I saw that RMR had a Ingalls camber kit in their liquidation.

I called, they only have 1 left... so 89.12 (liquidation) + 127.32 (full price)+ tx= almost 250$...

I can have the SPC kit for 5$ less... 245$, from another shop. I heard that SPC is more solid, so I guess this is my best option for now....

Let's see what else I can find....

Try speaking with Eddie at TrueHonda and see what pricing he can do shipped to Canada for you. I know it was the best route for me last year

Gah, doing errands today and I so didn't do half of the car ones So need to start as spring is fast approaching too ..

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

So 104$ x 2 + tx = 240$... but this is Ingalls. But I read that the new version is better...

After reading some posts, I hesitate to go with a used set (unless there used but new... like Nindoo!). All brand of camber kit seem to be a sensible to rust, I don't what to pay for something that I cannot use because it's jammed in rust... so keep oiling yours during winter!

On another side, some people are able to stay within camber spec. on ProKit without camber kit... I don't want to order something that I don't need at the end...

But, let say I don't buy one... I go for the alignment... 80$, not able to align... buy a kit 250$... align again 80$...

****! It's hard to manage economic with car tuning...

Do I look confuse??? Why do I want to drop the car anyway??? ...

Because you surf/browse on this site and have gotten the subliminal messaging of "It looks good, and drop it" into your mind.

Simpaty

iTrader: (1)

Economic like mine.... it's costed me $1570 and got not installation done yet ( except the neuspeed bar .... )

Drop = more handling... it's good for your but you will look less sleeper...

Just came back from the gym... I had time to think about it while pushing some iron....


This what I wanted to be done soon (A.K.A. wish list!):
- Get a new filter for the AEM V2 + new silicone coupler = $
- Get the RSX-S exhaust installed = $
- Get that beautiful Type-R eurethane lip from Spark motoring (120$ tx incl... ) = $$
- Get the ProKit + camber kit + install = $$$
- Get ES bushing for the RSX rear sway = $
- Paint my new mags = 1/2$!
- Get new set of 15" tire = $$$
- Finish the blackhousing headlight = $
- Change my front grill= 1/2$!
- Get side lips = $$
- Get a new amp+ sub
- get a MP3 player

This is what will be done:
- Get a new filter for the AEM V2 + new silicone coupler
- Paint my new mags (started)
- Get new set of 15" tire (in progress!)
- Finish the blackhousing headlight (missing headlight acquired from ebay, waiting for it...)
- Change my front grill (in progress, thanks Pat!)
- Get the prokit, put it in my famous "parts box", until
- Get a quote for the RSX-S exhaust install... evaluate... thinking about DIY, my dad has a small crappy tire welder that work with exhaust piping... I am just afraid to have difficulty working on an exhaust with the car on jack stands... On another hand, don't think it will be that expensive in a shop, I am just missing 2-3 feet of piping and 3 welds (I'll go the easiest way, I'll just add some lenght to the muffler tip, that way the OEM hangers are still good and everything sit where it should... only downside: it look a bit ghetto but ! )

The rest will stay on the wish list....

Ahhhhh feeling much better now!

You can always ask to come to the Redviking DIY garage... as you seen I have some tools to foul around! The only downside, there is no waranty on the job done!!! At your own risk and peril! Another downside... I am quite busy with the kids... but it worth a try!

I really want to do your coilover, that way I will see if I will install my coil myself or not!!!!

Simpaty

iTrader: (1)

Got no problem with the DIY, it`s custom job, so it would be DIY at the garage to... Seats, CAI, sway bar... ok! Ill take an appointement

For the coilover.... i dont think so. It will need to be ajdusted with the camber at the same time....

I know it's an old post, but i was wondering if there was a big difference between the neuspeed and tanabe brace for price and stifness

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

It's about the same for both.... If you check on 7thgen or on ClubRSX (it's the same bar for both car), comments are the same... the only one that is better is the D3 brace... dunno if it's available in canada. Neuspeed and Tanabe are attached to the same bolts on the sub-frame. I think I read somewhere that the tanabe is more light (eventhough it look heavy).

I guess the oil change is easier with the Neuspeed , but for you it's Honda mecanik problem not yours!

Me, I went with the cheaper I was able to find!

Simpaty

iTrader: (1)

cHEAPER $$$ ? Wow much

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

I found mine at 229 tx incl.... usually it's 280 / 300$.

Not really cheap... but worth every penny! I saw a huge improvment!

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

Hey Pat,

I just remember to tell you... you are missing an importent bracket with your Tenzo CAI (manual car), you need this one to install it:


It allow to A) fix the CAI to the car and B) change the pathway of the clutch line to allow the CAI piping to pass between the battery and the engine.

Check with your friend if he still have it... this is a AEM bracket, but it should look a little bit similar. Otherwise the CAI won't fit... I guess somebody can "gosse" something out, but it's easier with it!

Good luck with the sale!

Simpaty

iTrader: (1)

Where did you buy it?

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

ODperformance in Laval... because they had it in stock since a while and they were trying to get rid of it.... liquidation price of 275$ tx incl.

Sparkmotoring was doing a pre-order sale on Tanabe parts and they quoted me 229 with tx, but I needed to wait some weeks before having it... so I call ODperformance and told them, so he sold it to me at the same price...

Go see this link: http://www.racingworks.com/clearance_neuspeed.htm

110$US for a X-Brace... with the shipping+duty yoyu can get it for about 220$CDN.... unless you knoe some trick to save.... best price I seen yet!

Simpaty

iTrader: (1)

that the cheapest price i've found on the internet... i've already sent them a msg...

The Deals Hunters hitted again

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

Yeah ... but if you add up everything, it will end up somewhere near what I paid... that's why I went locally... but they were my 2nd option!

Good luck!

So, you loved too much your new Neuspeed strut bar, that you want another brace?

nindoo

iTrader: (1)

When you guys use thicker stabalizer bars and x braces and all does your car's ride become more stable at highway speeds?

Simpaty

iTrader: (1)

Oh yeah, and i whant the complete kit....

I'm only missing the lower brace + the rear top one.... After that, i could put one in the car...



If that is not enought.... it's gona be the full roll cage

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

Lower brace... you won't regret it... it kick ***!

Rear top bar, supposed to be useless (because of the rear suspension design)... but... I like the placebo effect!!!

Floor bar... I hope you are joking ... this is a useless piece of crap unless you want to rice up the ride!

Today was a good day... sold my SRI... and someone call me for my 14" mags he's picking them up tomorrow!

BTW, I got the grill part... thanks man! I'll look to create my grill next week...

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

It sure does... But I still need some good summer tire to benifit of it completely.

I saw a huge difference in the handling over all the holes present in ours beautiful roads! The car fell more solid and firm.... The X-brace help with wheel hop, it's a good plus!

In fact all these differences are just in the feeling, there is nothing quantitative to measure... but I don't think it's only in my head!

nindoo

iTrader: (1)

Let's say my stock tires aren't able to handle the car's power with the current suspension will lowering and stiffening the suspension help that? Like for takeoffs and what not.

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

Depends... I am not a pro in suspension... but you should first have good tires! then a stiffer suspension will help to keep the balance in the car (when you look a car accelerating, usually the front have a tendancy to lift and the rear to lower). It will sure help to reduce wheel hop...

Usually drag car, use a large front sway bar and tiny or none in the rear. This put the car in understeer mode and help to keep a straight line...

but... I am just a suburb street, daily driver of an economic on fuel civic with a D17... what do I know about all that!!!

Simpaty

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, i might not be fast in straight line but give me a tortuous road where handling is the key to win...and ill beat a mustang...

Even with my old setup, cornering was really fun.... with the new setup, it will be even funnier when people will think i only got mags and a little drop

I remember last summer a guy in a big suv was pushing me in montreal.... i accelerated so he would not him me from behind.... took the corner full speed without braking and blew him away in the dust in 2 sec.... Don`t mess with little bad *** civic...

If you can`t handle the road...kiss my

So Hans, got the part from Honda?

Redviking

iTrader: (4)

Yeah! Thanks! Very nice in black. Now a need to cut my mesh to fit in it. I'll take a picture when the set-up will be completed.


I posted on the 1.7 EL thread, but if any of you know: does a rear camber kit of the 1.7EL fit on the civic? What is bugging me is the rear disk on the EL... I guess it don't affect the suspension, but

Because, there is a used camber kit from a 1.7EL on Mtlracing!!!
