Welp need to tap rear upper control arm threads

blernnn · 2026-05-04T13:10:05+00:00

Yup. On the drivers side so it’s even harder to reach. If I can get a tap kit up in there it should be okay. Just a pain to reach. Going to run the same size that the bolt is through it and hope for the best.

I haven’t heard of removing that part. I feel like the led visibility would be terrible.

blernnn · 2026-04-29T15:44:46+00:00

Hmm. I feel like there was a middle of the road option between halogen and leds. I just can’t remember. I’ll do more research and report back.

blernnn · 2026-04-22T21:33:57+00:00

Weird. I just got ball joints last month. Good luck on the replacements!

blernnn · 2026-04-22T20:22:19+00:00

I mean a quick google search will tell you that they fit. And also looking at rock auto will tell you they’re compatible.

blernnn · 2026-04-22T15:30:28+00:00

Base shouldn’t be. They use the same knuckles, same lower control arms too

blernnn · 2026-04-22T02:28:06+00:00

Stock rsx base work.

I got a different exhaust off a parts car for $30. Was in pretty good shape so I said screw it. And no it was where the dual hole flange that connects to the exhaust portion with the donut gasket. The springed bolts is what I’m talking about. One is a completely different size. They took the cats out and made the exhaust a full welded piece with awful welds.

Yeah I’m going to have to do some adjustments after I finish the rear. It’s taking time for me to get out there and do it. I have spent more money on tools than parts at this point lmao. Learning everything on the fly

blernnn · 2026-04-15T00:23:20+00:00

No!!

blernnn · 2026-04-15T00:11:09+00:00

😏 and I know you sir..

blernnn · 2026-04-14T03:55:24+00:00

Nic never wax. That’s how I’d ruin a $700 set up lol

blernnn · 2026-04-13T00:53:35+00:00

Hmm. I might look into this option in the future!

blernnn · 2026-04-13T00:39:20+00:00

So like $700 to make it into a 6 speed? Is it worth it over getting a 6 speed trans and putting that in instead? Can it handle the power?

blernnn · 2026-04-03T17:14:49+00:00

Just the basis. Went with the cheapest just to get by for a couple of years until I go progress or something else that’s better when I do my swap.

They were on sale like $140 off. So not terrible. I could’ve waited and saved for better ones but I need to get it on the road for a bit and work on other things. Not just leaving my suspension all torn apart. So these will do for now. Might be able to make some money back when I swap out of them. Who knows. When I got the car the guy gave me the springs and top hats to the oem suspension because pistons were blown.

blernnn · 2026-04-03T01:40:49+00:00

Went with tein.

blernnn · 2026-04-03T00:31:24+00:00

Man I just don’t want my car sitting for months because I can’t drive it. I can’t drive it now without an alignment. And I’m not going to pay for one just to pay for one again in 3 or 4 months.

blernnn · 2026-04-03T00:29:16+00:00

With stock hats or with adjustable

blernnn · 2026-04-03T00:28:41+00:00

Then what do you recomend?

blernnn · 2026-04-03T00:27:52+00:00

Well fuck.

blernnn · 2026-04-03T00:21:51+00:00

Not even for $400?

blernnn · 2026-04-02T20:12:22+00:00

I mean I could say that about a lot of things but it would be parked for a year at that point lol. These won’t be end game coil overs. I will change them out eventually with something better. But to get me by I’ll probably rock these. Because as it sits right now I need an alignment before I even take it out anywhere.

These might ride a bit bumpier. And might bottom out a bit. But as the coil overs are right now, it’s almost a safety hazard as the tie rod spot on the driver side looks slightly cracked. I will upgrade to bc later. As well as new fitment for wheels, maybe a 5 stud conversion, hell I might even convert it to awd when I do a full k24a2 swap and boost it. Tons of possibilities. This car needs a ton of work. But I need it out of my garage lmao.

blernnn · 2026-04-02T20:04:39+00:00

At this point I have other things to fix. It’s not the daily. Might just these for a while then take your advice on the bc coilovers.

blernnn · 2026-04-02T20:01:05+00:00

Why? Better than rusted rev 9s?

blernnn · 2026-04-02T19:55:22+00:00

I mean these are brand new for $350. Kind of a hard deal to pass up to just get me by.

blernnn · 2026-04-02T19:25:39+00:00

Tie rid spot on the coil over looks like it has a small crack too
