fredefhatch

Well today i went to the junkyard and bought a brake master cylinder from a da and also the 4040 prop valve i also got lucky and found rear tokico illumina struts with eibach lowering springs i will post pics as soon as i finish rebuilding the shocks

btw anyone know if i need the da brake booster and anyone have any suggestions on what should iu make my front suspension to go well with the illuminas and eibach

fredefhatch

just some goodies i picked up at the junkyard last week going back today to get the rear lcas and sway bar from a si hatch i found last time

fredefhatch

i recently installed my suspension the rears were tokico illuminas with the eibach springs but the springs did not rly make it go to as low as i wanted on the front i put some kyb gr2 struts and it was lowered on some no name coilovers which i got very cheap the ride isnt really bouncy at all, i still have not installed my da9 master cylinder 4040 prop valve and brake booster hopefully next weekend other than that i have been occupied with school and friends ek coupe who blew his engine and another friend purchased a ek hatch with a lsvtec which needed work so i have been helping them.
ill post pics of my hatch tomorrow

ChadB

IT's getting there...

fredefhatch

well i havent updated cause im kinda lazy to but small update:
lowered the car as much as i can with the cheap coilovers rides good and not slammed
started having a clutch regulator problem and then the start switch above the clutch pedal fixed that and my clutch took a **** on me after 132,000 miles so now i have to buy a new clutch

fredefhatch

i have not updated but i have been working on the car doing some things and getting creative.


si tranny i picked up primed no pictures of the after


benen tow hook replicas made by my dad but out of 1/2inch aluminum


tokico blues i found at the junkyard in great condition


and extended oem top hats made by my dad


a oem mint condition car covered that i thought was for a 4th gen but ended up being for a 3rd gen still worth alot more then for what i picked it up for


and a recent picture of the car i have yet to buff it because i dont have the appropriate tools

and now a questions if anyone could answer to do my 5 speed tranny swap do i need different axles or si hubs?

kra95teg

your going to need a few parts to take care of that. check out innovatives website. they should have all the info you need.

fredefhatch

well the tranny is from a ef si just wondering the axles and the hubs

knuttveiten

maybe axles but not hubs.

fredefhatch

just came back from the junkyard and found some 1990 prelude fog lights lets see if i can get them mounted

fredefhatch

anyone have a recommendation for what hids i should put in the car?

b20_EM1

Damn good find on the tokico's I'd never find a set at the junkyards I go to... keep it up

fredefhatch

thank you

b20_EM1

Get the ebay brand (cheapest 33.00 bucks) they are all the same, I use to sell them. I recommended getting a 5k pure white, Anything above that is too blue in my opinion.

Beeean

All you need to do your 5 speed swap is the tranny. Your axles will work and so will your hubs. However, if you start making more power (with a swap or whatever) you will need to change out your hubs to DX or Si hubs. (std come with 23 spline hubs while everything else is 26 spline)

fredefhatch

ok cool thx all i have right now is a tranny ill prob just end up doing da front brakes

Looks nice and clean.

fredefhatch

well im installing 1990 prelude fog lights but i was wondering if anyone had a diagram of how to install the fog lights or suggestions on how to connect to the fuse box

TheBob

I believe there should be a diagram on the inside of the bumper to show where to cut for fog lights
