lol [freak] that, once its on, its on haha idk if youve ever swapped out the hubs like that, its not the most fun thing haha, but i might just get it and sell it
seeing as i like my 4x114 wheels
and i just got my big brakes!
</TD></TR></TABLE>
i have
and i'm with you that its not fun...
specially the front trying to pop the tension on the ball joints, tie rods, control arm, all tied down with castle nuts and cotter pins that always managed to get lost
and also the axle nut as well and not a good idea to to keep popping it in and out of a spline oftenly...i'd be afraid at least one of those times it might go in wrong or not all the way :crook
not sure how hard and time consuming the rears are...never done them before except when I originally took everything off with the trailing arms, lcas, and suspension from the integra for rear discs
I mean its easy and all and doesn't take much time, specially if you have removed them before, it should all pop off relatively easy and no rust or anything
But i mean its just not worth it for a set of wheels is it?
I already think its a PITA enough to change a full set of wheels let alone the hubs too

Yep I wanted both and when I found it I had to jump on it
Yeah def. haha
Can't wait to get that on there with the 97 front bumper. Now I have to decide what color I want to paint my car or just get it resprayed red. decisions decisions </TD></TR></TABLE>
Considering what both go for seperately its definitley a good deal
not to mention its already done so no chance of messing it up trying to do it yourself (not that its hard)
looks like you have a nice upgrade for your front and rear of your del sol exterior![](https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif)
sure you don't want to keep the spongebob yellow color? lol

Picked up a few new parts lately, nothing major and here's one of them/the most recent one
(For PA MATT)
Aerocatch CF hood pins:
![](https://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj267/mugen-k/DSC00343.jpg)
up close/weave:
![](https://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj267/mugen-k/DSC00344.jpg)
pretty impressed with the finish and quality considering its such a small piece
Was buying them for when I get a CF hood
so they'd match, but might just put them on my hood now and replace the ones I already have
These are the flush so they are supposed to mount underneath, but might just mount then on top like my regular plus flush ones do now (like the look of it that way better) just gotta get the right hardware (they make a tamper proof with different screw heads)
plus my hood was not cut for these type which require a perfect outline to be cutout, and mine isn't "scared"
besides mounting different, these don't have locks and thats a feature I really like with the ones I have now
(like lug nuts...w or w/o locks lol)
Pics of my old/regular/locking/top mount ones I have now

only negative about these pins is that I can't rock a cool OEM hood bra like everyone else

i have dealt with that more than any one should. but i can change and axle like you wouldnt believe
last winter i went through atleast 4 axles in my 4dr
once it left me completely stranded in a parking lot. so there i was the day before christmas eve, changing an axle at 11pm in a snow storm/sleet storm. <<<i almost wanted to cry
do you guys know of the non-destuctive way the pop the ball joint off? without a fork?

MY SOL IS FIXED WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
my uncle put the wrong plugs in and they were shitty autolites anyways and it was missing the MAP sensor gasket.
But it's in the process of tuning right now
