The Official EF Discussion Thread
Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Well, got my cusco bar the other day and installed it, only to realize I should have waited since I have yet to do my rear brake swap and will need to get the prop valve out, lol.
It looks nice, but I dont like how my return fuel line and throttle cable fit around it, I'll snap pics tonight.
Also, will be letting wedge fix mount, after I finish test fitting it all - seat to bracket and bracket to floor so i can see if anything else needs to be fixed

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Update on the wedge bracket, I made a list with all the adjustments/changes needed and sent it back. It was mainly the belt receiver mount and needed the slider mounting holes opened up a bit as my sparco hardware was a bit beefier than what was included with their mount.
Got a call yesterday that it'll be fixed and sent back, may take up to 7 days.

most companies now seem to be forgetting about customer service.
I bought something from a Landrover parts site for my disco last Friday night. I had a personal thank you from the owner for buying parts from them.
I was blown away.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Damnit, where did you order and how long ago? I checked as recent as December.
RWB & COOP - yeah at least they're fixing it, but I think it's based on who I talk to, as I've gotten different reactions from two of the people there. RWB, nice touch with the note, nice to see.
NA - car looks good
KEVIN - damn still stuck on your post, Fawkes...lol

Not sure if you guys check out Pro Car Innovations facespace page but looks like they may release the EF front upper camber kits soon. Kind of disappointed though since I just installed the Moog's.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Those upper arms look good - what ball joint do they use though - as I hear that was an issue on the Skunks vs OEM - binding issues at compression.
But damn, I think I need to start watching their stuff more. thanks for the heads up

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Thinks of going 0w30 on my next change, any one using it already?
Also, if im running rich, how can i adjust?
UPDATE - got my bracket back from wedge, they fixed the receiver mounting tab and opened up the seat rail mounting holes - BUT - although I asked them to open up the hole on the receiver mounting tab to the same size as the floor mounting tabs, they didn't.
No big deal, I should be able to open it up, but again, I shouldn't have to on a 'custom' piece. So again I can't just bolt up and go, ugh.
Can't wait to get my seat in, I'll have pics up later

Rubber plug is for wiper delete on cowl.
RS- Not sure which ball joints PIC uses. Do you have a uni-bit or step bit for your drill? They work good for shallow holes.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
They are all Honda parts. It is actually a option **** for the Accord Coupes. Even the parts counter guy thought it was odd its in a Acura box. :shrugs: Cowl plug is for a s2000 CR, had to super glue it on though.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Nice work, creative! Oh, I meant what made you decide to go with a metal ****. I have a metal one too, but I was looking at some derlin/metal combos - there's actually one coming out soon on raceseng.com that I submitted a specific request for that will be going into production.
Round derlin **** with a weighted metal core. Looking forward to that on track days/Autox events.
Btw - anyone in here hitting el toro Autox March 8th?
And pics as promised -

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
You could have just edited your post instead of quoting and you're in the wrong forum - this is EF and your 93 is EG I believe
And because I like to be helpful - yes it'll work, you could have just plugged in the part number on the koni website.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
RS- seat looks good in there. I went with the metal **** for a couple reasons. Its a less expensive OEM option and the black lettering will be subtle for my project. I may try to find a sock if I drive the car in winter months though. Alot of other ***** look nice, but I can't justify the cost on it quite yet. I have seen the Raceseng stuff after reviewing some Speed Hunters articles, looks like good quality.
