Shadz-VTIs Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Update....knocking sounds coming from the suspension. ..just got fed up fixing the damn thing ..ended up buying yellow speed coilovers... soo smooth no more annoying knocking sounds .kept it at the same height as eibach springs... And tegiwa strut brace fitted to..similar design to a j's racing strut brace!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Nice! How does it ride with the new coilovers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadz-VTIs Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Definitely much smoother..but tracking is way off ..track rods are siezed so all that will need changing. Then will test it properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hope they don't put up too much of a fight when you replace them! Think they're known to seize? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not costing me a huge amount, am going for quick budget build for a bit of fun.Cost wise - Engine = £575 (will get couple of hundred quid back for the gearbox) - Head and K20 bits (using from original engine in the car - bottom end gone).Head gasket £65 - K24 Supertech 12.5.1 cast pistons £300 - Clutch XTD stage 4 £100 - RC 550 injectors £200 - CRV mount £30 - RBC £300 inc thermal gaskets and adapter - Gearbox using k20 from original car - Mapping K100 supplied plus mapped £720 or kpro £955 - Exhaust manifold ?? £200 - Engine building and fitting £4-500.

Shafzzz Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yeah I had to unseize my track rod ends too before getting an alignment, luckily mine weren't badly seized enough to require new ones! You've also highlighted what's worrying me about lowering my EP3 and that's steering arm angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadz-VTIs Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yasir that sounds good..what kind of figures you looking bhp you looking at with k24??I'm thinking of getting the rbc manifold k100 ecu...will i be needing injectors to??Yea shafz you will have problems if you lower even 30mm on springs. Too much pressure on joints when lowered..if they are not seized ..just change your track rod ends at the same time..alignment will be well off soon as you lower it..not a big problem if they are not siezed can easily align them... outer and inner track rods are here. just waiting for rack raiser to come..from what i read its a must if you going to lower more then 40mm takes stress of the track rods ends!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
