thanks a lot . countless hours have been spent under in and around this thing im hoping i dont let you honda techers down this year hopefully ill have her painted by late spring
im lookin into getting my konis revalved or just buying new ones lol maybe something thats more suitable for a more agressive track/road racing platform i need something that can take potholes a little better and something i can ride slammed and not compensate to much handling characteristics , i love riding lowered but every time i lower my car it handles like **** on the twistys

eklum

i took pictures of the dif if you want specific shots or measurements let me know

That's a sick tunnel.

so i been having problems with second gear since i got the tranny put on steady grinding when i shift at high revs. really annoying.
any who so i did some research and found a lot of different threads on the subject of which gear oil to choose and i read a lot of pos. and negative feedback on just about every gear oil
i ended up choosing redline lightwieght shock proof
i drained and started filling until the new stuff came out in an attempt to flush a little bit put in the reccomended amount of quarts took it for a spin and wallaa.
my second gear isnt racing fast shifting smooth but its def. not grinding at all
so heres my offical vouch for that. Redline Lightwieght shock proof is expensive as **** but i think it will pay for its self as time goes by ...
ill do a follow up after like 3k miles.. but so far so good.

eklum

i hate posting so much but..

+69.16$ just ordered a set of Wicked Tuning Rear Toe arms i was gunna go with the more expensive spherical bushing PWJDM but i decided to save the $120 difference and go with the cheapest one i could find mostly due tome needing the part asap because my tires wear at avery alarming rate and there is a very violent vibration coming from the rear after speeds of 50 mph me and a few friends came to the conclusion using the excessive tire wear as evidence that may be the reason for the vibration -
Good news i been working at my new job so part updates will be coming every week im trying to get my **** togather before wekfest in febuary so i should be ordering lots of goodies so stay tuned for updates! thanks for stopping by!

total:
$6565.66

damn no love on my photoshoot!?! lol ima have to tell my photographer to do a better job next time.. ha!
so i have been encountering a really violent vibration in my rear end after speeds of 60mph or so i replaced my toe arms with adjustable arms and i just got done installing rear trailing arm bushings as mine were shot... i mean they were ripped and disconnected ... having never done this before it took me a good while to get my ***** up and do it (i was gunna take it to a shop but they wanted 350-500$ because its 4wd its supposedly harder ( bullshit ) )

any ways. so i saw this video..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPTDzrxqoOo

n i was like theres no reason i cant just do this all with hand tools i was concerned about how long this would take and what it would take to do by your self without the special tool that all you honda techers are always talking about.. YOU DONT NEED ****!
Heres the tools i used.
wrench / rachet combo.
12mm(brake line secure bolts)
14mm (upper camber arm , rear toe arm bolts)
17mm(Rear trailing arm bushing bolts)
19mm(Lugnuts)

Step1::Loosen lugnuts, Jack up car , SECURE YOUR CAR WITH JACKSTANDS OR BRICKS

Step2 ::
Disconnect rear toe arms


your gunna need to jack up your TA to get the bolt attached to the toe on the TA side

Step 3:: disconnect camber arm



Step 4::disconnect the brake lines from the trailing arms ( dont open the line just take the bolts off the trailing arm so you dont damage them and their out of the way..)


Step 5::disconnect the RTA bushing bolts

Step 6:: get your hammer and hammer out teh old bushings


heres what was left of my existing bushing lol!

Step 7:: ( this isnt recommended) i had to grind down a lil bit of the new bushings metal since i wasnt using a tool i made a little groove to make it slide in easier
step 8:: allign your bushing making sure its the same angle as the old one ( this step is kinda stupid as most of us have lowered vehicles your going to want a little angle on your bushing) what i did was had it off to the side a little bit to compensate for the lowered hieght and a way to check to see if your stressing your bushing is kinda tedious but hey it pays to have your **** perfect.. . i jacked up the RTA and saw how stressed it was after it was at the hieght it would be traveling and made it so it would ride straight once on the ground i know this is kinda confusing and im a little bit drunk.. but hopefuly my \pictures help..


step9:: hammer in your bushing until it is alligned with the little grey line ( if your new bushings has them )

Step 10 : jack up the arm and since we're having our bushing sitting sideways getting the bolt in is a little difficult
Step 11:: tighten the 17mm bolts until your bushing is secure..
step 12 reconnect all arms and tightnen to spec.. pretty much everything is at about 50 ft lbs torque.
step 13:: test drive and enjoy
