not sure.  it didn't do it before the strip, and even with the 175 size tires aired down to 15psi, it grabbed pretty well but would spin them halfway through first.  when i get some time i'll have to check it out.

Well the only springs and shocks I had for it were off the front of the 90 integra I parted out.  They sit WAY to high, so I'm headed to the JY to pick up some 91 CRX ones for cheap.  The d/s axle clicks a pretty good bit when you have it out and are twisting it back and forth so I'm gonna go check what kind of shape the JY has for axles as well.

I have some clean cable b series ones since I use hydro shaft/axles on my stuff.

normally i would jump on it but i need the car up and running.  junk yard has some, if they are shit i'll let you know

It was a driver's side axle.  I went ahead and threw the lower springs on the front just to take some of the strain of the axle.  With the integra front suspension on it, the front end sat a good bit higher.  I think they needed shocks anyway cause the front end would bounce around like all hell on rough turns so i'm looking at a set of aftermarket stuff off the F/S section to throw under it and it still ride nice.  I want to keep the coil overs for a CRX i have sitting around.

Car runs great.  The integrated control unit I believe is bad because the alert that the driver is unbuckeled never stops dinging.  Even after you put your belts on, it constantly dings.  Also, the power shoulder belt doesn't move.  I think the unit controls both.  Has anyone had the integrated control unit go bad before?

Need some help with the reverse lights.

They don't come on when I have the vehicle in reverse.  And heres a cool one, the car will keep running if the gear shift is in reverse and you turn the key off and take the key out.  Sounds like something needs repinned at the ecu?  Can anyone confirm?

[Joseph Davis]

Reverse light circuit and ECU have no common connections outside of ground.  You've known something was fucked with the vehicle for a minute, sir.

[onlyflash944]

haha, yea pretty much a electrical nightmare.  i've got 12v at the engine harness side ground of the two wires.  going to try running a fresh ground wire and see what happens.

[onlyflash944]

bypassed the green black wire from the plug to the back of the car and the lights work just fine and the car turns of with the key in reverse.  time to get this bad boy inspected.

on a side note, i've put right at 2k miles on it, and i've been averaging about 31 mpg.  craig's suspension is tits and i just gotta fix all these small problems and the car will be for sale soon.

My gold civic did that after i did my dohc zc swap back in high school no reverse lights and stayed on in reverese. i drove the car that way for 10 years LOL

[onlyflash944]

ok.  so now the civic has a good bit of negative camber.  I'd like to get a little more positive.  anyone ever slotted the upper control arm bolt holes in the shock towers?

[Joseph Davis]

We did the old CRX like that in the high 400 whp range.  It never saw highway miles like that, but it held the power without slipping between alignments.

[onlyflash944]

Option A is to slot the holese.  Option B is to drill two new holes maybe half an inch away and use those.  I'm going to wear out the inside shoulders of two brand new tires in 5k miles at this rate if I don't do anything.

[Joseph Davis]

Corner harder?

[onlyflash944]

Corner harder?

were talking alot of negative camber here.  and since the car is getting low 30s in the mpg department, i cruise everywhere on the highway.  i need to rig up a camber gauge.
