just a quick question . that front jacking point u used it that safe?

i used to use that but i get paranoid as it seems like ur jacking the radiadtor support which looks very fragile.

as above

safe as

[muhhan]

Makes life a hell of a lot easier, rather than having to jack one side then go around and jack the other side.

a couple of questions,
My aircon is screwed, it makes a rattling sound almost like someone shaking a tincan with something in it. i dont noe wat it is exactly but i do noe its aircon coz everytym i turn on the ac it gets much worse!
How do i noe if its the belt, compressor, or wat not?

Also i have a spare ac unit from my previous wreck, does that mean i have to be replacing belts if i want to swap them over?

see the condition of the belt, if it;s not cracked, just reuse it.
make sure it's the right compressor, honda used different branded compressors, so make sure they're both the same brath before you put it in.
and btw, seems like its your compressor clutch.

just a question about tensioning the belts, how do you know how much is enough?

lol.

hehe, i've improved on mine as it seems to be sinking abit, its been reenforced & a new mount made closer to centre.

Was told by the welder that the reason it prob is not in the centre is the weight distribution of the car, its heavier on one side
