He's just trying to make an ass out you, either that or he's very ignorant. A new member trying very hard not to make any friends. He said the same thing about a "power gain" from my lug nuts. Anyways I do like the car and I think the rod/piston hanging from the back is pretty cool lol. GL with everything

I'll be ordered front camber plates as well. along with trying to make some custom extended top hats since they do not make them for 7thgen or dc5s. then im going to need inverted tie rod ends cuz mine are really close to the body. then notching the frame for axles.

dumb question, but when you got it aligned, did you do it to factory specs or custom specs?

09-14-2010, 10:25 PM
I told them not to worry about the camber since I'm still playing with it. I have camber bolts up front which do minimal. I'm going to be ordering a camber plate which hopefully will be enough to run my wheels with minimal camber. I'm going lower so I might need plates and two more camber bolts. we'll see how she sits in a few weeks.

Im on McPherson strut suspension, not the double wish bone like all the other hondas/acuras. just 1 camber bolt in the fronts, the rears work differently. there is a upper control arm for that.

as for some suspension pics...

install parts asap i want pics of the new setup! i gotta get some pics up of my car but got no camera =(

ourbloodykisses
09-25-2010, 09:02 PM
I would but yeah,

From toyomatt84 on HondaTech, about my car;

"Sadly, with a spring that small... your ground clearance to the sub-frame will be almost nothing (if not nothing). The spring rates will have to be astronomically high to keep the car from colliding with itself on every bump. Also, with a spring that short, unless you have flipped tie rod ends you won't be able to attach them to your struts up front."


Ive got a few more parts to acquire before it goes on. Im close to the point of breaking things, besides, I need to acquire a dremel to notch my frame for axle clearance.

DC2-Chris
09-26-2010, 10:14 PM
wow and you havent notched any strut towers up front? so basically you are going to notch the frame so your axle can rest in there right?

ourbloodykisses
09-26-2010, 10:22 PM
Na you gotta notch the frame so the body doesn't come down on the axle and break it. When you lower a macphearson suspension the axle starts to angle upwards. Since the body is going lower, they tild up, same with the tie rods, now right now I'm doing research on a bracket that helps angle the tie roads more parallel cuz right now they are pretty tilted. I'm going to need inverted tie rod ends as well to give it a smidget of less angle as well.

the same applys to double wishbone honda/acuras. i notched my chassis for my axels a few months back. next i have to relocate my alternator so my axels dont hit that!! *which they are tapping it already!!!!

ourbloodykisses
09-28-2010, 05:21 PM
^ nice man, I was reading some talk on HT about the axles resting on subframe or UCA or something, im not too familiar with wishbone. lol I think I just have to notch the frame, nothing else is near the axles, tho, the bottom of my strut may touch the CV joint boot, ive heard a few storied of torn boots. for 7th gens.

here is a photo of the tie rods now;

http://i52.tinypic.com/b49klt.jpg

top line is the angle they are at
bottom line is the angle it should be, (parallel to the ground)

the reason why i have to do the tie rods is because, when they are too angled, their isnt enough threads on the inner tie rod to zero out the toe. that and im damaging the steering rack

doing some fabrication. gonna need to do more and more as I think about it. I can go into detail as I go.

ordered 1 meter rod to replace the measly 1.5 inch inch studs that are on the hotchkis camber plates

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs950.snc4/74361_1678356322561_1347100755_1784851_3974606_n.j pg



here is how it looks as of before modification

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs921.snc4/73450_1679447269834_1347100755_1786696_3942954_n.j pg



and this is what im changing. cutting these studs out, and having longer ones welded on. plug welded.

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs264.snc4/39560_1679462270209_1347100755_1786700_5631459_n.j pg



cut off wheeled it

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs912.snc4/72499_1679463110230_1347100755_1786701_6954387_n.j pg



im aproximate im going to cut the studs to a length of 4 inches. adding a two and a half inches of shock travel. to do this, Im going to throw more washers on top of the strut tower to allow the plate to sit higher in the bay. its hard to describe in text thats what im going to post as much pictures as I can. I'll have to drill out some holes on some other things as well. again, I'll post that as I get to it. along with hole size diameters. i have to take some more measurements off of my D-specs.

oh and these came in the mail. ordered sunday, shipped monday, and recived from Cali on wednesday. stoked about that.

this is how long they are;

mind you, this is what they were when I got them;

lol kinda crazy, im made them too long, my fault, I'll cut them down once they are inside the car with a cut off wheel. no biggie.


here it is all welded;

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs794.snc4/67403_1681654205006_1347100755_1789745_3071523_n.j pg



plug welded on the back side. and welded on the other side;


http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs774.snc4/67456_1681733926999_1347100755_1789860_4576302_n.j pg



and this is how it looked with some larger hex bolts used as spacers;

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs942.snc4/73586_1681735407036_1347100755_1789868_8002810_n.j pg

again, it wont be that tall. cutting it down much shorter later on.

the only thing I have left is to drill out a piece that goes on the spring, drilling it to allow the shock shaft to go inside of it, instead of just on top where its thread;

still trying to get off the inner tie rods. I didnt have the right tool, so I made them...

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs974.snc4/76791_1688420054148_1347100755_1804949_6746577_n.j pg

tried it on the car, worked sorta. gotta move the 3/8ths square in more and cut the rest off. should work when we punch them tomorrow. these were made of .090, going to make the ones tomorrow of .125 steel. and weld two or three together.



anyways, still making progress.

instead of drilling out my shock arm for the tie rods. I took them to the lathe to remove the tapered end in the bolt. weakening it slightly, but the bolts will be hardened after modification is complete. (aka, make sure they fit in the shock arm)

before and afters;

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs559.ash2/148161_1688414053998_1347100755_1804944_7458472_n. jpg

still have in mind a few more custom parts to make. im stoked to see how this goes. and, with what I have in mind. i wont have to worry about the shock body hitting the tower, it will go through it. BUT, my plans are still just in floating around. gotta do one thing at a time.


ended up getting the inner tie rods. off tonight with help from a good friend.

the red plate is yes. sort of. its not nearly that high, probably about a half larger (if that) than what I first got it. im running into hood clearance issues because of my struts



inner tie rods are on with the new bracket.

old bracket vs new one. very beneficial;

bother inner side tie rods are one. outters still need some modification. doing that at work tomorrow. and they should be on tomorrow. the driver side is do except the tie rod end. I still will need to cut up the inside of the hood for clearance of the strut. pics tomorrow hopefully. this should be insane.

all parts on the car. epicness happened tonight. sorry no pics till later tomorrow. Im so stoked. did take a quick measurement of the front. 20.75 inches. (still have 1 inch to lower on the adjuster if i wanted, 6 threads left to go down) the car is too low and will be raised. sorta weird when you first experience your tire is rubbing fenders. stay tuned. here is one pic though...

I put the car's suspension back how it was for the time being, except for the inverted tie rod ends and the steering bracket. I'll screw with the rest come spring time. the car was just too low. got done finally with everything and alignment tomorrow.

11-27-2010, 07:28 PM
got an alignment today, they couldnt zero out the front toe completely. I have not yet got under the hood to see if I need more or less threads on the tie rods. looks like more custom parts are in the future.

still waiting on muffler in the mail. it will be 1 week tomorrow from ordering it. so I guess it should come in and be on by this Saturday coming up.

here is my rear window, still waiting on 5 more or so in the mail.

yeah it is put back to how it was, so its not sitting on axles anymore, really close to it though. its got a pinky gap from frame to axles.

whats a dry sump kid? I just wiki-ed it. is it a catch can? how would this benefit me?

A dry sump is basically a relocation of your oil pan. You'd possibly see systems like that on stock cars i believe,it has an external reservoir to pump and take out in/out of the motor instead of having it sit below it. I see the benefit being you'd have extra room without worrying about your pan smacking.

ourbloodykisses
11-28-2010, 12:29 PM
so what do you put in place of the pan?

s3xrapt0r
11-28-2010, 12:45 PM
you will still physically have an oil pan.. its just theres an external oil reservoir. the oil pans normally about half the size in height so if your pans an issue its really helpful !

seems stupid then. so its going to be there either way.

s3xrapt0r
11-28-2010, 12:49 PM
yea but its a shorter oil pan wich will give you more clearence from the ground.. if you never hit the pan i wouldnt worry about it cuz they can get expensive lol

I need shorter tie rod, aka, more threads to adjust the toe

sorta like this.


top=longer
middle=shorter (what I need)
bottom=stock

http://forums.clubrsx.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=337486&d=1267248372

what this dude on clubrsx is doing, is cutting of the end and welding a nut with new thread to the end.
about 1 inch. instead of ****ing with the end, I'm just going to stick the middle of the main shaft, in a band saw, cut it, then take one inch off one of the inner ends. then have it welded back up. making the whole inner tie rod one inch shorter. more threads to adjust.

here is a drawling I did because im bored, trying to articulate it a little more than just words.

frame is getting notched and welded by the weekend.

worked the frame a little. not much because its too damn cold out. only an hr of work with some ****ty grinding discs. didnt get a pic of underneath but the flange is broken though, now just working it out even.

same height as set before in the photos above, lifted the car with a jack

so this is a quick profile shot of how she's going to sit.

rear is maxed out on the ground controls, never thought Id ever do that. lol

still adjusting up the rear camber and pulling out the fenders.
as for the front;

removed the passenger side inner tie rod, super easy now that I have a bump steer bracket. its not modified yet, I'm shortening it to allow more toe in. I sat the car back down after I got done everything, and their was no threads left to go in, so it needs to come off. the other side I think I'll have enough room for them to zero out the toe on the alignment rack.

all in all, it was a super productive day.


I think I'm going to be finally content with how the car sits. strangeeee.

thanks, its still got body imperfects but they will be settled during the summer
as for ride height, i can go lower in the front a lot but the rear is maxed out. untill I get a smaller spring. Im getting another 4 inch for the rear, 600lb. then making an extended tophat for the rear as well. then new struts, and i'm done. I might get those modified. havent done the research on strut re-builds.
