Its fun picking on ricers. Now I know how those Mustang and Camaro owners felt back when I was driving my first Civic.

Yea, I admit it. I was a ricer. I had a 1.5l Civic hatchback with the loudest exhaust known to man. I never had a body kit though. But it handled well. The handling is the only reason I bought another one. I lost many Mustangs in the twisties

who? mustangs and cameros? all they make is a lot of noise and i still pass them up. tq gets u off the line but hp keeps u going, and their heavy cars dont help. lmao. i fuck with them on the highways also. then when i start pulling on them more and more they back off. pussies

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

yeah fast off the line, but once you get going, no problem

also most of them have shitty suspension anyways, so twisties no good for them, did't the mustang finally get irs, just a few years ago anyways as standard equipment (like the last body redesign)

I was talking about back when I had my Civic aka the torqueless wonder.

Before I had the engine built I was beating up on Mustangs. I didnt get the chance to race any Camaros. Surprisingly there arent that many V8 Camaros here, mainly V6s driven by old ladies.

The stock Mustang from Ford never had IRS. I forget what model it was, it was either a Shelby or Saleen version (???) where an outside shop put an IRS in. But with the newest models, the suspension was actually setup correctly so it handles pretty well unless your on a very bumpy road.

If the new 2011 Mustang had an IRS, Id get it. That classic 5.0 V8 sound, 412hp, 6MT, yes please.

also the mustang did have IRS since 2000 or so in the Cobra, but as said kinda, it was a bolt in affair, so an IRS with alot of compromises

Question about the pulley

Can I leave my harmonic balancer on

I finally got the belts in and im going to do it tommorow afternoon

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

What harmonic balancer? Our engines are internally balanced.

MrFluffy

Is he talking about the pulley it self, this is on page one btw

I didnt know they were internally balanced good to know I was freaked out about that

Nersh7

even with slicks and everything else that goes with that how do you plan on not going through tire after tire?? haha
but that would be very godly

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

im not gonna floor it every where i go

i was talking about hitting the crank pulley when u get the bolt off. mine was stuck on (chicago seasons ) so i hit it with a rubber mallet and then pulled it off

MrFluffy

Oh I feel like an Idiot all these questions about the harmonic balancer I wist someone would of told me it was internaly balanced sooner lol oh well as least I know now

Im doing it today i will let u guy know how it went

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

gonna have a big juicy smile on ur face when it's all said and done and u go for a rip

MrFluffy

Ok im almost done but I cannot tighten the pulley enough without it just spinning the crank ,

How the hell did you guys do it ?????

Nersh7

put the car in gear

MrFluffy

You have a six speed so its going to stop it

But dont I have to load the tq converter for it to lock up in my shitty auto

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

why not just do the starter method backwards... which is tightening.

do a little blip and that should be tight enough.

anyone agree?

MrFluffy

I took it for a drive and nothing happened I didnt check how tight it was yet , My dad lives about 25 km away and he has an air compressor and impact gun I could go there but I dont feel like driving out there. But I willl if thats the only way


I thought of that but you can only loosen it that way if you think about it , Its kind of confusing but in the simplest way the crank wont spin backward, I was trying to wrap my head around it for like 5 or ten minutes and on top of that it would freak me out to do that

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

I just impact mine on till it doesn't turn anymore. Been holding up great. Its supposed to be torqued to 181ft lbs.

CL-Slick

iTrader: (7)

Got my UR light weight pulleys a few weeks ago and they have just been sitting on my desk. How much will it cost to have these installed? I don't feel like screwing with this myself at all, I've read the DIY on it and just don't want to mess with it.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Fluffy - If you remove the flywheel inspection plate you will be able to jam the teeth with something, then you can tighten the bolt. I hit mine with the impact wrench a few times, brought it to the shop to see if they can tighten it more and they said I already got it to 181ft-lbs.

MrFluffy

Im not looking at it right now but how do I take the inspection plate off, I jammed the PS pump and reafed on the crank bolt do you think that will hold up for a while

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

yea I just brought my car to acura for this mod since i didn't have a 1000ft/lbs gun, cost more but no headaches. every single thing else I did myself. so w/e

MrFluffy

I hit it with my gun at my dads place (Dont ask me why he has my gun that I paid 400+ for ) hope fully it holds up but its just a construction compressor but next oil change Im going to get a shop to do, its too cold any ways Ill get them to hit it with a gun quick while there doing the oil change.

BTW any one who is doing this it took me less than an hour in my none heated garage and its -11c (12f) so its easy

as for the performance, its about the same gain as a cai but different I find theres alot more low end Torque which our cars desperately needs, I also found that it revs faste,r I was in ss mode and I red lined it by accident cause I didnt expect it to rev that fast. But like someone stated it frees up power and doesnt add power and thats what it feels like it hard to explain, but if I had to I would say it feels like I took 2 or 3 people out of the car
