here's the part number for mevotech should be a nice tight press-fit Attachment 10184
I haven't studied the control arm yet but which way does the ball joint go in picture one or picture two.

Edit picture one is the correct positionAttachment 10187
Yes ill take the third pic for 50$ Alex!
Its a ball joint used on lots of Honda/Acura type cars according to the Summit page so makes sense to use a part you could get anywhere.
I just ordered the same rear set but of control arms
FYI. I tried ordering some Mevotech control arms from Summit. They list them on their site, but they don't stock them. Once you order, they refer the order over to Mevotech for fulfillment. Basically, they're always on back order, but they don't tell you this until AFTER you pay for the order. Then you get to wait...
They were in stock on rockauto, at least a couple weeks ago... just don't get the ball joints smh
Time for a long-overdue update. winter is basically Over and it's time for me to get to work on this thing. Recap I acquired a Sei rear disc conversion. Several days before ready to do the installation. a chain reactions of breakdowns went down. Some what, completely making me lose interest. as multiple radiators and alternators going out. 3 out of 4 tires getting destroyed. So I just been kind of laying low taking it easy saving little Parts here in there. More updates will be coming real soon

So I've been staying pretty busy making B18 swap harness OBD1 harnesses, coil on plug harnesses and fuel pump relay kits to try to keep me motivated.

The brakes look exciting!
See, nobody here cares about turbos or coil on plug here, at 3geez we only care about rear disk brakes.
Your harnesses looks too similar to the one I am going to have to make for my buddy that's going from an obd2 b18 engine harness to an obd0 car, to an obd1 ecu. When does a mfer just go standalone?
I forgot to mention that my cheap dual eBay half size radiator finally went out. I had pretty good luck with it so we're going to try this cheap eBay triple core one now. With the OBD1 a12 reverse-trigger fan relay bypassing the fan control timer and fan switch. Attachment 10759

That Florida water eats radiators.
With rads you want Aluminum thats a plus but the big thing is 1.250" tubes. Better heat transfer and stronger to run more pressure if you have too.
That fan deal looks really trick. Is it a PWM controller? There usually really expensive.
On the fan my demon 2 Neptune RTP ECU software there's fan radiator control option it allows me to set the temperature I want the fans to come on and off. With pin A12 of the OBD1 FANC acts as a ground trigger. And that goes to a reversed ground trigger relay setup
Yeah its easier on relays to switch the ground and less electrical noise with DC.

Nolathane nice! you got them here stateside?
Your gonna like that negative camber with those arms!
Yeah I got the bushings from eBay. Nolathane REV042.0020 Front Control Arm Bushing; Fits Honda Prelude 83-87 | eBay

Curious how those bushing work and if you reuse the long metal sleeve with the stock bolt etc?
Fill us in when your done with it.
Yes I first pushed out the long metal sleeved knocked out both ends of each bushing. The new bushings have to be cut down approximately half inch each side for them to completely go into the control arm. And then reinserted the metal sleeve

Those bushings are tricky. I've bugged up more than my share trying to install them.
