maybe take your coils off the car
I can't get the LCA up high enough to bolt onto the coils if i do it that way. Oh and then also there's the issue of not being able to fit the damn wheel up in the arch to screw them on. FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--------------------
Use a jack and jack up the lca
Got all 4 in, rear left and rear right are same height but for some reason front left is 1cm lower than front right with the same thread length.
shaved bay more and painted it

I have the exact same issue. I imagine it comes down to small differences in parts/tolerancing between the two sides. Just measure hub to guard and you'll be fine. My mate was having the same problem with his gtr too.Quote:

Got a good DIY for valve clearances?
Took it for petrol, scrubbing hard on all 4 corners. Only time it's not making sounds is driving straight on a perfectly smooth road.
Was gonna get the rears rolled and raise the front half an inch. Will this solve my problems ya think?

Sitting still, the tyre is about 5mm from the guard. Thought coilovers would be stiff enough so that they wouldn't have much travel
I can do it for you, along with the keyless entry, hurry up though, I'm not here foreverQuote:

i think if you roll the front and rear you shouldnt have any scrubbing issues at that height.
I had a look and it seems the front it's scrubbing on the fender lining not the actual guard. Might try and sand it down or cut it a bit, don't really wanna take it all out.
The point of it is to stop dirt/water splashing into your engine bay and to protect the wiring/loom shit?
dropped this in

Ideally leave them in whenever possible. I don't and rarely have but you probably look after your car better than I do lol and they are there for a purpose. I also think the car as a whole looks neater when they're on. Ive never had loom issues without them myself although on cars Ive owned in the past that weren't shy of a dirt road the stray rocks can knock out high spots on your fenders. Can also easily happen with road use.Quote:

Throw in around 4-6 pop rivets with a little Sikaflex on the faces that meet up to seal them. I used plastic rivets but aluminium should be fine if you want to paint them. Done correctly you'll have a nice gap and no more scrubbing. If done right it can be a pain. If done roughly, well your probably just better off ripping them out lol I wouldn't do it again but I was pretty full on with the car I did it too and it worked a treat.
All that being said have you had the wheel off and looked around the chassis? You'll see patches of bare metal if it is scrubbing in there as mine is.
The green machine is well over the top. Kudos 89lude. Makes me want to dig into my pockets for just..one...more ...build when I see work like that lol

these were on my old eg, 205/45/16 x 7
so most likely the ones on the red ones are 195/45/16

Doesn't look to familiar.

Refurbished Valve cover :)

Fixed up my big brake upgrade :( 2 1/2 days of research days off and so on, finally figured that if you run to big of a caliper your pedal travel is going to be further lol
EG got written off about 16 months ago due to hail damage... since then i've had an AE102R Corolla, Subaru Sherpa, Suzuki Sierra and a Nissan Skyline GTS-T and now back in a civic again... looked for an EG but hard to find good cleans ones - was easy about 6 months ago...
good job. looks very nice.Quote:

Thanks man, is all in the prep.. degreased, sanded then washed twice withwax and solvent remover before painting, then left it to bake in the sun on 36 degree day over concrete.Quote:

Red valve cover looks good, when in engine bay it wont look so bright.. good job on the masking og the plug holes etc, i was lazy n just painted the lot minus the oil filler hole and the underside obviously.
Wired up VTEC in my B16A2 EG swap. Oh yes yes yes.
Installed NGK ignition leads to replace the stock ones. Also bought new genuine Eg front and rear mud flaps
Thought about it.. Poor banana car :(
Rest in currentlybentbutstillalive peace.
any noticable difference ? the NGK leads look really good for the price.. I actually felt the difference over stock when i changed to spoon leads but i need new leadsfor the EF9 but dont want to spend $400 on spoon items..Quote:
Originally Posted by Loagz

I got the leads from a local Veals @ mates rates $87, they retail at $120. As for the NGK plugs I got them off ebayUS since they are Iridium :thumbsup:Quote:
