From: Roseville really smells like poo, pooo, pooo, CA
My suspension is a mixed bag of mostly new OEM bushings and some bearings (sway bar, front x-member). I'll eventually switch to bearings, but if anyone is looking for a quick improvement at a good price, replacing bushings with new OE will make a world of difference on our old cars.
This truck is a FRAUD!

So far in the rear I have hard race RTA's, voodoo arms on the way and blox control arms. In front is innovative traction bar and was thinking of ordering the hardrace bushing for the front lca and the rest off rock auto. Probably moog sway bar bushings and links, new balljoints and tie rods.
I want to play too. Its a V10

okay, found out my rear swap may be from a crx, I know they say get intergra e brake cables, and I can get some new from honda, but they are only left side, right side cables are NLA. Can I use 2 left?
Is there a way to confirm if the swap is really from a hatch meaning i can reuse the brake cables.
THANKS!!
and nick, i have to ask - why is that truck a fraud??

Whats with the Fummins? Originally a 6.0 or V10? What trans are you using?
Originally a 6.0 and torqshift ... swapped to 5.9 mechanical injection, nv4500 manual trans, custom tubular header , h1c, and 4" exhaust. Best work truck I've ever had. Fabbed mounts, manifold, and everything else myself. Got 19mpg towing to VIR with 2 cars!
I have Integra cables on my car. Essentially the arms are all the same minus the DA bushing size. Here is some links with part numbers for the cables.

Decided to start cleaning my garage and working on my hatch.
Then the thunder storm came.
But I did take pictures of my RHD conversion and put it up forsale locally.
Figured I'd never actually have time to do it.

i was worried about mpg since i'm pretty frugal but i noticed that as long as I don't completely get it to E, filling up at the pump isn't too bad.
overall it's very roomy & has nice road manners.
I have yet to tow my civic with it, but certainly she'll see over 5,000 miles of towing this season as I plan on bring my civic to a few different tracks.

Hey guys, thanks to all for the help with everything so far. I was able to source the DC brake cables and new rear lines from a crx w disc direct from honda.
Just got my 4040 valve from d.stroy, he has awesome service and quick turnaround, he also has a rebuild service for anyone needing it - he's got a link here - http://hondamarketplace.com/showthread.php?t=3203478
and Adrian!! Thank you!! I'll be sending a little thank you in return and let you know when shipped.

Looks like it largely affected 07's and some 08's though so you may be okay. What year is it? Looks to be an 11 or 12?
It's fantastic, but then again I don't tow anything larger than an open trailer with an import on top of it.

very nice pal.
I prefer a smaller frame truck like the tacoma too but was worried i'd put too much strain on a v6 towing the ef around the midwest. Also the damn tacomas hold their value so well, they are just as expensive as the tundras when you look at similar year/miles.

In fact, I put 3500 cash down and a 2500 trade and I owe LESS than its resale value, So I drove it off the lot and didnt lose money lol.
Got the work done on the CRX this week.
• Timing Belt and Water Pump replacement
• Replaced crank shaft seal
• Replaced cam shaft seal
I inspected the old belt, and there's no cracks or signs of cracks/wear at all on the belt. I could've probably have gone another 2-3 or more years with it ! Next time, I'll give it 10-12 years on the belt or 100,000 km, whatever comes first. Only thing I worry about is the water pump... but they say Honda water pumps can last 15-20 years or more or until they fail ! crazy !
