There are a few large bearings but as Adrian has said above, the ISB is usually the first one to go as it sits furthest from the oil and it's an open bearing (not sealed).

There are two bearings...

yeah they're quite solid, some balls have dings on them. I have already removed most of the parts and they cannot be located.

I'm guessing some of the balls have been crushed to powder.

bump this up as I have a relevant question, you say use a socket and long extention to knock the ISB out ?
with my box, the diameter of the inner bearing is the same as the diameter of where the...

thanks adrian.

My bearing was noisy during idle, clutch in, it was gone. It was very noisy as soon as you let go of the clutch when you down gear. Since I have the box open I might aswell inspect...

Although I'm kind of lazy since I just got back from holidays, I decided to look into the problem now since it's noisier. turns out to be the Input shaft bearing.

I'll change the ISB end of this year, not anytime soon as my hands are sore from cuts/bruises hahahahah.

yeah i'm pretty pissed as it was misdiagnosed so now I have to do it all over again (dropping box).

Can someone advise if there's any other bearings apart from clutch, spigot and ISB ?

on the same topic, my box makes a noise in idle, stationary. When I press the clutch, the noise goes away. I have changed the thrust/clutch bearing and it's still the same. Could it be the ISB ?

If you're talking about coilovers, scrape on full lock with stockies. Splash guard scrapage 4sure with 17s but goes away after a week or two :D

king springs, slightly better

to answer your question: yes it's doable with springs and shocks. I think with the yellow koni, the bottom perch sits the car 1" lower than stock and if you install lowered springs (eibach or kings)...

kaiske, if you are very keen on ek9 then PM me

I know some of the new ctr owners out there are itchy about modding their cars. I think dynodave also mentioned about james picking up the new fn2 and dyno'd it so I thought i post this link...

maybe check your car battery as a weak one will set it off randomly (like my one did)

nice car bro, how many car lengths do you beat whoosh by ?


hahahahahahahha :D

alot of rice you got on your car bro... heahehahaehe jk

nice car man

just let it scrape until its worned out and scrape no more ;)

hahahahah jk

how low is ur car from stock ?

maybe its just the angle of the picture but from what i can see it looks doable...

very noob question, with this cleaning, is it possible at all to cause a hydrolock scenario ?

if not then I guess there was no need to suck out the solution from the engine as vinny did ?

like everyone has said, your car looks fine, just gotta drive it abit differently.

I'm sure you angle it abit, you will not scrape.

My car is like 3.5" rear, 3" front and worse of all, my...

most water pumps should last 200000km but when you do the timing belt, the water pump is inspected and changed if necessary.


200 bux for water pump ???? DAMN !

Hanny's quoted me $220...

yeah i had that problem too, went around a corner and suddenly grinding noise

didnt know wtf it was until i remove the wheel and looked between that plate and rotor, there was a rock size of a...

and twin turbo setup ready to compete with your one whoosh, ;)

hahahahahha

there's also a h23a vtec motor i think, blue top.

its only recommended to change for convenience to save on labour.

an inspection of the water pump is done when the timing belt is changed.

If needed then it'll be changed.

I was told...

to be honest, I am not sure. I was looking at doing this at one stage but as the height adjustability is so limited on the yellow koni, I ended up getting coilovers.

PM BlitZ as I can't rem...
