blu civic: check the straightness of the flange on that oil pan. I hope whoever welded it would have done so in stages. I would think with no cool down time in between would really warp that, even though it is steel.

It was finally warm enough to hand wash it. I can't wait to get all the new suspension on.

The Sprint springs ride pretty well, but I'm excited about finally having some decent suspension under there. It may be a while before I install them, though. I still need to source a broken or super cheap EF to part out so I can swap the front LCA and subframe.

I used this. I think it was about $12 from Autozone. A lot of people use some adhesive made by 3M.

I ordered that material from Australia. I thought it was unique. I wanted something vibrant and off-the-wall.

The hardest part was getting the headliner out the door without bending it. I bet a CRX or hatch would be easier. I cleaned it really well, sprayed it with glue, sprayed the backside of the material with glue and had someone hold one end of the material up while I slowly laid it down, careful not to allow any wrinkles.

Anyone know if swapping out front brakes for DC brakes is as easy as swapping the knuckle?

have to use the DA or 90-91 EX sedan knuckle, then all the DC stuff will fit, but its essentially the same, except the DC caliper has a slightly bigger piston than the civic.

I am using 96 Type R front knuckles and rear trailing arms. You are going to need a chamber kit for the front and adjustable toe arms for the rear

Hum. So you are using a DC front knuckle? lol

What happens without a camber kit? + or - Camber gain?
