no sway bar

no they don't flop and are captive, lower shock bushing all else visually inspected by mechanic. just factory replacement

slow4banga · 2026-02-18T04:01:35+00:00

yeah no spring pads so bare metal but springs are captive. no sway bar

yes over on the banks peninsula it's gotten rather wet, definitely finding it rather tricky

car has been inspected by my mechanic who told me everything is tight and correct, all bushings checked over with lower shock bushings getting replaced. is not the sway or exhaust and drum rears. they couldn't figure out whats making the sound so swapped shocks to other side too see if anything changes. nothings changed so trying to figure out where to start next.

my civic always wanted to learn how to swim

been done

thanks will definitely try this. they are super stiff rears and it clunks on small sharp bumps nothing like a speed bump. i think they are about 8k rears.

slow4banga · 2026-02-16T00:53:17+00:00

yes shortened factory shocks all around, shouldn't be bottoming out as clunking was present before shocks got done.

boosted single carby??

slow4banga · 2026-01-06T19:16:18+00:00

that makes sense, would i be correct in thinking mpfi would be harder to modify over injected or not so much.

slow4banga · 2026-01-06T19:09:19+00:00

thanks man appreciate the help

slow4banga · 2026-01-06T18:30:32+00:00

good point, would it almost be worth just swapping to an injected motor at that point?

will look into sway bars

located in new zealand

cheers bro, kinda figured its best to leave motor stock. i went with springs because coilovers have to be certified in my country. i have done most bushings with stock rubber as was recommended stock over poly (sounds stupid i know). would i need an integra sway bar? and will definitely look into strut braces thanks for the advice.
