no exhaust yet so i have no idea, but i might do a custom exhaust anyway.

someone just pointed out that my rear lower control arms were on backwards haha. gonna have to fix that. I took the pic down for now. dont wanna confuse someone that might use the pic for reference, and make an *** of myself

 

dont forget to take the bearing race off the rear knuckle before installing your new one ;-)

 

Im going the custom route too. purchased a boat load of 2.5inch stainless from Vibrant, Resonators, U-bends, hardware, flex coupler.. really looking forward to putting it together. This new job just opened the door for endless options of building one of a kind parts. Once a few weeks pass Im going to see if in the free time I can work on some side projects.

I cant wait to finish the Amphibious Vehicle and show some pics. This thing may be saving the world one day!

 

The world which i try so hard to destroy...

 

sorry i dont understand what your implying?

 

that is part of your old bearing.

 

ahh i see, but im reusing the bearing. can i still use it?

 

yeah itll push back in it when you reassemble it. both of mine did this. and contrary to popular belief you can repack civic/teg bearings.
(just fyi)

 

if it wasnt wearing out you can repack them, yes.

some track dudes, and lots of spec-miata guys pull them apart carefully and repack them with higher-temperature Redline grease.

car looks great man. very nice.

 

i was scared when i repacked mine cause they were so tight. they loosened up over time tho
I used high temp lucas grease

 

Looks great jdm_AE86!!! So I'm up a couple hours before Eibach, and I'm so excited!! Ef related.. in a couple days you guys are going to see an *** load of pics of efs!!

 

i hope so, cant wait to see some coverage.

 

Should i be putting grease on that race/bearing when i install in back in?


Here we go, i fixed my lcas;

 

Have fun Jolly... take tons of pics, I need to make it back out to Cali for car season. I always go in the winter when its super ugly here.

jdm- looks better! haha, you could probably remove the old sway bar brackets.
did you have to drill into the undercarriage to mount that asr plate and sway..

 

yah i never thought of that, maybe i will remove them.

Yes i did have to drill into the under carriage. But this kit is made for the DA so it was a pain in the *** to install cause of clearance issues, with the sway bar brackets. I think the kit is sold by asr as a universal fit for the DA and ef's which is stupid.

 

i have a needle with a zerk fitting on it. the zerk plugs into the grease gun and you stick the needle in between the bearings and squirt it in there.

 

thought about buying a vented hood...but i may do something similar to this
http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/3240...aluminum-hood/

 

thought about it too, but havent seen any decent vented hoods for the usdm front end. they all seem ricey

 

If i had a stock hood i would do that in a second. I vote for redstdhb does that on his *****.

 

sucks our hood webbing isn't as symmetrical as the S2000

found out where i'm going to put my oil cooler...driver side wheel well...thinking about cutting my bumper and putting some dense mesh there and painting it black so it continuously gets air


and since my manifold looked like crap, sprayed it with some high temp spray paint. sprayed it while it was on the car so couldn't get the part under the wastegate...good enough for government work

 

i had my first oil cooler setup in there (foot-ish wide mocal cooler)

worked well. changed it when i did the F swap and changed the framerail.

now i'm using a massive Rx7 cooler i got from a buddy.

 

i always hear about people using RX-7 oil coolers...are they better?

 

installed Oem cruise control in my z6 wagon.

 

That high temp paint will probabaly flake off on the manifold. That things gets up to 1300+ temps...

 

they are fine, nothing right or wrong about them.

well, they are cheap. thats about right for me.


id have kept my mocal, but i got bucks for it, and it wasnt big enough for me , didnt like that.i should have gotten a bigger one, the taller the better
