I bought Raxles. They are more then the Chinese knock-offs, and
American made. $140 each (at the time I bought mine) with a core return of your original OEM axles. They provide UPS return labels when the replacement axles are sent. The new axles have the rubber shaft balancers as well. They looked like a work of art when you get them, high quality. lol

IIRC Advance Auto sells decent axles too. Should have a lifetime warranty as well.

Im running axles from Auto Zone but they dont have the rubber balancers.

Raxles looks awesome but they are closed. Does the advance auto one has the balancer like the oem one ?

IIRC it does.

i did the shifter today and i must say its amazing ! it makes me want to drive the car much more its really fun now ! one of the best mods for the car


i had to trim the shifter a bit to make it work for the shifter lowest position






i know its height adjustable but how do you adjust the throw ?

To adjust the throw, lower or raise the right side.

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

So the highest is the shortest ? Right ?

joyfil2001

iTrader: (1)

I lowered my right side as much as possible and the throw is pretty short. Never tried raising it though.

damn that looks good. i wish i had gotten a short shifter too.

and u made the right decision going with black di-noc. i think it looks a lot better than graphite.
i actually want to switch out to black now too.

I remember someone getting axles from them for their cl.

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

ordered parts for timing belt service and also new slave cylinder

helms manual came in mail this thing is heavy...

ordered swaybars links front rear and bushings also TB spacer and ss clutch line.

what im looking for is a stock CL/TL Type S intake manifold

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

iirc pual has them laying around.... maybe give him a call especially if you want one of hit manifolds (and just ignore the "core" charge, since you are going to pay for it anyways, since by the sounds of it you will not be returning a a core)

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

what's good kit that you'd recommend to port and polish ? i think i'll look at the junkyards

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

never done porting and polishing, not exactly "normal" work for me

BUT i will say i have cleaned a couple of edges on my manifold, but that was more just so there was no more 1/16" or bigger lip, and i just blended the two parts together, so it was smoother; and i had used a grinding stone i had laying in my tool box, so nothing special (compared to sandpaper, i probably would say it be in the "120 range", not exactly the smoothest...)

i used a electric tape to black out the chrome trim but it seems like it doesnt look good to me with my current rims setup if i'd get darker rims then sure it would look good

sweet! PSPEC FTW!!

I want to do the black out trim and the 3m dinoc on the interior parts.

How much dinoc did you need?

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

its JTC a PSPEC knock off since i could not get PSPEC anymore. As for di noc i know thats probably 36x48 should be enough if u wont do steering wheel... maybe you'll be able to squeez steering wheel too idk.

I think the blacked out trim looks great

im working on new grill project that will be something new and i think nobody has ever done it. keep finger crossed for good results... i think i will try tape that chrome trim again and see if i like it maybe its gonna grow on me.

i need a new battery bad ! died today on me at the meet what a shame

got a friend that localy will let me try my wheels on his tl type s so that way i will now for sure that the will or will not fit bbk

painting headlight housings this weekend too

^ Nice. It's always interesting to see new things being done on these cars.

nf3d0149ab

iTrader: (5)

They'll fit if they're from a 3rd Gen TL.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

No, he means hes going to test fit his RonJons on a 3G TL to see caliper clearance. If the wheels will clear the 3G TL 6MT Brembos or the Type S brakes, theyll clear the RL BBK on our car.

Yesterday i installed p2r IM thermo spacer and TB spacer as well also i found that rubber conection between intake and tb is broken. Right now car is running like never before. But there is a thing i messed up. While i was making IM top cover bolts tight i broke one of them and i think its leaking right now i will try to take rest of the screw out once the weather will be a lil nicer. Car at low throttle feels like is misfiring but no cel so far. At WOT its like a rocket now. Im pretty sure its leak

If i cant take that screw out im gonna have to buy new intake manifold. Then im gona p&p it.

Car is fixed. I cant decided if either order the Koni shocks or no. I want an upgrade and have that option to lower the car 20mm more and have adjustable dampnening. They are on sale and sale is almost finished. Any thoughts ?

JCharged

iTrader: (5)

I have the Bilstein shocks which are very comparable to those. I am now riding on D2 coilovers and I fucking hate them.

Haven't hit the track yet with the D2's but driving daily tells me I won't grip as much as my spring/shock combo.

If you aren't looking for performance and just want a nice drop and shocks that will last long, PULL THE TRIGGER. I'm on my sixth year of owning the bilsteins with track abuse..still not blown.

The D2's I just got and I feel they are going to blow with how much I'm planning to hit the track this year.

Next setup I will try will the be the AMRs.

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

Im hoping that they still will be better for track use than my non adjustable tokico blue. I dont want to ride to stiff but i want to have that option to stiffen the car a bit more when i want to.

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

100k on the clock

i need some advice. i want upgrade suspension im considering Koni yellow as they have adjustable dampening and you can lower spring seat for 20mm the other option is i found used tein basic coilovers for pretty much same price what you think ? i know tein basic doesnt have adjustable dampening but its nice to be able raise and lower your car as you like

^ Send Sun Diego CL-S a PM. He has been running that setup for years

13.915 @101.5 is my new record

Still waiting for the XLR8 mounts parts ordered for timing belt are already here. I belive that with new mounts and a bit better launch 13.7 is doable.

Nice time man! What was your 60' and what tires were you running?

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

235/40/18 RE760 potenza but they arent the best. Still could launch the car properly because of wheel hop. 600 foot was 2.28 and i've done better than that. I think i order another set of hankook v12 again they are great.
