with the billet al. hasport mounts and JDM SiR knucles, do I keep the dust cover over the bearing or take it out? I'm using 93 GSR DA axles.

 

i did, but i used EX knuckles. put it all in there first and see if it fits okay.
once you remove the dust ring, i dont think you can get it back in.

someone return this guy's tranny video!

 

pretty sure you take them out. Or you could do as my friend did on his. Kept them in and the car wouldnt roll. Took them out and the car worked fine.

 

what axels was he runn'n? I was under impression that with the true SiR units, I should be ok with those dust rings on OK.
I thought that HASPORT got the engine position just about the same as the JDM SiR but a little bit back. right?

 

well, DA axles are not the same as SiR axles.

i remember the older hasport site said to mimic a SiR axle you need to mix axle parts from 90-93 integra axle and a 86-89 integra axle (the outer joint of one on the other axle, i cant remember which was which).

with hasport, the motor sits further back than in a SiR so i would imagine axle alignment might be off if you used SiR axles.

btw, you do know about the toe-in problem with SiR knuckles right?

 

yea, but you said that DA tie rods will fix that, right?

 

not 100% sure. thats what i've heard.

 

DA outer tie rods won't fix the toe problem. I just got a set and they are teh same size as the ED/EF outer tie rods.

maybe the inner tie rods are different, but I haven't checke those yet.

 

sounds like I'm gonna have to cut the inner tie rod end...
