Anyone ever change the lower ball joints in the front? I took her to a shop and a tech told me that was the cause of the noise.

 

Those are becoming more of an issue for our lowered cars...I personally never have changed them, but I bet with our group we could change them with no issue. Im at work, but if you find a DIY, I dont see why it we all could put our heads together for you and turn some wrenches.

 

Look what I got today! I got a flat tire today in my 99 civic:



Hit a leaf blower motor sitting in the middle of 270 this afternoon... Yay.

And I found these on my doorstep!:



FI test pipes, the guy I bought them off of said I needed Foulers... will I?

 

Its a good idea to get them...if not you with throw a CEL

 

Congrats on the pipes...now the real issue is that you hit a leaf blower in the middle of freeway? um, quit texting/surfing while driving!!!

 

ooops

 

lol the truck in front of me swerved, and I was like "uh oh why did he-" and I saw a quick glimpse of what looked like a motor fly under my car and BAM flop-flop-flop-flop as the tire evacuated its air... sucked but I got a used tire on it for $37

 

I got my Mcgard Lugs today...........Woooooooo








Car is dirty I know...but you guys get the idea!

 

Umm those te's are hella sick

 

Nice!

 

wow that looks awesome man!

The car feels like new. The old clutch was pretty much shot. The shifting is absolutely precise and firm. The powerband/car is more consistent and powerful over all. I also changed the belts which also helped I believe.

The install for both took just under 4hrs. Cudos to my bro for helping me!!

For some reason I couldnt upload the pics...someone help.

 

Joe- car is looking awesome!!! Love the rims...

Rambo, I dont know if it was me and my set up, but the pics didnt work.
and congrats! I know the change you are feeling right now as I have the same set up!

 

Yeah, It is amazing especially with my rouge shifter it is short shifts and the clutch feel is way tighter...I love it!!!

I tried to fix them but they wont upload. so I just posted the links...LMK if I am doing something wrong. Cuz i tried using the image button with links from driver and picasa....

 

God, I love TEs too. Nice.
