Hi All,

In the process of purchasing a B16A from a 1997 EK4 and swap it into my 1997 CXI EK (D16Y4) civic. I will be buying the engine, gearbox, ecu, loom, driveshaft...etc. I know there's a few...

yeah the car does look pretty low already. personally, I just think if you're going to stretch tyres then you need to tuck tyre or at least have no wheel gap. if you have a wheel gap, use fitting...

looks clean, but I think it needs to be lower to pull off that fitment.

so OP...how'd the wheels go? any rubbing on the inside?

I guess so. I meant wheels with a small lip or not concave. What wheels are you running?

yeah...so? use a center that has a low back pad. I just wanted to know what's the widest lips people have seen on an s2k.

Yeah I've noticed s2k wheels are usually quite weak. What's the biggest lip size you can get without pulling the fenders?

nice. looks like they fit easily...and with minimal camber.

lol what's up with ppl here not helping? anyway, OP I run bbs rs in 15x7 ET16 with 195/50 RE002 tyres. To be honest the tyres are pretty fat, there's no stretch. A slight stretch would be good. I...

I'm running -3 and -3.5, probably could run less but I'll see how long my tyres last. Adjusted the camber myself, just enough so my tyres don't rub. The wheel alignment shop just had to correct the...

Hi Forum,

Can anyone recommend brake pads/shoes for an EK civic CXI. The car is my daily, but I may take it to the track sometime.

Thanks!

It's very easy to do. Save yourself some money and DIY?

Just thought I'd follow this up. I got an alignment done and it's all good now. The toe in at the front was so bad, the guy said my car would have been undriveable lol! I did the camber myself and...

^ well, not yet. I was gonna get my camber sorted out first, then get an alignment to correct the toe. I've been reading that the castor may have an affect on whether the steering wheel returns to...

Anyway, school or not I managed to get the ball joint off the knuckle. Several good whacks with a hammer and it popped right off. So the camber is dialed in, and the fronts no longer rub. One thing I...

Gah! I cannot get the ball joint off the camber arm. Anyone used a ball joint splitter before? Do they work?

Saw this vid. wow the guy makes it look so easy haha! so should i give the camber arm a...

I thought it's stock, but it looks new. Can the stock muffler be polished or something? Mine looks like mild steel and has a dull colour to it?

Anyone know what muffler this is? Is it just the stock muffler, but polished or something?
Thanks!

I was banging the bottom bolt like instructions say (to pop the ball joint off the camber arm). Anyway, I didn't damage anything...in the end I put back all 2 bolts and nut and it's fine. But I need...

ok, so tried installing the camber kit this weekend. rears went in - done. then went to do the fronts. undid all 3 bolts, 1 on the camber arm and 2 on the shock tower...i could not get the ball joint...

So...I received my front and rear camber kits this week, going to install it this weekend. Can anyone link to a guide on how to set/adjust camber? Are there any markings on the hardrace camber kit...

Yeah I heard that when installing some camber kits, you need to bang the inside fender bit to make space for the camber kit. Do people usually do this? I will if it means the camber arms won't hit...

YAY! My skunk2 LCAs arrived. Took me about two months to save up for them, but they look awesome. Can't wait to put them on.

They're still the stock OEM ones. What do you mean by "sloppy"? I know on other cars, some worn bushes may mean the car sways left-right under heavy acceleration...but my civic doesn't feel anything...

Can anyone tell me what worn LCA bushings feels like? The last service of my car said the LCA bushings are worn. How can you tell (from a driver's perspective). Thanks.
