Is that the poly engine mount?
That looks like the cheapie $100 odd suspension rebuild kits you find on eBay, Amazon and other spots?
I'd be interested to hear your opinion on their quality and how they work once fitted, that upper control arm looks pretty decent, apparently the ball joints can be a bit dodgy though.
1320 poly mounts.
the suspension kit feels junk got it for the ball joints and tie rods and to have as spare parts but think I'll return it and get adjustable control arms and better quality ball joints

Motor mounts made a huge difference. Wouldn't recommend on a daily driver cause it vibrates like crazy. But huge throttle response and handle difference
Something is way off in the suspension.. when I getting the power it gets death wobbles like my jeep, scary. Hopefully balljoints and alignment will fix this.
My base tune I've been working on feels safe enough to make the 100 miles to tuner, I think. Rich but shouldn't break
Ford fusion gauges photoshopped and changed in hondata
Hey can you explain more on your shifter and did you use also a 2005 Honda civic Cluster? Im working on my RD1 aswell will be following your build as inspiration same here going turbo after smog
I used a 05 civic skunk2 shifter cup, then put it on the shifter. It's not easy getting the ball into the cup. makes huge difference. I also added a 3.75" extension. Yes it's a 05 civic cluster. I'm having a nightmare of a time with most of my threads/head for turbo manifold are stripped. Might be going gsr head this week
I replaced the front axles and did alignment. Riding smooth now.
Can you describe the shake you were having in more detail?
I am on my third set of new axles, last two were from Rock Auto and the first came with the car but all have had the exact same shake under accel. Wondering if I need to try different brand axle or what.

mine was shakey under accel only.
the shake I had I'm pretty sure was a combo of bad ball joints, alignment and axles. Almost forgot motor mounts. Mine were shot
I remember when I found out that I suck at tinting windows. I had a 1990 AWD Civic Wagon, that brownie-gold color, and thought it would look cool with dark windows but I was in college and didn't have money to pay someone to do it. Bought just enough supplies to get started and began with the rear window because I figured if I could do that one, I could do all of them. Well, I couldn't do that one. I got about halfway through, realized I was wasting my time, and that was that.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is it that you're making out of ABS plastic? It appears to be a gauge pod for pedestrians standing on the sidewalk next to your car, but that makes about as much sense as me trying to tint my own windows.

well... in my buddies focus when his back windows are down it makes that God awful helicopter noise so he bought "rally vent", kind of gives his car a cop car look. Let's air in without the noise. Will it be functional on the crv I highly doubt, but I'm going to give it a try.
