for the passed few weeks i had been having an issue with a bog around 3500rpms, so i went on a rampage, first i replaced the tps, was still doing it. then i replaced the igniter in the dizzy and it was still acting up.. so the next day i changed cap, rotor, and plugs and for ***** and giggles did a compression test. she seems pretty solid all across and the car runs perfect now, even calibrated the tps and shes on point..

the sticker is in memory of my old boss and buddy who passed away in his DA9 on his way home from tuning a clients car..

LittleWing

Very clean set-up. I've always been a fan of Aztec Green. Great job! Compression test looks really healthy too

Jonathan Teeter

nice looking teg, is that jdm front?

slowDB1

i kinda wish i had the jdm fenders for the side markers.. lol


ordered a crap load of parts yesterday, but don't feel like revealing what until they come

slowDB1

today was an absolute **** show, this colorado cars suspension is rusty as ****, the bolt snapped for for a camber arm so thats stuck, the welds snapped that hold the threaded part for one of the lower control arm bolts, so that is stuck as well.. the front came apart easy, the right rear came apart easy, but the left rear ughhhh... i also ripped out all the abs sensors, and started taking it apart in the front to do an abs delete, cuz well i hate how it looks, and i hate abs..

slowDB1

oldschoolmaster

Gotta love the south where no rust exist unless on shrimp boat lol
Good luck on northern cars

slowDB1

well ups and fedex came today, and i ended up cutting those bolts out, but now the new ones won't freaking go in either!! so i got 3 corners buttoned up. but gonna step back and ponder what to do about this left rear which has been nothing but a pain in my ***..

EE2bitsk

hell yes. I love those wheels.

rusty bolts are such a bitch when it comes to suspension. i fought with mine for a week straight almost, drilling and cutting etc... when i finally won the battle, i bought all new bolts etc.. from honda and coated the crap out of them with antiseeze. being in texas, you shouldnt need to take that extra step when you get the new stuff on. jealous....lol

slowDB1

yea plus the new bolts are stainless.. so it should be good to go, once i eventually get it back together, think i might just replace that left side trailing arm

slowDB1

i managed to get her all together today, no settings have been changed, so camber and ride height are still off, but here she sits now. also got some goodies coming tomorrow from ICB

B serious

SS bolts are not strong enough for suspension use. I think ph-7 ones are still not as strong as the OE class 10.9's.

Nice car though.

^ Ya I was a little curious about that. Those are some of the few bolts I would not be dressing up. Car looks great though.

JDMswagSerf

Looks good.

slowDB1

ive ran these bolts before through auto-cross and a few track days at the road course.. never had an issue with them.. if they were unsafe i don't think they'd sell them

slowDB1

lol thanks for clearing that up.. i didn't think they would sell weak bolts for suspension.. i drove the car for the first time since being worked on, and removed some of the rear camber first.. shes a tad rough but oh well lol..
