Great video; it resonates with me because I don’t care so much about cosmetics but you all go the absolute extra mile and make things perfect which for me is a lot of fun to watch. The only input I have is usually the OEM (and usually rare and discontinued) parts you remove and replace are still in decent condition most times. I know you all like things perfect so my only input is save those parts and sell them because even if they don’t fit the bill for you all, I bet there’s people who have broken or flat out missing parts and would kill for the parts you take off your vehicles. Just a thought!

Surprised no one mentioned the clocking of the trailing arm bushing. As suspension compresses or ride height changes, that TA bushing gets twisted. I would have lowered the car first, marked the through plate angle on the trailing arm, then installed the new bushing to match the clocking angle needed with the lowered ride height.

I love how they updated the piping, but kept the stock airbox. Everyone should know, the stock airbox is better than any cold air intake. The cold air intake has been debunked by mighty car mods KZfaq channel. With 1-3 horsepower gain. Negligible, if you ask me.

@mondecruel1866 2 жыл бұрын

Its a bit hard for me to formulate but i try : pushing the rear trailing arm bushing in, do you refer to something to incline the bushing at the right angle or eye balling it is enough ? Your videos are awesome to watch you are very rigorous in everything you do

@vteckillerfa5 2 жыл бұрын

It’s a bit of eyeballing. You can see if it is moving evenly or not.

@mondecruel1866 2 жыл бұрын

@@vteckillerfa5 sorry i didnt mean this angle lol, its the angle of the flat metal part of the bushing that makes contact with the frame when being bolted. It has to be near 0 degree to the frame when pushed in i think for not putting twisting force on the bushing when you bolt it. I hope you see what i mean 😂 thanks for you response !

@Patrick94GSR 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah it really should be clocked for the ride height to keep it from being preloaded twisted. If they’re going to lower the car I would have waited until then to mark the angle of the plate on the trailing arm, so that the new bushing could be clocked the same way during installation.

Hello Team AHC. I know this is an old post but hoping you can help me with part numbers on the Brake Discs and Pads. I have an EK9 5 lug conversion on my 00 Civic Sedan and in need of some OEM replacements. 42510-ST7-R00: Rear Discs, but no longer available, is there an alternate OEM part number? 43022-S84-A51: Rear Brake Pads, OK 45251-SZ3-000: Front Discs, OK What is the Part number for the Front Brake Pads? I screen shot the segment showing all the parts, but the other box (assuming its the Front Brake Pads) is not clear. Really appreciate the help in advance. More power to your channel and God Bless.

@mikea5205 2 жыл бұрын

I have an 06' Ex coupe auto that I deliver with. I've only done 2 mods to mine. Anti-Gravity lightweight 51R battery and AFE drop in dry filter. Other than those I have taken out my spare tire, front seat, both sway bars and swapped out the heavy 16's for 15 inch wheels from the hybrid. The car is actually decently quick now.
