Yeah I'm using one off of a b16a.  If you use the heater core circuit water will flow throw the oil cooler when the heater control is open.

I drive my car with the heater valve open 95% of the time. ;D

If you do the VX route it would circulate all the time even with the thermostat closed. :yes:

yeah thats what i want, trying to google it now but no fucking luck at all  and i may be really stupid because i cant find it in the 92-95 helms either looked under coolant, heater, and engine head shows top hoses but nothing for the VX

ill just take a pic if i see it in autozone LOL

[speedjunky01]

that was easy enough just look it up as a part LOL

[speedjunky01]

did some more WORK today

energy suspension master kit, the joys that await removing every single bushing in the car


figured while i was at it might as well just clean and pain the shit, stealth black bushings FTW


after a while i guess the vice had enough


FUCK YOU STOCK BUSHINGS


that is all

[ratcityrex]

Get a torch, and light all the bushings on fire. Then they press out with ease.

i torched them but the propane one sucks lol

[speedjunky01]

got the gay-sports in, kinda a pain to adjust but not bad, i put 1 full turn of preload on the spring and measured to make sure they are all in even. as a start I put them at 2" of threads exposed all around and will adjust from here once i put it on the ground


been in here way to long......


they fit!!! but out back its so close to the arm its less then 1/2" not sure how i feel about that. . . maybe spacer and extended studs in the future?


really not a fan of their hose bracket but w/e. I figured for the money they would make it mount like stock, guess not


was just about done then BAM honda bolt syndrome struck me at last.

Looks good, curious on how those K-sports work for you.

I may try these in the future.

ill let you know in a bit once its on the ground they are the typical chink coilover nothing to crazy but i got them for cheap so whatever.

I just need to get that fucking bolt out! i cut the bushing out using a cutoff wheel and the LCA is now free. Ive tried welding a nut or bolt onto the snapped bolt to turn it out. When i try to turn it through the welded nut/bolt snaps off 

thats the only thing stopping me from driving it. . . one fucking bolt......

[speedjunky01]

anyone have any experience with wheel spacers? I think im gonna pick up some 5mm spacers and hope i dont have to run the extended studs will only be run on the slicks they ran me 17 bucks off the fleabay anyone have a source on a cheaper pair?

[speedjunky01]

-picked up some 5mm spacers off ebay for the slicks
-got the ksports somewhat adjusted all within about 1/4 of an inch of where i want them, ill play with it some more tomorrow
-the 225's fit pretty good up front they run for sure on full lock but its not bad
-throw the bumper on, align it and track wednesday on the street tires!!!!



oh yeah the falkens look fucking sexy

[crxvtec91]

I love your 4dr!

[speedjunky01]

I love your 4dr!

Thanks man now I just need to get the motivation to swap in the vitara motor to make it even more fun lol

[speedjunky01]

need to fix stance less low!

225's rub a tad at full lock but itsnt bad


discontinued rarity, 11.5lbs each, falken goodness

[92CXyD]

I'm liking the way this build is turning out. :yes: ;D

[theidealone]

Im pretty sure youre supposed to run extended studs with slicks, per NHRA rules. Ill try and look it up.

[speedjunky01]

thanks man! yeah its been fun, nice to finaly see it come together FINALY

yeah im really not sure ill try and sneak it by the tech by showing up on streets and just swapping to slicks LOL

[ratcityrex]

the rule on wheel studs is you are suppose to have 1 and 1/2 times of engagement on the threads so


12mm X 1.5mm = 18mm of engaged threads.

makes sence ill have to measure how long the stock studs are, how thick the ray wheel is add 5mm to it and see if i have enough left on the stud

thanks for the info!

[speedjunky01]

oh so sexy


pardon the finger




she pulls fucking NIIIIIIICE the ra1's grab like all hell not a lot of rub with the 225's at all really

rebuilt a china man LSD i got for dirt and in new shape

now to hunt a spare EX tranny to use

[speedjunky01]

got bored today and had a bit of free time so figured do work on the CIV!





kinda pissed at myself, i didnt acomidate for the heat/shrink of the DP flange so now its touching the oilpan from the bottom also forgot to plug up an extra coolant pipe before throwing it in, but nothing some jb wont fix

the plan right now is to just hook it up minimal and fire it up to make sure everything is ok internaly before putting everything back in.

one of the bearings had a cut/scratch in it so im hoping it will be ok, really dont want to take all this back out if it doesnt run 100% :/

[crxvtec91]

DO WORK!!!!

[speedjunky01]

DO WORK!!!!

I have Friday off so I'll hook up the essentials and do a test fire to see how it all goes hope the bearings are ok.

[glustic]

Damn sir, this build is getting better. You just need a stock bumper and you'll be set. Send me those slicks?
