nice build!

 

Thanks bud, slowly but surely.

Yeah I do too! That is a good plan right :bang:


So I decided to raise my car up a bit. These roads around there are pretty bad and I was bottoming out my suspension everyday and not to mention the ride quality had gone down so it was time to go up. I don't have a low profile jack so its a pain in the *** to jack up my car when I need to. I was scraping everytime I left my driveway and even ripped out 1 mudguard! I put it back today lol.

I went up 1 1/2 inch at first but then it was too high so I lowered it again 3/4th of an inch. I'm happy with where that is looks/height wise.

Upon inspection I apparently was having slight clearance issues too lol.





This is where I started at.



So this is why there would be a clinging noise when I turned a lot huh?




Brake line was touching the axles :nervy:

Fixed :-)




I ended up this high lol.




Back down a bit it went.



I did the front left too but that ended up being too low still. I'm raising that an inch. I have to do the rears too but not bad for now..

I also managed to hit 38MPG mainly street driving and not babying it 453/12.1

 

38mpg ftw! i saw you post that on FB

 

Some shots I took :-) Excuse the dirty carpet.

 

damn son. looks nice. Just ordered some parts for my crx to get race ready for IA?

 

Sweet. For next week? Or IA2011? Btw, my front speakers dont work so dont be jealous of my rear ones!

 

can't wait to see this car finished

 

looking good dude. Definitely sounds like you have a vaccum leak somewhere on the intake manifold. Check all the ports and see where the leak is. Once you plug it you will most likely have to raise the idle back to where it was before.

 

Won't be for a few years but it will happen.
Yeah. I def think its a vacuum leak as well. I need to clean my FITV and IACV and go from there.

I went to Honda and got those bolts but they didn't have the nuts in stock and I didn't want to order them so I need to go to Home Depot and pick some up.

 

I got tons of oem fresh hardware f*** Home Depot lol. Let me know what you need and Ill get it together for you.

 

Thats whats up! 2 nuts for these



You wouldn't happen to have a nut similar to this would you?


Also check out my idle when its running good.

 

Yeah I got all of that. Ill bring some stuff with me to work tomorrow if you wanna stop by quick. Ill be there till 6

Idle looks low, once you fix the vac leak and reset the idle youll be g2g

 

Ah sweet. I'll stop by around 5 prob then. The longer I sit in traffic the higher it idles so it def seems like a leak. Theres been times where it would idle at 3k

You're going to NY before Sunday right?

 

Awesome build thread man, you've made great progress

 

haha yeah I wish I wasn't so lazy and broke, I'd get a lot more done.


Last night I installed my exhaust hardware, vc hardware and raised the rear suspension. It rides a bit nicer but its not too significant. It takes corners better as well, not sure why but yeah!

I have to get a job and buy me a jack so that I can get everything all even haha. I was corner weighed but when I have a passenger it throws it off so since its my daily I'll just get it mostly even.

I'm confident I'll land a job next weekend but we'll see.

 

just came across this, i didnt read all the way through, but if you ended up swapping out the manual rack for the ps setup, id buy the manual rack!

car looks good though man, im diggin the hubcaps!

 

Thanks bro. I have an Si so it has a PS rack looped. I never had a manual rack.

 

Put some work on this thing for once tonight lol. Pics tomorrow probably. Stay tuned.

 

gotta update with the detailed car pics!

 

I didn't take pictures at the meet I went to and Im not sure anyone did either. Im working out the details for getting my door fixed though :-) .

Really looking forward to putting some work over the winter as cold as it may be.

 

dude i looked at those pics you posted earlier after a wash i believe and your car is lookin really good man. the interior is on point! i saw wheels and a nice somethin on the front and your golden

 

I know right bro! My car is on the grind everyday so its goin to be full of pollen and the bumper is going to get trashed with bugs but other than that the ride is mint. I was thinking of the same thing. Wheels and get some hardware for my lip so that it mounts right and it would help a lot. I'd get a better lip but oem is nice for a daily. Yeah thanks man. The interior really is mint, I can't complain. The carpet is fresh and the panels are dark and the cloth is clean. I just need a steering wheel but I don't feel like rerouting cruise control. I need an oem shifter too, that would be nice since my shifter feels and looks bad. Definitely a better deck too and get my front speakers to work.

Door panels and other panels vibrate, I would like to remove everything and put it back so that it lines up and stops vibrating.

 

this build is pretty sweet! but i gotta ask what ever happened with the dent?

 

Looks awesome, I am in the process of restoring my 92 EH3 too.

I have the oem shifter from my car, if you need it pm me.

Tim

 

Thx! Yeah I collected his info and I just have to start a small claims suit as soon as I get a job. Can't even afford the fee haha
