I dismantle Hondas for a living. There is no need to pry or use a slide hammer. You come in from the back side at an angle with a hammer and a long 1/2 in extension and you tap the back of the cv axle and it pops off in 3 or 4 - taps.
I replaced mine last month with the same moog ball joints K90493, except mine were press to fit. I've only heard fitment issues with 05/06 rsx because their knuckles a lil bigger in diameter. Yours look like an 04 so not sure why it wouldn't fit unless the knuckles are not originally from the car
I should mention my girlfriends dad is a struggling alcoholic and that fucker ran the fuel pump dry 8-10 times in a 30 year old car hammering the throttle before it went out (it was a miata) but really every once in awhile hitting the gas light won't kill you
You know I started with one little mod and next thing you know im spiraling out of control replacing everything from the ecu to miscellaneous bolts lol. Used to be a base model now it's got a k20a2 and 6 speed trans 💪
I went with silvers neomax coilovers fantastic quality beefy locking collars I got the extreme lows and the option for custom spring rates/upgraded swift springs
The mounting holes should be the same. Only differences should be between getting an OEM Type R wing or a replica. OEM wing will have honda stampings, a part number, little bit of jibberish and lastly it's fastened down with studs and a nut. The replica which depending how cheap it is will come in either 3 pieces or 1 piece and fastened with bolts.
Try using both spanner wrenches at the same time. Set them close together so you can squeeze them using just grip strength. I find using grip strength to be much easier than trying to use both arms in such a tight space. Penetrating oil will do wonders as well.
Top clockwise bottom counter clockwise and make sure to set the spanner wrenches up correctly so you can squeeze as efficiently as possible the wider the gap the harder it is to squeeze
I got Tboned by an old guy wasn't that bad slightly worse than your damage. Insurance didn't total it but I took it to a professional shop and they tried totaling it and keeping the car without my permission or even knowing. I tore them a new asshole took it to a local body shop guy working from his house and he fixed it good as new for 1200 and I tipped him an extra 300
Yep the convertible na auto. Spent most of its life in a Garage in Florida used to be a fully done show car lookin like it was out of need for speed NSFW edition lol
Nardo Grey had it painted very recently. When he first bought it, it had been an old show car had tribal decals on the side and a naked woman on the hood 😂
Even with the small circles cut out, i would need to cut out more for it to fit as far as i can tell. Is this sawzall territory or should I use something more refined?
Bunch of dipshits in my town add fuel enrichment and do self tuned launch control/crackle maps just to be that guy at the car meets, fuckin retards just blowing holes in their headers or ruining the motor for clout 🤣
I had rust on my quarter panel (originally from NY) it didn't look nearly as bad as that maybe a hairline of rust I went to go fix it myself that metal was so weak it broke apart and left a big hole I tried my best but the rust came back and it wasn't until I took it to a professional had the rust cut out completely and new metal welded in that it went away. I would jump on it immediately but beware you will have a gigantic hole
I didn't take it to a shop I'm assuming for my situation a shop would've wanted 5 grand or more when I did take it to a shop for insurance purposes they tried totaling it and keeping it for parts! (I got tboned and I had some hidden rust plus I wanted a full paint job) with tip I paid 1500 he only asked 1100 for all that he's too kind 😭😭
I took a bunch of tiny cardboard parking blocks and cardboard pieces from a warehouse and it's actually so strong I can throw my jack in there and all my heavy ass tools no problem no carpet sag. They just toss it in the recycling anyway 👌
I've been rocking God speed mono SS's since I bought the rsx finally put some money into upgrading it, and I come to find out the previous owner torqued the lower rear mounting bracket on both trailing arms to 500 ft lbs. That asshole crushed it so bad I couldn't even install my coilovers without widening the bracket by quite a lot 💀
All depends on what spark plugs you have. Check your spark plugs regardless every 30,000 if you wait much too long to check them/change them chances are the spark plugs are gonna be super nasty and if they're super nasty your cylinder walls and ignition coils will suffer as well and you'll be signing yourself up for a super tedious deep cleaning process.
Stores will always cost more because theres advertising cost, warehousing cost, they provide services like same day part pick up, cleaning, stocking shelves, battery installation, the oil dump station, tool rental, etc.
I just wanted to know how often it's supposed to come on. I swear I haven't reset it for 2 years, I definitely put approx 10,000+ miles on the car done almost a dozen oil changes and now this light comes on 😅
It's just a mileage based light. I think it comes on for 2 seconds each start after 5000km, then comes on steady after 7000km. Has nothing to do with any other system.
Dragon ball z shifter not included lol

It holds fine for now though would have to remove the snap ring and give it a wack to get it out
Do you live in a relatively flat area? The best I get is 340 but there's a lot of hills where I live.
No plenty of hills and twisty roads. I never got 400 in a tank when I was living in Florida best was like 365 or 370 but the traffic was much worse.
nice but rip fuel pump
I should mention my girlfriends dad is a struggling alcoholic and that fucker ran the fuel pump dry 8-10 times in a 30 year old car hammering the throttle before it went out (it was a miata) but really every once in awhile hitting the gas light won't kill you
If it's on k pro you need to relearn the throttle position and re-upload the tune.
Or maybe I'm mixing the throttle thing up my car had back to back problems in a week where I had to do both just check your iacv first
Probably on coilovers or adjustable arms. Looks like the guys put a lot of work into it so having adjustable suspension wouldn’t surprise me.
You know I started with one little mod and next thing you know im spiraling out of control replacing everything from the ecu to miscellaneous bolts lol. Used to be a base model now it's got a k20a2 and 6 speed trans 💪
You need to get an alignment
It's already done 👍

What’d the horn do to you
Poor horn

Which way should I go on the top and which way should I Turn on the bottom?
Top clockwise bottom counter clockwise and make sure to set the spanner wrenches up correctly so you can squeeze as efficiently as possible the wider the gap the harder it is to squeeze

Convertible??
Yep the convertible na auto. Spent most of its life in a Garage in Florida used to be a fully done show car lookin like it was out of need for speed NSFW edition lol
What color is that? It looks great

The cuts don't have to be pretty the foglight is gonna hide everything, I used a box cutter and metal cutters you dont need any power tools lmao
Check your coilpacks I think one of the rubber boots usually on the bottom of them came off... maybe try a skinny magnet instead of a socket
What would using a skinny magnet do exactly?
I thought you just couldn't pick it up... 😅 yeah best of luck buddy you gonna need a exacto blade XXL extension mod
Ah Mr. Side moldings
Rarest mod on an rsx considering selling my car for 2 billion dollars 🤧
How’s the repaint holding up
Very well, just hitting the occasional road debree and garbage Florida's roads and drivers suck 😅
The right manifold for your k20a3 is the one it comes with... and if you don't have k pro stop right now and go get K pro
You’d destroy the motor.

Try and get an 05/06 sunroof. They fit and don't rust nearly as bad as the 02/04. I'm going to do this on my '02.
That's like saying get the 05-06 door lock actuators they last longer... man what the hell who told you that give me the link 🤣🤣🤣

Do they sell those? I have only ever seen used OEM covers for sale.

How often do you need to change these? Never thought about it!

Why is that? I was mind blown that i could basically get 4 fir the price of two at basically any other store

Maybe I'm just imagining things I reset it and I'm keeping track of the miles until it comes on again maybe I put less miles on than I thought
