Well 150$ for bushings and installation is a very good deal. Its a lot work, I think.

With the bushings your suspension feels better?

No the installation it's between 125$ + 40$ for a aligment but for a better sensation it's priceless

Did you get to see the old bushings? Were they all messed up?

Is the feeling sharper, more precise when you turn the steering wheel. Are bumps worse or bumps are the same.

I think there are different kinds of bushings all over the car. Car companies put rubber inserts in some parts of the car when connecting one metal part to another. They use those to prevent metal to metal rubbing and increase ride comfort. The ones we are talking about are the ones that are for the control arms in the suspension. Shaiitake has aftermarket ones, which last longer than stock and are much stiffer so they have less give, so he is more connected to his suspension.

Yeah I thinK the bushings are very good upgrade. Especially when you have such good shocks. Konis are expensive but worth the money I hear.

Shaiitake what is a Hydrogene Active flow system 5amp.

it's very difficult to explain here .. lol
So a Roll part inside the hood produces hydrogene (h2o) i need to keep the amp at 5apm ... by adding water or removing water of the roll ... then the gas (h2o) will be sent into the intake and finaly mix with the fuel to the engine...
Thus the mixture of the h2o + the fuel + air = more performance
i'm gonna have the results this summer with the performance of this project

your a mad scientist.

Colder air is more compressed....... I see where your going with this. You want to get more oxygen?

Do you have a gage to measure the ratio of the air-fuel mixture, to see if your running rich or lean? I think the stock ECU can adjust a little bit by itself.

Right it's to have more oxygen! and the only gage i use it's a apm meter.
I dont need to measure the ratio of the air-fuel mixture.

So your running lean all the time? This is something completely custom? This sounds very cool!

I wish you would, I'd be curious to see how the ecu is making the engine run, I'd be afraid to run lean. Have you thought about a fuel presure regulator? To be effective, don't you need more fuel to burn with more oxygen? Same thing than forced induction I presume.

Its like saying Kirkland is Montreal .. we're west end, Pointe-Aux-Trembles is very east end. As for Joliette, might be 25 minutes from PaT, but doubt its 25 mins from Montreal .. Its NE of MTL heading towards Quebec/Trois Rivieries probably closer to an hour .......... then again, also depends on your speed

Rota is light? Are you serious? -- okay, so bad joke - sue me Dropping back to 15" or sticking to 16 or going up in size? Seems you enjoy your speed so doubt you'd go up in size but you never know with some people.

Ah, so you are one of the 7th gens that were there.. was nice looking at a different 7th at SCP5. The ones on the ground floor were ones I had already seen so it was good. Not surprisingly you were with the CCQ group, I'll give you guys credit - you are a tight knit group

I'm sure we all know at least a basis of the language .. some are clearly primarily french as compared to english (and vice versa), but when you live in/around Montreal you get used to it both ways Wouldn't you agree?

Joliette is 45 minutes to Mtl. at normal highway speed. Just so you know I'm french, both my parents are, I went to military school from 1st grade to 6th, started learning english in 1st grade and hung around english speaking kids. Now I do business in the U.S. and spend most of my days talking and writing english.

SCP5 was funny, my car was like the "anti-show" car, no bling, just clean. Amazing how many people seemed to like it, either that or they were just trying to be polite. Of course I heard often that it had no reason of beeing there, but I was the first to say that when we pulled into the big O.
The CCQ is really a close bunch of friends, even when I buy another car I'll keep the civic just to stay in the club and have fun with them.
