Buncha jerks!

 

Are US headlights the only lights i can use with a US front end? I know jdm wont work, but do EDM fit with US front?

 

I will have my extra crx finished up today. Just gotta fill all the fluids! Try to have to pics up later.

 

JDM ZC will work, or euro glass housings. Top are euro glass h4 housing, bottom are oem

SIDENOTE: What LS transmissions will work with a Y21 hydro transmission with LSD? I need to drop in another 5th gearset.

 

92-93 Integra cable YS1's and any B series hydro LS one.

 

Just found out you cannot fill your tranny through your vss...haha oops.
Hope it doesnt hurt anything.

 

lol. Remove the actual vss first then fill thu exposed hole.

 

you can also fill through the breather hole in a B series...on a D too i think. it takes a while though.


anybody heard of a "Ruff" brand quickrelease?

just bought one. NICE piece. cheap too. from a Bimmer shop, and instructions are in Japanese.

cool video about hondas and the hobby

 

Has anyone used or currently using the Roll Center Adjusters from Mfactory? Did you notice a considerable difference in handling/body roll?

 

i have everything Mfactory for an EF except those... there fairly new.. i would love to know more about them too.

 

Anyone use a quaife quick rack ? I'm thinkin about up grading while my rack is out.

 

Aren't those just fancy lower ball joints? OEM FTW.

 

No, the body is actually taller.

for those of you who haven't seen them: http://www.teammfactory.com/products...er%20Adjusters

 

Yea OEM for me too. I do like the grease fittings though.

 

I'd do more research on those "roll center adjusters." And yes, they are fancy lower ball joints.

I have one major question: Why do you think you need them?

 

Ive seen that video before. I love how clean those cars are.

 

yes, they are lower ball joints. I wasn't arguing against that, rather the fact that they aren't simply oem replacements. From what I have gathered, you need them when you lower your car to bring the RC back as close as possible to the center of gravity of the car to improve handling.

 

Gotcha.

I know what they do, I'm just curious why you think you need them. I mean, if you've got $200 to burn, by all means, purchase them and improve your suspension geometry. I have seen no negative feedback on those breaking on eg/ek/dc/ef and s2ks...yet.

I guess I'm just curious as it's something I'd buy last...better suspension, front/rear upper adjustable links, etc., etc., first.

 

The stock ratio has worked fine for me for 10 yrs. If you were going to auto-x sure go ahead.

 

are those things going to actually raise the front fenders higher above your wheels?

 

I plan to run the OEM just b/c of cost.. you make a good point...$200 to burn... ball joints will wear out no matter what, maybe mfactory will put them on clearance soon just like they did to everything else i bought. (thumbs down)
with all the bearings everywhere, im in for a stiff ride.

 

Although they are technically called Front Roll Center adjusters and that was their original intended function, our main market for them actually is in our Drag Cars as they help reduce 60ft times, minimize wheel hop and put less strain on the axles.

For the wearing down issue, this is why we have zerk fittings for maintenance.

As for the clearance, these won't be going on clearance as we have an established market for these, whereas with the other chassis parts, they were not selling as well as we had hoped and also nearly our full range of parts have been copied by another company/sponsor on here.

 

what it would actually do is push the lower control arm down about an inch(from the looks of the ball joint). Ride height shouldn't change. And from what I've been told, adjusting your RC is something you want to do before deciding on spring rates, sway bar size etc. because it can make the car feel totally different. again, thats what I was told.

Thanks for chiming in on this subject Mfactory.

 

Yea I kinda forgot to remove the Vss...o well. I just filled it through the reverse switch...that works too right?

 

Looks like MFactory is ditching their suspension pieces??? I run the rear upper links and they're cool. Too bad MFactory emailed me back about my catch can that wouldn't open and basically said they wouldn't do anything. I asked for an exchange and never heard back
