How I Plan To Keep My Hands Clean With My H1 Car

Just a little bling bling. Chassis satin black powder coat.

Calipers and rear suspension to follow.

it's not in the rules that u can add bling to ur suspension components... so it must not be legal.

Excellent idea - you will save hours over the life of the car, not having to deal with yuck. I would not do the calipers, however, thinking that the coating would act as a thermal barrier (albeit a small one) on a part that you want to shed as much heat as possible. I have no empirical evidence to back this up but there you go...

they don't look like lower civic arms to me...

They are GSR LCAs and the knuckles are off Gordon's RS.

I got the upper arms coated prior to knowingthat I couldn't get ball joints by themselves. These were to just get the car on the road since it will be street legal (at least it's got an inspection until 6/04

I'll most likely fabricate custom upper control arms with replaceable ball joints to incorporate camber and caster adjustments.

Hadn't seen those but I'm looking for something that has a more positive way of keeping everything in place under load.

Although they do look nice, how does it keep your hands clean? Or was it a joke that went way over my head?

Re: How I Plan To Keep My Hands Clean With My H1 Car (SMSP)

although a good idea to keep things cleaner

it will be harder to inspect for hairline cracks.....

all those parts can be wear items....
