Always good updates in this thread. :thumbs up

Thank you

Forgot to add Cones+Certifit=this lol, oem ftw #autoxcarnage

Here they are, just got delivered. my first impression is that they look sturdy and durable. The boots seem like they are going to hold up.

 

[endo617]

Awesome fit, I like them, but the true test is coming soon, they are getting AutoX on the 28th

So finally installed my balljoints. Went to Fastenal and got some taller grade 8 nuts to protect the threads from bottom outs.

Fits nice on the lip of the OEM UCA

The nut gets torque to 140 lb.ft. after desired camber/caster is selected

Adjustments are easy.

All done, alignment tomorrow.

Replaced my front bumper. Added a new grill and save the old lip. Shes ugly but funtional.

Dont mind the rear toe its frozen. But the Camber helped a lot Sunday at Autocross. All Ihad to flick the wheel through the slaloms.

My oil rings are done went through a whole quart Sunday, so I have some changes coming in the next few weeks to finish the year off.

The reason why im asking, is because i DD/autox. And was curious how you felt about the camber being in the -3s?

Right now, mine is at -2/fr and inside the OEM specs on the rear. Been looking to do -3/fr -2/rr

Its a little different, expect bump steer and slipping on wet surfaces if youre running RE11 daily too. I also dont drive a whole lot anywhere, work and back mainly, unless going to an event or airings.

Thanks man!

Update:
Got Code 9 CEL for CYP, screw came loose and broke it.

CL deal for $40 only missing the ignitors. Took them apart and replaced the guts in my Vtec housing. Plus side now I have an extra distributor for the B20 swap coming up because the GSR has bad oil rings.

Here's some pics and a diagram I made.

nice. The easy part for me is taking everything apart. The hard part is remembering where everything goes lol

Most of the time you end up with 'extra' screws.
