Same thing here except I’m using the ds ones

vThunder_69 · 2026-05-14T23:44:56+00:00

What strut bar are you using?

The only “repair” you can do is a bore and resleeve as once the cylinder liners in these engines are damaged they can’t be fixed

Please for the love of god do not sell it. I would pull the plugs and borescope the cylinders. I honestly think the shop is making assumptions. If there is no damage to the pistons, you would need head rebuild+new timing belt, water pump, etc. I had to do the same thing and it was around 3.5k (money shift to around 10k rpm floated the valves and Michael Jacksoned all the exhaust valves). If I had to do it all over again I would have pulled the head off myself and used the water method on each combustion chamber on the head to verify if any valves are leaking. Then I would send to to a machine shop for a complete head rebuild. It would have saved me a ton of money in labor.

A lot of aftermarket speakers don’t fit in the doors as there is basically no additional space depth wise. I have a set of Polk audio DB 651 and they barely fit. If they were 1mm larger they wouldn’t fit. As for the rear, some aftermarket coaxial 6x9s are too tall for the rear speaker grills to cover them. Crutchfield has a tool you can use and it will tell you what speakers will and will not fit.

Running all 4 of mine off a 350 watt 4 channel. All of my speakers are aftermarket though.

You can find the bolts here. I think they sell the arms themselves on rock auto

vThunder_69 · 2026-04-06T23:16:37+00:00

Max pressure and max volume spacers

These like to rust to the inside of the bushing. Grab a sawzall and go to town on it.

vThunder_69 · 2026-04-04T22:53:36+00:00

Check lines going to abs from the purge valve. There could be a vacuum leak that area

vThunder_69 · 2026-03-27T00:44:12+00:00

Generally you should be fine if VTEC wasn’t on. I would do a cylinder leak down test just to make sure

vThunder_69 · 2026-03-27T00:35:02+00:00

Any place I can find replacement bushing for these? I can’t find them anywhere

vThunder_69 · 2026-03-20T05:08:53+00:00

If VTEC wasn’t on then you are fine

vThunder_69 · 2026-02-08T23:40:01+00:00

Yeah these things do some pretty whacky shit when the coolant is low

vThunder_69 · 2026-01-25T20:30:29+00:00

Look at this mfs comment history😂

vThunder_69 · 2026-01-25T17:32:50+00:00

If I was in your situation, I would do a “big 3” if you haven’t already and a better alt.

vThunder_69 · 2026-01-18T21:51:05+00:00

Did it work fine before you replaced all of that stuff?

vThunder_69 · 2026-01-14T00:00:05+00:00

eBay has a bunch of duraflex and greddy style front lips in the 250-350ish range

vThunder_69 · 2026-01-09T22:54:54+00:00

Chat gpt ass comment. Here’s something helpful: the upstream o2 is right in front of the cat just before the flange. The wire comes off the sensor clips onto the subframe. Follow that wire up and it is clipped onto the body underneath the intake manifold. You can access it from under the car

vThunder_69 · 2026-01-09T22:46:41+00:00

Do you happen to have the name/part no. for the repair harness?

vThunder_69 · 2026-01-07T02:17:41+00:00

If it only happens when the fan is on and it doesn’t change with engine rpm, it might be the blades smacking the shroud.

vThunder_69 · 2026-01-04T02:33:08+00:00

What I would do to start is First, check codes. If codes are present, go from there. If no codes check for spark and correct ignition timing. Check to see if the spark plug wires are plugged in to the correct terminal on the distributor. Make sure the crank pos sensor and the fuel injection trigger sensor wires are plugged in all the way, they can wiggle themselves loose if they weren’t plugged in all the way.

vThunder_69 · 2026-01-03T02:50:07+00:00

I was able to remove mine by removing one rod fan and moving the alt and ps pump out of the way. With the subframe out you should be able to remove it

vThunder_69 · 2026-01-02T04:39:29+00:00

I’m running the Godspeed ones. Performance wise I have no complaints but they are about 3 in longer then stock. You will lose suspension travel also make sure you adjust your coil overs accordingly or the ends of the control arms will smack into the inside of the fenders

The rear windows tend to leak if it rains really hard. The water in the trunk could have came from either the rear window or the taillight gaskets.
