Alright so I am going to wait to make sure these ball joints fit this time. curious if the other Rockauto brands fit or if Mevotech was just selling the wrong balljoint...

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
1989 Honda Accord LX-i
B18c1 swap since 7/2011

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.

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?
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.

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