what kinda question is that? you know damn well i'm gonna be there!! lol. and yeah, i've been preaching to my gf about how many clothes she's gonna need. i think shes finally starting to grasp that hey, its gonna be colder than ***** out once the sun goes down!!

and yeah, there are traction bars that mount in the factory front tow hook locations. i know a lot of them for eg's are like that. not sure about da's

 

Check out this link Colin: http://www.full-race.com/articles/traction_bars.pdf

 

did some work to my teg since I got it. Did the walbro 255 pump, jetta front lip, GS-R tail lights, 16 inch konig rims, tinted front bumper lights. got sum H&R springs coming in tomorrow so I can get rid of the 4x4 look.

 

Aha! Matt, look at page 3 of the link AfroIntegra posted. Crossmember mounted to the SIDE of the frame rail. I knew it existed.

 

1990 XSi Integra has just been sold..... waiting on payment / collection now.

 

Yea, I have one, lol just couldn't understand what you were trying to describe so I just gave up, haha.

 

who was asking for pics of how i fixed the cowl leak?

 

There's an OG write-up on G2IC if anyone needs it.

ah. so what I was saying is still valid.

 

i know, but someone was asking me how i did mine. since i made a cover for the hole instead of replacing the little seals.

 

if youre the one that used a cut up antifreeze jug,it was me.

 

Quick question: I have two wiring couplers that I'm not sure what their purpose is. One definitely went to the powersteering line but I'm not sure which. The other I have no idea. One is a four pin square plug with two green wires and two black. The other is a two pin plug with one red and one black. Any ideas? Both couplers are pretty small and are in the wiring that would have been routed out the driver's side of the firewall.

 

I'm a visual guy, pics?

 

that would be easier, but my camera is at a friend's house...

 

I am sure that the two pin connector is the power steering one.

 

Ok, so now I have a four pin with two green and two black. What is/was even over on that side that is a candidate? Maybe purge solenoid for emissions? Can someone take a quick look at their car next time they're around it and check that guy out?

 

Aha problem solved.

 

I've read all of that before. I don't doubt they put a lot of design effort into it, and that it's over engineered in some regards. And obviously this isn't a definite indicator, but if you've ever seen the FR traction bar setup that they make for the EF chassis you'd know that whoever does their design work is by no means perfect. The EF bar they make seems to have been designed by an intern because they had to have been able to do a better job than they did. I still sorta can't get over the fact that it's as bad as it is.

I still just don't see being able to make a real judgement about a FR vs a custom/mod OEM piece like I mentioned w/o either some serious back to back testing or a very good understanding of the forces involved in the scenario (like I said, an automotive engineer). I'm not saying that the FR is a bad piece, just that I'm not convinced it's an amazing upgrade when compared to a modded stock piece. It's something I wish I was able to get more info about, but I just don't see that happening.

And as far as the bar mounting to the side of the frame rail... yes, that's what we've been saying. It bolts to where the stock tow hooks are mounted.

 

What's bringing up your disbelief in this product?

 

4 more days matt!! really hope we get some warmer day time weather though!

 

anyone know a good camber kit for the da i see not many people make them for our cars

 

im rocking eibach on the rear and eBay's on the front, to tell u the truth eBay's suck, but people tell me that they are the same as skunk 2 so idk what to get

 

Yea! Got a Halloween party the night before so I'm going to be hurt, LoL!
Guy who has my turbo says it looks fine but that's just after a visual inspection. He will take it apart but it'll cost me.

I just capped off the oil feed line and started the car and it didn't smoke and I figured if it was valve seals it would be horrible open manifold.
I do have the valve cover on with the vents, they were relieving a lot of pressure so maybe that also helped?

Not sure what to do.

 

i heard the skunks were good. i have the spc adj. balljoints and they are ok if your not slammed.

 

skunks slip all the time. honestly, i have the ebay camber kit for up front that just replace the joints on the upper control arm that bolts to the frame (if that makes sense lol) and ive had no problems with them. hell i even bought them used
