Raised my front end up ~1.5" with 12 extra turns on the spring perch. Up and down 4 times to adjust and measure. Sitting pretty level, now. The extra preload made all the difference and it rides fine, now. I was unintentionally slammed like a dummy and as PatrickGSR has pointed out, you can't ride slammed and have a smooth ride. I might be dumb, but I'm not stupid.

I just wish some salvage yards were professional....the guy who was suppose to have my harness lost my # and couldn't call me back to tell me they didn't have one. Pulled dash for nothing, I guess I'll go in and clean it up a bit.

I adjusted my driver's side window so that it rolls all the way up and down now. That had been such a small thing that was bugging me for literally months, but I've been both busy with school and a lazy bastard. Also did a hidden install and tested my GPS tracker, which worked flawlessly! If anyone is interested in it, it's a Whistle 2 that was originally for my cat to wear, but it didn't work out well. Only $10 a month to know where my car is at all times. I'm pretty hyped about that, now if my ride ever gets stolen, I won't have that sick helpless feeling, I'll have a location to show up at and call the cops to. I'm not paranoid, YOU'RE PARANOID!

Got my AUX cable working again, and drove it for a while to check the GPS tracker was doing its thing. Today was a good day.

Well.. i am trying to replace my rear shocks with oem. I tried my best to not snap bolts but my rusty 94 del sol was sitting for years in a field in Maine.
I snapped three bolts today.. two below the shock and a third on the right rear control arm after i decided to replace the lower control arms as well as struts and shocks to get around the broken bolt issues.
. Now that I have snapped a bolt connecting the right LCA to the right lower control arm..I have decided to replace with these 97 integra non rusted LCA's rear disc I have in the garage. I will put new Lower control arms as well with a new support brace.
Im ordering 99si ebrake cables, integra rotors n calipers, integra brake lines for the rear. I believe i need a new MC as well.
Looks like most of my brake line connections are rusted as hell.. looking into how to run brake lines and where to by connections for the end on rear for integra disc conversion. I can buy the brake lines on rockauto but not sure what i will need for fittings and tools for my new brake lines.

I am repairing a North Eastern 1994 honda del sol that I plan on driving cross country this summer.
due to sitting .. lots of work and rust to deal with.

Washed the EH3. Took stance/fitment pics. Side note: Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax is badass. Paint is so slick even after washes.

Waiting on K Tuned race shifter cables to arrive.

You tell me?

Idling:


In-car quick pull. Note: tach is off. Check engine shift light comes on at 8200rpm so I shift by the 8600rpm redline:


Dyno pull - sounds louder due to being backed into the dyno shop, but does show contrast on how much louder exhaust is outside the car vs. inside the car at WOT.

drop a dry clean white cloth on your hood, does it slide off to the ground smoothly?

Installed my foglights and scraped some window stickers off the windshield. Fogs won't work and everything seems good? The plug on the power wire fits for the fuse box but the instructions say to cut it off and wire it into acc wire? Grounds should be fine where they are too. I'll straighten it out sometime this week. Out of time for today.

No kit I've gotten so cheaply ever says to tie it to the ACC, they all say 12v source.

Thanks.
That helps.
Really hoping A'PEXi can get it together, but we are coming up on 6 mos since I have been trying to get their muffler on my hatch...

Yes it did, but now it's not a clean cloth any longer.
