i guess if you get lucky, you get lucky. i don't myself prefer the $500 suspension. most of the time its for looks rather than people using it for what its for. racing. i guess if you want a low ride, they are fine. but, there are stories of cheap coilovers breaking while driving. the sleeves that is. they can crack causing you to lose control of the car. but, i guess if you have decent roads, and don't use the car for off roading or hill hopping you'd be ok. just personal preferance i guess. l like a mildly lowered car with springs. they tend to ride a little better.

You just described my car to a T. stock struts and using skunk2 lowering springs droped the car between 1.5 and 2 inches all around have tires are slightly tucked and the car handles like a champ. not to much body roll but then again i aint taken corners at 60mph i leave that to the other car.

10 is IAT: sensor may be bad on the new manifold? wiring? poor connection?

16 is Fuel Injector: might have a bad ring seal, or might be leaking? are you getting a signal (power) to all 4 injectors?
actually i meant 6, i fixed the tps problem, might just be a bad connection(wires switched) because i took another 6 hours to resolder all the connections looking for a split wire. next thing ill check is the signal to the injectors. could it just be 1 injector going bad, that is leading me to the check engine and poor performance? i replaced the seals on the injectors btw cause i caught some leaks

6 Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT Sensor)
10 Intake Air Temperature (IAT Sensor)
16 Fuel Injector

the other top 2 codes dont lead to the engine bogging?

alright so i managed to fix my bogging issue, it was some wiring(flipped positions) and it cured the bogging, but now it still shows check engine for code 16.

how do i test a fuel injector? btw all the injectors are getting power through the wiring.

Default Re: ___||SOHC Squad||___

can anyone in the squad help me out? Im getting a carbon fiber bucket seat (bride style kind of) and i will have no need for my stupid seatbelts that are in the doors. So since i have a 88 hatch donor (with seatbelts in the b-pillar), i was wondering if i could swap out the 91 doors for 88 doors and keep my 91 door panels. Also i need to know if the windows will work for either door cause i dont want to retint the 88 windows. If anyone has knowledge on this or can point me in the right direction please help me out. i tried in the ef tech forums but 90% of the ppl there are douches.

all i can say is to try it. alot of those parts are interchangeable between years, some not at all. i'd say try it, and find out. especially if you have access to the donor car, know what i mean?

Well I got my seat today, its super comfy and it fits soo snug. Its like a cheap status racing seat but for the price i couldnt pass it up. Only downside to it is its blue and the color scheme in my car is black, grey and a tiny bit of red lol. Gonna make some custom mounts on my stock seat rails and see where that gets me, ill post some pictures soon.

yeah i know what you mean, another reason i want to do it is cause the seat belts get snagged in the door and bend out the outside of the door...super gay. so im slapping the 88 doors on as soon as i get harnesses. The donor car is in my car port, always gotta have a donor car lol

all i can say is the 88 crx doors wont fit the 90-91 crx doors, the grooves where the doors sit into the rear quarter dont match

but i really dont know aobut hatches

even the jdm rear quarter glass is year specified. 88-89(hatch) has its own and 90-91 has its own rear quarter glass. its not just that b pillar molding that is different. imo
