damn you guys have some sick hatch's

mine

 

i dont...but the "holey"ness is functional :D




anyway... about 2 months ago i posted my clutch being dead...finally got around (aka got the money) to fix it... so i bought these..

Exedy Chromoly lightweight flywheel (used)


Brand new OEM Honda Flywheel bearing


Brand new Exedy Stage 2 4 puck clutch



as it turns out... the stock clutch was still in good condition... it was the damn gearbox...stock B16A w/o LSD...centre shaft was shaking....didnt bother opening it up.

so i got me a JDM 96spec DC2-R S80 4.4FD gearbox



friggin thing didnt just blow my budget, it nuked it. thankfully i got the gearbox from a mech whos also a good friend..so got it cheap-ish. but the new combo does feel awesome... i FINALLY have LSD

everything above and inclusive of installation and motul gear oil came up to about US$1.3k


then i found out one of my tein flex is leaking really bad....just sent the car to get the tein fixed.. should be ready in a couple of days.... sigh.


any tips on running in the clutch? exedy website recommends a 1000km run in.

 

I love my eg :D

 

Heel Toe has a package with it all:

Or call ICB they sell it for $40 with the lip im sure they would sell it alone as well.

I looked online and the picture shows the number but in the parts number listing it skips over those parts. I doubt they are discontinued since it was used on every car with a front lip. Just weird it shows the part but no part number.

Thanks. Majestic sold me the set for $50, so that's not too bad.

 

Holy crap...that's a ton of mula for some U-nuts and M6 bolts. I got mine at the local hardware store for about $15 total.

 

Yeah you can buy those little threaded U clips at Wesco Autobody in a package and I just used stainless bolts with a little bushing I got from the hardware store. Doubt I spent over $15 either.

Although some times it is easier to just spend the extra $35 and not ahve to search and drive around and spend money on gas. $15 turns into a lot more if you factor in time and gas if you have to run around to get the stuff lol

 

Unless you can ride a bike to the ACE Hardware right up the street from your house.

 

I didn't have luck with ACE hardware. I made like 5 trips there lol. The hardware was just too fat for my liking and it still fit like poo. What I ended up doing was using a few bolts/nuts and then I just used screws in certain areas and now theres no gaps and fits nice. Just something to keep in mind as another option...

 

Yea this! I got my oem lip from the local honda dealer and it came with all the requred hardware for $75 total

 

I stopped by a stationary couple days ago , the store had one of the biggest neon signs Iv everseen > I like the effect it gave the pic.

 

Lil behind the wheel shot , Im jdm to the bone!!

 

I used to have that same wheel, loved that thing!

Sold it to a friend, wheel had the same build date on it as my car lol

 

Energy Suspension ploy shifter bushings. Better than OEM? OR should I just get some OEM bushings?

 

I would say they are better. I got new OEM ones and within weeks it was pretty sloppy. Felt good when I put it but quickly got soft.

 

A shot on my way to Import Alliance 2012 Fall meet.

 

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!!!!

 

Just picked up a 92 CX from another HT member. It's got a B18C1, B16 Si transmission, GSR leather, EX power locks and windows, etc. This is as it sits now:




It's going to be my DD and funds are going to be pretty limited so as much as people hate it, I'm going to be using some eBay knockoff parts. Plans are duckbill spoiler, BYS style front lip, rear lip, Yonaka exhaust painted black (I was prepared to spend more on exhaust but the Yonaka sounds perfect IMO), eBay JDM headlights with a mini-H1 projector retrofit. I've got Progress Coilovers on order as well the 350/250 set as I will be doing primarily daily driving. I've also ordered some black Drag DR-9 16x7 wheels with Falken 912 205/45/16 tires. I'll be fixing the dents, prepping the body and then taking it to Maaco (the local one does decent work) to get resprayed factory red. If I can find a friend to help me out I'll be doing a LS 5th gear too.

It's a little ugly now, but I think it won't be too bad looking when I'm done with it, even with eBay parts.

Cute expression.

I know the "JDM" nuts are going to hate it, but I don't care, JDM parts are seriously overpriced in the US and I'm not going to spend hundreds or even thousands on JDM parts, especially exterior stuff, when I can get the same look for a couple hundred bucks total.

 

oem>ebay

 

I don't like the way the OEM lip or spoiler looks. So eBay it is. I've got nothing against JDM or OEM fans, I've been down the road of spending 10k+ on JDM parts, not gonna do that again, especially not on an older Civic.

 

 

Yep I use them for my shift linkage, they feel good!
