**Rigid Collar kit** Spoon.


"Oh no you didn't" :eek: lol

lol hes probably right
in the explanation it shows that the alloy they use manipulates as it enters the joining areas and spreads out giving you the perfect alignment without knowing wat alloy they use you could just end up with expensive pieces of aluminium that doesnt fit lol

Video about it in english now

However I think something got lost in translation about 1.25.

It looks like they are trying to demonstrate a good mating surface and fixing alignment with the gearbox components, evidenced by the even distribution of dye, and conversely, on the subframe are trying to illustrate a poor mating surface and fixing alignment evidenced by the uneven distribution of the dye.
Of course, the gearbox does housing does not mount up to the subframe directly, which is what the video is insinuating.

good video. Installation seems pretty easy, thought you would have to remove the sub frame first, but clearly not!

Worth the money?
 
I think the cost will be closely associated with machine time, as these items will require very tight tolerances.
 
One quick question regarding this...

If the alloy is malleable enough to spread out and fill the gaps where the subframe contacts the chassis, does this mean that you need to use that exact collar for that exact hole/bolt whenever removing subframe etc....

And if so, how do you guarantee it fits exactly the same, or will the alloy just spread into the gaps again as you tighten?
 
I think the idea is that, once it is fitted into the subframe, it will stay there.
 
Hmmm... Might have to get these and see what the fuss is about lol
 
any idea if this fits the base civic models?ej9 let's say?

Yeah id say so , no reason why Honda would change the bolts or hole clearances.

Im gonna get some soft aluminium sleeves made up to widen the shank of the bolt , that is all you really need and what has been done on racecars for years , cheap too
 
I'm going to try these out shortly. One of the only Spoon parts i haven't got.

Don't know about you, but I don't remove my subframe as part of regular maintenance work...:p
