Hey guys whats up,

My 90 integra rs is the shop right now.

I took it to have a new rear motor mount (I torn the rear one)
And also had ES Inserts installed on the front and Rear motor mounts

Shop has worked on it for 4 hours (two Honda mechanics, 28 years at dealership and then 4 years into his own Honda shop.)

You guys might remember him from the last Honda-tech meet we had in Nashville, it rained,
He has a white civic with a swapped DOHC Vtec and has a JRSC installed.
His shop is called Jimmy's automotive Honda specialist ~ Also Acura

Well, the ES inserts would not fit with the mount in the rear,
Due to the inserts being very thick, he had to bend open the mount(car) a little
to get it in to fit.
well he is also doing the front mount.
He took of the front cross-member and guess what,
the right rod had no sleeve!! So it has been bouncing around the there,

I don't have a pic, this is the best way to describe what I'm talking about



Well, on top of that whoever I got the car from worked on the car and used rear motor mount bolts in the drive shaft
and drive shaft bolts in the rear motor mount! :MAD:
No wondering I have all these problem, I'm having to replace/rebuild everything including the F'ing bolts!


Well that's not all, there are other things, the last owner installed a civic exhaust on my 90integra so all the mounting rod don't align and it looks like they had a shop fab up random mounts to hang the exhaust


Yeah and there is more, but I'll get to that later.
SRY I'M JUST VENTING.


Anyway, I cant wait to drive the car with new motor mounts and ES Inserts!
I'll let you guys know how the feel etc...


Later!

 

Sounds like a hella of a plan you got there chief. So how much did you get the inserts for? Sucks that you have to replace all these things on the car hah? I know all too well about that though.

 

I got the inserts for $21 and then I was stupid and had them overnighted for
an extra $40 WASTE of money becuase now 3 months later there being installed.

I am sick of this car but things are coming along
I have put almost $3,000 <U>of my own hard earned money </U>trying to fix this car and getting it running.
It also has fried rings too. and ontop of that many other problems
that still need to be fixed,

I had a bunch of after market stuff but I'm selling it all to pay off my parents.
SOld Header, Flywheel, and some other stuff.


As of now the car only has,
SRI W/JK&N filter,
6 Puck stage 3 clutch
Magna Flow muffer
ES Inserts
Tokcio Shocks
Coilovers
Camber kit


Hoping for a 9.9 in the 1/8 this weekend ( i saw a sock ls pull a 9.9 and I'm an rs with mods)


bump

 

bump.

 

Yeah. Even if we aren't down that way to watch you it doesn't take long to get there.

 

I think you could get that in the 1/8. Just practice your shifts and learn to double clutch. If you can master these things, anything is possible.

 

thanks,


Got the car back from the shop.

Damn, ES Inserts vibrate like nothing else. Hope the soften just a little,
Becuase the front of my car shakes like no other, I'll try to get a tiny video of the steering wheel, mirrors etc...

Its like having lots of bass. It is nice tho, I love it.
It's all smoother, Its cray awsome! You can hear the engine also, sounds like a beast, its very vey deep.
Even when I change gears slowly you can hear everything vibrating chage as the rpms drop.

Later, now to installed the front camber kit and try to get an alignment today

I'll have pics up later

 

did i read 'double clutch' somewhere up there?

yo man my car shakes too...especially these cold start mornings. u get used to it...u'll feel it more if ur taking it easy and starting after an almost dead stop in 2nd. i pretend to not notice it wheni have passengers haha

 

lol

 

lol.. now you understand why i didnt want to offer to much for your car.

you have got to be VERY careful as to who you buy used cars from. A lot of home mechanics think they know what to do. But instead they just F*** the **** up worse than ever.

Trust me.. you haven't seen the last of the problems that car is hiding. lol.. but good luck with it. and just keep pushing forward.

good luck with the 1/8.. but the 1/4 is where honda's shine.

 

thanks, lol I was playin with you.
However, I do have a friend with $4,000 Cash and I did gie him a link to your thread. so I dont know if he will email you or not.
But These problems were with who had the car before me.

Please understand I'm fixing everything, lol and I will continue

I have the feeling I will be the last owner of this integra. and then to the Junkyard heaven it goes.

Hey who know, I might turn it into a drag DA.
Then most of the problems that are on here wouldnt even be on the car,

Got camber? I'm installing the camber kit in an hour.




Oh and hee is a before and after pic of the susp etc...

Before


After

 

well if you're friend is interested.. i might.. but i think i am keeping it.. the car I want to buy, the guy isnt lowering his price.. so if he doesnt lower, I dont sell mine..

but ya.. those ES bushings really vibrate.. my friends CRX is like that too. its rough.. get those camber kits in yet?

you definitely needs some rims on there now.

and whats this about your rings are fried? damn.. now you gotta build the motor. that should be fun.. just start saving and do it RIGHT!!!

 

yah i think there fried, either that or a bad headgasket.

Anyway, Yah I'll be buying an imported B18 and I'll replace all gaskets,
water pump etc..
And I'll install ARP Rod bolts, main studs, head studs, etc...

I want to go boost next year, T3 .42/.48 wg spring is set at 8psi so it should give me about 235WHP at 8psi with the rest of th setup I wanna run.

Just want to get this car good for the streets,
He has $5,000 but wanted to set 1K aside for Mods.
But your car is pretty much done, lol

 

**** IM BORED!!!!!!!!!!!

wtf is there to do???????

ya my car is good. I would really need $4500 b/c of the new rims and tires.

If I were to keep the car, I would just have the timing belt and maybe headgasket changed.. other than that.. nothing.. oh.. and some tokico illumina 5-way adj. shocks.. but id do the T/B, W/P, and tensioner first.. just for safety..

other than that.. its quick

 

Wow, it seems like everything that can go wrong, does go wrong for you. Hopefully things will start to get better for you though.

Your car still drives doesnt it? Consider yourself luckier than me...lol

yyaaahhh, you already posted that.....


Anyway, This weekend I'm going to start fabing up a cardboard Upper front strut
bar,

The going to take it over to my grandps and have it fabed up.

Should I fab it up with it on jackstand or on the ground?
Would this make a diffrence in the diffrence it will make after it's installed.

I know if I fab it up with it off the ground I need to install it with it off the ground, visa versa

Thanks, I need to make ONE thread and name it
"My DA9 Project thread", to get rid of the rest I create every problem o thing I do.

 

why are you fabing one up?
