I just bought a 91 Civic HB DX and found out the front suspension is shot. The ball joints in the upper control arms are broken and the knuckles are being held on by wire hangers. Damn rice boys.

So i am going to upgrade the upper control arms and most everything else about the suspension. My question is are the upper control arms the same as a CRX? I am planning to buy some adjustable upper control arms and am only finding ones labeled for a CRX. Thanks for any input.

 

yes I am Sure CRX fit. I got the Adjutable ones on mine.

Wire Hangers??!!!! DAMN! Got pics of the anarchy going on there?

 

i just bought my complete Moog front end suspension from www.rockauto.com for three times less than OEM and i got a lifetime warranty...!!!

 

The only pics I have are from my G1 camera phone, but you will see more carnage when I start my build thread.

 

where did you get the car from Juarez, Mexico...you should start by ordering the same parts i did for my ed3 since it only cost $343 shipped

 

Here is a quick shot of my $400 special.

 

ha cheaper and in almost better condition than mine does it run?

 

Holy crap, talk about rigging a car! I hope that is the only thing wrong with it.

 

That and this.

 

damn no engine huh, aint that a bish.

 

Damn, new suspension wiring harness from Ricewire.

 

HAHA, that is so true. As this is a budget vehicle what do you guys think about this ebay special? Just curious, I have had a couple of ebay springs and they ride wasn't horrible at all. BTW it already has no name ebay coilovers but surprisingly also a set of Tokiko blues. Hopefully the blues are still good.

What's that black spot under the MC? Is that a metal piece welded in?

 

Either primer or black paint.

 

I'd bet the car had a b-series in it and because of that they banged the hell out of the frame to make alternator clearance, then simply sprayed some primer on top of the area to prevent it from rusting

 

I think it did too, they guy I bought it from gave me the harness and he claims its already converted for multi-point FI.

Also, anyone got any input on the ebay link above?

 

im running Tokico blues on egay coilover sleeves on the front...!!!

 

Hahaha.

 

Looks good.

 

shoot the rice factory boys you bought from and throw them back over the border...scary how that ish was held on man.

 

not bad i to have ebay coil overs blues on the back and kyb agxs on the front
what are your plans on the motor?

 

I'm thinking single cam VTEC for now, maybe a mini-me. I primarily want the car for a daily driver, so nothing to beastly right now.
