axle help
ok. well i was driving around this weekend and i popped my hood like always to make sure everything was ok. I noticed there was axle greese on the fire wall and behind the engine. and now i noticed a knocking so im pretty sure my axles need to be replaced. i have a 1992 civic hb cx model with a 2nd gen b16. what axles do i buy? 1999 2000 si axles?

in the summer just run no thermostat at all, you should get 94-97 del sol VTEC axles from autozone, when its winter throw the thermostat back in and you'll be fine. Taking the thermostat out allows the coolant to flow through the engine at all times and will keep the motor cooler

don't do that, the engine is designed to operate at a specific temp, thats why vtec dosn't work till your car gets to a certain temperature. its just a bad idea

No. No. No. BAD IDEA.
1. the car needs to hit operating temp. with thermostat on all the time it can't do that for a very long time.
2. it can lead to over cooling on the freeway
3. a thermostat does not cost that much so why would you have to resort to that

Re: axle help (94hatchvx)
hey guys. whats up? anyways, i was researching on the internet for boost. one of my friends gave me his awd stock eclipse turbo and side mount to me for free! and some intercooler piping. My question is, do they make the manifolds needed to bolt up that turbo to the b16?it is a internally waste gated turbo from the old awd turbo eclipses
