When I first got the car, it had 18s on it. My brother had put these on. I also painted the drum and Calipers Silver but quickly got tired of the rims and the paint.

Alright after riding a while on the 18s, and after a trip to the mountains it was time for them to come off. So back to stock alloys. Also got the Magnaflow muffler put on since the stock muffler had a hole in it. Also had my headunit from my truck and some subs in the car....got tired of the subs as well., and sold them.

((((( applause )))))

this is gooood stuff, brb .. going to pop some corn

it is good to know the story of the wheels, I was so close to buying some identical to those 18z, but decided it was too much metal too close to the asphalt.. need more rubber and less suspended weight for that to work. In other words, lowered car and tighter spwings.. lol
wonder what happened to Estimated ?

those wheels you have now are so complicated looking, nice though. but from a glance look like S-10 steelies .. no offense, now that i know what they are I appreciate the look.. more pics? more story...

Its temporary until I get my battery box.

Alright guys need some help. The AEM bypass valve I have is a 3" and the piping is 2.5". I cant get the bypass valve to stay on any suggestions?

[Cheeseburger]

looking good! keep it up! do they make 2.25 AEM bypass?

[mushroom_toy]

^Wasnt sure, but I have this one....and I really dont want to spend $52.xx for another one lol. I didnt buy it btw I got this stuff in a trade form a member here.

[Civic Accord Honda]

Nice

[MessyHonda]

TITS....big DD props for you....i like your engine bay...come over to cali and we can start taking my AC and relocate the batt .

[bullard123]

Good job!

[BITESIZE]

Why did you make so many cuts?

You could have cut it like this and made the longer piece shorter to attach the bypass and kept the battery up front.

They sell those reducer bushings in the ricer section of most parts stores.

[Civic Accord Honda]

They sell those reducer bushings in the ricer section of most parts stores. yes thay do thats my fav part of auto stores :D i dream of owning all the Type R interior kits and spiner hub caps with the fart can and APC bolt on wings :rice::help:

[Pico]

They sell those reducer bushings in the ricer section of most parts stores.

Yup that what I used to get mine to fit

[Pico]

Looks good mushroom, just make sure you get a heavier battery cab;e when you get a chance and I believe since your battery is the acid type you will need to vent it to the outside to prevent fumes from building up

[mushroom_toy]

^Who said I didnt like fumes:flash: No really though its gonna be done a lot better later on, once I get my battery box and some other stuff. For now the 4 guage is perfect and not affecting anything. Things are like they were when I switch on accesories etc.

^Bitesize I actually moved my intake and shortened it a bit. Plus I was wanting to relocate mt battery anyway. Makes the engine bay just so much cleaner.Also got my bypass valve to fit properly. Also sanded the paint off since it wasnt going to stay on anyway, and its now just plain, but I kind of like it better. Pics coming after I take some daytime shots.

Oh yeah also the reason mine has so many cuts is because i have to route it in between the auto shifter cable and the brake line of course.

[mushroom_toy]

TITS....big DD props for you....i like your engine bay...come over to cali and we can start taking my AC and relocate the batt .

If you were in Ga...I would do it for ya.lol.

[mushroom_toy]

They sell those reducer bushings in the ricer section of most parts stores.

I just used an old belt cut it into two small sections wrapped that around the pipe, then put the rubber coupling from the valve on top of that. Works like a charm!

[mushroom_toy]

Ok well I wasnt happy the way the cai was sitting, so i shortened it and moved some pieces around and voila Im finally done. The paint kept chipping too so im just gonna leave it like this.

[Hazwan]

Looks better unpainted.

[mushroom_toy]

^yeah the paint wasnt holding anyway. XD

[MessyHonda]

i would be carefull with that brake line...when you drive the engine will tilt back and forth and it might start rubbing

[mushroom_toy]

Thats why the padding is there.

[mushroom_toy]

Well here are my new wheels, just gotta go pick em up off my other car tomorrow. They're 35mm offset but Im gonna make em work. :) Need new rubber first though.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/JubeiMunchCurry/DSC04984.jpg

Quick and dirty photoshop just for an idea.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/JubeiMunchCurry/ResizeWizard-1copy-7.jpg


Also may be getting some rare parts soon. :)

[knarg]

those wheels are awesome!

[MessyHonda]

yup the rims remind me of cheese rims.

[Hazwan]

yup the rims remind me of cheese rims.

thats what I thought. what size are those?

[mushroom_toy]

They are 14x5.5 with a 35mm offset. XD Im gonna end up getting them soon because I didnt feel like it today. Im lazy. Yeah the reason I wanted them is because they were meshies. XD

[mushroom_toy]

Guess what I found guys from a source that will never be named....a DC Sports header...was only used for a few weeks, strut bar. :) Too bad money is really tight right now....I need $130....

[Civic Accord Honda]

the rims are SEX
i want that car under the tree too hehe

u shoud paint the rims black tho :D

[mushroom_toy]

WHen I get em...Im gonna leave em gold. They're too rare to paint. XD

[86AccordLxi]

Are they factory mr2 wheels? I don't think they are, but I know the center bore is smaller so factory mr2 wheels don't work on 3geez. I tried putting my dad's supercharged mr2 wheels on my old sedan and it was a definite 'no go.'

Alex

[mushroom_toy]

^I forgot the centerbore listed for regular basketweaves but I think theyll fit. They were dealer option wheels, or either period aftermarket.

[Tomisimo]

those wheels are awesome!

Yup, just like on Cheeses car :D

sorry Cheese got to love u'r car ^^^ I had to... Loading ONLY ;)

[plasmadis]

Incredible. Very meticulous work. You're going over like every inch of that car! Love those blacked out lights. Looks a lot nicer with the smaller rims. What's that in the trunk, fiberglass?

[mushroom_toy]

In the trunk where?> No fiberglass here.

j/k

looks good tho

[mushroom_toy]

Mine are different and have centercaps!:lol: I always wanted your wheels thogh. XD

[mushroom_toy]

Well guys got another part to my turbo puzzle. Autometer SRT10 boost guage. Came from an srt4, pics as soon as I feel like it. XD Like I always say, things are better when theyre free!

[mushroom_toy]

Well guys I'll be getting my Dc Sport Header and Dc Sports Polished Strut Bar this Weekend!!! $140 for both! Steal!

[2oodoor]

:rockon::eek5:

great!

[mushroom_toy]

Yup pics of my boost guage will be on here in a little bit. Its already installed but not hooked up.

[knarg]

awesome, that dc stuff is going to be awesome :)

[mushroom_toy]

^Indeed it is. And as promised here is the boost guage which is already mounted but just not connected yet. i will prob hook it up tomorrow, and just use it for vacuum for a while. And yes I know it is tilted slightly...the srt4 housing slants the guage, i might make a shim later on but its fine for now.

[coope]

5spd swap is a must have my friend. and what does that boost gauge read when u hooked it up?

[mushroom_toy]

Of course its not reading boost just vacuum, its not connected but I tested it and it works fine. Ill be running the vacuum line/wires to it tomorrow. And five speed swap will come with $$$

[Hazwan]

looks great.

[mushroom_toy]

^Thanks. It might be temporary...but I do kinda like its position there.

[knarg]

you should make a cylindrical pod to mount it on the dash, so you don't crash looking down at your boost :thumbup:

[mushroom_toy]

Eh, I can actually see it pretty good the way its sitting.

[2oodoor]

EH, boost guage should be close to your line of sight of the rest of your instruments or either the road... I guess that may not be quite as important as staying in your lane,, um I mean if you have boost controller programed and rev limiter all you doo is drive it, gessh its already and automatic just push play...




just messing with ya...you are getting a nice collection of goodies there bro

[Civic Accord Honda]

Cool! :d

[mushroom_toy]

^A good collection of goodies for free. Everyone is like why waste money...just do an engine swap...and im like....everything i have gotten so far was free. :)

[86AccordLxi]

This is how I did gauge setup in the slo40:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v168/e1griego/DSC00035Medium.jpg
Boost gauge on column, and then water temp/wideband (replaced egt guage seen in pic)/oil psi gauge.

Make sure your water temp gauge is in a spot you can see.

[BITESIZE]

Your steering wheel hub looks uber huge!

[86AccordLxi]

Just a lot of extensions. It's a momo competition--it has a thicker rim than most wheels, but I really like it (esp the free.99 I paid for it :P ).

Alex

[mushroom_toy]

^ Love the way the gauges are set up. Like I said its just temporary, maybe although I do like where mine is located now, and its was simple to install using the srt4 housing that came with it. Oh and here are pics of it installed and working/lit. Yes I know I have a boost gauge in a car with no boost....yet, but hey it can always read vacuum.! Also I can actually see it quite well whille driving, its out of the way of the steering column and i can see it good, so it may stay who knows. Anyway on with the pics.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/JubeiMunchCurry/ResizeWizard-1-80.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/JubeiMunchCurry/ResizeWizard-2-67.jpg

Oh yeah At idle im about -20, at full throttle im at 0, and at regular driving im at about -10. This would be a normal reading right, in terms of vacuum for this car?

[86AccordLxi]

Yeah, sounds about right.

Every motor is different. Mine only pulls -15 at idle, which is a bit low, but afr's are fine, so meh. (+10 on boost ;) ).

Alex

[mushroom_toy]

Alright that works. XD

[BITESIZE]

Where did you hook the vacuum gauge up?

[russiankid]

I have my volt meter mounted where your boost gauge is, and i plan to mount a vacuum gauge right next to it:)

[mushroom_toy]

I ran it to the outlet for cruise on the intake manifold. I dont have cruise anymore, so I plugged it a long time ago. I uncapped it and ran the vacuum line to there.

Btw guys...its a BOOST Gauge lo....only vacuum for now. :)

[BITESIZE]

I've always want to get a boost guage and run it for vaccuum. I'll have to get one now. I want to put mine in the engine bay next to the intake manifold. I'll have to get one now, since I have like 3 ports not being used. Thanks!

[mushroom_toy]

You could just plug the ports. Summit sells some vacuum gauges for engine baqy uses I believe, theyre pretty nice if I remember correctly. Or just find an SRT4 neon at a junkyard and steal its boost gauge lol.

[BITESIZE]

Whats our vaccuum supposed to be?

[mushroom_toy]

around -20 ish at idle, -15 regular driving, and 0 pressed hard/WOT

[MessyHonda]

it also depends what witch cam you have...if you have low vac that means your idle wont be as good.

[mushroom_toy]

^Unless youre at WOT. Anyway I adjusted my idle to high yesterday, cause it was idling low for a while now, before anything. Not im getting the up and down idle...time to go fix it later. :(

[mushroom_toy]

Well guys got around to getting a battery box and redoing my trunk battery setup. Box is just a $7 walmart marine box but it should be perfectly fine. It is bolted down with 4 bolts, and then there are 2 strap holders that are bolted down with 2 bolts a piece under it. I took the strap out till tomorrow cause i didnt like the way the latch worked so I have been sewing industrial velcro onto the strap to get it looking better when its held in place. Anyway here are pics.

Also guys I've been having a problem for sometime now.Ill talk about it in a seperate reply though to save eye space lol

[mushroom_toy]

Alright onto my problem. Well this has been happening for a looong time now and its slowly been driving me nuts. Whenever I turn my light on at night, when I press the brake the lights will dim, but only every once in 4-5 tries. Like say I wait a minute then press the brakes again..it will dim. Also when all light are on, and I put on a turn signal, the gear selector light will dim to the speed of the signals flash. This has been happening since I got the car, thats how I know its not my battery setup, or any of the work I have done. The headlights are Sylvania Silverstars, but I dont see how that would be the problem. I have checked all grounds, and even cleaned the contacts on the tailight circuit boxes, trying to fix this problem. Also tightened the alt belt. Here are what I think it might be, or what im going to tackle next:

Do the Headlight big wire upgrade?
Go to the scrapyard and get a 4g or legend alt?
Run new alt power wire?
etc.?

Im kinda stumped as to what it is, so Im looking at it being my alt. This one was a used alt. put in before I got the car, because the other alt. died when my brother had the car. Also if I do get another alt from the jy and rebuild it, which one would be the best one to use in terms of easy of install/mods for it to work? The 4g, legen or other?

[MessyHonda]

nice.

[Hazwan]

it could be the regulator going out.

[mushroom_toy]

^Hmm didnt think about that. I guess Ill check it tomorrow after getting back from going and picking up my nice shiny polished dc strut bar. :)

[Civic Accord Honda]

battery box looks cool

[mushroom_toy]

Thanks..

[mushroom_toy]

Well guys picked up my DC Sports Strut bar today...and I really like it its pretty. On a performance note though, I dot feel a difference at all in the handling yet. Anyway though It was worth the $50 bucks. :)

[Cheeseburger]

looks good

[mushroom_toy]

Indeed it does, oh btw Frantik did you call guy about the header? Is your name Andrew, he said someone named Andrew sent him an email,m but he didnt have time to respond fast enough before i got the strut bar form him.

[frantik]

yeah i did end up calling him.. he is going to get me a shipping quote tomorrow :)

[mushroom_toy]

^Good good, yeah he is a real nice guy.

[Civic Accord Honda]

Cool cant beat that price too :D

id paint it tho i like the shiney idonized {SP?} red that geddys was b4 he pulled a CAH on it haha

[mushroom_toy]

^^EEEEEWWW NOOOOO it is staying completely stock and beautiful.


EDIT: I hate lots of color in an engine bay.

[Cheeseburger]

"slaps cah" for saying that

[86AccordLxi]

I picked my DC Sports bar for $35 back in the day ;) Didn't notice much of a difference, but the front end felt more composed, though the car was (even) more pushy.

Mine was that pimpy red color....polished looks better.

Alex

[mushroom_toy]

^I mean if I had gotten a color one I would have dealt with it.....but I am very glad I got a polished one. You got a good deal back in the day. I was gonna pick up his dc sports header too for $100 but didnt have the cash, so Frantik is talking to him about it. XD

hmm i really feel the difference with the justing strut bar

[knarg]

i definitely felt a difference with mine, not huge, but definitely stiffened the frame

[mushroom_toy]

^Well compared to the Vigor rear bar i installed, this isnt almost even feelable.

[knarg]

i can't wait to put on my ST bar :)

[frantik]

^Well compared to the Vigor rear bar i installed, this isnt almost even feelable.

yeah sway bars have much more impact on suspension.. strut bars more just stiffen the frame plus the front ones usually offer a chance to add more bling to the engine bay lol

[mushroom_toy]

^Yup and it does do that. I really like it for the price i PAID.even though i am broke again....it never ends,.

[MessyHonda]

damn $50? that pwns geddy's deal :D

haha...i only paid 40 for mine....and its red...






mushroom welcome to the dc club....even tho i need to grease mine since it starting to make noises.

[mushroom_toy]

DC Club lol. XD

[mushroom_toy]

^Yeah I did them a long time ago...but I added the 2.0s badge in place of my lxi one. Def. like it better.

[Hazwan]

Yeah what does S stands for? Slow? :D

[MessyHonda]

Lol too bad my car isnt so slow. Maybe in a straight line, but thats where the slowness ends.

And the 2.0s badge is from an older prelude.

[mushroom_toy]

Well when I get around to cutting the tree down tahats laying on top of the car the wheels are coming off of so I can get to the other side, I will. :)

[knarg]

there is a tree on top of the car? thats hilarious

[A18A]

look good there :) i like the color

[mushroom_toy]

Well after the last mountain run I did my tires are pretty much gone, so Its back to the stocks with brand new tires. :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/JubeiMunchCurry/ResizeWizard-3-62.jpg

Here how my tires on the other wheels look.
Before the mountain run and 1 week of driving the rears had about 40% Tread left, this is what they look like today when I took them off.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/JubeiMunchCurry/ResizeWizard-2-71.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/JubeiMunchCurry/ResizeWizard-1-85.jpg

Once again before 1 week and the run the front had about 70% tread left, this is what they look like now.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/JubeiMunchCurry/ResizeWizard-5-48.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/JubeiMunchCurry/ResizeWizard-4-57.jpg

Also my brake pads were brand new, but are now down to about 60%.

[A18A]

you must of really been pushing the car to its limits :thumbup:

[mushroom_toy]

^Just about every time I drive I do, well in the mountains that is. I dont play around. :)

[Civic Accord Honda]

u really ate out thos tires DAMN

[mushroom_toy]

^Of course.

[frantik]

damn :wtf:

[mushroom_toy]

^Mountain run. :) ftw or ftl depending on which way you look at it.

[knarg]

those tires aren't bald... they just have weight reduction!

[mushroom_toy]

^lol...and unsafe as well. XD

[MessyHonda]

Lol too bad my car isnt so slow. Maybe in a straight line, but thats where the slowness ends.

And the 2.0s badge is from an older prelude.



lol...that is what you think.....i hope you have driven fast cars... my friend vr6 smokes the shit out me...and its an auto.

[mushroom_toy]

lol...that is what you think.....i hope you have driven fast cars... my friend vr6 smokes the shit out me...and its an auto.

In a straight line. Probably. Also what year model? The VR6s engines were based on inline 6s, if you didnt know that. ANd Its also .8L HIGHER THAN OUT CAR! No shit its gonna be faster in a straight line, like compaing apples and oranges, its almost a 3 liter. And that is based on old models, then newer models are 2.9l or up i believe.

Anyway I didnt say my car was straight in a fast line.

well his vr6 is is a 2.8 or something with like 240hp....my car is better than a stock 3gee and even with suspension some 2nd gen tegs around here still have better suspensions because i saw this guy take an exit at least at 70mph...i can only take it at like 50 with the wheels squealing. so thats why i ordered sway bars.

If you dont have a rear bar that could be the reason, but besides that I dont see what the prob. is. I can corner fast and I have no problems. I did when my tires were slick though. Maybe its just because im used to driving in the mountains my whole life. My suspension is pretty much stock, besides vigor bar and endlinks, rear strut tower bar, front strut tower bar.

i do have a rear stock sway bar. but i noticed that the lx-i is a bit heavyer than my dx because on my dx its lighter with a rear sway bar and it corners a bit better...but then its slow on the straights. i had a altima try to pass me yesterday....i gave my car a good 2nd gear pull...but the guy was still behind me. oh well....i need a damn engine rebuild with like 11:1 compression and being able to rev to like 8k....something like 150whp.

[mushroom_toy]

Oh well my turbo plans are still in the making. Im just gatheirng parts at this point. How good do you do against d--series hondas? Even with an auto I can rape d series gutted hatches.

bumm bump bump it up.

well i keep up with like the 2nd gen tegs...b18s 140crank horsepower. i dont mess with D series anymore since its just a waste of gas for me. next is the H-series that il hope to be keeping up with.

[mushroom_toy]

^Nice. Just watch out for minivans. o.0

[mushroom_toy]

Guys after inspection of the wheels on that mr2 im gonna get soon. They are MSW Wheels. Produced by O.Z. They were use on older bmws, vws, and some mr2s, so fitment shouldnt be a problem now that I know this.

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/msw/msw.jsp

[86AccordLxi]

What kind of tires are those that you burned through?

Alex

[2oodoor]

some of those roads up there, the best squirrely ones are that hard rock imbedded asphalt. You will eat up some tires if you are driving like a rabid squirrel :kekeke:
I like the ones that follow the rivers, plenty of stop off places.

If those wheels are not 15" you wont be able to upgrade the brakes, they wont clear the caliper. Not a big deal though.

[mushroom_toy]

Alex

They were crappy Futura Super Sport GLH IIs, but they were on the wheels when I got them, so I only replaced fornt when I needed, they handled good until they were slick.

Yeah theyre 14s, but I dont car about doing a huge brake upgrade, the car stops fine enough for me righ now.

[86AccordLxi]

Get some real tires, and then maybe let's talk about awesomesauce handling.

Shitty tires= shitty handling.

Pick up some rs2's or azenis and see how that works out.

Alex

[mushroom_toy]

^Have a pair of falkens for some 14s, but probably not going on these wheels, might go on the basketweaves.

How was the hub fitment? Is it close to honda hub size, or is it a lot bigger? Do you have a lot of vibration from the bmw wheels if it is bigger, and not hubcentric?

[Bones]

Actually .. now that y'all mention it, I've never thought to check.

When I mount up a wheel, I tighten each lug by hand, working my way around several times before ever breaking out a lug wrench. That way nothing gets cranked down off center. One of my wheels is a little bit bent on the inside edge too, but I've never had any noticable wobble or shimmy from the wheels.

If the wheel is balanced correctly you won't have a problem. One of my wheels is bent and is balanced and everything is fine.

[mushroom_toy]

If the wheel is balanced correctly you won't have a problem. One of my wheels is bent and is balanced and everything is fine.

That is the wrong assumption. :) Non Hubcentric wheels balanced or not will usually make a difference, even if it is so slight you cant feel it. With stocks on my ride is much smoother and less jarring, but with the nonhubcentric paoline alloys I have, i get a rougher ride. Also considering the tire profile is smaller.

Many hubcentric rims do NOT use the conical tapered lugnuts. My Toyotas do not. The lugs end up being a sleeve that fits in the rim's hole. The rim is held to the hub by only a clamping force.

And if I do not an aftermarket (non-hubcentric) rim, I will get a bad shimmy at speeds above 60mph. What is funny, is I can "fix" it by retorquing the rims on or taking them off and do anything with them, but within 5-10 miles of driving, it's back.

That tells me the rim is moving, even if so very slightly.
-From SCCAForums.com

Anyway though if the mesh wheels i get are a bigger hubbore, guess ill look for some hub rings, to maybe fix it, cause i dont want any wobble, or the slightest bit of vibration.

[mushroom_toy]

Went on a mountain run with the EfSquad this past Saturday, and here are a few pics, unfortunately, I didn't take any pics so these are all I have with my car in it at this time. :(

Ooooh mountain run, that looks like fun!!

[mushroom_toy]

Yup my 4th one this year. Had to put on a new set of rear tires before I went....Falkens that I have suck, theyre so soft. They're not too bad but, i actually like my Fuzion Hris in the front better than the Falkens in the rear.

[speedpenguin]

Oh that's awesome. Look at all the little Civics!

Have you had an alignment done? If your toe is off it can seriously fuck your tires. I know it's so obvious it probably didn't need to be asked, but hey.

[2oodoor]

great camera! I dint get to see the mountains this fall , looks like the leaves are almost done already. Great scenery anyway..
hanging around a bunch of Civics:stick:
j/k

[mushroom_toy]

Btw I didnt take those pics lol. But yeah it was a very fun day. I was usually in front or leading, so Thats why im barely in any pics lol.

Ok so here is some info.

Pros: They were free, they are the most gorgeous wheels ever, they fit and are same lug pattern.

Cons: Tires are all bad, Theyre still pretty dirty, so i need to deep clean them lol, 2 Have small bends in the back sides of them (they hold air thuogh, and roll straight), I need new centercaps, Unfortunately the hub size on the wheels is a fraction smaller than the Honda hub size if you can see in the pic, so Ill have to get them bored out a tiny tiny bit, and I thnk two of them need to be refinished or at least the lip polished.

Besides that they are truly wheels that are works of art anfd I love them.

Oh yeah also they are MSW Wheels made By O.Z they are 4x100 6x14 with a 38 offset.

Cheers.

[mushroom_toy]

Oh yeah heres the last 3.

Im more than likely gonna wait and get the wheels fixed and refinished, and these will be amazing when my suspension is done. I LOVE THEM!!

[mushroom_toy]

You people better comment, I spent a looooong time getting these wheels lol.

[speedpenguin]

So ya finally got them, huh?

Take some glamour shots! It's hard to say what they really look like without seeing them on the car.

[mushroom_toy]

They will be on the car after they get redone which probably wont be for a while lol.

[speedpenguin]

Well at least you got the ball rolling!

[mushroom_toy]

Lol. Yup

[mushroom_toy]

Just felt like taking some fall pics today so here they are. Nothing done except sticker removed and another sticker added. Cheers.

lol.......i dont think it will ever get dropped...dude...even my dx is dropped and i dont think i have driven it more than 500 miles this year...

[mushroom_toy]

It will get dropped maybe sooner than ya think lol. Im working out a deal on a set of integra coilovers so well see. Custom suspension ftw lol.

As for the paintjob art.....it wont get painted till way after my engine is rebuilt and turboed...so a long way down the line.

[MessyHonda]

if you are not going to lower it at least get the front sway bar also(st)...i just installed mine...and man what a difference....i need sticker tires now.

[knarg]

i don't have the st front, but the st rear did make a big difference for me

all i need to finish up my suspension is a rear strut brace and the st front sway

[MessyHonda]

i don't have the st front, but the st rear did make a big difference for me

front is easy...i got it in all by my self in a hour..hardest part was aligning the bushings and making sure they had plenty of grease because i didnt want them to make noises.

[mushroom_toy]

EH Ill leave my front until i find another bar that will work without paing an arma and a leg for it.

[mushroom_toy]

Bump, gonna replace my cam seal tomorrow and fix the leak i created lol. ill let yall know how it goes and post some pics when im done.

[2oodoor]

Hey, a little known "secret" by some... if you have windows xp, there is a movie maker program that you can use to make slideshows with your pictures. It is not listed under the programs menu for some reason. You go to windows explorer, program files, it is there. It looks like a pretty cool toy esp if you have a lot of pictures.

[mushroom_toy]

^Its...ok, But unless you do a ton of editing you can tell a movie maker slideshow or movie form a pinaccle 9, etc etc. lol.

[knarg]

front is easy...i got it in all by my self in a hour..hardest part was aligning the bushings and making sure they had plenty of grease because i didnt want them to make noises.

my rear ST doesn't make much noise, if any -- but the end links do on occasion pop into and out of place... usually that only happens when the suspension has been unloaded when its jacked off the ground.

[mushroom_toy]

If you can find a surface that is stable at higher elevation just sit it on there. I.e. maybe porch railing.

On another not anyoen know how to check timing without a timeing light? I think when I changed my seal I might have accidently retarted my timing a little. My powerband moved 0.o....It feels faster....just different.

[mushroom_toy]

Ok well guys some bad news....got a littel rust. Only a time bit on my car period, which hopefully I will take care of tomorrow, but the rear bumper support is toast, im gonna try to sand it and primer and paint, but it may be too far gone.

ekk :X

good look with the repairs man

btw how the hell did u get that suport off all i could get off his my bumper cover lol

[mushroom_toy]

Theres 2 bolts on either side under the car lol that bolt to the frame. you have to take the 2 off under the car on either side, and the rear bumper with cover just slides right off.

[Catalyst]

Ooof Man I would just run to the nearest pick n pull and grab a new non-rusty support, that one needs alot of work. :wave:

[Cheeseburger]

yeah just head out to the j/y and get one that dosnt need that much work.

[A18A]

at least thats replaceable without having to cut & weld anything lol

[mushroom_toy]

Yeah unfortunately cant fix the rust today its windy as crap outside so no easy way to spray paint. Also unfortunately I dont have the money for a bumper support right now lol, or else I would already be at the Junkyard. XD

[labeledsk8r]

Thanks lol.

On another not anyoen know how to check timing without a timeing light? I think when I changed my seal I might have accidently retarted my timing a little. My powerband moved 0.o....It feels faster....just different.

theres really no way to check it, you can do it by ear by playing with the dizzy but i dont think thats a good fix. if you want i have a craftsman timeing light that has been hardly used that i will sell for cheep if your interested

[mushroom_toy]

Eh I dont have any money lol. Its running good, I just want to make sure my timing is right, I think I might have retarted it when I changed my cam seal, because my powerband changed, and my car feels faster...

[2oodoor]

three things you do not want>>> preignition (pinging), high draw starting(acts just like a half dead battery) dieseling (continues to run after you shut it off)
all of those are caused by over advanced ign timing>>>
retarded timing will just make you run rich, sluggish, and powerband moves up the rpm scale a bit (sometimes overheating can be caused by either over or under advanced)
Take all of that into consideration when you do this, just loosen up the dizzy and let the car idle.. note the position of the bolts in reference to the slotted opening(s).. move the dizzy in the direction of advancing . Move it a little at a time and test drive it, you will notice immediatly a crispier response to the throttle, but... look for any of the symtoms in the first paragraph, if any of those exist you need to retard it just a tiny bit until it stops those symptoms.
It is really not that hard, I know it is scary but if you pay close attention to having NO AUDIBLE preignition.. you will fine. If you do have pinging, you can use premium fuel as long as it is not constant pinging.. reap the benefits of using less throttle opening to obtain rpm and power.
Preignition will burn a hole in your pistons, damage head, head gaskets, valves, valve seats.... Unless you run WOT all the time you should be ok, I have not see a Honda yet that did not like a wee bit more ign advance than factory specs.

[mushroom_toy]

Well I think mine is retarted then, cause my powerband moved a bit.

[mushroom_toy]

Well guys got a good bit of work done yesterday and today. I still have two small rust spots under neath the taillight skin bottoms, but I can take care of them with the bumper on, so Im not fooling with them till maybe next week. Here are pics of some miracle goop that I bought called rust converter....I have to say I am amazed and it worked great. Afterwards I primered and painted for now. Hopefully this will last until way on down the road till I get my car painted. I decided to salvage my bumper as well until I get some money to get a new one. It should hold up for a long time to come though now. Sure does look like it though! ON TO THE PICS...UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE (COUGH cHEESE COUGH) WHO LIKE TO KEEP PEOPLE IN MISERY!

The miracel stuff:

omg, superman x ray vison, dude you need to do some pictures of Jenifer Garner. no but seriously.. :wave:
that was wicked cool ..
that was some serious rust, I dont know how you will keep the trunk striker adjusted, mine isnt even rusted and it keeps going out of wack, I bend it back.. lol
WTF is up with that muffler, did it rust that fast, I thought you just put it on less than a year ago.
Something else that works miracles on rust, is a spray can called ONE STEP, it turns surface rust into primer, I have used it with great success on other cars.NICE WORK dude.

[mushroom_toy]

Appreciate it man. Yeah the muffler come off another car before I got it and that was where the hangar was..Stupid rust lol. Oh well dont really care about that part that much as my pre pipe after the cat is rusted at the flange and has an eraser size hole in it so I have an exhaust leak now. Doh. Oh and on my car the striker area is not rusted just that little piece right before it, I ripped all of the brittle medal from that area so only metal that is stable is there, the rust didnt get to the striker area thank god. Mine stays in place fine lol. Yeah I saw the spray stuff but this was 2 bucks cheaper at the parts store and I like the idea of brushing it on since I didnt want it to get everywhere since this stuff discolors regular paint.Thanks for the props man we really got to meet up someday, I want to see your car. XD

im must be just posting so the pages dont load up next time

[labeledsk8r]

the rust converter crap is some good stuff for a cheep quick fix (not for long term) i just did the entire underbody of my cutty with a spray can version then hit it with 2 coats of flat black to try and lengthen the life of my rusting underbody lol

[mushroom_toy]

^Actually I think it might be cheaper and more long erm that a quick fix lol. I did sand away what rust I could on the car, then after the converter did 2 coats primer and 2 coats color. Well see I guess.

well yeah i guess on some aplications... your rust wasnt that bad.. i think its only a temp fix for my cutlass... lol it will slow the rust way down though. it just really matters how far gone it is before you catch it. wich you cought it early in its stages

[2oodoor]

ok now It looks like Im taliking about the work...not the case
The special photos ! hell I never saw anything quite like it before, I must be the only one. those were cool.
