Your gonna hate those motor mounts, and you'll eventually take them out. Mark my words.

the blox lca bushings usually dont last long

chickenwing

I'm not too picky about grease since it will prevent rust there.

yes very easy as long as you got all the correct parts. Wiring was easier than anticipated.

Nah, I like the motor mounts and i can feel the motor does not move much.


That is only if you do not tighten the bolts when the arms loaded.

Look pretty good. My only suggestion is that you should apply heat to the whole outside (360 degrees) of the shrink tubes when doing wiring, it looks like you only blasted it with heat on one side.

nice build. is the car turbo'd? i thought i saw an intercooler in there. And all that rust would just **** me off! I'm glad cars don't rust up like that here on the west coast. I am however really surprised at how easy you got those rear lower control arm bolts out. they usually rust n break off inside those arms.

I've never seen that valve cover before.

I was thinkin the same thing. its cool

chickenwing

Yes I did blast the heat shrink 360 degrees all around.


Good eye to pick out the intercooler. We have the worst winters here which you have to come and experience yourselves to understand why cars starts to rust in 5 years. Yes those bolts came off but one of the rear lca bolt broke off and required some drilling to get off.

Well there is always a first for everything.


This is an OEM 1.6 VTEC cover for the Y8.


got myself a bigger capacity rad too
