napa ftw had them for 2.5 years no problems and then replaced them with crapzone and they were done in a week...

2nd page really? come on guys step it up

 

bump for da's... cause you know... they're awesome n stuff

 

Juda I ran axles from a a on my car forever at 400hp and never had and issue..I cracked the boot once and just returned it...I did end up with new aftermarket axles but that was just because I got a crazy deal

And yes they do make koni for the da's...I spoke with a vendor and there in the magazine

 

I have gone through 5 axles in less than 4 years...all from auto zone...so I have learned m y lesson and never getting another axle from them again (new or refurb)...I have the worst vibration ever on my driver side (the one that keeps going) and the boot rips extremely easy...I am not sure why but they are just friggin junk...deff going to try napa out...thx for the heads up!

 

I had an axle blow up a couple weeks ago. However, I don't have money to buy something different so I just went and had it replaced. They vibrate a little during hard acceleration but I deal with it for now.
edit- advance auto gsp axles

 

in my hatch (b18 swap) i have brand new axles from advance auto. they were new just a couple months ago and BOTH are shot already. both ripped the outter boots in the same spot in the same way and i have a nasty *** vibration now it sucks.

 

Almost worth it just to go with OEM axles...don't know what the hell works anymore...things are made to fail and their junk if you buy them from an auto parts store

 

i guess i lucked out with my axles... pretty sure they're a'zone... been going for over a year

 

yea unless you spend 500 bucks on a set of axles

 

I got my axles new for $130 lol..there enjo axles good for 500hp...This dude I know was building a car but started selling everything and had these axles laying around for like 2 years...and he just wanted them gone..He paid $1000 for them LMAO..They work great though

 

close to the shore at san antonio lake

 

500 bux for a set of axles is expensive when you think about it but I would rather spend 500 bux now for a set of axles that lasts me many years than having to keep spending 150 bux per axle to get it replaced everytime something goes wrong with the damn thing ;-)

 

yea they pull really hard.As for the Vtec yea that hoe is STUPID loud but i like it tho. got mine with 80k nd around 100k now also still running strong

 

Deff man...i got mine in back in March of 2008 and it is probably the best running engine I have had in all of my honda experiences...I have had some little issues here and there like with the vtec solenoid but minor stuff that was easily fixed but other than that, a great cheap investment no doubt ;-)

I remember one of the first outings I had once i got the b16 I went up against a BB2 and actually pulled on the darn thing, and over the quarter mile beat him...and this was without a tune up! DA's FTW baby :-D

 

B16 and pulls hard don't belong in the same sentence

I spent $400 on my Avid stage 2's a few years back. Were great up until last year when my OBX LSD ate one. Now I'm rocking Advanced axles.

 

my car's idling is pissing me off, it jumps from 1-2k until its warmed up, then it just drops down to normal, it takes a long time to warm up because the thermostat stays open i guess. So i'll probably replace the thermostat and then clean the IACV hopefully that helps. Is there anything else i should be looking for while im working on it?

 

IAC may be dead but give it a cleaning first to see. Just to be sure double check for vacuum leaks too. But what you described sounds like a bad IAC. unplug the IAC and see what happens.

 

my friend is going to take a look later today, he cleaned the IACV before and it helped a bit but not totally, so he said thats another valve under the throttle body that he's going to check out and see if that fixes it, im pretty sure i have no vacuum leaks because i double checked all that when i did my swap and it was idling at 4k lol

 

What is this other valve you speak of?
MAP sensor is under the throttle body...

 

Probably the FITV (Fast Idle Thermal Valve)
And the MAP sensor is either on top of the throttle body,
or on the firewall.

 

i have that same problem.. takes me 5 minutes in the morning to warm my **** up.

 

Yeah my MAP sensor was on the firewall...i had the same idling problem and still do...thing idles fine but it is so friggin choppy once it is warmed up...runs like just about 500 but idles mad low once in a while...going to do an alternator, battery, and battery cables this summer

Matt and Integra should never again be used in the same sentence :-D

 

i bet its the fitv.

 

B16's are fun in a crx or ef hatch

 

i honestly have no idea, im taking it to my friend once i get off work and he's going to fix it for me, around here they're the best at what they do so im sure he wont have a problem
