    Post your engine bay thread!

    It did. Not sure yet. I did an owner retain on the car. I am going to strip as much as possible off this one with the goal of building another hatch in about a year or two when money permits. Next car will not have to be a daily driver like this one was so I am hoping to make the next one a...

    Hit by some one running a red light. I am extremely blessed that me and my two daughters were not seriously hurt or killed. Only injury was stitches to my elbow. Other family was okay except for minor cuts/bruises from what I saw and heard afterwards. I had that hatch for 14.5 years, sad to...

    making my exhaust quiet

    A lot of people keep saying this. On my car back to back switching from a high flow cat to a test pipe I can't pick up any difference in sound. I have switched back and forth a few times over the 6 months and still can't pick up one from the other pertaining to sound. I do have an Apexi WS-2...

    Any extended top hats that can be used without coil overs?

    Looking from input for knowledgeable suspension types. Looks like there are no aftermarket extended hats that will work with a stock type spring. It looks like I would have to have something made. My thinking is due to the car being lowered the shock is too far in its travel for the best...

    Any extended top hats that can be used without coil overs?

    Does any one make an extended top hat that will work with a shock and set of lowering springs? Ek chassis. I am looking to increase the shock travel, specifically in the front. Current shocks are KYB AGX with Tanabe NF210 springs. Shocks and springs likely to change in the near future but...

    Spring rates and damper bump/rebound.

    Two days after I ordered the Pro-Kit I got a call that the first company got a few more sets of the original springs I wanted in. I was able to get the Pro-Kit order canceled as it had not shipped. The springs 4.7/3.6 are Tanabe NF210s for the Integra Type R. Springs came in Tuesday and I...

    Spring rates and damper bump/rebound.

    Gave up trying to locate the before mentioned springs. Wound up ordering a Eibach Pro-kit. If nothing else the ride height should be higher and hopefully it will ride the same if not better than it does now.

    Here are some pretty old pictures from 2008. Pretty much still looks the same, but it is a little cleaner now.

    Spring rates and damper bump/rebound.

    Haven't trimmed the bump stops yet. I had ordered the 4.9/3.6 and they were supposed to be here today. I wanted to install the springs and trim the bump stops at the same time to save myself the extra work. According to the seller UPS picked up the package and then proceeded to loose it. Not...

    Spring rates and damper bump/rebound.

    The 4.9/3.6 springs are on back order with no ETA. Freaking pissed I waited so long. The 5.4/4.2 is in stock and will also raise the car 1/2-3/4". How well do you think this choice will work?

    Spring rates and damper bump/rebound.

    My car is a bastard too, there is VERY little that is original on my car. Most of the shell(minus the entire front end) and 3/4 of the interior are original but EVERYTHING else has been changed. But I love my bastard child. The love/hate thing will get better. Hear you about the drive/fix...

    Spring rates and damper bump/rebound.

    Will do. Unrelated: I came across your build thread last night. Started to get sad as I was reading it thinking you got rid of the car. Glad to see you decided to keep it. Mine is also a 1996. I have had mine for 12 years now and have thought about getting rid of it quite a few times. It...

    Spring rates and damper bump/rebound.

    I have thought of doing that but it is very unlikely that I will. My gut is telling me it will solve much of the issue. However with the age of the springs and amount of drop there is at the moment I still plan on changing them. I want the car to ride a bit higher than it does now. Another...

    Spring rates and damper bump/rebound.

    I was thinking the same thing last night. I have been paying close attention the last two days to what bugs me. It is sudden dips in the road I notice most. When the shock would use more travel is when it seems to get unsettled. Not too bad with the minor imperfections where less travel would be...

    Thanks. Out of curiosity, where are you? I am thinking you are on the other side of the pond, England maybe? Probably a few hours ahead of me.
