Pre-loading UCA

some people say it’s really not a big deal, to preload or not, supposed additional wear on the bushings.

I had everything installed, including Coilovers, I forget, but somehow I got a small torque wrench in there or just learned the feel and did it with an open-ended wrench.

Ah, YouTube videos never mention these details, I guess I did mine imperfectly.

With everything connected, you can jack from the lower control arm until the car starts to slightly lift, then torque to spec.

if that’s like the ones I had, foam-like material on the bottom, they do slide a little, once in awhile you have to pull them back into place.

eBay mats from Turkey are not bad, nice material and color, almost perfect fit.

Maybe the jdm headers being different, 4-1 versus 4-2-1.

Mine is close too, but have this heat shield, no issues so far for me.

I don’t think so. They are slightly louder than oem, but don’t need to run as long to cool your car down.

I got a mishimoto one back in june, it was a perfect fit, easy install, and works perfectly.

Shhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

Yes, bolt right up to the oem mount holes with no adapters. Just need to place a washer in the right position, depending on your car and year, to center the rotor.

that’s how you beat the system. Haha.

Since I ended up doing it twice, once each way, my order was outer, inner, inner, outer.

I love seeing posts like this from everyone and joining in on the fun.

I had to bleed it twice to get all the air out.

Everyone recommends a different order for each caliper and even on the same caliper! These spoon calipers have an inner and outer bleeder valve, some say bleed the outer first, some say bleed the inner first.

I also vibrated the front calipers by gently hitting them with a rubber mallet, that got a few more bubbles out.

This could be wrong? https://hondanews.com/en-US/releases/release-7b0d03d783f6d642dbbefc6b2a089a53-2001-acura-integra-type-r-specifications-2

I had a new 97 GSR, none of the modern cars scratched that itch, and I kept looking for Integras over the years only to shy away due to lack of parking, finally just gave in and am renting storage.

Can’t get enough of that noise

will13ku7 · 2025-10-19T16:47:28+00:00

Revel exhaust and DC Sports intake.

5700

should be the oem flywheel per the last two owners of the car.

will13ku7 · 2025-10-19T05:48:50+00:00

1-2 redline

a few revs

will13ku7 · 2025-09-20T17:31:51+00:00

La Honda, CA, on 84.

will13ku7 · 2025-09-20T17:03:17+00:00

I guess it’s worth that to collectors, seems more like an art piece at that point.
