Another update, I finally overhauled my suspension. It took more time than expected, only had time to work on it on my free time.
I bought brand new Honda hardware just in case the original hardware stripped or snapped (Non did, I know crazy right)
I went with TruHart Camber Kit all around, Rear LCA’s, Rear Toe arms
Coilovers I went with BC Racing Br series, upgraded to swift springs and super low option
all the old suspension
New suspension
I bought some energy suspension bushings for the front sway bar, front LCA’s and rear trailing arm
repalced front ball joints and front wheel bearings, inner/outer tie rods. For the most part, I used the press at work to press out/in the front lower control, arm, bushings and wheel bearings
Had to adjust the suspension to my liking, the first two pictures are straight from the box no adjustments the last four when i adjusted them
Took it to get a wheel alignment
As of now I’m just daily driving it, trying to enjoy it until winter. It’s been fun to drive
there will be little updates as I go. The major update will be around winter time, going to take the transmission to a local shop so they can install my LSD. While that’s in the shop I’ll replace all the gaskets, hoses, belts, water/oil pump timing belt etc for the long block. Thank you for checking in
Small update September 30th 2024, My tensioner pulley decided to grenade itself and shred/melt causing my engine to completely stop on me on my way to work.
I parked it for 6 months in the garage, March 14th 2025 I had time to look into the issue and found it
As you can see in the photos, it’s not good haha
good thing I had a box full of brand new parts water pump, tensioner pulley/bearing, all new belts timing, A/C, power steering and alternator. Forgot to take pictures sorry
Everything aligned and put together, I had a little hard time timing it, I haven’t done this in years make sure to take out some spark plugs to make it easier to turn (less compression)
I’m happy to say it’s back up and running, I just need to flush the coolant system and pour in new coolant, I haven’t done more updates. All Brand new coolant hoses coming up. Thanks for reading
