Failed at not checking the fitment before the return time frame expired for these things. Take it from me, check the fitment before buying and once received so you can return it in time if needed. #liveandlearn.

 

Think that the will fit the jdm bumper you have the USDM so it don’t fit when buying you have to make sure which one you buy I ran in to something like that for the the Mugen body kit I was able to yolk to the seller and I save me the headache

 

Yupp, oh well. At least I learned something new.

 

Thanks Silver!
BREAK BREAK
FYI I returned the SNO kit which requires a separate controller for NA applications and ordered an AEM kit with an in dash controller that can be signaled on MAF, injector duty cycle, or maybe also coils. I'm going to try to install it before I swap engines so should only have negligible benefit at stock compression on pump gas... the real bennies will come with the higher compression pistons and E85 tune...

 

I bought a L15B7 oil pump today. It does not fit our L15B1. I also bought the upgraded Boundary Engineering Honda civic oil pump gears. I'll see if our gears are the same as the civics. If so, I'll put them in my oil pump for my rebuild. If not, I'll upgrade the pump and sell on civic forum. While looking around on Hondapartsnow.com, I also deduced that the civic injectors on the turbo will fit "into" our head, no idea if they fit into our feed line but they do look the same and the injector set is $400 cheaper at like $3xx... MOAR mods!

 

Didn’t “do” anything other than to drive up the street to buy a MegaMillions and a PowerBall ticket.....fingers and toes crossed, it’s silly big money

 

Ordered a set of Yokohama YK740GTX tires from Discount Tire. Installing on Friday.

Made an appointment for alignment at the Honda Dealer on Saturday

 

Got some RSR Super Down springs. Gonna keep the rest of the suspension stock since its a mild drop. I'll take before and after pics of course. Wish me luck!

 

Edit: the video is fine to view for all ages. YouTube is asking some funky questions, apologies!

I bought some Konig Dekagram 15x9 rims and maxxis 245/50/R15s. They're HUGE!

1 foot tiles below
I think I can make them fit. I have like 3/4" between the wheel and the shock body but these maxxis have quite the sidewall. Anyways I bought a fender roller and fender pliers, and I already have a heat gun.

Here's a link to something I never knew before in all my car years. Our shocks move on FWD when the wheel turns... I was blown away!


Cheers!

 

Did those a few years back. Enjoy getting the front shocks out! Expect a bit harsher of a ride, but they do handle well and the drop looks great.

 

Hi, if I can give you an advice, change your shocks in the same time ! I've done the spring change w/o shocks last year, and the car became bouncy, especially on the rear end...

I had to dismantle struts again to put a set of Tein Endura Pro Plus, and it's perfect like that now imho.

 

Thanks Danny! I'm hoping that keeping my 185/60/R15 tires will keep ride a bit more soft. Did you keep the stock struts?

 

Thanks Roy! Was it really that bad? I've read both ways. Stock is okay with not such a bad drop but the lower the more trouble one can run into.

 

Just got some OEM fogs for the LX since the aftermarket are trash.

 

You're welcome ! For me yes, it was bad, especially the rear end... The RS-R rear springs are stiffer the the stock springs, and even with those, the rear was underdampened for my taste.

It's not undriveable, but not funny for me...

 

I did. No rubbing at all. I do suggest putting 10mm spacers on the back end though.

 

Thanks Roy, I think if its too harsh for me I'll have to try what you did with the tein struts. At the same price though, I may have to just go with coilovers. Everyone was right that this sort of thing does take a lot of research.

 

Thanks Danny, I'm looking into that too but I'm hoping a 15x6.5 wheel with +38 will work. It does seem without spacers the front wheels will always more than the rear.

I really like what you've done with Foxy. Do you think you'll keep the RSR's on the stock struts or change things up?

 

Installed these solid shifter base bushing..

 

Did you feel a difference ?
